hmmm....
Then you could mix it together yourself. That's my
point. If the tracks were separate, I would be able to listen to them
separately AND mix them in any order I prefer. As it stands, I cannot
enjoy "Fast Forward The Future" without "Higher Than The Sun" coming in at
the end. What if I don't want to play "Higher Than the Sun" at the
end?
Us fans on the Orb list talk sometimes stir up a conversation about the
most "problematic" Orb release. I would have to say these Auntie Aubrey
albums are the flubs of the catalog. I am glad that they exist, I
just think they are Alex's biggest flubs. Mono mixes, all mixed
together...different versions from one release to the next....instead of a
"third" release so as not to confuse even a big fan like me - Even different
versions between the U.S. and U.K. versions....what a mess.
I'm not even a fan that most of the Ultraworld
Aubrey Mixes album is mixed together as well. Those tracks were, at the
time, unreleased Orb mixes, and I would rather have the album as separate
tracks. Orbscure Trax is most likely the best Orb compilation I can think
of...it was a promo AND not mixed together.
So...studio albums are one thing....but compilations shouldn't be
mixed. Give me the rare tracks, or let me save my money.
For what
it's worth, my two cents...
