Heh heh, the Once More version they played in SF..."it does make you want to dance, doesn't it?" (EBN video sample IIRC).... Lard - oh god yes. Even the vocals - done in a nice Orb-y way. T

About time! Somebody has to mention Cydonia. I have listened to that album again and again. A definite new direction for LX & co., but I think they pulled it off well. I think A Mile Long Lump of Lard & Terminus are pure genius, plus E.D.M. and Egnable are very enjoyable. I can see why the vocal tracks put some orbsters at odds, because the vocals bring the attention to the surface, away from the area most orbies emerge themselves fully in the deep end. The final version is definitely the most polished and has the best flow. Plus I thought they pulled it off live rather well (albeit I saw them do it 15 times hehehe). And yes, Once More makes me want to dance, especially in the long versions. Gavin
I actually still prefer Cydonia more (and, probably shocking to some, I consider Orblivion and 2&3 to be about equal really)
