This was the Radio broadcast of The Orb’s set from Organic ‘96. It was a good show, but the Radio DJ’s were really, really annoying.

This sounds like an audience recording since there’s some speaker distortion. However, I think the distortion adds to the character of the sound.

One of my favorite shows. Great version of Secrets — I’ve always loved the ditzy weather girl. Nice, hard version of Delta MK II, as well. I think the best part of this show is Assassin, though, with the yelling preacher. And I’m not sure if this was really part of the show or a mistake in the radio broadcast, but there’s this weird cut-out of a guy saying “VX Magnatech” toward the end. Never knew what that was about. If anyone has any information, please comment.

edit: bomb23 has provided an alternate version of this show without the wacky VX Magnatech interference.
