The Orb – Orboretum (The Orb Collection)

Unfortunately you don't get all the tracks if you buy the CD or digital versions.

On a completely different note I'd be interested how people are storing this within their collections; due to the unique mature of the packaging. I'm currently afraid to open mine lol.

Great looking edition, absolutely flawless pressing and impressive care in the packing, at least mine they all came perfectly clean, almost a miracle considering the amount of cardboard cuts. In that regard, I fully understand and reducing the use of plastic, cardboard or both combined in everyday items BUT, since records are (well, mostly) highly estimated collectables (I own hundreds of more than 100 y.o. shellacs) I expected a thicker, glossier cardboard and laminated inner sleeves as we all know vinyl should be stored. A millimeter bigger sleeves would' made the task of slide the vinyl off them easier, I imagine all these packaging issues have to do with weight/international sales.
Nothing to complain about the selection of tracks, it covers more than 30 years, it's impossible to please everyone, well done Alex, still waiting a visit to Argentina ; ).
P.S.: The colour of the vinyl is close to the images in the limited edition page https://discogs.versitio.com/release/32272776-The-Orb-Orboretum-The-Orb-Collection and not to the hype image that appears when googleing it, more washed/light colours.

i will soon get mine and review properly, but for now I am disappointed about Asylum being the one from U.F. Off. Outlands segue into Asylum there and it is that version, they should have bothered to include the original edit.

Looks gorgeous, haven't opened my copy yet - but a bit sad that they didn't use the softer, more relaxed "out there" version, Appletree In My Back Yard (Abakus Remix) 7:02 that was featured on Tsunami Benefit. But this will be a sure treat for the platters either way! The ever expanding pulsating brain is still loving us!

Gorgeous, absolutely essential The Orb compilation! The overall presentation with its beautifully designed packaging is a stunner too. My personal highlight is the previously unreleased on vinyl, highly captivating 98.7 Kiss FM mix of “2Daze In Dub”.

The only slight disappointment with this, I must say again, otherwise spectacular release is that they included the Ambient Mix 1 of "Little Fluffy Clouds" instead of the much more convincing David Mancuso - The Loft favorite. Still HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, very well sounding 4-vinyl collector's set! 😊👍👍.
