Tim you are a jackass.  I've paid for every fucking Orb and KLF release from the start, including all the damn lil System 7 records, side projects, badorbs,  and equisite LX solo records... not to mention countless UF.OFF t-shirts as gifts for friends.  Its time I put my foot down.

I think the final straw(s) for me was a copy of B&T I never use and some junky silver Battersea Shield, purchased at the record store.

If you think I'm a thief for using soulseek, fine.. but I think you're an idiot for paying so much for a few plastic knicknacks that you still haven't gotten your grubby lil hands on yet.  I'd rather listen to the record now and decide if I wanna buy it, instead of rushing in, willie nilly.

I know the packaging is  probably has some collectability to it, but I'm not gonna cry over this release being sub-par.. because I spent nothing.  Hell, I even sent my 'stolen' copy out to a bunch of other 'loser' listees who take great pride in witholding earnings from their favorite group.

of a waste of time, but IIRC that's not even Orb stuff, just someone saying

(Who still says 2&3 is damn well worth it and still better than what most
NON-80s/90s-REVOLUTIONARY ARTISTS or even some that SHOULD give it up can
come up with.  I mean shit, Chemical Bros and Prodigy have new stuff?  And
Depeche Mode ("I've been DJing quite a bit so I like bigger beats now" - ML

serious?)
