Minnie Ripperton's "Loving You" is sampled on the original version of "A
Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The
Ultraworld".  I don't remember if she appears on the album mix (ADVENTURES
BEYOND THE ULTRAWORLD is the album title; Mercury 314 511 034-2 in the US
but get the UK double-disc version if you can, it has about forty minutes
more music).  I *think* she's in the Peel Sessions mix (US CD: Dutch East
India DE 18119-2), which also has some nice Pink Floyd samples.

The original 20-minute mix turns up on a UK CD-single (Big Life BLR 27 OCD)
but I've never been able to find the CD -- if anyone in the UK can help,
I'd appreciate it.  I have the 12" instead.

Their new release, U.F.ORB, is due out in the UK Any Minute Now.
