Described as their “most ambient album yet,” Chill Out World is scheduled for  release tomorrow Oct 13, 2016 through Kompakt. The ten-track album continues The Orb’s Kompakt connection, after last year’s Moonbuilding 2703 AD LP (and this March’s Alpine EP) on the Cologne label. But while Moonbuilding 2703 AD took six years before it finally came together, Alex Paterson and Thomas Fehlmann needed just six months to produce COW / Chill Out, World!. Paterson describes COW / Chill Out, World! as a protest album in reverse.” Fehlmann, who also comments on how the pair “trusted our first instincts and allowed the ideas to flow freely,” says: “We didn’t intend to rehash old chill out vibes. On the contrary. It’s the 21st century and it seems like a good idea for people to sit back and chill the fuck out, before continuing to act destructively. To chill out is to act consciously, guided from a calm centre.” RA
