Hey thanks!
I love oxbow lakes. Also the video is hilarious! Bring on the jumping psychedelic cows! ;-) This brings me to the topic i once raised on this mail list. I think the best Orb stuff is the ones where they were fiddling with the percussion and not standard 4/4 beat stuff. Who's with me!

I came across an article credited to Mark Prendergast where Alex took credit for the piano in an interview. Here is the link to Sound On Sound magazine where it came from:

"Kris, as a writer, is all over the record, along with myself and Thomas Fehlmann. 'Valley' is the three of us with Tom Green and Simon Phillips. 'Plateau' is the three of us. 'Oxbow Lakes' is the three of us again, but the piano is mine. I was quite pleased with that.

Hey guys, maybe somebody knows this..
In the inlay from the new Orbus CD's it is mentioned by Kris Needs that LX claimed that the piano of oxbow lakes is played by himself. Allthough i would like to think this is true, i can recall i heard a song once (long ago) which it was believed the piano samples were taken from. But i cannot be sure. Is there someone who can shed some light on this?
