My copy has a small sticker printed affixed to the jewel case front covering up "unicorn", printed with "keena maareme".

I have to say the gem of this little EP for me is track 9... L.A. musician/artist Teebs takes the Clock Catcher harp arrangement in track 1, chops it, throws it into a cuisinart and shakes a lazy bump-n-click into it... turning it into magic sauce. For the other tracks, some interesting tidbits and alternate versions, but track 9 alone makes chasing down the graphics with your webcam VERY worth it.

A nice retro track, but VERY derivative (and almost a straight rip-off) of Vangelis' "Pulstar".

Not as obvious as the actual Hipnosis cover released around the same time, but still...

Wow. Where in the hell did this come from? Three tracks in on first listen and I had already given it a "5" rating. A little bit of Proem, a little bit of Arovane, a little bit of CHEjU, and a whole lot of his own unique thing. An unknown gem definitely worth tracking down.

This is not the warm, fuzzy, uplifting Interchill you think you know. THIS release is all about the DOWNlift.

This is music to accompany the rush of adrenaline as you wait around a dark corner, about to beat someone's ass.
Music to have in the background while you tell extravagant lies.
Music that doesn't encourage a pleasant trip while under the influence of psychedelics.
Definitely NOT music to spin up for a sunrise party, unless you're spinning in a dungeon with vampires.

This is music to kill robots to.

After almost 2 years of existence, and with 5 brilliant releases (not including two forthcoming at the time of this post), I think it's safe to say that Sending Orbs is the new Merck, the new Clear, the new GPR... the newest standard label for lovers of IDM and "intelligent techno".
All five SO releases have so far been gloriously top-notch, evoking emotion and praise usually reserved for decade-old classics.
All five also feature beautiful artwork that is representative of each CD's character and mood.

This is an amazing start for ANY label... I am confident that Sending Orbs will be receiving ongoing praise for many years to come.

Oh.... it's supposed to be played at 45rpm?
Well, add another embarrassed fool that was playing it at 33. It's still an amazing track, but it seems to lose a bit of its grandeur once you speed it up. Also, the middle driving section where everything is kicking is even shorter now... For me at least, after that lovely build, the rest could continue on for at least 5 more minutes.

Although some have noted that track 8 samples Negativland's "Michael Jackson" from their classic "Escape From Noise", the sample source is actually the same for both songs: an obscure record featuring the infamous cult Church Universal & Triumphant (now also known as "The Summit Lighthouse").
On the record (found here http://www.discogs.com/artist/Church+Universal+And+Triumphant%2C+Inc.+Featuring+Elizabeth+Clare+Prophet?noanv=1), their leader Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and other church leaders, lead worshippers through rapidly repeated prayers ("decrees") that the entire church says in unison - something along the lines of having a large room full of auction callers rapidly reciting the same passage.
The "Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, etc" portion of the recitation is a condemnation of rock-n-roll read by a church leader, and is the only one of the "decrees" that is actually understandable.
Ultimately, a brilliant use of this sample - arguably better than Negativland's use of it.

Fantastic deep, dark ambient... alternately evocative of Steve Roach, Lustmord and Kim Cascone.
