I often marvel at how weird this world is. I found this music by a random search for "Twins of Evil" trying to research a reference in an article about some movie I'll never see. "Harum Scarum" is particularly shocking if you just happened to have listened to "Cornerstone" by Styx a million times when you were a teenager. This leads me to re-pose the big question about sampling to the group: When you hear a blatant sample from a song you loved as a child, how do you react to it? For some people, many of the Orb sounds are something they've heard before (personally I usually have had a reverse occurence and I don't think that counts) so if this is you, what do/did you think about hearing something you've heard before in a different context? The reason I ask is that a small percentage of people are really offended by samples. They hear something they recognize from another song and they hate it. My own generalization about these people is they tend to hate unfaithful covers of songs, they don't like "jam" bands, their haircuts are ten to twenty years out of date, and they find anything that hasn't come out of the radio in their car as suspect. www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?!

I'm particularly fond of "When Voices Rise". If anyone checks these out (which would be awesome), I'd love to hear your thoughts.
