Fair enough, until you realise that for anyone even vaguely interested in
Orb there are a hundred outlets for their back catalogue. Until recently
Orb was the toast of record fairs across UK (I have no idea about US).
Releasing their best known tracks changed nothing for any interested DJ,
rather it sold to teeny-boppers and popsters, serving to degrade the
mystique of their other releases (I've seen the prices affected). If
Roy Badami <roy@harlequin.co.uk> is interested I can easily get him in
touch with a worthwhile dealer.

The Orb have admitted to having three albums waiting to release. One of them
was called Conspiracy and was to be released instead of Evil Bro, and the
details of the other albums escape me. Other than it marks a departure from
their spacier work, with earthy names like "mudmen on the brink". The third
album was the result of a collaboration. Well this is what I heard anyway,
further details pending.
Is there not an Orb/KLF forum? (search me)

April? Oh well. I got the track list from FSoL after quizzing them about their
radio show. It was a standard publication.
