Has anyone heard of this and what it sounds >like and if it's worth picking up? Wasted is a compilation/selection of early Volumes. The Orb track Reefer Spin in the Galaxy is a remix of Supernova at The End of Supernova from Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld. This remix also appears on The Orb Anthology 2 bootleg (said to be a remix of an early Back Side of the Moon???) and given away on a free tape with UK magazine VOX long time ago. It's nice but to me not very special. Don't think this Orbtrack make it worth to buy the album for $44. But as you love the other acts included and of course the nice book, then you might. > >I also asked this a while ago but had no responce...so I'll try again... >Does anybody know how many copies of the "Blue Room" remix single that came >with u.f.orb were released?

I have Wasted and it's one of my favorite albums. It's put out by the people who do the Volume CD magazine, and it's a release of earlier stuff that happened to be faves. It has a nifty book, and it's turned me on to some stuff I wouldn't hear otherwise, being in America. The track is a remix of the beat laden portion of "Supernova" and runs just under 5.00. I didn't pay #44 for it, though -- it was only $21 here (about #15). If you have a chance to pick it up, do, because it's a very nice set. For the record, the Orb also are on the first volume of Volume's "Trance Europe Express", which has the Milliwall mix of "Majestic." Check out http://www.demon.co.uk/volume for the other stuff. Last time I checked they had the first Trance Europe Express bunged, but maybe they've fixed it by now. Windows 95 Sucks So does Nando Technics loves Dr. Pepper.

"Hanger 84" the new single from System 7. Released: 22 July 1996 on the Butterfly label catalogue nos: 12" - BFLT 38 CD single - BFLD 38 'Hanger 84 is where the remains of the infamous crashed UFO were secreted in New Mexico in 1947. It's also the latest single from Sytem 7's acclaimed Power of Seven album, offering up three sparkling new mixes of psychedelic techno for the dancefloor. Kicking off is Carl Cox's deep dark WW Ultimatum Mix, imbued with the techno-carnival feeling of his killer DJ sets. System 7 offer the uplifting, Detroit-tinged The Gods Must Be Crazy Mix and the powerful Live Mix, a trance classic recorded live at their legendary album launch party at The End. System 7 will be playing at the Pheonix Festival on July 19th and Womad on July 20th.' Tracklisting; Side One: Cox's W.W.

On my quest to find a double cd blue room (it's been over a year and a half, but I'll get one) I've seen some 'new' looking u.f.orb cds. There not a sold silver from the outside to the inside ring like the original, but instead like all other cds, that have that little dip in-between the recordable part, and the pastic ring in the center. They are also more of a semi-transparant green, instead of a very opaque cyan. They don't look as cool. Are these like a second series, or reprints or something?

It's from 1987, & to be honest I haven't really given it a chance but from what I heard it is HORRIBLE. Steve looks kinda funny on the cover tho. On somethng else, I just scanned in a pic I took at the Orb show in Tampa (may 95). You can vaguely see the Dr in it, lots of crowd tho, it looks a bit foggy.
