Each disc is pressed on a different colour, green, lilac, orange and blue, with sleeve notes by Kris Needs. Each side of vinyl is grouped by Alex to represent the 4 seasons, hence its botanical title. The comp’s “roots and more recent shoots” traverses their work for Universal across discs A and B, whilst discs C and D explore their music for indie labels Cooking Vinyl, Kompakt, Malicious Damage, and Liquid Sound Design. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2CD - 6 panel 2CD with 24 page booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I don’t want The Orb to end up milking it like Roxy Music, who were always cranking out another best-of, although we did release the ‘History Of The Future’ best-of in 2013, and its part 2 in 2015 to be fair. We have such a gigantic catalogue though, that sometimes even I need a reminder of what I’ve done, especially these days. This is a sort of director’s cut, reframing our output, making new neuro pathways, and new juxtapositions. Some of these tracks are 30 years apart, but there are clear through lines, a continuum.” Alex Paterson\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cooking Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50458992410955,"sku":"2220373","price":109.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CDx2","offer_id":50458991886667,"sku":"2220371","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/orboretumCD_436de88a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727216111","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/orboretum-the-orb-collection","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
