Hi folks, Don't know if this has been posted already, but I thought I would forward it along. I haven't contacted David yet to see exactly what Orb track it is - could someone post what it is once they find out? It looks like a pretty decent CD comp, so it might be worth getting even if we've already heard the Orb track already. After all isn't LFC and Blue Room perfect examples of "Pop Ambient" already? ;) Cheers, Rob -----Original Message----- From: David Hodgson [mailto:playing.by.ear@mindspring.com] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 1:04 PM To: ambient@hyperreal.org Subject: (amb) VA: Pop Ambient 2003 now available from Playing By Ear... ______________________________________________ KOMPAKT (GERMANY): VA: Pop Ambient 2003 CD (KOMP 22).

When the days are getting shorter and it's getting darker sooner. And when the shops stay open longer. The windows are brightly decorated, like every year. Expectation. And everywhere, you can hear the pleasant shop Musak, soft and gentle as granite, for meat is neither vital, nor force. Stairs are moving up to heaven. It's raining, the sun is shining, it' snowing, softly. Hello, is there anybody out there who can hear us? In the matrix, pixels are pearling down your lotus skin. Leave the bones outside. Come in. Have a shot ready and relax for resitance. It' real. It's true. And absolutely gentle. We will kiss awake all the softly sleeping agents of sensuality. This year again under the Christmas tree: Pop Ambient 2003." VA: Pop Ambient 2003 LP (KOM 71).
