Always glad to add data. "Little Fluffy Clouds" is the first track on the
first Orb album, a hypnotic dance piece with a big fat lawsuit behind it.
The dialogue was sampled without permission from the PBS television program
"Reading Rainbow" and features LeVar Burton and Rickie Lee Jones talking
about the colors of the desert sky at sunset. I still consider this song
the ultimate ambient house music track recorded to date. It's relaxing,
yet unbelievably catchy...yawn away, my dear Mr. Harrington, but I love it.
