Notes

Track 1-11 is also known as "Towers Of Dub (Ambient Mix)".

Designed at MadArk, London.

This is the 2CD version, limited to 15,000 copies. Disc One features only one previously unreleased track ('Mickey Mars'), the second disc has more rarities.

The finger on the sleeve belongs to Nick at Madark, but it's LX's ring.

    A nice start to anyone's Orb collection. As well as the 7" edits, contains some of their best remixes (Orbital Dance Mix, Ultrabass II, Soulcatcher's mix etc). The hidden Oxbow Lakes sounds like a beatless remix of Andy's Sparce mix from ORBscure Trax the year before.
