I have an earlier Orb live album (Live '93), which included some Glastonbury where I first saw them. Covering material from 'Ultraworld' and 'UFOrb'. I expect this has a lot of their newer stuff on it. If you're familiar with the '93 album, how do they compare?

I have (the absolute classic) Live '93 Album on vinyl (it's seen better days now, tbh) and it would also vie for best live Album. They are pretty similar Steve, with some of the same songs, mixed in much the same way. The later stuff is more polished (more sophisticated sampling and effects etc) with, obviously, some later tracks, the same euphoric vibe and equally as well worth owning.
Little Fluffy Clouds will always be Little Fluffy Clouds
In fact, I may put Live '93 up next.

The sleeve is tired, but the records are in decent condition.

Having listened to both, back to back, the vibe is very similar, with constant themes, the later concert being slightly more sophisticated. I couldn't decide between them @pigmy Pony, if that helps at all

After three days of procrastination I decided that I'd use the 30 quid Amazon voucher I'd got off the kids for my birthday to buy the SW remix "Made in Japan", but then with impeccable timing Anita announced that she'd used it to "treat me" to a Pixies t shirt I'd mentioned ages ago. Treat me? It was my bloody voucher! Still a t shirt will be nice, all my others have mysteriously shrunk recently.Probably worth investing in a copy of the SW remix then Steve. You read it here first
And it could have been worse, we get my coffee pods and the cat's food off Amazon

Not really. I have that also and while it is very good, it is not quite up to the two mentioned, imooc.Just to complicate matters even further...

I will have to do my own listening, I enjoyed the 2016 recording, so look forward to trying the others.
Playing The Orb made me realise (as I sort of see them in the same vein) that I haven't played any Underworld in a very long time - so finishing the night with Beaucoup Fish - an absolute classic from 1999.

It's certainly worth listening to them all, to see what you think. That's all that matters, after all.

Re Underworld, I agree, a decent Album.
