Yes, I got a chance to listen to that disc as well. And yes, its' almost
appauling about the 'radio edit' being available.
I didn't like that music for the most part. But then again, I'm not too
hip to dub, becuase from what I've heard, most groups down't successfully
meld the bassline/music with the ambient effects that are 'dubbed' in.
I love the orb...and I think that of anything they are a dub group, but
with an edge, anyone agree or dissagree?
I dont' want to be flamed by that statement, becuase I honestly am not a
dub or orb 'authority', but that's just from my observation.
