So I ordered this cd called "The Orb - Ultra Rare Trax" from cdzone.co.uk It took about 2 months to arrive (im in the us) but it finally did and I am a bit perplexed. This cd appears to be some sort of a bootleg but it appears in the cddb.com so I guess it's legit to an extent. It's really the packaging that gets me. Anyone have more info on this release? -- -=o00SHIMONE00o=- http://www.staticbeats.com 7 day webcast - 10am - 12Midnight (PST) Real Audio - DJ Justes Archives Personal Database - Electronic Music Collection --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

It's a promo CD that was given out to press and radio along with the Orb's last studio album. It's legit, but it never actually got a commercial release.

actually, you're thinking of _orbscure trax_. ultra rare trax, like every cd for any band in the ultra rare trax series, is 100% bootleg. and the orb one is one of the few with decent sound quality - the rest are pretty much inaudible. * #### a disturbance in a system. #### laerm. @voicenet.com ##:# icq 5562209 the city is a whore tonight --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Sorry, Aaron, not true...I've had a copy of it for over three, maybe four years, bought in a store. :) laz
