To keep it Orb related, ever play Centaur? complete 4 drop targets on the playfield to release "Power Orbs"
I own two Centaurs, one to keep, one to sell (it's currently missing the backglass). This is one of the best games of the 80's with very cool echo-plex (analog delay) on the music/speech, a spooky voice-track ("Bad move, Human!"), and minimalist black&white art-work. With 5-ball multiball, it's very exciting to say the least. And the whole game is based on earning and releasing "Orbs", and it talks about "Orbian Attack" (would be a great name for an Orb album) and "Maximum Orbian Strength Achieved".
The Orb didn't even use the most obvious sample of all from Sleeper where they got their name from. They didn't get too much into that sort of smug sampling.. ..though i dropped the orb scene from sleeper into my Little Fluffy Clouds remix. Yes i did. I think someone could and should do a novelty thrash metal version of Little Fluffy Clouds like what ENT did to KLF's 3AM Eternal. Just to bury it once and for all. Death metal vocals, too. WHAT! WERE THE SKIES LIKE! WHEN YOU-UUUU WERE YOUNG! -braaaaaaaaaoooooooooowww-JNG-GA-JANG-GA-JNG-GA-JGJGJGJG-JAOOWWW!- It would go off. :) oo, Kuz
