[Orb] New Album Due next year (how many times have we heard that?)

Saw the little bit of info on theorb.com //fresh back from the land of the gods work on new material gathers momentum......new orb tracks out soon on kompakt and the album nears completion.....transit kings ep will be out may/june on malicious damage with the album early next year.....and the sun shines briefly on battersea.....// Has anyone got any more info, are the tracks those that have been released on the Kompakt label??? Or is this stuff we havent heard? Steve :-)
