Orb

The Orb is a Long-running UK electronic group, originally formed by Jimmy Cauty (of The KLF) and Alex Paterson in 1988, that grew out of a love of ambient music and dub, soundscapes and science fiction. Due to the early work in this style, The Orb became pioneers of the early-90's-born "ambient house" genre. They are perhaps best known for the UK Top 10 hit, "Little fluffy clouds" in 1993. They had bigger hits with "Blue Room" in 1992 and "Toxygene" in 1997.

Mr. Modo Recordings with Alex (they had known each other since they were young, and Alex was a roadie for the group Killing Joke, in which Youth played bass).

This was a US Dance #1 in August 1992 and the track "When you made the mountain" also reached the top of the dance charts in 1994.

Date	   UK	Song
Jul 1996    5	How Bizarre

What happened next?
"how bizarre" raised a lot of eyebrows, especially from Pauly himself. So much so, it is believed that Dwayne Johnson may have borrowed that look, when he was the Rock in the WWE. OMC split so after but came together for one last release, 4 All Of Us, with actress Lucy Lawless in 2007 and the name was allowed to die after the end of that project. Pauly Fuemana passed away on 31 January, 2010.
