So UFOff but with a second CD of tracks that even long-term Orb fans like myself struggle to listen to  ('cept the Fehlmann ones)

From that preview it doesn't sound like any of the tracks have been re-mastered to hide the fact they've just been drag-and-dropped from Alex's music folder either (most noticeable during the transition from Aftermath with crazy lots of top end -> Little Fluffy Clouds sounding like a muffled pillow in comparison!)

Eh....give me an Orbus Terrarum repress already!!

i feel like if i bought this i’d have to completely change my lifestyle. persian rugs, robes, a manbun. 

 

 

…thinking it over

[BUNKUM]

I cannot get over the artwork, it's like a car crash I can't look away from

[NewSchoolScience]

I remember when The Orb were good.

Psydub album cover, ludicrous price tag on the vinyl version, a scattering of new mixes amidst stuff that's been released numerous times - even Alex admits it's less than a decade since their last best of in the press release - and the presence of material from some of their worst albums. Not gonna bother.
