Domestic release has different track listing...

"Just a quick note to let you know that this volume 1 re-release in the states of the Orb's Auntie Aubrey remixes has some tracks the out of print 1996 UK import on Deviant records doesn't, and vice versa. Succinctly, the out of print version has Depeche Mode's "Happiest Girl," Primal Scream's "Higher Than the Sun," and Erasure's "Ship of Fools." This version has "Lily Was Here" by Stewart and "Movin'" by Marathon, which the UK version does not. Hope this helps. As for some comments in the way of a review, obviously if you know the Orb you know that the remixes Patterson does waver between loving treatment and outright obliteration of the original. You will be getting in the end an entirely new track, which in ways does wonders for both artists, the one remixing and the one being remixed. The Orb combines the right amount of quirk and majesty for a great, rich, entertaining listen."

"If you like the Orb's more spaced out stuff, you'll like this. It's very ambient and chill. Its great to relax to, or if you're in deep listening mode you'll appreciate the interweaving layers of complexity that "appear" simple. The beautiful mix of Satellite Serenade by Keiichi Suzuki is by itself enough reason to buy the CD. This is a complex and rather experimental CD however- don't expect catchy dance tunes."
Time for a cup of tea with Aunty Aubrey

"This is a collection of the Orb's Best remixes. I recommend the 2001 release which includes Dave Stewart's "Lily was Here". The remix is an Orb classic. Here is the best of the Orb remix projects. Long, indulgent remixes of popular early 1990's songs, this album represents the best of the Orb's remix work. Disc 1 is the highlight. Material, Keichi Suzuki, and Killing Joke sound like they were made to be played together. An impeccable Orb mix."
