i still find that _u.f.orb_ has the most fond memory associated with it, but _orblivion_ is the most cohesive and _orbus terrarum_ is the most "forward". i'm still waiting for something truly "new", though...

heh. this i heard after _microphonies_, some of the early stuff, and the conversation/latter stuff. i put the record on and i laughed for at least 5 minutes at the pop pap. then i put it away and listened to the remixes ep which was marginally better. i forgot about it until a 6 or 7 months later and i listened to it and then quite liked it. slick and mellow. * #### a disturbance in a system. #### laerm. @voicenet.com #### ambition can make you look pretty ugly.
