Notes

Side A is "Earth Orbit" (31:10), side B is "Lunar Orbit" (27:51), side C is "Ultraworld Probe" (26:07), and side D is "Ultraworld" (27:07).
The individual tracks also all have their own headers on the cover and printed inner sleeves but not on labels, Earth Orbit One/Two/Three (A1, A2, A3), Lunar Orbit Four/Five (B1, B2), Ultraworld Probe Six/Seven/Eight (C1, C2, C3) and Ultraworld Nine/Ten (D1, D2).
Due to the limitations on trackpositioning, the tracks have been assigned as A1, A2 etc.

Black vinyl version comes with a removable sticker saying: "Special Classical Pressing" (quality pressing done at a plant that specializes in classical records).

There is also an extremely limited number pressed on brown vinyl, which was pressed at the beginning of the run in the UK. That edition has no classical pressing sticker and the vinyl labels omit the Wau! Mr. Modo credits.

    This Ambient dub album was groundbreaking and it still sounds fresh and new 15 years later. It's just a melting pot of ambient lushness and pure electronic bliss.
    Probably one of the best albums they produced and i'm sure influenced many an artist in the early 90's.
    I can't recommend it enough.
