I thought it was quite enjoyable actually. Since 'ambient house' owes so much to Brian Eno I've always missed a band who were thinking and acting a bit like him, i.e. taking themselves seriously. I remember the first time I saw an interview with Dr Alex, I was very disappointed. I had expected an intellectual, philosophical person but he appeared like a stoned giggling idiot who just happened to have pushed the right buttons in the studio. The Orb are just in it for a laugh. They're just clowns trying to be a bit spectacular. Even though FSOL probably are quite tongue-in-cheek I like their image. - chris@minsk.docs.uu.se
