Others have tried and failed. The ambient electronic group the Orb's newest CD, Orblivion, has sold only 65,000 copies in the U.S.; recent releases by such vaunted acts as the Future Sound of London and Underworld have moved fewer than 60,000--the Spice Girls sold more than that last week.

How many mornings have you dressed in semidarkness only to show up at work in an outfit that looks as if it was assembled in total darkness...
