Track 7 features samples performed by David Thewlis in the film 'Naked' by Mike Leigh.
The total duration of Track 12 is 11:43. The "72"-Tracks is actually a six-second bit. It was named '72' because the gap pads the CD length out to 72 minutes. It is followed by a gap, and a hidden track which runs for 6:31. The original name for this hidden track, which reportedly samples 'Moon Revolutions' by The Young Gods, was 'Eros'.

Edited 3 years agoI have been revisiting and listening through the album many times this week as it becomes 25 years. I have to conclude that this is excellent, not a dud or dated track in sight, on average on par with U.F.Orb & Orbus Terrarum. So why is this album not talked about more today?: Probably because by '97 the popular demand of the Orb had ed its zenith. Filter House, Big Beat and Drum'n'Bass was what was in vogue then.
A suggestion: Put 'Rose Tinted' (the exclusive track on Toxology) at the start of the playlist, it works well as an extended intro to Delta MK II
A minor criticism: The secret track is a fun surprise on first time listening, but on repeated listening it gets annoying to FFWD every time -
I love this album so much. I could go on about my history with it but I can't be bothered. I will note that on further inspection track 10 "Secrets" features Tom Green of the rare ambient group Another fine Day. fascinating. I'd say that as an adult hearing this today, "Secrets" is the peak track and peak production from this record, alongside "Ubquity" which is also a masterpiece. This album definitely feels like kind of the last great Orb album, in a sense, at least for me. -
Ive got the Orblivion clock that was released with the album in '97
anybody got any information about this clock -
I must say I had the most outstanding *ahem* shamanic journey listening to this and noticed a sample from Mike Leighs Naked - the next day I saw that the film been on telly the night before which I found to be rather trippy. Its a great album by the way, perhaps not their best but certainly very enjoyable.
