Is this maybe the best 12" ever? This music sets you so afloat and drifting towards the heavens in your vessel that is Jah Wobble's Dub Bass, leaving you in zero-gravity with Steve Hillage's Space Guitar Of Beyond, whilst Dr. Paterson, our brain surgeon, and the rest of the stardust crew, desert percussionists included, navigates us so close to the Aliens, and back! that we are lucky if we escape with any sanity left to ponder. Seriously: When you hear that siren call; You got to. Go.

"Blue Room" is maybe the Orb track that captures the Orb most. Maybe their finest hour. Featuring bass by Jah Wobble (ex-Jonny Rotten's post-Sex Pistols band Public Image Ltd.), Steve Hillage & Miquette Giraudy (ex-Gong, now System 7).
I think the fourty minute CD version should have been split in two, to Part 1 and Part 2, as on the 12-inch.

"...Blue Room is more than just a song"

This is the full length version effectively cut into two halves. Soft strong, and very long - and apparently worth about twenty quid...
