That's for the fans... b) release the entire album in Xmas 99. That way, the large public will have the possibility to get all the tracks from the singles (minus the remixes) on one CD. I hope "Cydonia " wont be the real title of the next Orb album. It's not very clever... The Orb should release some tracks under a hidden name on a little label. Or remixes...
