The only one I have is the one with Halcyon+on+on, and the piece that loops
"even a stopped watch tells the right time twice a day". Pretty good. So
_In Sides_ is the one to get yeah ?

Nah, that's got to be the white noise envelope beat intro for FSOL's "Just a
Fuckin' Idiot" on ISDN.

Johnny Cash :^)


Like somebody else asked here, where should one start with William Orbit ?
There's something like four Strange Cargo releases to choose from.
