anybody who appreciates minnie ripperton should run out and get their hands
on a copy of The Orb's "A Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From
The Centre Of The Ultraworld."  the original 12" had that as its title, and
the a-side was called "loving you (orbital mix)" but lately they've been
using the huge long title as the name of the song.  In any case, it's a 20
minute ambient symphony with liberal samples from Ms Ripperton scattered
throughout.  The easiest way to get this song is to buy the excellent
"Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld" disc.  (it's a single disc in the US, but
a double in the UK.  although the track in question is identical on both
releases, there are other major differences between the two releases.)

anyway, that's my monthly plug for The Orb.  damn, they're good.
