I see what you mean Jeff. I must admit that i do not follow the ambient route too much anymore so i do miss out the good stuff i think. I want to have a listen to the music made by some of the people you name here. But, i also think that back in the day, the Orb had a specific sound which i like(d). Later FSOL came along, with a similar (but still different) sound. If you want, could you name a few modern artists which have a similar sound? I would realy want to check that out. Not that i am 'stuck' in the old stuff, but i just love the sample-handling approach of the old Orb...

greets,
Ramon
