Back in 2003 it came out that there was going to be a limited edition remix for The Orb’s classic “Blue Room.” One thing leads to another, the press (and fans) seem to forget the remix and it gets stuck on a compilation album… As a result, time passes and the remix is forgotten by history. 

Early this morning I received an email with a link to the remix in question.  It turns out that a limited release white label promo 12” was also distributed to DJs in hopes of gaining attention for the compilation release. After listening to the remix I can understand why the track was lost in the mp3 files of music history.

It appears the remix producers, Chris Coco and Rob Da Bank, simply took parts of the original mix and decided to overlay a new percussion and a few extra lead synth sounds.  I find the remix to be very unimpressive.  If I wanted the original version I would just pull out the original release.

So, for individuals who must have every remix of the Orb (such as myself) I give you the promo only remix of The Orb’s Blue Room (CocoDaBank Remix).
