Read my post again .... I never said one band was ripping off the
other, in fact that was what I was arguing against. The original poster
compared Chill Out to "Adventures ..." and I said they were uncomparable.

It's *really* hard to take someone seriously who can't understand my
posts ;) Shheeesh! I thought you would all be well gen'd up on my abstarct
notations by now .)

>> Chill out was out LONG before "Huge ever growing brain".

So I now realise, I just remember it being a *long* time ago ... before
'Grungeland' started worshipping it ....

This is NeWS to me, I really didn't know this ..... I got the impression
that Jim and Bill cruised about the Scottish Highlands sampling all the
USAF Jets , Birds , Waves , then put it all together when they got back ...
I didn't know 'our-All' had a hand in it ...

As I said, *I* Never .... the original guy did, so I tried to castrate
him for it :-)

Hoping I understand what you mean by this post :) ... Yup, it's true.
In a couple of early articles I've seen on the Orb and the KLF, they
mentioned that Chill Out was mostly a selection of cuts edited down
from a 6 or 12 hour (or something like that) "ambiathon" at Trancentral
(Bill & Jimmy's house, right?), and Alex was involved in this event,
though to what extent we may never know. As for the samples, many of
them (jets, birds, waves) are on the BBC Sound Effects CDs, which can
be found at your local public library, even in the U.S.
