"Did you like the first one? Have you listened to their BBC radio shows? If you liked them then this shall aim to please. The orb has this way of making their music seem like you are doing more than just listing to songs. News anouncers from one side, while a small and somewhat familiar piano and guitar riff slowly comes in and out while the dub bass keeps on rolling and rolling then birds chirp and suddenly you're in a world of ambient silence, which mostly, is not silent at all. Continuing to create excellent covers in full orb style!!! orb delivers!!! You ever hear those remixes that sound almost like the original?? Well not this dual disc. Infull orb force, this is what the orb does best. Not a bad song on here. Get this. Feel the love. Dig the music kids. Good music does'nt last forever."

Good Ole Fashioned Orb Fun

"Not only does this sound like original Orb material, but it sounds more like vintage Orb material. Back to the days of Live 93 and UFO Orb, not like some of their more disappointing later releases (i.e. their last 2).
Back to loopy beats, groovey bass lines, Floydian sound non-sequitors, and full brain damaged chill room fun. As a rabid Orb fan, its nice to see them going back to this direction. It doesn't approach their pinnacle achievement of Orbus Terrarum but then again what else ever has? Keep churning the Aubrey's groove out guys, I'll gladly pay my hard earned for any follow ups you care to treat us to."

More Incredible Orb Remixes!

"This is a very worthy follow-up to Vol. 1 of the Orb remixes, which came out a few years ago. What's great about these remixes is that the songs basically become Orb songs, with only snippets and pieces of whatever original they're working with. So, basically you can look at this as a new 2-CD Orb release, even though many of the tracks on here are quite old. Typical great Orb beats, ambient washes, great sound and spoken word samples. A lot of these are pretty hard to find, so this is a great collection! The Meat Beat Manifesto remix of "Radio Babylon" alone is worth the price, plus there's remixes of artists as diverse as System 7, The Grid, Lisa Stansfield, Can, and many more! If you like the Orb, run to your nearest record store and pick this up!!"
