We've heard whale noises for four years now. It's time to move on.
Actually, does anyone notice that the more Steve Hillage has to do with any one track, the more boring it sounds? For this reason I am quite wary of guitars. I think they need to go back in a more electronic direction, like the Assassin single. Honestly, if they just release _something_ new I will be happy. -Harvey "Orb live sounds like Throbbing Gristle live circa 1981" ------------------------------------------------|------------------------------ "categories strain, crack, and sometimes break | Harvey D.
