Gor' bless you.
My copy was worn out in the 1990's, skips like a ba**ard now. Bleeping noises coming from the skirting boards? Constantly thinking someone's knocking on the door? general aural hallucinations? no... It's just the Orb. Bless 'em.
Might be time to buy a new copy today..
Cheers GH, nolstalgic.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

That song is brilliant but now seems a bit ol' Timey considering its 15 years since its release

Mind you good music gets better with age!!!
