Some interesting info from Aaron Miles

The weird Orb/HFB track released a while ago - Liquidator Chelsea Mix (HFB vs the Orb) is ACTUALLY The Harry J. All Stars - Liquidator from the I'll Be Black compilation... Might be a little bit different but not enough to be a remix.

On the Baghdad Batteries bonus cd, the track "The Doll" is a version of Thomas Fehlmann's Barbie Girl remix of Electric Chairs BOB 6.


Another Fehlmann connection is Angel 3 Dub from Orbsessions 1 and Angel 4 Matrix from Orbsessions 2 is ACTUALLY Teufel from Fehlmann's Good Fridge (Flowing: Ninezeronineight).

Thanks to Aaron Miles for info.

Battersea Bunches Limited Edition A & B

Limited edition set of battersea bunches prints + DVD

there are 2 versions of this, SET A & SET B, each one has different prints but the DVD contents are the same on both

a short film by mike coles & alex paterson with music specially created by the orb plus accompanying exhibition by mike coles
In 1956 three young children took a trip from Battersea to Greenwich and the journey was beautifully captured on super-8 film by their aunt. In Battersea Bunches Mike Coles and Alex Paterson have revisited this journey, merging echoes of the past with fragments of the present to create an emotional and powerfully surreal memory. Ghosts of childhood in the fifties haunt the cavernous and derelict Battersea Power Station of today, fragments of lost time drift along the river Thames blending with snatched visions of the future. Set to a haunting musical soundscape written and recorded by The Orb this film suspends us in a twilit, dreamlike world of lost memories. It has its funny bits too.
Mixing stills from the film with contemporary footage Mike Coles has created a series of stunning, frozen snapshots of this haunted magical world.

CONTENTS [SET B]
6 signed & stamped prints of images from the exhibition
ON THE DVD: Battersea Bunches Film 17m 26s
