I haven't had much time to listen to it (on 2nd disc now) or do more than flip through the book. The packaging is awesome, the booklet lists all the mixes & has a discography, quotes, pix of records, & other stuff. All I have to say is that if you like Orb you obviously need this. By now, I'm only missing about 8 of the remixes on this. They should have left out KJ's democracy, but oh well, really good anyway!

This is a FANTASTIC album -- sort of like a dark Pink Floyd. In its basic form, the song runs over 19 minutes, so maybe we've got another "Blue Room"?

Hello Everybody...... Just thought I'd drop a line to tell you all about the Orb remix collection, I was in Dublin city (Ireland) the other day and I was in "Freakout records" (a fab place!) and I was looking for "Monster Magnet - Spine of God" on C.D, which I am finding very hard to come by, and the guy at the counter told me he had the Orb remix collection in stock, recently I bought the new Orb "peel sessions" and Orbital's new one "In sides", so I was looking for something different, but I bought it anyway and it's magic !!!! I thought it might be shit with Fucking Erasure, excuse my language but they make me sick and Yello - my god..... Well I was worried for a while but thank god they were unfounded, it's brilliant. On another note I have heard numerous people take the piss out of early Steve Hillage, have you ever listened to "Gong" check out "angels egg" it's one of the funniest, "out there" albums I have ever heard, and his own "Fish rising" is a classic in my collection. Anyway... if you got this far in my letter thanks for listening, and I would love to hear from any "Gong" or Steve Hillage fans, or even the man himself !!
