i'm sorry but i really think Alex needs the supporting cast. this album is stripped down and very simplistic sounding compared to orbus terrarum, orblivion, and even cydonia. A few of the tracks are ok--from a distance is so out of place it's not funny. Remember when listening to orb albums were like taking a journey? The tracks do not flow--and the track everyone thinks of as the best, tower 23, pales in comparison to other dubby tracks such as slug dub or towers of dub. I now realize that it is true that the orb are much better as a "band" especially with thrash's creative input. ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

towers of dub. I now realize that it is true that the orb are much better as a "band" especially with thrash's creative input.
actually, all the albums you mentioned in your email were with andy hughes. ;-) im still digesting it myself but i'd have to say that the biggest disappointment for me in this recording is the complete lack of mixing between tracks. it just feels like 12 tracks all put together. i too remember the good ole days when an orb album was going to take you on a journey. the final released version of cydonia signled the end of that it seems and this album just takes it further away from that ideal. oh well, times change and people do to. if this is where alex is then thats cool. but i doubt that this will find a steady place in my orb listening rotation. or maybe it will grow on me. hopefully. but so far the only real highlights for me are green ginger and hell's kitchen. and thenim stuck with 9 more tracks. tweez __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
