Live 93

You'd think two discs/141 minutes of unadorned machine rhythms and strikingly original samples (Morricone, Rickie Lee Jones, TV documentaries, some chap named Victor Lewis-Smith singing, "Ripped to the Tits on Drink and Drugs") would be overkill, and you'd be right. But, taken in 30-minute doses, the Orb is both fascinating and functional in these excerpts from concert events in Tokyo, Copenhagen, and Glastonbury. <I>--Jeff Bateman</I>
