I can't find the link to a track listing for the Music for Listeners 5 hour thing. Totally enjoyable and good enough quality for my earphones.

That's the same as on the Japanses version: see http://www.discogs.com/release/1076760 So it appears that only the bonus track isn't on the European version...

The Dream - Independant on Sunday review
by theorbscureddj 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

morning all... i'm not usually one for the sunday papers but as the independent were giving away two cd's of stiff record compilations yesterday and today i was surprised to find a review for the dream written by laurence phelan... "there was a time, long ago, when the orb were kind of big in british electronic music, so it is pleasing to learn that, after a long string of line-up changes and duff albums, they are back, comprising core members alex paterson and youth. the dream references and is of a kind with their heyday output, but sounds comparatively distinctive and fresh. A collage of spoken-word and found-sound samples arranged around a spine of ambient house and dub, it is rich in texture and varied in mood. they may never be cool again, but they are far from an embarrassment." cheers... + ++ theORBscureDDJ ++ + ++ http://www.theorbscureddj.blueyonder.co.uk ++

Hi Chris, >From what I understood, the company responsible for the distribution of Trojan changed by the end of 2007. I've tried to order it 4 times before I got a hit: www.play.com had it in stock. This is what a seller wrote me: "I have just gone to reorder the item but have encountered a problem. Trojan up until now have been distributed by Pinnacle in the Uk. Trojan are part of the Sanctuary group which have recently been bought out by Universal music. These item will become available again to order in March."

It's a Small World sample - Orbsessions Vol 2
by bla blazo 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Well, it took a while but I finally found where the horn used on It's a Small World came from...it was driving me crazy because I knew I had heard it before. The horn comes from a Scientist track called Dub 16. It appears on the Blood and Fire release Dub in the Roots Tradition. -matt _________________________________________________________________ Connect and share in new ways with Windows Live. http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_Wave2_sharelife_012008
