Well, I knew most tracks before and I must it's not too good. It's not even mixed!!! (or you can call it blend mix) Most tracks are very ambient (something like Pop Ambient 2003) and very well known before (unlike DAP's Voyage into Paradise)... Orb track is nice, however too short and too Fehlmannish... Really disappointing album...

I have to agree (i dont but this time i do). Having been given the chance to put together a cd of your top choice toonz would you seriously want to play these to ppl who had come back to yours? Naaaaaah! If i churned this little lot out on a friday night saturday morning i reckon i would rightly have the plug pulled. I think its more about records that build the picture you want to promote of yourself. (see the New order BTM) On this occassion a wasted oppertunity to hear the music that inspired the man behind the mask :( shame... Not sure what ex-orbers would have choosen... maybe worth asking(?) bill __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I agree.. I was disappointed. Although I liked the smiths remix (i dont care for the original at all) and the new orb track, the rest of the CD was a disappointment. especially considering the other stuff alex has played in mixes beforehand. atleast it wasnt as bad as orbitals back to mine.. --- Joe Topjian email: joe@portsys.net web: http://terrarum.net/joe

haven't heard the BTM comp yet, but LX's interview in the Metro (free London ad rag (i.e. newspaper)) certainly gave me the impression he was going to spend this year doing more promotion than has been seen from the orb recently. A high profile mix CD (even if unmixed) gets the name back in the limelight, just before a new album comes out. One interesting point in the interview (online somewhere) was that he said they made a mistake with badorb.com by releasing non-orb material first ... as it didn't sell as well as orb stuff would have done. I'm not sure about this - given the low profile of the label and the site, and the fact that many of the "hardcore" (i.e. this list, and various record shops i know) bought them anyway, I don't know that they'd have shifted many more even if they'd launched with new orb material. But what do i know.

something like weatherall's "9 o'clock drop" you mean? not my cup of tea really, but it does meet the spec ... early tunes that inspired him. jonandonandon... -- "Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein

Julee Cruise 'Falling' Falling into the chill out lounges of the late 80's we find 'Twin Peaks'! I luv Twin Peaks. Most people I know loved to fall into this song. Did u? <end> I find it hard to think of this as inspirational? along with much of the Cd i keep thinking why? Oh why? Oh why? ;( bill __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
