UNFORTUNATELY, *I* HAVE heard that abysmal song, "Loving You," in its relentless entirety.... I'm not exactly sure WHEN the song was released, but it SOUNDS like one of those God-awful sappy, vapid tunes from the 70s--the type that makes the Rhino Record's "Have a Nice Day" series, you know? The ONLY comfort I can get from hearing that, is to know that on South Park, the song lead to the rather explosive death of one team mascot... heh, heh.... DAMMIT! Now I've got that friggin' song going through my head...I'm gonna go...MAAAAAD! Oh well. Later!

Is it worth getting? Does it even sound Orb-ish? If >so, what era of Orb does it bear the most resemblance to? It's definitely worth getting!! Take Pomme Fritz add Orbus Terraneum (minus the beats), stir well and then sprinkle some Fripp over the top and you'll have a nearly beatless (only 1 track has beats and there tablas) mix of pure bliss. This is the Orb at their most ambient and it's nearly perfect. It just so happens i have a spare copy up for trade, too!! :) Anybody interested in it email me for my want-list, thanks.

Same here, actually. There are a lot of things the Orb have used that I've never heard in their original versions.

FYI, the Minnie Ripperton track is currently being used by Birger King here in the states. Also, I forgot who it was, but someone had done a cover about four years ago and was getting quite a bit of airplay on the "urban" radio stations (WGCI here in Chicago).
