I received "Strange Cargo" this week, which is out on reprint and was dramatically surprised. I haven't had much of a taste for Orbit's stuff. Bassomatic was cool, but not all around fabulous, and Guerilla has more misses than hits for me. BUT THIS!! "Strange Cargo" has instrumentation of Stewart Copelandian proportions. Recorded in 1987, it seems to be free of all dance cliches and instead just rips the walls down with sound. Has anyone purchases "Water From a Vine Leaf" or whatever his last single was? Is there anything else along the "Strange Cargo" lines?
