Gavin's ROIO discography says that the disc with the dinosaur on it is the second pressing and the second to last track is three minutes shorter than on the first pressing, which just says morphology on the disc.

LX in boston dj set review [kinda long and meandering]
by gliddenm＠nettaxi.com 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

well, i've been too lazy to write up my experience at the LX dj show (feb 1, 02) in boston..i hadn't seen anyone else write anything about it either (not surprising, since the crowd was like 60 people, max...) anyway, i was extremely impressed with his set, i'd only seen him dj one or two times before, but this was by far his most technically adept that i've seen (funny some of the LA or SF people said he sucked technically..heh, maybe he wasn't very high at this show). so to start with, the doors opened at 6 at axis, which is pretty lame because they wanted to get us outta there before their normal "club night" which starts at 10pm and goes till 2am. at about 6:10 we got there and there were about 4 others there, we proceeded to sit on dirty steps for 70 minutes or so before LX strolled in and walked past the bar, etc..thankfully he saved us from the god-awful generic house they'd been playing off a cd somewhere, and threw on a cd with some really spacey ambient shit..cool stuff (he also mixed with similar stuff throughout the night, some of the transitions he'd start up the supa ambient stuff before switching over records, which may sound like a way of copping out of good mixing, but it went over quite well). so LX talked with 3 women at the bar and then disappeared backstage for 10 or 15 minutes, came back to the stage armed with a can of guiness and set about blowing us away.. as others have said, and if you've seen him before, he plays every genre of music..such a nice change from the "2 hours of bumpin' hardhouse/trance/etc with no segues and no tempo changes" that is all too common in my club-going experiences these days. i wish i wrote this sooner, because i'd have more details..as others have mentioned, he played a few badorb tracks, but only 3 or so i'd guess. he appeared to be in a very good mood, even though for the majority of the show, there were only 30-40 people (more people trickled in near the end, i assume they were there for the "regular" club night). at one point, he disappeared backstage while a song was playing and came back out with 3 cans of guiness for the extremely rowdy and into-the-music mexican guys standing in front of the stage (the dancefloor was otherwise pretty barren for most of the evening). they followed up by having various scantily-clad bar-maids bring drinks to him.. at one point he threw on some 80's softrock/synthpop sorta thing, i forget what the name was, but he proudly displayed the record cover while he danced around and sang the lyrics (i don't think it was the remix of whatever others on the list are talking about, it sounded like a straight-up original)..very funny and enjoyable, and took some by surprise..either right before that, or after it, he played a track i'd be willing to bet is some new orb goodness..if not, i'd like to know what it is..had some orb-esque dubby bass stuf going on and some other slight electronic wankery we've come to expect from the orb.. so yes, as i said, i was amazed by the technical skills..he'd mix stuff together that sounded great, and also he was constantly putting stuff on and then barely switching it back and forth for a noisy beat or whatnot, i didn't exactly expect this sorta stuff from him, but it was much appreciated. he also played the missy elliot feat. nelly furtado "get ur freak on" remix, which he seemed to enjoy quite a lot..which kinda raised a few eyebrows in the audience, but was funny in an ironic sorta way (although given the respect i see electronic producers and everyone give that song, i don't think he meant it very ironically). as i said, he went on around 7:30 and played till a few minutes after 10, so it was quite a long set.. i wish that his sets were more crowded, as i'm not sure places will rush to book him again if no one comes to the shows (although to be fair, the weather that evening was pretty crappy, and also how many people want to go see a dj at 6pm?) ahh well..i was more than pleased by this excellent performance, hopefully some new orb goodness will head our way soon.. matt. ------------------------------------------------------------ Valentine's Day is here, send a romantic gift to your friend or loved one NOW! http://www.smartshop.com/cgi-bin/main.cgi?ssa=4099&a=giftguide

From the Los Angeles Times 2/11/02

Did anyone catch Alex Saturday in LA? The notice was a bit short and I had my money sunk into Thievery Corporations LA stop at the El Rey with a bunch of friends on Friday. They were the bomb! Just couldn't do both this time around. Hope Gavin got the hot tip and the Orb do tour again this year. Proper here is Southern Cali. This review appeared in the Times this morning. Huh, all those time's I've attended his DJ gigs and no review. Edward "Orb's Paterson Comes Down To Earth In Engaging Show" By Steve Baltin POP MUSIC REVIEW (??) Though Dr. Alex Paterson has been called everything from genius to eccentric by the electronic community, he has never earned such descriptions as warm or inviting. One could even argue that since 1989, this member of the Orb has symbolized the idea of electronic music as cold and detached. So when the seminal UK dance figure came into town Saturday for a deejay set at the Knitting Factory, it was difficult to know what to expect. Would be play the kind of spacey, expansive ambient sounds-hardly dance music, really- that he has produced with the Orb? Or would he show a different side? Paterson started his set a little after midnight with Orb sounds, but his two-hour stink definitely showed an unexpected side. it wasn't so much the all-over-the map musical selections-which ranged from metallic synth version of the Smiths' "There Is A Light" to a sample of Paterson's own hit "Little Fluffy Clouds" and included House, Dancehall and pure Techno in between-as it was how animated Paterson was on stage. Dancing, jumping, smiling and waving his arms, Paterson was downright engaging. And as he settled into a groove roughly 40 minutes in, he even became a but playful with the audience, egging on the dancing fans with his motions. Also unexpected was how technically adept he was. True, Paterson has been performing as a deejay since the late 80's, but since most associate him with his own productions, his slick transitions and well-developed style were a bonus in a night full of pleasant surprises.
