    If CD 2 was to be put into this double case, what were people supposed to do with the cardboard sleeve it came in?

      Some piece of trivia which a had once added to the notes (but was deleted again) on the 'Chocolate Hills Of Bohol Mix':
      The Chocolate Hills are a large formation of over a thousand grassy hills in the Bohol province of the Philippines. The grasses turn brown during the dry season, hence the name.

          The Oasis of Rhythms mix made me fall in love with the Orb in 1992, it is a masterpiece featuring samples of world music woven beautifully throughout, the excerpt of the master musicians of jajouka used gloriously. It is pretty much what started my love of house music which continues to this day.
