To be fair, both _Orbus_Terrarum_ and _Orblivion_ consist of original material, so that's two, not one. Plus, Island *asked* for _UFOff_, so you can't really blame LX for that. Island is really getting into the greatest hits thing: they just signed a contract with U2 for *3* greatest hits albums. Gotta wonder about that. I imagine this conversation: Island: Here's $50 million, please let us compile tracks you've already recorded and made famous. Oh, yeah, and we want to make three packages out of it. Would that be OK with you? U2: Um, OK. To bring this to a complete circle, I reallyreallyreally hope that the Orb's remix of "Numb" ends up on one of the forthcoming CDs. -- Adam J Weitzman NewsEdge Corporation This space intentionally left http://www.newsedge.com blank.
