Okie Dokie It's the Orb on Kompakt is the seventh overall studio album by The Orb released on Kompakt. It features new material in addition to tweaked versions of their previous Kompakt releases.^[1]

Miss Kittin performed "Traumvogel" live at the Sónar festival and included it on her album Live at Sónar.^[2]

Critcal reception

The Orb's music on Kompakt featured Thomas Fehlmann as the primary creative figure, "inhibiting Alex Paterson's whimsical impulses".^[1] Because of this, the album was considerably more focused, even, and less "goofy" than Cydonia and Bicycles & Tricycles.^[1][3] Fehlmann's trademark hypnotic loops and delays made him the center of Okie Dokie production and, according to Pitchfork Media, made it "difficult to say where [Paterson] is in the picture".^[4] Besides Paterson and Fehlmann, Okie Dokie featured Ulf Lohmann as a co-writer on a track as well as Schneider TM performing vocals for another.^[5] The Orb's releases with Kompakt gained The Orb back much of their musical credibility with the press and showed that The Orb could "age gracefully".^[3][5]
