I am not I_SW@zis.ziff.com (Sam Warren).  I didn't say:
>To the person who wrote in about Minnie Ripperton on The Orb album -

that's me.

you have:

Aubrey Mixes: The Ultraworld Excursions

whereas the correct album to buy is called

Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld

I don't know about you getting a disc with the wrong cover, but I guess
anything is possible.  The remix disc has some good stuff, but the version
of A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain is devoid of Minnie Ripperton
samples, I believe.  Incidentally, "aubrey" had nothing to do with the
remixes.  They were done by:

Little Fluffy Clouds -> Pal Joey
Back Side Of The Moon -> Steve Hillage
Spanish Castles In Space -> Youth (yeah, the same one who played bass on
                   "The Big Sky" - how's that for tenuous Kate content?)
Huge Ever Growing Brain -> Cauty/Paterson
Perpetual Dawn -> The Orb

I don't know why the damn thing is called The Aubrey Mixes.  Really.

>Have you seen the 20 minute version on CD?

Yeah.  On the "Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld" album.  It's actually more
like 18+ minutes, but who's counting...

>Does this group have any other albums?

Not really.  There's a "Peel Sessions" disc which has three tracks on it
(including "Brain"), but these are not new songs - just more remixes.

There's supposedly a new album called U.F.Orb coming out Real Soon Now.

I can't wait.
