Re: The Orb
yea - I know what you mean...

I've never been a huge fan of the band... yet, in my case - I still seem to have picked up a good portion of their albums

I don't know if their live shows are the same nowadays, I missed them on the Area1 tour - which I believe was the last time they played in the US -> but you definitely should grab either "Live '93" or their Peel Sessions disc... just to prepare you for what their interpretations of tracks could be. At least on those two aforementioned live albums (and a bootleg I've got) they seem to really add in a lot of extra reverb and dub delays, also a lot of samples from movies & tv shows

so yea - pick up Live 93, also their new album "Okie Dokie" is really good, and "Bicycles & Tricycles" wasn't too bad either - although there are different versions of that album...
