Are we talking about the same person? Jack's been pushing the boundaries as
long as I can remember. Of course, not all of it was great (Jazz? Ugh) but
saying he's a one trick pony just isn't accurate.

I've got to say that I've liked the past few MBM albums much more than the
past few Orb albums. The Badorb stuff was fun, for a while. Bikes and Trikes
was very hit or miss. The Dream is pretty much the same.

Come to think of it, the last Orb album I really enjoyed as a whole was
Cydonia (v1.0). The most recent track I really liked was "Land of Green
Ginger"...why? Because that's the Orb sound I liked when I joined this list
12 (!) years ago. Hasn't been much of that recently, and let's face it there
probably won't be much in the future.

I guess that's the nostalgia talking.
