"Okie Dokie It's the Orb on Kompakt" is a 2005 album by The Orb released on Kompakt. It features new material in addition to tweaked versions of their previous Kompakt releases.cite-web|last=Kellman |first=Andy|title= Okie Dokie It's the Orb on Kompakt Review |publisher= Allmusic |url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:76bsa9lgr23s |accessdate=2006-10-10] The Orb's music on Kompakt featured Thomas Fehlmann as the primary creative figure, "inhibiting Alex Paterson's whimsical impulses". Because of this, the album was considerably more focused, even, and less "goofy" than "Cydonia" and "Bicycles & Tricycles".cite web|last=Beta |first=Andy |work=Miami New Times |date=2005-11-10 |title=Okie Dokie Its The Orb on Kompakt |url=http://www.miaminewtimes.com/Issues/2005-11-10/music/rotations4.html] 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".cite web|work=Pitchfork Media |last=Sherburne |first=Philip |date=2005-12-02 |title= Okie Dokie, It's the Orb on Kompakt Review |url=http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/20614/The_Orb_Okie_Dokie_Its_the_Orb_on_Kompakt] 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.cite web|work=365mag |last=Cybana |first=Ariel |date=2005-11-11 |url=http://www.365mag.com/index.php?pg=murw&recnum=2241&Title=The+Orb+%2F+Kompakt+on+365MAG+International+Music+Magazine |title=Okie Dokie Its The Orb on Kompakt] 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".
