Notes

Recorded at T.F.'s Ocean on the 5th Floor, Berlin
The Bunker, London and Trident 2, London

"S.A.L.T." features samples performed by Mike Leigh (3).

The total duration of "72" is 11:43. The "72" track is actually a six-second bit. It was named "72" because the gap pads the CD length out to 72 minutes. It is followed by a gap and a hidden track which runs for 6:31. The original name for this hidden track, which reportedly samples 'Moon Revolutions' by The Young Gods, was 'Eros'.

      Why are there so many copies of disc 2 only floating around?

        Saw the tour and it was deeply underwhelming, so I never bought the album. Maybe it’s good, but I doubt it.

          2-2 is not the same mix as "Bedouin (The Sheiks Film Mix)" (10:18) that appears on ORBscure Trax · The Rare Excursions.

              I have been revisiting and listening through the album many times this week as it becomes 25 years. I have to conclude that this is excellent, not a dud or dated track in sight, on average on par with U.F.Orb & Orbus Terrarum. So why is this album not talked about more today?: Probably because by '97 the popular demand of the Orb had ed its zenith. Filter House, Big Beat and Drum'n'Bass was what was in vogue then.
              A suggestion: Put 'Rose Tinted' (the exclusive track on Toxology) at the start of the playlist, it works well as an extended intro to Delta MK II
              A minor criticism: The secret track is a fun surprise on first time listening, but on repeated listening it gets annoying to FFWD every time

                  This has a unique master to the CD version, as some of the transitions heard on the CD were redone to sound better with the side breaks on vinyl.

                    I love this album so much. I could go on about my history with it but I can't be bothered. I will note that on further inspection track 10 "Secrets" features Tom Green of the rare ambient group Another fine Day. fascinating. I'd say that as an adult hearing this today, "Secrets" is the peak track and peak production from this record, alongside "Ubquity" which is also a masterpiece. This album definitely feels like kind of the last great Orb album, in a sense, at least for me.

                      One of the classic Orb albums and must haves. Start with their first 4 + last 4 albums and try to get their Back to Mine album too. Then slowly look at the ones in between,
