Yeah, moving on is important. 10 albums of LFC-era stuff wouldn’t be my cup of tea…Although I could probably easily tolerate 10 albums of blue room/ assassin era (but I think that is just me).

 

How about the later highlights? I can listen to Green Ginger any time—and Cool Harbour can keep popping up once in a while, too.

 

OkDok is a little hard to sit all the way through (maybe)—but mix it will Orbvs Terrarvm tracks and you have a pretty beautiful iPod-aided subway ride into Toronto (from way out west where I live)…especially if Andy’s Plateau dub is in the mix….

"old" magic - what I like is there is an essential Orbness to virtually everything (I personally have a hard time finding it OkDoK) ... I prefer explorations in various directions, keeps things interesting - even 2&3 has a lot of neat stuff on it really.  10 albums of LFC-era sound/style would just be a yawn...like if Rush had stuck with Moving Pictures for the rest of their career....

Actually I love live 93 and pomme fritz.

 

But what albums are the new albums compared to—if any. I think it is those four.

 

Putting it another way, I guess, do we want something new from the new albums, or do we want the “old” magic?
