This time also worked using MP3DirectCut. Thanks!

This is a brilliant masterpiece of beautiful, hypnotic, ambient bliss. Bravo! I think this release just blew away the past 3 Orb albums. The transition from "Showlder" to "Wedge" is almost too much. IMHO "Wedge" is definitely the winner here, although "Peach Tree" is a close second. The soundscapes are fantastic. Awesome mixing on this release! "Big Sister" definitely my fav of the three. This release and the recent Radio broadcast have been wonderful. Many thanks to Underworld. Absolutely superb.

I totally agree with this sentiment - the first track is simply what u/w do best ie conjour up a soundscape which expresses a feeling of utter terror within a landscape of sublime beauty (I once felt that, for real, while walking along a footpath in order to visit a ruined abbey near Shrewsbury, UK, and that track sums up that emtion perfectly). The closing spoken piece "I'm a big sister...these are the rails, and these are the weeds, that live in the cracks, at the back of the world" are just so beautiful and profound, spoken by a Mike Skinner-ish guy with a hint of sadness/regret in his voice, it almost brings me to tears.

Thank you Rick and Karl, yet again, for some truly superlative music xx
