Always glad to add data. "Little Fluffy Clouds" is the first track on the first Orb album, a hypnotic dance piece with a big fat lawsuit behind it. The dialogue was sampled without permission from the PBS television program "Reading Rainbow" and features LeVar Burton and Rickie Lee Jones talking about the colors of the desert sky at sunset. I still consider this song the ultimate ambient house music track recorded to date. It's relaxing, yet unbelievably catchy...yawn away, my dear Mr. Harrington, but I love it. -- mike metlay * atomic city * box 81175 pgh pa 15217-0675 * metlay@netcom.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Wow, now my hand's all sticky!
