strange title, considering the earliest session was 1989, not 1991.

couple of rare things here, a few unreleased....i've heard everything on here except the mark radcliffe sessions from the orbus terrarum era, so that'd be interesting. well i've heard "montagne d'or" that was a mark radcliffe session which they've mysteriously missed out, and that was a cool version cos there was a live drummer and bassist, so i assume the others from that session have live drums and bass too.

however they've missed the peel session from 1997 that had orblivion tracks on it like secrets and delta mkii. but i have that anyway. and they've missed out "valley" from the 1995 peel session, but i have that toooo.

few points: firstly, the ever growing thingy peel session was released on the adventures remaster 3cd, so that's a waste of 20 mins. secondly, the 2001 stuff is dull. thirdly, the 1998 session is pretty good, it was done as a warm-up before a big show they did at the royal albert hall.

in conclusion, this will be pretty cool, and i'll chuck the rest of the orb's bbc sessions online after this is released.
