I recently managed to get my hands on One To Three Overflow; Ninenine/nd and I love it! I think it's closer to Orbus Terrarum, though - especially track9 Superflowing has the same type of bassline as Plateau and Valley have ... it's really strange how Fehlmann manages to create a harmonious and organic whole from what seems to be a pool of noise at first contact ...

Date: 07 Jul 2000 12:32:24 -0400 I am going to do the outraged dad thing for a second. Im reading a mag called Mothering, very good stuff. And I get to an article about ADHD and the lies behind it and its supposed cure ritalin. What the hell, did you know that 15% of US school children are on legal dope? But this isn't good dope, its bringing our children down. How would you feel if a doctor told you that you just weren't right and so you had to take drugs to fit in? And we are busting crack dealers for the same thing, but crack isn't taxed. So, 15% and rising. In the 70's there where 150,000 US kids on FDA dope, now there are 51.5 million US kids on FDA dope!!! How about kids not in school? The ritalin prescription for 2 to 4 year olds in the US increased 200 to 300% from 1991-1995, they cant even decide for themselves, it makes me cry. Here is the kicker, there is no ADHD disease, no proof has ever been given and its been researched like crazy, and if we stopped giving our kids crap to eat, (candy mass amounts of meet...) these "crazy kids" would be "cured". But no, we as a society have more import things to worry about, $$$. If you don't think that this will affect you and non parents, just weight until these kids are working for you and freaking out because they forgot there meds and they haven't learned how to control themselves.

I was reading "contains" as "is/was a full member of". If you read it as "worked with at some point" System 7 "contains" even more people than the Orb. ;) Given the sheer number of writing credits that members of System 7 and the Orb share, it isn't all *that* surprising that they sometimes sound like each other.

I think that the hype is exciting. I do not think that I have awaited an album so long to be released. We have got to agree that the more waiting the better off we are as list members. Patience will react kinetic next live gig for sure . With all this extra summer time, maybe Island will develop an interactive CD that includes enhanced disc options... and official book bio. Good things come to those who wait. In the mean time Island/ Def Jam could merge with an up and coming toy making producer and create a new type of MP - 3 player. It could be a G.I. Joe sized figurine. We could harvest all the OOP material on the OAA on to Mp3 data. The data could insert under each figurine's lumbar back pack. The little Lx and Thomas would come with detachable headphones. Lx's would break! Add mini-record players and fake record carrying cases scale to size. D.J. Lx would have little earings too! The little jukebox figurines could have B-boy chains, hip hop vests, jersey T's, pole climber boots, wolley hats, sunvisors and strategicly placed sunshades!! The two figurines could match beats with each other and serve as bookshelf ornaments and paper weights. I think that Orb listeners are morphing into the electro-boy and girl friends Thomas speaks of in Hellsinki. My skull is at least dreaming of an Orb full of voodoo love.

All right, forget the Cydonia CD-Rs; please send me some of whatever you're on. As long as we're talking Cydonia Wish List here, even before this latest delay, I've always hoped they'd remix the album in 5.1 surround sound and release some kind of DVD-Audio thingy. Even if they didn't break their backs doing visuals to go along with it, I just want to hear the next Orb album in 5.1. Some "electronic" band is going to be the first on this bandwagon and provide a killer app for DVD-Audio with lots of panning and surround effects, and I see no reason why it shouldn't be the Orb. It's not like they haven't had the time, for fuck's sake... As far as good things coming to those who wait, I'm tired of waiting and find myself getting more and more bitter about all this Cydonia delay bullshit every day.

Of all the "studio wizards" I'm into, perhaps LX isn't the most obvious candidate for being "up to" a 5.1 mix, but of all the artists/bands I'm into, the Orb is the one I'm most keen to hear in 5.1.

I'm on the AoN and ZTT lists, too, and remember a few posts about this, but don't think it was ever definitively proven.

It's very unlikely that 5.1 audio would be delivered on "normal" CDs, not just because of the capacity issues you mentioned (although I doubt the math is that simple), but because all CD players currently in existence/circulation lack the discrete outputs for 5.1-channel sound. > so i think that if we see > 5.1 audio it'll be on DVD It already exists on DVD-Videos (and on a handful of music DVDs (like the previously mentioned Sly & Robbie / Howie B disc) written to the DVD-video format). Some wiseass mentioned Jurassic Park, even though it's not out yet, but that's a good enough example of the type of big-sound movie that benefits greatly from being delivered in 5.1 sound for home viewing. There's also a newer, separate format called DVD-Audio, which is really sort of a superset of DVD-Video in that it also includes specs for video in addition to high-resolution 5.1-channel sound. It was supposed to have been on the market already, but was held up in the 11th hour after the DeCSS crack. Now, however, they've apparently worked out the encryption / copy protection issues and players from Matsushita (Panasonic, Technics) and Pioneer should be on store shelves soon, hopefully with titles to follow. (As an aside, the "holy grail" player for which I'm holding out will not only do DVD-Video (in progressive scan output) and DVD-Audio, but will also play Sony's new Super Audio CD format. Chips exist that can handle all the formats, but I've yet to see a player announced that can. Waiting patiently...) > im gonna have the new playstation 2 which > i believe has a full DVD in it with 5.1 > sound or whatever. Playstation2 certainly has the capacity to do 5.1 sound; what's up in the air at this point is whether Sony will deliver the jacks/connections to hook it up to your 5.1-compatible receiver or whether they'll leave that to third parties. I believe the already-released Japanese Playstation2 only has stereo outs as shipped, but the US one will be different in more ways than just audio connections, so I guess we'll see this fall... > i would reeeeally like to see richard james > on this progect im am wonder what is next > for mr james. I'm sure everyone has their own personal wishlist. I already mentioned the Orb (obviously) and the Art of Noise. Someone else mentioned that Richie Hawtin aka Plastikman is experimenting with 5.1 sound. A friend of mine told me Pat Metheny's really into the idea. You're hyped up for Aphex to get on board. Who else seems like a good candidate? I know I'd have quite a list... As I stated before, someone will do this and do it very well. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a "killer app" for this, a title that's so cool in surround that it actually sells DVD-Audio players. For now, though, it's kind of a chicken-and-egg thing in that the players are just starting to trickle out and most of the artists/labels/studios are probably waiting for some critical mass before committing $$ to doing lots of DVD-Audio titles. Personally, I want it yesterday. I'd gladly not only buy new titles, but even re-purchase some titles (ABTU in full surround, anyone?) to hear them in 5.1.

They distorted it quite heavily, making it spin around while the man was holding it to his mouth, overtop the box logo on the Orbvs Terrarvm release.

Petrol is now approaching £0.90 per litre. That's £4.10 a gallon. For every £50 fill-up, you're just giving the government £37 out of your own pocket. Fact For the average family, a 1p increase per litre in the cost of fuel means an extra £46 a year out of their pocket. Fact Fuel duty has little to do with the environment. Leaded petrol was supposedly taxed highly for environmental reasons. Why then, when it was replaced with LRP did the price not come down? Diesel fuel, although potentially renewable by using vegetable oils, is no longer substantially cheaper than leaded petrol. So although it's technically cleaner (low sulpher etc), and potentially a renewable resource, it's taxed at near enough the same rate. LPG is the cleanest fuel there is but the government aren't actively trying to get you to convert. Fact £36billion is sucked out of motorist's pockets each year in tax. You buy the planet's most expensive petrol, but do you see that money going back into the roads? No you do not. A recent study pointed out that most of Britain's roads are up to 15 years beyond their structural refurbishment date. More to the point, your council tax and new car tax is supposed to pay for this, not the petrol duty! Fact Gordon Brown taxes the motorist more despite what he says. According to the Association of British Drivers, in the last budget speech, Gordon Brown stated that fuel duty and pensions would rise in line with inflation, seeking credit for an end to the fuel duty escalator which had previously put petrol prices up above the inflation rate each year. Yet it has emerged that the figure he used for pensions was 1.1%, while 3.3% was used to raise the price of fuel. In effect, Boycott The Pumps suspect that the reason the fuel duty escalator was abolished was because it was placing an upper limit on the tax increase available on fuel duty. By scrapping the escalator, Gordon Brown removed this upper limit and was free to increase tax by as much as he saw fit. Fact Freight companies are suffering - so is our trade with the EU. When a haulage company has to fill it's tanks with diesel taxed at such a ridiculous rate, it's running costs become so expensive that companies take their business to haulage firms based on the continent. That in turn means a loss of income for our country. Fact Public transport is not an option. Buses and coaches become more expensive again because of the underlying cost of running them. The privatised rail and bus companies continue to slash services and close branch routes because running them is not "cost effective." i.e. the shareholders aren't getting their dividends. And the government are doing nothing about it. Rail companies have been underperforming and missing targets as stipulated by their contracts ever since privatisation. Yet they're all still in business. And again, your council tax should be paying for public transport. The petrol tax goes straight to the government instead of to local councils where it could be used to make some difference. Would you pay this much tax on anything else you buy and not complain? If other consumer products were taxed at 340%: *2 pints of milk would cost £2.14 *a loaf of bread would cost £1.58 *a first class stamp would cost £1.13 *a cinema ticket would cost £21.94 *an no-frills evening out with dinner for two could cost £175.58 *a pack of batteries would cost £21.89 *a personal CD player would cost £566.26 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So Act! There is no major organisation that represents the British driver when it comes to matters of fuel duty. The government are bleeding motorists dry. Why? Because they can. As long as public apathy continues, and we keep paying ludicrous prices for our petrol, the government will keep laying on the tax. Tuesday, August 1st 2000, BOYCOTT THE FORECOURT PUMPS. THEN FROM MONDAY AUGUST 7th, ONCE A WEEK - EVERY MONDAY UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT ACTS AND CUTS THE TAX. Don't buy any petrol or diesel. Spread the word and force the government to listen. For once, let's stand up with a unified voice and make them understand that we will no longer be quietly steamrollered into a transport system that's crumbling under our feet whilst we pay for it through the nose. Tell them you have had enough of Rip-Off Britain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you're now thinking "Ooh that sounds a bit too much like hard work........" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ....then you have no cause to complain when petrol reaches £1.00 a litre, or £4.56 a gallon by Christmas 2000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write to your MP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you work in a petrol station and support us: I suggest you start printing on the receipts how much your punters just paid in tax. If people start getting receipts that read £50.00 (£37.00=tax), then they'll start to take notice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Sources : Petrol retailers association reports : http://www.rmif.co.uk/html/price_report.html) ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Vince Frank" Subject: Re: (orb) ORBULLETIN: more lx dj dates Date: 13 Jul 2000 09:14:48 -0500 > SAT 5 AMSTERDAM, DANCE VALLEY FESTIVAL - > LE PETIT ORB: Alex Paterson and Thomas Fehlmann > 8pm-10pm (Tbc) ===>Looks like Fehlmann is still with the Orb, huh?

Here is something from chris cunningham's website which seems to confirm most of the rumors.. ------ +Neuromancer : Entertainment Weekly #506 : 'E.W. Internet #14' special insert : ...In fact, the deal was closed when the director pulled out storyboards that he'd drawn when he was just 16. "Neuromancer made the kind of fantasy world I have in my head a lot clearer," he admits. Yet the London-based Cunningham is fed up with the way computer graphics have taken over the movies and aspires to make Neuromancer as cerebral as Kubrick's sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. He's aware of the risks. "If 2001came out today, would it be a complete flop, or would people be gasping at the intelligence of it?" Luckily, Gibson also wants Neuromancer to be an intelligent, human film rather than just another sci-fi blockbuster. Now that Cunningham is attached, most of the original script will be rewritten to combine the dual artists' visual aesthetics. As such, Neuromancer the movie, which has been optioned by producer Peter Hoffman but does not have studio backing, is still years away. Then again, when the book was first published in 1984, cyberspace seemed a long way off too. Cunningham and William Gibson are probably finished on the script to this film, which he will also direct, based on the Gibson novel Neuromancer. From the article in RES, Cunningham says, "The problem with that book is that it's been picked clean over the last ten years ... but I still think there's a brilliant film in there. . . I certainly don't want it to be my first film. It would kill me." Gibson speaks of Cunningham: "The guy's a genius. He's the man for the job - Neuromancer was his Wind of the Williows." "I hate all that virtual reality stuff. It's just so unbelievably boring. It's not gonna be a film about that, I just don't think that stuff is even relevant..." So will it be more character-based? "Totally, yeah - it's like a really bizarre, trippy thriller. To turn it into a film, the first thing you would have to do is bin all that VR bollocks. To me that would be like making a film about a phone or a car, which in ten years time will be as much in the background." (Flux, #14) Neuromancer has no set release date by Seven Arts Pictures. According to NME, Aphex Twin will script the soundtrack. For more information, visit Coming Attractions. There is also an official Neuromancer movie web-site with information about Cunningham, Gibson, and others involved with the film. UPDATE: The site is currently absent. Speculate as you wish. ---- This is the link to the site. http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~kh401597/dcc.html Sean >-------------------< "Well, what does it really do?

My last name happens to be Paterson so we are thinking of naming him Alex Paterson, what do you all think? Im not sure, I met someone named Jesus once and he was disappointing. Also, where is Alex from originally? He is the only other "Paterson" who spells the name with only one "T" that I have met. I have Scottish German and Irish blood and I think the name is Scottish but it mite be the Irish. Im not saying that im his long lost son, im just curious about this odd coweenkidink.

Now that I've had a few listens... It's good... But not my favorite orb album (although Most orb albums have been know to grow on me)... So I'm looking forward to see what changes are going to be made in the Non-Andy Version.. My opinions (keep in mind, they are clearly opinions), Once More, Promis and Ghost Dancing are my least favorite, and seem the weakest on the album. I really hope these are the ones that seriously get reworked on the new version. Mile Long Lump of Lard and Yungle probably my favorites, but that's just me.. I like the noisy agressiveness of those songs, and the breaks in Yungle are fun.. Some side notes.. Some of the songs sound like B-versions of Orblivion songs, with same Bass Riffs, and other sounds, just in different speeds and effects.Not that that makes me think less of it, it's just an observation, and was hoping maybe a little more. Terminus... Is classic.. Thats all I can say about that... But all in all.. Good.. and I will very excitedly purchase the Real thing when it's about.

Heh... When my wife and I were working at the same place, I thought it would be amusing to remotely log into her box and start playing the 40 minute mix of blue room. Turns out whe was listening to No Doubt at the time so at the end of the day she asked me, "Did Orb do a bunch of No Doubt remixes?" Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I agree that Once More, Promis, and Ghost Dancing are the weaker tracks. I really like Turn it Down and Ralf. I'll get to hear Terminus tonight... The production work on it reminded me a lot of the first Peel Sessions. An interesing mix between ambient sounds and meaty bass. Unfortunately, I have to classify this album as bad coding music -- I keep paying attention to the music and not the code! > But all in all..

A very amusing story indeed and full credit to Sean, but without wanting to sound like a pseud this whole episode has made me wonder if a mix can sound as convincing when it is accidental as when it is not, what does that say about orb stuff in general? The more I think about this the deeper I get - someone stop me! Cydonia still growing on me, 'Terminus' is indeed great and has the same sort of depth and 'vast-ness' (for want of a better word) that 'Plateau' has.

Date: 17 Jul 2000 15:03:57 -0400 (EDT) Is Cydonia going to be released as a double CD, as I've heard some of the CDR copies floating around are? I sincerely hope so... It's about time for another epic 2CD release, as the last one was seven years ago - and a live album doesn't fully count. ...And thanks to whoever uploaded Cydonia. Whoever thinks that people won't buy music they can get in MP3 format is dead wrong. MP3 files simply allow consumers to be smarter shoppers - they won't buy something that they've heard and know is crap. That's one reason why the record labels are so upset - because until now, you more or less had to buy something to hear it. That being said, I will be first in line to purchase Cydonia the moment it is released.

I think there's some confusion here about 2CD vs. v2.0. There were *two* versions of Cydonia CD-Rs, v1.0 and v2.0. As far as I know, neither was 2CDs. In fact, following is Smiley's original message about the differences. JG cydonia is now doing the rounds in a 'version 2' stylee. the only difference is that 'Freely Wheely' has been replaced by 'Jam On Yer Honey'. i'm VERY pleased about this, 'cos i said way back in february last year that 'Jam On Yer Honey' was too good to be a b-side, so i hope this is the way it stays. plus, it means that 'Freely Wheely' and 'Bicycles and Tricycles' can go together as b-sides - they were originally intended to be next to each other if they were both on the album anyway... ttfn. ===== Smiley # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Watercolors" Subject: Re: (orb) sample spotting - pulsating crazy ultraworld diamond Date: 17 Jul 2000 15:13:51 -0500 I also noticed an obvious guitar sample from Pink Floyd's Shine on you crazy diamond in the Orb's Peel Session of AHEGPBTRFTCOTU. you can hear it about 4:04 and again a few seconds later and then repeated several more times. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Peter Henry" Subject: Re: (orb) Oopps.. and Opinions..

I guess I'm just hoping that someone will upload these tracks as well. Maybe The Orb's management will put these two tracks on the actual release of Cydonia to encourage us MP3 downloaders to buy it. -Pete >Is Cydonia going to be released as a double CD, as I've heard some of the >CDR copies floating around are? >I sincerely hope so...

As far as I know, > neither was 2CDs. Actually, the inital release (according to Laz's page at http://www.theorb.com/releases/cydonia/index.html) was a2xCD-R of initial edits - looking like they're much longer versions than the one that's currently doing the rounds (and the CD-R that I originally got hold of - 'Version 1' - but I wasn't the one to upload it!) Agreed, even if you have the CD-R (like myself) or you downloaded it from the ftp site, we're all going to be down that shop when it finally arrives and (speaking for myself here) even if it was the same mixes as 'Version 1'... Roll on some more live dates (though from last week's '7' magazine - which I've left at work), LX states that the shows are going to be similar to the 'Bad Orb' shows that he's done recently (i.e. smaller venues and the like)... When I get back into work tomorrow, I shall type the article up... Looks like the promotional wheel has started rolling in time for an October release (fingers crossed).

Not very interesting. Do you know the Bass Communion's 1st album ? (it's the ambient work from Steve Wilson "Porcupine Tree") He used a 7 second sample from a Frippertronic session on "Drugged 2" over and over and over, and that IMHO is pure genius. So sad, so beautiful. Don't forget the Terminus live versions, they are great. And I also really like "Promis", except for the samples that are not really clever. "Turn it down" of course...

LX plunders a TON of stuff from the tape-Beatles. A huge part of Majestic (milliwall mix) is from them, as well as a lot of the samples on U.F.Orb- all the Vannah White samples and the "there is still no such reality as something for n-n-n-n-n-n-n-nothing", for example. Wasn't there a debate a while ago from someone who had found a set of sample records that seemed like they had the majority of Ultraworld on it? Not that I've ever had a problem with it, but I've always felt that when it came to The Orb, LX was pretty much just a DJ, and that it was his partner, be it Thrash, Andy Hughes, Fehlmann, Hillage, etc... who were the actual musical quotient of the band... -- Jason Bilsky- fuzzbox@world.std.com http://world.std.com/~fuzzbox "I am everything you want, I am everything you need, I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be, I say all the right things at exactly the right time, and I mean nothing to you and I don't know why." -Vertical Horizon # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ovation15@aol.com Subject: (orb) Cydonia (my opium) Date: 17 Jul 2000 18:25:04 EDT first off thanx whoever finally shared this CD. as for sending island $5 for the MP3s, dont hold your breathe. this is a promo isnt it? as someone else said, this album to me sounds alot like orblivion extended. isnt terminus from the orblivion tour? im surprised more people havnt said this because that was my first thought ("wow this sounds like orblivion"). i like 'once more' alot and have since the first time i heard it but deffinatley not my favorite. over all im very happy with it, ive run it through twice now and keep liking it better. i think its time to run it through on the big boom home stereo of mine to hear all those little extras that my computer speakers just dont do justice. overall i am very happy with it, but im thinking part of the reason it hasnt been released yet is that they are not fully satisfied with it and want to make it...well....perfect cant wait for the vinyl to be released!!!!! gemini killer # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "jmzd4" Subject: (orb) Cydonia Date: 17 Jul 2000 19:01:43 -0400 Yes, Thank you very much to the angel who put this up for us all to hear.

Yeah I said that earlier, and now after listening to this album about 4 times now (on many different sound systems (yes this thing is really growing on me(no I will not go any deeper with these parenthesis(see, just like Steve Shah said, it's bad coding music)(Okay, I lied)))), i know what it is that I'm hearing. Some of the sounds that are familiar.... "Turn it Down" sounds like "Towers of Dub pt. II".... with hints of Orblivion sounds... But the major difference I'd have to say about comparing Cydonia to Orblivion... Cydonia is nowhere near as "deep" sounding as Orblivion. But then again, a lot can be lost in an MP3, , and they might not even be mastered to add that extra orbish sparkle, hell these aren't even the Real Tracks.... So waiting to hear the real thing...

It has a circulation of about 10,000 an issue, mainly students of course. If you want to get the flavour, old ones exist at: http://www.gu.uwa.edu.au/pelican/editions/70-1/index.html Now the good thing is I have been given free reign to work on a much bigger and better electronic page, which means I can review a lot more good music... one idea I had was to do a section on self-made CD-R's and mp3's of up and coming artists, such as some of the people on this list... but I will accept any promos and give them a review... at the very least I will be listing titles and webpages for people to check out, if I am running out of room. If you would like to be involved, please do the following: 1. Send me some music in CD or vinyl format for review 2. Send me a bio/photo whatever you like 3. Direct me to a webpage to check out 4. Send info on how to get copies of the music, if people wish to hear more or buy it Please DO NOT send me actual mp3's over the email... I will have to restrict the mp3 section to listing and reviewing actual mp3.com pages, otherwise I will be swamped with stuff! I am looking for any kind of original electronic music of any genre... it need not be too "orby" at all. In return, I will send you a copy of any reviews or articles written on your music. cheers, and I look forward to hearing your stuff!

We should keep this 'in the family', and show some respect (is it too late for that???) by not spreading it all over the world, to those that would be less grateful.

Date: 16 Jul 2000 23:42:48 +0200 ... an Orb a day keeps the bluesrock away ... So hi y'all! Just wanted to share some thoughts on a certain beakful of tracks some of us were lucky enough to leech recently. To my mind, some of them bear a strange sort of sadness or melancholy in them that I have not yet been able to detect in other pieces of our favourite noisejugglers. Especially those featuring vocals, don't you find? It's definitely a new aspect to their work, sometimes reminding me faintly of stuff by Smoke City (track 3, mostly). Quite amazing how they keep pushing their own limits and styles. Probably there are quite a number of hardliners on this list who wish we were back in the days of . Well, bad luck, we aren't. And as far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing. To me, the fascinating thing about the Orb has always been that they made me hear and - with my squeegy third eye (to lift a phrase from Bill Hicks) - see things I hadn't before. So it's fine, I guess, that they keep moving. Wouldn't it be a joke if one of the most progressive bands on the planet was only producing mere quotations of its own former work? So anyway, the album has an excellent flow to it - starts off nice and clean and gets harder and weirder as it proceeds and has you floating out of it in the end. All in all, to me it feels like a summing up of a lot of their work, taken one step further. Soundwise, I feel taken back to Orblivion quite often. There's the weirdness of Pomme Fritz or tracks like Montagne D'Or and Slug Dub. There's a nice and clean opener, like Little Fluffy Clouds. But always, it feels just like a reference, not like a reproduction. An orbish experience from start to end. Ahhh, and I already *love* those strings on track 2. Maybe, there could have been some more samples, all in all. Anyway, thumbs up.

Might I suggest that we each write a cheque for $5 (or even $10) and mail it, along with a standard communally drafted letter to Island indicating that the payment represents our license payment for the music, which we deem fair considering the fact that they have undertaken no marketing or manufacturing costs.

The first three tracks are my favorites, along with Ralf, Mile long... by far the weakest. Terminus is great too, a nice little recycling of previous orbience. Personally, I can do without the chunky side of the Orb (only left on MLLOL, really)... I prefer this album as a whole more than Orblivion because it sounds much better, it has more breathing room, unlike the thick, chunky soup (didn't we talk of soup a little while back?) of Orblivion. The production values are really superb. There's so much going on, but it all inhabits the listening field extremely well. I'm very, very happy with it. I also realize that hearing the whole thing gives a much different impression than the mere samples we got on orb.com back before x-mas (?)... I'll be very interested in hearing the reworkings, even though I think it's great just as it is... I think everybody's attitude about this has been fairly good (although I think we could have waited patiently, don't the folks at Island have themselves partially to blame for the course of these actions?). I just want it to be said again... let's keep this to ourselves, the hardcore fans that are going to buy it proper in October, and let's make sure this stays off Napster! # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Meredith, Justin" Subject: (orb) Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 13:38:06 -0400 Date: 18 Jul 2000 11:38:07 -0600 HAS ANYONE HAD A O.O.B.E.?????

I appreciate your sentiments, but understand that the Tape-beatles engaged in plundering to create their records, and would be perfectly delighted to know that they propagated the material for further plundering by groups like the Orb. Tape-beatles have no interest in copyright or accreditation -- like Negativland, they actively challenge the institution of intellectual property, etc. -- and instead of a "c" their releases come emblazoned with a "p" for "plagiarism". The Orb isn't the only group to utilize Tape-beatles recordings -- David Thrussell springs to mind, and he doesn't credit them either -- but I'm surprised there aren't more that do so. You'll find many more Orb samples on their album /Music With Sound/, my personal favorite.

This is going to get on Napster, regardless of what we do about it. If the record companies cant stop it, we sure cant. Besides, what makes them better than us anyway? Im not going to try to make myself feel better about this by promising to buy the cd, vinyl, singles, etc. when they release them. I am anyway of course. This is piracy. dont fool yourself. I hate record companies, and dont feel bad about copying it. Perhaps a significant number of those ****ing kids will grow to love the Orb, and start buying thier tunes. Who knows. It is just so damn hard to put the genie back in the bottle. Changing the tone, I would like to send some positive vibes to the person that upped this. Nice job. May you live a long happy life.

Just had a listen to the 'new' Cydonia. Pretty nice! Is what we expect from our lunar types. Is nicely stuffed with low fequencies (me like!) MLLOL is fav. Ghost dancing somewhat uhuh. Please xcuse me for placing 1 small comment.. Where are the nice samples the whole AHEGBTRFTCOTUW was filled with? I KNOW that music evolves and develops, but I liked the stile the first full-length album had.

Are there any special instructions to uploading to the OAA? I'm just curious. I still don't see quite why they didn't add the Ultrabass remixes to the UK version of Perpetual Dawn. I went through quite a lot of trouble tracking down the US version quite a while back. I'd say it's much more worth your trouble to find the US version. I'd throw in my vote as "Perpetual Dawn (Ultrabass II)" as the best track on an Orb single, close second is the Frank De Wulf remix of "Blue Room".

Just a few quick things rummin' through my mind. Is there any new development with the CD-R tree that was brought up by RBJ? Just wonderin' because with all of the Cydonia uproar I think I may have missed something. And now that I've mentioned Cydonia, I would like to inquire [against my own better judgement] if anyone would be willing to record it and send it to me, I'm sure we could work something out. No time for the internet makes for some nonexistant uploads. If anyone has a problem with this, well....I don't know what to say. Also, I personally love Orbus Terrarum and Occidental.

I also bought Orbvs first and on a whim ("Sounds like a rain forest on Mars" was the tag-line that BMG music club gave it. - it instantly went down as one of my picks. hell, and that was when i was into Ministry and NIN!) Occidental is priceless - especially with that weird ending - intro into Slvg Dvb! U.F.

(special thanx goes out to Dr.Winston O'Boogie) A note to all downloaders: ========================== Hello, When you download something don't forget to take the .sfv file allong !! With this file you can verify your downloads using winsfv32 which you can find in the warez dir. This verification is important !! As long distance downloads may have errors (1 bit wrong) resulting in ticks lost frames or desastrous errors in your downloaded file. If everyone keeps the sfv file along with the files the originality of those files is sustained. Greetnx, Joda Server Uptime: ============== The server will be up as much as possible (as soon as the BOX is turned on the server is started). Depending on the HardDisk inserted there wil either be a reduced set (most wanted) or a full set of files. So if you cannot find the files you saw before just try again the next day to see if the big HD is up or not.

As this may only happen on some occasions you don't need to worry. The standard limit will be 20 users and a maximum transfer rate of 100 kbytes/sec per user and/or a maximum total transfer rate of 700 kb/sec. There will never be a maximum you can download. Future Plans for the site: ========================== We will manly host Music Video's and live bootlegs and maybe some out of print work. We will not host certain files if any official party objects. We won't be restricted to just ORB stuff, music of the same genre may be added. If the money permits we may expand to a larger site then the now available 2 GB. -------------------- Greetinx to you all, Joda PS.

This goes along with my theory that usually, the first album you really listen to by a given artist, usually ends up being your favorite, with previous albums sounding more and more primitive and less polished as you go backwards in the catlogue, and future ablums sound more and more 'produced' and generic. This theory can apply in varying degrees, or not at all, but for me it applies more often than not. *MoonDogg* -----Original Message----- I agree. my first orb experiece was buying OT on a whim.

I used to have them fairly often when I was a kid (5-7 years old) ... haven't really had them since then, that I can recall.

I agree with Volker here that exploring OOBEs is not something that should be done carelessly, as it is a serious extra-sensory ability and not like a recreational drug trip, but if you're into it there are certainly books you can read and I have no doubt that anyone could learn it just like any other ability.

I just bought a copy of a German electronic music magazine named "Auf Abwegen" (#29, summer 2000). It features an interview/documentary with/on Thomas Fehlmann (page 10 f). There's a photo next to the article on which he looks like Ben Kingsley in Ghandi (I swear this is true). So anyway, Fehlmann talks about his role in the Orb's music and I thought y'all might be interested to hear what he's got to say (translated, of course): "I am not a member that's going on tour with the Orb. If I do, it's just to deejay as a warm-up. I'm more like that one that brings order to The Orb, the "efficient German" that comes walking through the door and starts cleaning up the mess a bit. This means that Alex passes me rough musical pieces that I try to shape up. He is then reacting to my work in return, it's like a game of ping-pong. My work for the Orb mainly takes place while the music is being created. Fine-tuning it and mucking about with the sound is up to others."

Honestly, does no one know how to use Lazlo's discography? It is from the Serious Road Trip compilation.

U.F.Orb is defenetly the best album/time for the Orb. it was way more professionnal than Ultraworld (sound, equipement) and they never got back to it's level again. never had so good singles neither.

Another fav. band of mine is Information Society -- I heard > all of their albums in order and my fav album of theirs is Peace & Love Inc. > which was their third. > > As long as everyone's talking about favorite Orb albums, I guess I'll hafta voice my opinion for once. first, i think it's hard to compare them because of obvious differences in the general sound. Ulraworld and U.FOrb have a general style of beats then chill outs, where as pomme fritz sort of melds the two, with more gray area and a whole buncha craziness. Orbus Terrarum is more dense, and also has that "earthy" feeling (duh..), as opposed to being thrown out into space or somewhere far beyond our 4 dimensions. Whenever I listen to OT, I usually feel like I'm gracefully gliding over wonderfull terrains, sometimes going higher into the clouds, sometimes touching ground...but anyways...As for Orblivion, it's super-dense with beats, and finally cools down towards the end - As the title (and cover art) implies, it's a big soup of all things orb in one streaming semi-ambient frenzy. Getting back to favorites though, I'd say U.F.Orb has the most consistent feeling or atmosphere - O.O.B.E. takes you there and you never really have a chance to get back, despite different styles of ambient, sound, house, dub, etc (that's why LX is the man...). OT just doesn't have such a spaced-out feeling, but i think it does have the most "movement" of all the albums - It's a good one to walk around w/ headphones to. Even after listening to Orblivion so many times, i still can't remember how certain tracks sound, mainly because of it's ultra-complex density of sounds and general lack of long buildups (save for S.A.L.T). OK. My Conlusion: U.F.Orb has the sound that most of us want - a nice trip to another dimension with slow ins and outs. I agree with whoever said it's like a more advanced Ultraworld (yet I really love the less-produced sound of Ultraworld it's more raw space than anything else). Orbus Terrarum - i like it best durring the day when it's sunny out =) Orblivion isn't as "easy" an album, but gets better with each listen as you start recognizing things you realize you really like - Asylum is probably my favorite orb track because sometimes it sounds really lax, and other times it just rocks. Therefore, I don't have a favorite, but I have more time to listen to music at night, when I'm tired or whatever, so I grab U.F.Orb most often. I won't even comment on Cydonia v.1 until I've heard it straight through at least a couple times... okay that's it! -Andrew AKA Club HAPPY BEST # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: derrien@club-internet.fr Subject: Re: (orb) Communicate???

But it includes UNMIXED : The Orb : Once More (Bedrock Dub mix) Written by Paterson/Hughes/Omori Produced by the Orb 1999 Island record I think this version is longer than the mixed one on the CD, but I cant tell : I just heard the CD, I dont own it.

The compilation staedtizism ~scape cd005 Tracklistings 1. gramm - siemens.bioport (live edit) 2. vladislav delay - .d/kompiila 3. sun electric - echelon 4. to rococo ro and i-sound - milker 5. kit clayton - reins 6. pole - sachtesachte 7. trash aesthetic - pavonia mix 8. thomas fehlmann - fellmaus 9. the modernist - eurojah (immigran dub) 10. burnt friedman & the nu dub players - hard drive dub. For those who are really into Orb's UF.Orb ambient dub style sound (which many on the list recently seem to be showing) might want to check this comp out. Very smooth, flowing minimal dub tracks... Nice... Thomas's track, really nice and flowing(no pun intended)... watery... but a lttle darker than his usual fare. Sean >-------------------< "Well, what does it really do?

When you replay mp3s now, you won't hear anything but they will be converted to wav files that you can then burn onto CD. Don't forget to switch back to WaveOutDLL after decoding, otherwise you'll be confused if you start up WinAmp again later and you don't hear anything when you replay an mp3.

If you have a cd-r burner, use Nero (30 day demo available at www.ahead.de). Simply choose 'audio cd', then drag and drop mp3 files on the window. Nero will auto-convert the mp3s into cd audio before burning the disc. Adaptec's full version of cd creator 4.0 will also do the trick, but you've got to buy it. I don't think the crippleware versions floating around have this option. If, for some reason, Nero doesn't work, you can use Audio Catalyst to convert the mp3s to wavs, then use your usual cd-r burning program to make an audio cd of the wav files. But I'll warn you, converting Cydonia to wav will use up about 700 meg of hard drive space. hugh From the fertile mind of Alex Grundy sprouted: > What I would like to know is 'Is it possible to convert mp3 files to normal > audio files so that they can be burned onto a CD and played via a normal CD > player???' # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Sylvain Racine Subject: Re: (orb) OT: converting mp3 to audio CD Date: 21 Jul 2000 10:17:52 -0400 =AB=ABWhat I would like to know is 'Is it possible to convert mp3 files to= =20 normal audio files so that they can be burned onto a CD and played via a=20 =AB=ABnormal CD player???' of course :o) try to find musicmatch ( http://www.musicmatch.com/ ), it's like winamp or= =20 sonique but you can convert .mp3 to .wav or even just drag your mp3=20 selection and burn it all right from MM!! and yes Cydonia just sound awesome in your stereo :oD Sylvain Racine Designer web / Web designer www.infinit.com icq: 20666083 - # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: oDdjOb Subject: Re: (orb) OT: converting mp3 to audio CD Date: 21 Jul 2000 16:54:22 +0200 Hiho!

There's lots of great music to explore if you're into this kind of thing (though, of course, no one else quite sounds like DVOA). Voice of Eye, Hafler Trio, O Yuki Conjugate, and Manifold-label stuff are current favorites.

Incredible record. To make this even more hyperrelated... Also Spybey work with Thierault of Viovod, and made a really nice hypnotic ambient/expirimental/electronic piece... comes packaged in a nice canvas baglike material.

I just remember my mind floating inside the sound, and that all that was in my mind and thought, nothing else.. not stress not work... nothing but the sound... The CD build slowly into this last track that is this swirling, hectic, fratic piece, that just climaxes and falls into the low droning tones.. And at that moment when that soudn ahppend..

I still can't get into the first 3 songs because of the vocals. It's just personal taste, but to me, the reason I like the Orb so much is because there isn't any vocals. (...and the samples don't count since they're thrown in for humour purposes) And to continue the favorite album thread, my favorite definately has to be OT. When I first heard Slug Dub, I fell in love with it. It took me a while to get into the rest of the album, but its definately my fav. Not that I don't like the others, but every time I listen to OT, I hear something different. I think it's difficult to compare OT to U.F.Orb though, because the styles are so different. It's all good! I have to admit though, Orblivion has been on the shelf since about 2 months after it came out. and finally, I listened to the Orb before OT came out, and when it was released, it became my fav after a couple months, so I don't know about the theory of the first album heard being the fav. I'm sure it happens, but it would be silly to make a generalization like that...

I was browsing. I found this: http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/album.html/artistid =ORB/itemid=1243415 (if the link gets messed up for you - just go to www.cdnow.com and search for orb - and about halfway down the page you will see an "Import" link for Cydonia) So i started wondering what it was. After searching through several stupid websites (including the new www.orblivion.com - which caught me off guard - that=lame) - i finally stumbled on an archive of this news group and read some nice tid-bits about this Cydonia album. and since i didn't see this anywhere on there - i thought i should post it: looks like Cydonia is on sale in Japan - according to cdnow at least. I'm not a member of this newsgroup - and i don't really want to be right now cause i hate my mail box getting filled up and me never having time to read them all. i tried the orbital one for a while but kept falling behind. ANYWAY - If anybody orders it, let me know if it's worth it.

Anyone who likes the mastering job on it should get me some more work. =) "Stand By Your Man" is brilliant, but it's too bad they didn't let him put on the version that he wanted to put on. It's much stranger. Anyway, my main point here is that anyone who digs the Orb and is comfortable with the industrial end of the music spectrum should definitely check Not Breathing out. It's some of the more original electronic music out there, especially now that he's building his own gear. Though not sample-heavy, D. Wright's work does have an morphic, layered sound-montage quality that listees might enjoy, and he handily covers all the territory from deep-space ambient to pounding beatfests. (His beats actually have more in common with Sun Electric, but there you are.)

The first three songs (Once More, Promis and Ghost Dancing) sound realy 'down to earth', as if they try to prepare the listener to the Orbisation later on on the CD. They have got nice beat and baseline and the vocals fit in perfectly! Then it all starts. Mile long lump of lard is a great tune, with a mental baseline and kickin' beats. At 2.40 a mad synth-line comes in, lovely. Sample goes: 'you can feel the heat you can feel the flash, going mad' or something. Meanwhile smoked a nice big spliff.. Next song Ralf 's got a catchy synth-line goin' on backed with good Andy-style beats. It has a very nice break at 4.00! Freely Wheely got a very dubby feel to it. Deep basedrum and vocal samples are great. Superb Indian/Asian percussion.. The song ends a bit strange and abrupt. Yungle's got a slow start, then evolves into pretty good jungle'ish type of stuff. I loooove the wierd high-pitched vocal sample. It does something with my brain. This song must sound absolutely great played live. Drumloop later in the song sounds realy familiar, could be from a Massive Attack album? Terminus reminds me of the FFWD album somehow. Nice long FFWD samples in there. Then turns into a style together with a bass-slide (oof!) which wakes up the neighbours i guess. Strange but great 'orchestra' feel/samples. So there's my view. Nice album all in all. Does not appear on 'my best songs of Orb'-list, but who knows.... greetz..

Date: 23 Jul 2000 10:33:33 -0600 The Aubrey mixes are just fantastic. I got the CD a year ago on Ebay quite cheap (20 bucks, considering I've seen it go for 50) and it's quite a far cry from Ultraworld, if I say so myself. "Perpetual Dawn (January 3 Mix)" is probably the furthest cry from the original, and sounds more like a different song. "Back Side of the Moon (Underwater Deep Space Mix)" sounds more like it's a remix of "Supernova at the End of the Universe" than anything. But my favorite on there has to be the Outlands mix, that's just perfection. Anyways, I think that the Peel Session of "Valley" is the best version of that song, period. I could never get into the version on OT and I usually skip it. The version on Live 93 still never really does it for me, but the version from the 2nd Peel Sessions disc... PURE BLISS! "Montagne D'or" on there is pretty weak I think, but I like it. I just always expect the fury at the end of the album version, and never hear it :( I'd say my least favorite Orb album is "Live 93". I still love it, but I just can't get into it as much as I do the others. It has it's charms (AHPEGBTRFTCOTU on there is just fantastic of course, and I love when it breaks into the Orbital dance mix and Outlands is just perfection) but I think "Assassin" is pretty weak, and "Valley" and "Plateau" just doesn't match the other versions. But now I think I know how people react to my live shows :) I pull off a tad too much noodling on stage, which must get old. To the guy who mentioned taking acid and shrooms to Orbus Terrarum and Pomme Fritz, try taking shrooms to "Asylum (Blood Sugar's Mix I)". It was possibly the funniest thing ever -Dave P.S. Can anyone make out what that man says from 7:46 on in Montagne D'or on OT. I can make out some of it, but not the rest.

One > is the Two differnt timing. 4/4 and 3/4... at the same time! Actually The Orb does lots of stuff with mixed time signatures, Little fluffy clouds on brO eviL '93 is mainly 4/4 with a 3/4 hi hat. Also I find myself playing in odd time signatures when I don't have a metronome clicking me when its the down beat. I have found that "time signatures" are best for reading music and not really needed in making music such as electronic.

I've been listening to Cydonia almost constantly since it hit the FTP sites last week, and am very thankful for new Orb stuff. As much as I hate to say it, the album (at least in its current form) fails to blow me away like most of the earlier releases did. One of the main reasons I've always liked the Orb's albums is because they were in that "none of the above" category. Cydonia doesn't totally leave me with that impression, even with the weird samples and stuff. To me, the album doesn't really seem to go far our and break new ground (with the definite exception of Terminus - which is breathtaking, and seems like the next installment in the 'Valley/Plateau' set). Maybe it's the super-fast "jungle" beats that turn me off - I don't know. In the past, the Orb always exhibited a wonderful restraint from relying on breakbeats to carry a song, and opted to focus more on the many layers of music and cool samples instead. Some of the new stuff sounds like it belongs on a soundtrack for the next "Matrix" movie or something. Don't get me wrong... I *do* like the new album, but I'd defintiely have to agree that U.F.Orb and OT are the best things that the Orb has ever done. Those two albums in particular still fill me with awe. I was really hoping that Cydonia would, too. On a side note, when is the long-awaited second FFWD album coming? Terminus reminded me of how awesome the first one is. cheers, Jeff Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: seofon@a-toi.com (Seofon) Subject: Re: (orb) Not Cydonia, but...

The first time I heard "Valley" was live on the UFOrb tour, and I was blown away, but then was disappointed when I heard how it was remixed for the LP, etc. The thing about the "Valley" on /Live 93/ is that the EQ is a bit mudskipper.

Deal with it or live in the past. OK John, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one... I like change just as much as anybody, after all, if the Orb didn't change, we wouldn't have Orbus Terrarum. BUT, I don't think that the way they are changing right now is a growth or expansion from previous works. I do enjoy Cydonia, but the way I have always seen the Orb is - taking current trends in dance music and stretching/modifying them out to be much more deep and thought provoking than regular "dance" music. This created a very unique sound that I don't believe has been matched to this day. With Pomme Fritz and OT, they changed (and grew) drastically into what I consider their best period yet - still using the underlying dance music sounds but making them into something comletely different & unexpected. However, it seems that with Orblivion and now Cydonia, they went back to regular "dance" music trends on the surface, but didn't alter them as much as in the past. The music seems to have lost something, and I personally feel that this music can be(and is) matched by others... >I'm very happy to see the orb using break beats and getting into >jungle. I like that the Orb does this too, but I think it should still be waaaay out there, and mutated into something that is uniquely Orb. Take the jungle breaks and do something that no one has ever heard, or ever imagined hearing - then it will be the Orb... I think someone put it nicely when they said that the Orb was always categorized as "other", but now they they don't sound much different than the others. I like the Orb because of the "other". It shows creativity, and with electronica(or whatever) becoming more popular as you mentioned, they should try even harder to be unique and groundbreaking. They've done it several times before, so I'm sure they can do it again. daryl "Me? A job? Were they serious?

To me, the Orb is like a big ol' space-whale, floating through the atmosphere, swallowing various trends in dance music like plankton (bear with me here). Every once in a while, the whale takes a nice big dump, a new Orb album. (if you want to continue this metaphor -- and who wouldn't -- you could say the various Orb mixes that get released in between albums are lil' whale farts). Uh, let's see...we dry that big whale turd in the sun for a bit, roll it into a big fat spliff, and enjoy. The taste is always a little different, depending on what was eaten beforehad, but it always tastes like the Orb! Jesus, what the hell am I smoking here? OK, i'll stop now. Cydonia, to me, is a more succesful Orblivion, which is too "cluttered" for me. The progression, for one, is terrific! --from the smooth as silk "pop" of the first tracks (and dammit, I love pop music) to the dubby excursions of "Lard" to the amazing smack-me-upside-my-head "Yungle"...and then the closing Terminus, which is like a little nod to all us folks who love the first album so. Speaking of which, I had been pretty burned out on the Orb, and I honestly wasn't expecting Cydonia to thrill me. Boy was I wrong. It kicked me right in the ass and now i've got a big stack of my orb collection sitting in front of the stereo....and listening to each piece I think, oh yeah, THATS why i love the Orb.... Now i'm gonna grab another chunk of that dried whale turd, fire it up, and listen to the Blue Pearl "Mother Dawn" 12" I just got in the mail...

I was going somewhere with this but I forgot... hmmmm.,. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "That Ambient Guy" Subject: (orb) Orb's musical directions, ambient info Date: 27 Jul 2000 05:47:37 PDT Orb seems to go in a new direction with every album, and I love the Orb and it seems to me that whenever they go in a new direction it takes everybody else (at least, me) a while to catch up. I got ABTU on a whim I love it. I got Orbus Terrarum and thought it was self indulgent and boring and now I love it--Valley + Plateau kind of hit one night after a dance when I was lying there, chilling out and realized this is intangible music--it evokes empty desert plateaus as the moon slowly wanes and it's GENIUS. Orblivion seemed to dancey to me at first, now I love it and I'm sure the same will happen with Cydonia.... My new catchphrase which I'm using for my band's "tag" which no one can use but me: AMBIENT WILL NEVER DIE.... BECAUSE AMBIENT WILL NEVER REALLY LIVE.... I was thinking about it.... Ambient is so great, cuz its popular enough to be in some record shops and available, but unpopular enough to be unexplored and flexible and strange/boring enough so that we'll never get "posers" into the ambient "arena" (other than those *new agers* >:( Ambient is so infinitely explorable and doesn't have a scene to thrive in..... It's mostly heard in bedrooms and on headphones not in clubs or ads, and since it defies being danceable it'll never become popular enough to be crippled by its own popularity. It becomes interesting in waves, when culture takes some notice of it and then ignores it again.... That's my little speech, sorrry. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: woadspiral Subject: (orb) LXP date Date: 27 Jul 2000 06:47:06 -0700 (PDT) Sorry if this has already been posted, my mail is screwy atm - just got my birthday invite to the next RTTS bash, the flyer advertises LX playing.

I don't consider the Orb to be "ambient" any more than I consider them to be "drum & bass," "big beat," "trance," "trip-hop" or whatever the latest trendy label might be. "That's not drum & bass; it's tech-step." "That's not trance; it's deep house." "That's not ambient; it's new age." "That's not trip-hop; it's big beat."

I'm into all kinds of electronic music - and some choice 'traditional' music. In past threads, other orbies of kind of frowned on this - variety of music, they said is what made them dig the orb's music so much. The spectrum of sounds in the orb's work is what has hooked most of us in. Cydonia just has new sounds and new spectrums. I enjoy progressive music - both in a microcosm/macrocosm perspective. Microcosm = the internal progression of each song. and songs across an album. The orb is extremely proficient at this. I mean every album is like a story book - an individual tale. plots, climaxes, & resolutions are all words, and theories you can use generously when discussing the orb's music. Macrocosm = the progression of an artist over the course of their career. The orb has just reached a new space. and if that space, that spectrum is chock full of breaks and jungle ("hardware" as LX referred to it - Joe from FL knows what I'm talking about.) I'm generally impressed with cydonia. however, one tidbit that is getting glossed over: This is a first generation unproduced version of their album. It's like a book with it's chapters all mixed up. I mean, would the orb really slap 3 vocal tracks at the beginning of an album? Pomme Fritz was sick, but this is just plain silly. -eric btw - zydico - which i was recently informed of is new orleans style of party music. the music made to dance to while holding a drink. from how it was described to me i think the orb could probably do it proper by peppering some calypso-funk-dub with a bit of zydico. : Change is good. Deal with it or live in the past. I'm very happy to see : the orb using break beats and getting into jungle. Its still the orb too : me. LX just acquired a few more hats to wear in his arsenal of audio : mayhem. I hear a lot of things in Cydonia that bring me back to 1992. It : has totally put a smile on my face. I also am absorbing things that are : 'new' for the orb. And it makes my butt move! Its such a nice blend of old : and new. Sorry to hear its scaring some orbies to see them going more 'main : stream'. Well guess what...electronic music is now pretty main stream so : its going to be difficult for them to be so original these days. The orb : has a style all their own no matter what type of music is being done. Hell, : I'd love to hear a twanged out county album by LX. I'll bet it would sound : great...Chill Out.

Well, it's the closest thing I can think of to describe it--the stuff is absolutely amazing. There was a car commercial here in the states that ran last year that started off with some Cajun guy (i.e., Louisiana) saying, "Welcome to de swaaaaamp!" which I thought would be a WONDERFUL sample.... I wish I had recorded that. Oh--and another wonderful sample I keep forgetting to record, from The Simpsons (the episode where Lisa babysits for Bart), after Reverend Lovejoy says, "And the band Testament will be playing in the church social hall on Saturday evening," Bart simply scoffs and says, "All the BEST bands are affiliated with Satan."

I think the little "glitches" you're referring to between and at the beginning of tracks may have to do more with sloppy MP3 encoding than with any errors on the band's part. Having said that, though, I'd like to mention that this album is one of the *better* ripping-to-MP3 jobs I've heard, especially for an album where songs are supposed to "flow" or be mixed/crossfaded together. In my (limited) experience, there's usually a *worse* "gap" between MP3 tracks that are meant to be seamlessly mixed than I've noticed with the Cydonia tracks. Not to mention that there are usually worse problems with digital noise and encoding artifacts... So overall I commend the mystery person who ripped this, but the little hiccups you mention (assuming we're talking about the same thing) are, I suspect, MP3 problems that I'd guess don't exist on the original CD-Rs.

I've noticed that some believe that continuous mixes are not welcome and introduce gaps into songs. I've seen this with some tools that rip to CD as well. Very annoying. The xmms player under Unix can play continuous mixes without a hitch. I've just used cdparanoia and lame to encode tracks from my own CD's and the continuous mixes stay continuous. -Steve -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Steve Shah (sshah@planetoid.org) | SysAdmin/Coder/Gabbernaut/DJ/Writer/Minister http://www.planetoid.org | We're not dropping out, we're infiltrating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dance while you can. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: PGW Subject: (orb) Re: Cydonia Track Order Date: 28 Jul 2000 10:17:03 -0700 If you want to run the songs together, which works well, you should find a free audio editor. I used sound PPC(MAC) and I converted the sounds to a different format AIFF and then imported them into Audio Desk (MOTU). The songs flow together and I believe they are ment to be in the order they're in. You can save the whole album as one file and then burn it to CD. There's a lot more freeware to do this for a PC. You could use Sonic Foundry Sound Forge as an editor to bring the songs together. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ALLENST@aol.com Subject: Re: (orb) Cydonia track order Date: 28 Jul 2000 13:41:13 EDT johng@engberganderson.com writes: << In my (limited) experience, there's usually a *worse* "gap" between MP3 tracks that are meant to be seamlessly mixed than I've noticed with the Cydonia tracks.

JG >> I concur. Having just spent hours over the past 3 days re-editing the tunes in Wavelab, I can say that most of the decoded waves had a section of the ending waveform directly repeated and pasted on the end along with a snippet of other waveform which didnt fit there. If you listened closely, you could hear a sort of out of sync loop and time glitch when it kicked to the next song. I tried decoding using a couple different programs and got the same results. I also found a few glitches within the middle of songs, evident on the downloaded MP3s. So after alot of time looking at tunes at the sample level waveforms, I finally have a removed a few glitches and smoothed the transitions so they sound as intended. Overall, the MP3s do seem to fit quite nicely, though taking the time to clean them up really does make it much nicer if you try to make your own continuous play MP3 or CD.

I think the vocal tracks at the beginnning are a great way to start the album. I don't think I would classify track 2 as a 'vocal' track, though. I don't know if my musical tastes are evolving with the Orb, of if the Orb is evolving my musical tastes, but Cydonia (this version, anyway) has to be one of my all-time favourites. james # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Eben Sorkin" Subject: (orb) About this Cydonia thing.... Date: 28 Jul 2000 11:51:16 -0700 I have been listening to the new orb alot now & this is my experience: At first it wasn't all that wonderful. It was very nice but i felt like the complaining list members - that Cydonia it wasn't a great leap ahead - just more Orblivion with a twist - which was good but not so great as all the others - IMNSHO of course. Then something wonderful happened, like alot of music that ends up being my favorite stuff in the long term, Cydonia started to grow on me - it's still growing. This never happend with Orblivon. Except with Toxigene. That was the BOMB! Keep spining it - it will probably grow on you too. There is more here than meets the ear right away - just like OT. Give it time folks. Let it sink in. I also think that all the waiting for Cydonia has made everybody (including me) impatient for another Mind Blowing Experience. MBEs don't happen on demand. The other tghing is that there is no telling whther the released version won't be sharper & tighter than this one. For example: if you listen to "U.F.Orb" & then the same song on U.F.Off it sounds sweeter & bigger & more mind blowing. I like both but it may be that a bigger sweeter sound awaits!!! Smiley, do you know anything about the tweakage that went into UFOFF? LX & company have done a really fab job for quite a while now. I would happly hand over $50 to the Orb just to say thanks for everything so far - they can do whatever they want as far as I am concerned - even sell out like champs next time - if thats what they want. I have no issues with them.

I don't think any artist does that. While reading through the history of Information Society (www.insoc.org) the lead artist had a long bit about the order and selection of tracks on their second album, Hack.

Butch Vig is great and all, but it's Jack Endino that really defined the Seattle / Sub Pop sound for me. When the Fluid and Nirvana started recording with Butch and Mudhoney starting recording with Billy Childish is when the whole cohesiveness of the Seattle / Sub Pop sound started to fall apart for me. Not to mention the whole co-opting of the scene by the mainstream, which would have certainly been less likely to happen with an Endino production, IMO. > If the Orb came out with another OT we all would say, > I herd [sic] that already. I hate to sound like a broken record, but speak for yourself. There are many who have already posted to the list recently about Cydonia who've made it pretty obvious that they would have *preferred* another OT. Maybe we should all avoid talking in such absolutes when we're really expressing personal opinions, no? > To me, The Orb is grate [sic]...

Opinions are like assholes: everybody has one. I think we'd all do well to keep that in mind and stop trying to project our own opinions and reactions to Cydonia onto everyone else. But that doesn't mean I don't want to hear them; on the contrary, please keep them coming! I personally enjoy reading all the "reviews," but bristle at absolutes like "The Orb is ______" or "The Orb isn't ______" or "nobody likes _____" or "everybody likes _____" or "the best Orb album was _____" or what-have-you.

I get asked all the time what kind of music I play and at first I tried to explain it to people but now I just say country. Its not country but its not ambient. Actually I try to mix it all up in a single song if I can, as I said B4, you could run Club MTV through a few FX and it would sound like "ambient" music. And thats what I do, get a fucken bad ass beat going, get some generic break going and when you think you are ready to get up and dance I'll run it through some reverb and a tap delay and brake it down so you sit back down. Its not about a style, its about your style. You may not like Cydonia or Live 93' or ultraworld but thats the Orb. So do you like the Orb?

I balked at the price once before (27 UKP) but was quick to buy at 10 UKP. Don't remember if this was mentioned when it came out, but it has a very Pink Floyd style label. The "headside" has a body (upper torso) coming out of the water arms extended and the "legside" has the bottom portion just entering the water. A surprise for me was having a William Orbit mix on the b-side which I was unaware of. The cat. # is hard to read so used the magnifying glass 12 RW 101 which is different than the discography (Lazlo take note). Also my copy seems to have come from a record pool in the UK and came with an insert which reads: "Rick Wright vs The Orb & William Orbit - Here's another one of those sneaky P.O.P. specials - a limited edition, DJ only gem! Pink Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright, whose solo album Broken China was released on October 7th has recently collaborated with The Orb (our hero's) and William Orbit on several tracks. Here you have two Orb remixes of "Runaway" flipped by William Orbit and Matt Ducasse's reworking of Night of 1000 Furry Toys. Out there, experimental, weird and wonderful? Your opinions are vital." Wanted to also mention that Arling & Cameron were da shit at club Fais Do Do this past Saturday night. They played for an hour and a half. On sale were all of their albums and singles CD and vinyl!! The lp's were $10 and singles $6. plus they were selling white label copies of a new 12" single for $6 which I got autographed after the show. Why can't more groups do this at their gigs?

Vajda) Subject: (orb) Release Dates and Cydonia Review Date: 31 Jul 2000 15:55:24 -0400 Orbies, US Release Date: Does anybody know about the US release date for Cydonia? The only date I've heard so far is October 23rd, but I faintly recall release dates for older Orb albums being later than European dates. I don't suppose anything has been said about a tour for the album? Cydonia Review: At first I thought Cydonia was sort of like Orblivion and sprinkled with hints of Pomme Fritz. Originally my favorite song had to be Terminus. That song seems VERY reminiscent to Plateau. Excuse me for saying this but I felt that Once More was a bit poppy, sort of like a new Little Fluffy Clouds. I'm not saying that Little Fluffy Clouds was poppy, but since it was accepted into the pop market, it's regarded that way. This is only an opinion. If you listen closely there are some striking similarities: pretty girl's voice, bassline that moves in fourths, beautiful sounds that develop into the chorus. There are some similarities. Now don't get me wrong, I love Once More. LX might not have done this consciously, or maybe I'm the only one who thinks this is even true! Now its my favorite song on the album! As far as the direction Orb is taking with the album, I'm totally into it. I very much enjoy LX's choice of beats on the album. The beat manipulation on Promis is amazing. There is nothing Orb can't do in the realm of electronic music. _________________________________________________ Jim Vajda jim_vajda@po.tcs.k12.oh.us http://po.tcs.k12.oh.us/~jim_vajda/ "Atheism is a non-profit organization" -George Carlin # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sean Wolfe" Subject: Re: (orb) Release Dates and Cydonia Review Date: 31 Jul 2000 16:56:52 -0400 > Orbies, > > US Release Date: > > Does anybody know about the US release date for Cydonia?
