There's really not a lot to the song though; it's a bit characterless and fidgety like a lot of the songs the Orb were putting out when Andy Hughes was writing, tumbling through variations on a theme and restating samples mechanically without being particularly interesting to listen to.
I don't think it's Andy's influence. Remember, this is the album they didn't want to do; Island forced them. When the title is "U.F.Off" and the cover art is giving the finger, is it hard to believe that the obligatory "new" song for the "greatest hits" album might be a bit of a piss-take? I wouldn't be surprised if they dug something out of the trash, or just went into the studio and screwed around for a couple of hours. That said, I'd still like to hear the long version. (And I always assumed the "needs edit" referred to Kris Needs, rather than it actually needing an edit. Silly me; makes more sense now.) Chris np: System 7 - Seventh Wave
