I can't believe it has been this long. I = generally avoid listening to anything until I have my own high quality = cut. I then sit alone with headphones on in the dark and try to immerse = myself in the experience with no distractions. I'm saving myself for = that moment though the temptation to fire up a stream right now is = pretty strong. The Orb has been so consistent and innovative year after year.=20 - Mark -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Davis [mailto:xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx]=20 Sent: Friday, October 14, 2016 4:52 PM To: Clint Anderson <xxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> Cc: Justin Rickles <xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx>; IDM <xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> Subject: Re: orby orbness orbing I agree Clint that this album seems to have never missed a beat from the = top of their game while pushing the art forward.
