I like Snivilization but I think it's their worst release IMO

I can't work out if it's the label or the title but "the Brown one"
Internal 1993 is brilliant as is the 91 release which might be Peel
Sessions or might be "Orbital CD" anyway, it's lime and orange and it's
on FFRR. It *might* be called FFRR. They didn't make it easy and I just
bought anything I didn't have. Essential is the latest -  "In sides"
also on Internal. Takes a *bit* of getting into, not quite as immedaiate
as their earlier stuff, but it's a bit of a masterpiece.

If only Hawkwind would sample the "sssssshhhhhHHHHHHH--- WWWATTTOW!¬!!
noise at the beginning of Moebius. One of the best "sound bytes" ever!

Watch that ORB theme though, you'll end up buying Roy Orbison if you're
not careful!
