Is the Orb >track available *anywhere*? Like on a promo? I remember seeing an incredible preview for this film awhile back that had Orb's song PI in it. I was quite excited. But when I saw the film, I was very dissapointed to find out, that the song was never played in the movie, or any Orb song for that matter. It's a trend I've been noticing on movie trailers, they will oftem play music that is not even in the movie. One big example. Moby's new single, the Jame Bond Theme, is used constantly in the Tomorrow Never Dies previews, but the song is never played once in the film. So a Alien Ressurection single with Orb on it, seems very unlikely.

Hello, I hope everybody had a great holiday season. I sure did! One of my friends gave me his Aubrey Mixes cd! Joy. But I have a few problems and was wondering if someone might be able to help. I would really appreciate it. First of all, my friend isn't nearly as anal as I am when it comes to the upkeep of cds. The top of the cd with the title and song listings is scratched up. It doesn't mess with the sound quality of the cd obviously, but it's just one of those things that bugs me. So I was thinking about doing a paint touch up on it. Does anyone have recommendations of a type of paint to use? Model paint? Or has anyone ever attempted this themselves? It's a white top....so maybe some White Out..lol Second, he gave me the cd without the case. So I was wondering, and I'm sure this is a weird request, but does anyone have an extra Aubrey Mixes case with jacket? Or maybe someone could make me a color photocopy of their jacket. Then I could just laminate it or something. I don't know....someone please help. I really hate just keeping this in an empty case. Happy New Year!

(pool mix) 8:55 Blue Room (ambient demo at mark angelos) 14:27 Orb vs Coldcut (kiss fm extract) Now, when I saw it, the track listing did NOT include the last track, "Orb vs. Coldcut." So I can't guarantee you'll get it (you can always buy the oobe book for that ;-) ). It's $25 + shipping (I make no money on the deal, I promise!) - not a great price, but pretty good music. Trades considered as well. Of course, this is all dependent on me getting out there and getting it - it may be gone by the time you reply. Anyway, let me know.

Wow! We've gotten to the point where people express their emotions, through HTML tags :) On a "totally" unrelated subject. I remember reading an article with Alex a long time ago, where he was talking about his earlier work as a record company guy, and he said that he was glad he never signed 808 State (or something like that). What would he mean by that? What's wrong with 808?

Print has visited the Ultraworld Hi Orbsters, I lent a mate of mine 'the orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld'. He pointed out to me that the first disc had Track 1 as 'Fluffy White Clouds', while the booklet read the usual 'Little Fluffy Clouds'......? What's the story? Does this only occur on my copy or has it been discussed long ago? Also, I saw the album in a Music store with the sticker claiming it was the full un-edited version (110 minutes, I think). My copy doesn't have the sticker and it is over 112 minutes long......? Any comments?
