Last year, the Orb celebrated their 25th anniversary with the compilation History of the Future - The Island Years. Even though the milestone has now past, the electronic act will continue to revisit their history, this time with a new box set called History of the Future Part 2.
The set is due out on February 16 through Malicious Damage Records. It contains four discs, with each named after both an element and a compass direction; the CDs are respectively titled North Side/Fire, West Side/Earth and South Side/Water, and there's additionally a DVD called East Side/Wind.
The tracklist includes some cuts that were previously only available on vinyl, and there's also some unseen visual footage. That's the cover art above and the tracklist below.
Meanwhile, the Orb have a new album on the way next summer for Kompakt. It will feature core member Alex Paterson plus collaborator Thomas Fehlmann. Release details are still forthcoming.
