Toxygene *is* the Orb's version of pumped-in fast-food music.

We don't need Taco Bell, we've got Radio 1... ;-)

Anyway, the whole point of Taco Bell is that it's a restaurant owned by
'Southern Bell', the telephone company, hence the huge Bell logo, and the
whole point of 'Southern Bell' is that it's based in Southern USA, and is
only really applicable to Southern Americans.

I think when you find yourself eating at the corporate equivalent of the
local telephone company canteen, listening to Toxygene and Jesus Jones,
time to find a better restaurant.
