U.F.Orb is an ambient house album by The Orb. It is arguably their finest album and follows in the tradition of studio trickery established by The Beatles' Revolver and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
The Rolling Stone Album Guide had this to say about the album:
"Its centerpiece is the mighty Blue Room, which circles a throbbing bass line for more than 17 minutes (the single version made that almost 40 minutes)."
