Reviews & Discussion
Definately not The Orbs strongest release. The funny thing about this compilation (well the version I've got anyway) is that although most of the tracks are in mono one track on the first cd, Higher Than The Sun, is actualy in stereo. I dont know why that is. Personaly I prefer their original work to the remixes anyway.
My copy (purchased back in 96) was in stereo. At least that's what it sounded like.
This release essentially takes the brunt of the artist remix releases that had been turning up in the "bootleg" Orb releases which started surfacing back in '95. Additionally there is a great booklet with the collected output of the Orb complete with cover work and trainspotter details. This alone makes this release the strongest of the collections.
If you picked up things like the Morphology collection and some of the other quasi-legal Orb releases, this'll be sort of a let down. But if you missed or couldn't afford those and are looking for a good cross section of the Orb's earlier remix efforts, this is a treat.
As should be expected, some of this material hasn't exactly aged well, but as a representation of a time. This is a very potent capsule.
