I've just happened on this
I've always liked The Orb, and "Blue Room" in particular, but I don't think I'd ever seen their ToTP performance of it.
I like them more now.

Love that
It brings back some good memories. I did not know there is a 40 minute version - not heard it all yet but pretty good so far.

I remember that, fantastic.
I often wonder what became of Kris Weston aka Thrash - a real boy genius.

Apparently he lives in a caravan and blogs about his mental health problems

Initially assumed it was just someone with the same name, but there are a couple of pages about a legal dispute over old samples that seems to indicate that it is him:

All a bit sad really.

There's a very bitter but quite funny rewrite of 'How We Made Little Fluffy Clouds' here
