...in the realms of Ambient/IDM music? How is it possible that I had to learn about the BadOrb CD compilation "Bless You" by stumbling across it at the music store? I thought these lists were meant to keep me right on the bleeding edge of new releases within the genres? Anyway, it's out (released in the States on Shanachie as Shinbone Alley 4001, what the hell are they doing on Shanachie?) and if you have like the Orb in the past, you most likely enjoy this. Deep, brooding Orb-dub mixed with a bunch of new names to me. The double CD is worth the price of admission alone for the brilliant cover of Aqua's "Barbie Girl" by the Electric Chairs. The second CD is not as long as the first as they dumped their incredibly frustrating-to-navigate flash-disaster of a website (www.badorb.com) on there for you to peruse locally on you machine. FYI: Alex Patterson (or whoever is writing the liner notes) is beginning to sound like Roky Erickson. Mad as a March hare. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
