Absolutely. Circa '93 would've been incredible (and I would have had it on
DAT =) ), and I daresay I would have enjoyed Orbital more in that setting
than I did when I saw them in LA in '92, which was more of a traditional
concert type event.
At least I got to trade my Circa '93 T-shirt to Paul Hartnoll for an
Orbital shirt...
ObIDM: There's this LP called Visit Venus on Yo Mama! records from Germany
that's the best jazzy ambient dub/space funk I've heard lately - check it
out.
Also worth checking is the 4 Hero remix of "I've Seen Rivers" by Courtney
Pine. Yes, mom - I finally found a jungle track I liked enough to buy.
