Stupid question ("a-hey HEY!") about first ORBITAL album...

What's the difference between the US and UK editions of the "brown" ("yellow"?) album. I look on AMG and it's got this:

And the version I saw in the store had, like, most of the same tracks, but I think "Belfast" was a live version and on the end of the disc... ???

Anyone? Is one superior to the other?

Er...fuck, I mean green/yellow. I know the brown one is number 2.

...

heh--brown, number two, oh that's cute.

This entire thread was a setup for that joke, wasn't it? You evil man.

(I don't know the UK version so I can't really compare; it's my least favorite Orbital album by a country mile so I never listen to it anyway.)

Almost totally different albums.

UK: The Moebius / Macro Head / Speed Freak / Oolaa / Desert Storm / Farenheit 303 / Steel Cube Idolatry / High Rise / Chime (live) / Midnight (live) / Belfast

US: Belfast / The Moebius / Speed Freak (Moby Mutation) / Farenheit 3D3 / Desert Storm / Oolaa / Chime / Satan / Choice / Midnight

The US version doesn't have High Rise on it but they keep Desert Storm? That be mentalism!

There's no Macro Head on my version of Green. I've never heard of it, to be honest.

this 2 versions business is news to me. apparently i have the uk version.
desert storm is a brilliant track tho, why wouldn't they put it on both¿

Hey, thanks folks. It was the UK one I saw, and the UK one I will get--my only other option as far as getting one of the four that seem to be generally acclaimed is to get Orbital 2 for a lot more dough.

And no, I fucked up, and then made the joke. The only ha-ha that was intentional was the New Model Army reference in the title. Mwa-ha-ha!
