Pomme Fritz

Pomme Fritz is a 1994 EP by The Orb. It was The Orb's first studio production released on Island Records. Pomme Fritz is a chaotic EP which Rolling Stone described as an "aural feast" despite its "lack of cohesion" and direction.^[1] Though Pomme Fritz reached as high as #6 on the UK charts, UK critics panned it as "doodling" and noted its absence of focus.^[2] Even Island Records "hated it" and "didn't understand it at all", according to Paterson.^[3] Kris Weston's role was much diminished on Pomme Fritz and is credited only as an engineer.^[4] Though Pomme Fritz was released as a piece of original work, it consists largely of manipulated samples.
