This remix album is quite enjoyable. I particularly love the Falconer remix. Track 6 has a strong resemblance to System 7, making me wonder if "Panda Steve" and "Panda Miquette" might've teamed up with The Lost Stoned Pandas?
In 2021, I found myself coming back to this album more than any other. I picked it up around the same time as the first version, but this one really resonated with me, especially during bike rides when my MP3 player shuffled the tracks. It turned out that my two favorite songs ended up being the last ones I heard -- "Slave til You Die" and "Weekend" (which is hands-down my top groove of the year -- pure blissful ORB vibes!).
I'm really pleased that after they sent me the black vinyl version, they right away sent a replacement with a tracking number. My copy is perfect. The color of these records matches the artwork beautifully. Some remixes are just okay, while others are fantastic.
I agree with what Flambient said, but if I was forced to pick just one song, track 8 would be my top choice. The variety in this album is really great; I'm a big fan of variety. I honestly can't think of anything I'd want to change about this album.
For two whole years, I was on the fence about getting this "just another remix album" to add to my The Orb collection. But boy, am I happy I finally did! The blue see-through vinyl is absolutely stunning, almost like it's got some kind of magic to it. Sure, you might read all sorts of things about the remixes, but I'm telling you, I love them even more than the original album! I really hope they release those dub mixes that came with the deluxe edition on vinyl someday too. I just can't get enough of The Orb. And that's been the case since I was just 16, which, believe it or not, is 29 years ago now!
