Maybe orbital thought of doing it then decided not too because they thought it was crap. Just a thought. No slight intended to the above artists. I just think that's a little bit presumptuous. The second thought is that something innovative is not always good. It does make interesting listening though....but may not necessarily hold up to repeated listens as well as something done really well that is not necessarily innovative. I say these things generally, not necesarily in reference to the artists you mention. Tony
