WOW! what a bunch of recycled crap!! Sounds like it is from one of the chill out sessions. Very uncreative with the KLF chill out samples from “3 a.m. Somewhere Out Of Beaumont” This is what we have been waiting for a few years now?? What a let down. To me this whole album sucks ass. I mean he lost it a few years ago and the best thing that came out of the last album was the hybrid mix of “The Orb - From a distance (hybrid's meadow ladies mix)” I cant believe this crap was put out. Better days gone by, water flowing under the bridge should be their theme song IMHO.
I was under the impression that "mummie don't" came *before* 3AM - and while the first minute is pretty lame, I like it after that I agree that the second song ("sail") is complete and utter crap, but the rest of the songs I enjoy - especially "yungle" (intended for "cydonia"?), "chromatik", "steel horse", and "sun of" and the packaging is really wonderful - for those that aren't familiar with it, it's packaged in a reproduction of an "OCB" papers package (http://www.paradox.co.uk/images/smoking/skins/regular/ocb-p.jpg) with the CD itself in a sleeve that approximates a sheet of "foldy" filters - plus it comes with 4 prints, and a small brown envelope with four small badges and a *personalized* "thank-you" note really incredible and beautiful packaging! and while I'm on the subject of malicious damage's packaging, I have to mention their transit kings stuff as well - the medal that came with the "token EP" is an *actual* *medal*, and came in an envelope with a numbered "tranist reciept" that was again *personalized* (the "journey" being recorded from london to my city) I have to say that I am incredibly impressed with malicious damage: their releases and packaging are, to me, the epitome of commercial art at this time I cannot recommend these two releases highly enough
