	To-do list for Chill Out (album):	edit  · history  · watch  · refresh
Needs some structural improvement. Perhaps "Origins" should become Context, with mention of The JAMs' previous sampling work. Needs a context section. A mention of what "ambient" music is and how this fits into ambient house would not be amiss either. Some material can be lifted from ambient house and possibly The Orb. Lead could probably be expanded, and needs possible checking. The word "seminal" may be objected to at FAC: ordinarily, yes, but we can use the word again in the body and then have citations saying this is credited as being the first ambient house album, and the 5th most important album in the history of dance music. Need to check everything is referenced (seems to be a bit lacking in number of citations, possible fancruft still lurking) and give it a final copyedit and polish. Any more reviews? "Composition and recording" needs cites where possible, preferably from music reviewers (a tricky balance to find)

[edit] Madrugada Eterna

Further to the discussions about this song / single. It strikes me that the connection between The Orb and The KLF is strengthened by the 2006 release from Malicious Damage 'Orb Sessions Volume 1'

The first track on this album is called "Mummie Don't" and quite clearly has sections that are identical to madrugada. The tracks themselves aren't individually credited, the whole release credits the usual early orb players including J. Cauty. The inner sleeve quoting :

"To the memories of Orb sessions in Trancentral, Lynford Studios, WAU Parties, Benmio, Coach House, Phutur, Spectrum, Schoom, Land of Oz, Trip, Seaside Resorts, Space & Yellow"

I feel it would be worth adding a reference and link to this album from this section.

I also had an email from 'Colsey' at Malicious Damage that stated he was trying to get lx and Jimi to agree to release the original 'Space' version, with both artists contributions which lx still has the masters of. This of course is heresay at the moment.

Many thanks for the tip-off. I haven't heard "Mummie Don't", but will seek it out. Are there any references out there that acknowledge the association (just to avoid 'original research' charges)?

Regarding 'Space', now that would be awesome. I think the released version is a beautiful thing, but I'd love to hear the Orb version. It's also interesting to see "Benmio" listed in the Orb recording locations. Is that definitely how it's spelt? Presumably it's the same place as "Benio" (mentioned in "Burn the Bastards" and a "Last Train to Trancentral" mix). --Vinoir 12:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Ooh... Now that is interesting and I agree, it would be very nice to hear Space as it was meant to be. Let's hope something comes of that. Either way, thanks for the info. --kingboyk 16:52, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: "Mummie Don't" there's nothing official, however a listener who knows both tracks can instantly recognise them as having the same roots / melodies / samples.

Re: "Benmio" - yes typo / dyslexia on my part - checking the credits again its actually "Bennio" - double n, but I suspect the same place. —The preceding Baz whyte 19:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
