Taken from this weeks NME (last wk April 1994):

"Orb chip in with new album"

The Orb release their new album 'Pomme Fritz' through Island Inter Modo on
May 31st.

Described as a 'little' album - as opposed to a mini album - a culinary
theme runs through it. The tracks are 'Pomme Fritz Meat and Veg', 'More
Gills Less Fishcakes', 'We're Pastie To Grill You', 'Bang 'Er 'N' Chips',
'Aller Ist Schoen' and 'His Immortal Logness'.

Legal problems with The Orb's former label Big Life have prevented them
releasing a new album since 'UFOrb' nearly two years ago, although Alex
Paterson and Thrash are rumored to have recorded a substantial body of work
in that time.  Legal problems of a different nature prevented Paterson from
DJ-ing recently in Moscow. Paterson accompanied by NME, was playing at the
Pilot Club in Moscow with Autechre and The Aphex Twin. Apparently the local
militia objected to The Aphex Twin's set and removed him from the decks.
When Paterson tried to take his turn DJ-ing they started pushing and
jostling him. Paterson sat down on his record box and refused to budge,
repeating "F--- off!" over and over, adding, "That's the only language you
people understand." (Full story next week.)

Meanwhile, The Orb play a show at Dublin The Point on May21st. Tickets are
available at 17.50 UKP from HMV, 65 Grafton Street, Dublin 2. There is a
2.25 UKP booking fee for postage to the UK. The credit card booking hotline
is 0103 531 679 5364.

"The Orb Crack A Joke"

The Orb have recruited original Killing Joke drummer Big Paul Ferguson for
the live gigs they're planning later this year.  They've already comfirmed
the first, which takes place at Dublin Point on Mat 21st.It's a late-night
event going on until 2am.  Alex Paterson met Big Paul when he roadied for
the Joke in the Eighties. It's thought that Ferguson's decision to join The
Orb was instrumental in his turning down an offer to join Youth in the
recently reformed Killing Joke line-up.  ...Many of the tracks on the LP
[Pommes Fritz] have been co-written with Sun Electric Berliner, Thomas
Fheldman.
