You say it... funny thing was that it was spinning even before I started
reading my daily dose of IDM posts... :*)

Sadly, I haven't had internet access then... Anyhow, it sounds like a perfect
description to me... (Uh wait, I have yet to hear Orbital's Green Album - what
is on it? Belfast? Chimes?)

Do that, guys... as long as they're not 16 kbps MP3s, you surely won't regret

P.S.: Anybody got *any* news about Spooky? I mean, we all want more of that,
don't we? Any web pages, stuff, anything? After all, they were hyped "a bit" on
MTv Europe when the CD came out... but as long as what's hyped is good, I won't
mind...
