I could never deny that hearing the first orb album (along with didgeridoo)
totally changed my tastes/perspectives in music, however the orbs new single
is IMO awful, i saw them on top of the pops and it sounded like someone else
doing a lame parody of the orb. The only thing in their favour was the fuck
off expensive gorgeous big waldorf synth they were using 'sigh'...
