Very excited to get my copy. I ordered a disc, should be arriving sometime next week. I've avoided streaming anything. I am one of the biggest and most loyal Orb fans on this planet and have faithfully bought pretty much everything put out by ALX and friends over the years, beginning in the mid 90s. I can't believe it has been this long. I generally avoid listening to anything until I have my own high quality cut. I then sit alone with headphones on in the dark and try to immerse myself in the experience with no distractions. I'm saving myself for that moment though the temptation to fire up a stream right now is pretty strong.
The Orb has been so consistent and innovative year after year.

I agree Clint that this album seems to have never missed a beat from the top of their game while pushing the art forward.
I imagine myself eyes closed eating dried pineapples on a bean bag chair in a chillout room at a 1992 MW-RAVES event as i listen to this.
thanks,
