Tonight, I'm really really sad...My first contact with Andy AFAIR was after a very short gig in Zeebruge, Belgium in July 1996. He replied to me by email to apologize for the problems during the concert and he hinted at that time that The Orb had done a Cranberries "Zombie" remix. He also offered me tickets to a future show. I wasn't sure at that time if it was the real Andy Hughes or not, but when I arrived to the concert booth near Los Angeles in August 1996, the tickets WERE THERE !I couldn't believe it at first.And then, thanks to Smiley, I really met Andy twice in London : during the Cydonia sessions in the studio and at the Royal Albert Hall concert.I also saw Andy two times more : in Paris, for the 1997 concert at La Cigale. I had the opportunity to go backstage with him and my wife. He was very kind. And I also saw in Japan after a concert in Mount Fuji. The weather was horrible but the performance was great.I don't think I saw The Orb live when Kris was on stage, but for me the Andy concerts were the best. They were always different with subtle changes.I really became an Orb addict at that time. I loved the time when almost every week, there was a new Orb remix for other artists (circa 96-97).I even wrote a comic book with a character named Andy Hughes :)I hope that, wherever you are, you are free. See you in Space,JC
