But I have known people who have said "So-and-so is about to call me." scant seconds before that person calls them, and who do this a bit more often than could be accounted for by pure chance. Once or twice in a year is coincidence, but once or twice per week isn't. And there's no rational explanation for it. And no rational way to study it because we simply don't know enough about humans to know what to look for and how to interpret what we find. > If you think otherwise, i'd love to hear your explanation for what > exactly is happening?! Damned if I know. And I'll probably never know. This is one of those phenomena that can't be rationally explained without intimate knowledge of the human body on a scale that we just don't have the technology to comprehend. Did I mention that there's a fairly strong conjecture that the human nervous system uses quantum mechanical effects for computation? This means that we may never be able to understand exactly how the brain processes information because it's a quantum computer... 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

If you think otherwise, > i'd love to hear your explanation for what exactly is happening?! ===>I agree 100%. It's amazing to me that even in this day and age, people still actually *believe* in psychic phenomenon. 100% of all supposed psychic/paranormal phenomenon can be attributed to primarily three things: 1.) hoaxes (e.g., crop circles, Loch Ness Monster, sasquatch, et. al); 2.) misperception/wild imaginations (e.g., ghosts, UFOs, et. al); and 3.) coincidence (e.g., thinking of a song, turning the radio on, and "Wow! It's playing right now!"). James "The Amazing" Randi (a professional magician who is in the same camp as Penn & Teller) spends a great deal of his time debunking these myths. He established (sometime in the 1970s) a reward of $10,000 US to ANYONE who could prove that he or she possesses genuine psychic phenomenon. To this date, no one has claimed the prize. As an hysterically funny aside, Uri Geller (I think that's his name) has sued Randi--thus far unsuccessfully--several times for defamation of character, because Randi called Geller a fake to his face on the Tonight Show when Johnny Carson still hosted it. James Randi basically duplicated the exact same "feat" that Geller performed--only difference was, Randi assured the audience that it was NOT psychokinesis. (Geller, if you don't already know, is the guy who supposedly bends spoons just by thinking about it. As Dr. Evil would say: "Riiiiiiiight.") ;-) There are many unexplained things that still exist in the world today--for example, how Christina Agorilla (or whatever the hell her name is) can outsell the Orb--yet none of this is due to paranormal phenomona.

All together now: The Orb had nothing to do with the Pink Floyd "Trance" mixes. Ever. It's like saying that Boy George or Elvis did all of the KLF's ambient material, simply because they are sampled on Chill Out. ;) This *is* mentioned in the discography, right?

Speaking as a Discordian, I agree with you, BUT I think that we still lack a fundamental understanding of the life cycle of brightly colored machine tools when exposed to the powerful stressor of the day-glo giraffe. I don't think we can understand anything until we understand ourselves. Until we understand our perception, by which we measure the rest of the universe. Until then everything will be subjectively subjective, instead of objectively subjective. The difference is of course inscrutable. Just like that man you saw at Taco Bell a week ago who very carefully picked all of the bean skins out of his bean and cheese burrito, and then stared intently at his left shoe while he ate. I think he was probably trying to qualitatively assess the mechanism of his self-awareness, but he might have just been meditating on the metapattern of abstract patterns in nature. > Like the Saturday Night Live skit with Steve Martin as a doctor in the > middle ages: "Why, just 50 years ago we would have said this was > attributed to an evil spell, but now we know it is a dwarf living > inside your body that's causing your sickness" And now we know that it's actually a manifestation of Xibo, the evil net.god of paranoid schizophrenia who is causing you to think about investment strategies, public opinion polls, and the evil Deros from inside the Hollow Earth. > fuck all that science shit though, I'm still trying to figure out how they > made "Orbus Terrarum" Very carefully? :) 'james -- James A.

You would enjoy a performance artist I saw at last years Burning Man Festival. He danced on stage in a grounded faraday cage suit and gauntlets. While he danced high voltage sparks leapt to him from this massive Tesla coil in the center of the stage. Amazing stuff. B) Back to unproven phenomena. My sister attended a beginners "dowsers evening class". By the end of the course just about everyone there (blindfolded) could locate buried water pipes, metal boxes, etc. All with only the aid of a simple divining rod. How can this be explained? Electromagnetic resonance? C) Its really strange how Cydonia has grown on me, after all this time.

Date: 02 Dec 2000 00:57:10 -0800 (PST) Per: Recent conversations between Simon Bennett and James A. Crippen: >I'm still working my way through a textbook on neurology, and maybe when I >finish the section on consciousness and thinking I'll have more to say.

Interesting topic - informative for orb amateur remixers. Miles away from the Orb, I know, but does the book have any explanation for two strange unconscious perceptual phenomena that are always happening to me? 1) The awareness that one has that someone is watching them. Stare at someone for a while and they will start to look around until they find who is watching them. 2) The ability (perhaps coincidence) to think of someone, then the next moment they telephone you. While this thread is not directly Orb-related, it is extremely interesting and very much in the vein of what the Orb is all about (IMHO). Apologies to the purists out there. Regardless of how much of a skeptic you are, there is much about human awareness, consciousness and perception that we don't understand and can't explain. Homing pigeons use their ability to sense the earth's magnetic force to find their way. I assert that we are quite capable of perceiving this force. Why 'can't' we? Well, I am not going to try to explain this, although my guess would be based in evolutionary theory that the need to do so wasn't there after some point in human civilization. One could also draw from religion, many religions have stories about a time when people lived with a deeper awareness of (God, nature, whatever), and then some bad shit went down, etc., and we lost this ability. The 'force' of a stare could also, in theory, be percievable. Another aspect of human awareness can be explained by telling a short story. A good friend of mine was rendered almost completely blind in his late 20's. As a result, his other senses increased their respective abilities. It seems clear to me that his hands, ears, etc. were CAPABLE of this heightened level of awareness before his blindness. There was just no need. But why can't that increased awareness be attained without being accompanied by the permanant loss of another sense? I think it can, again, theoretically.

I've only > given it a couple of listens, but to honest I'm not that keen on the new tracks. > I'd be interested in anyone else's opinion. don't forget that 'f(r)eely wheely' was dropped on v2, and replaced with 'jam on yer honey', fairly soon after v1 appeared... ...the 11-track, and now the 14-track reworkings both appeared after Andy Hughes left earlier this year. as well as the two tracks mentioned above, 'ralf' and 'yungle' have been dropped from the most recent versions. i think the album re-jig was for two reasons - this is all IMHO, by the way: 1. to make it 'fresher' - at least two of 'freely wheely', 'jam on yer honey' and 'bicycles and tricycles' were planned to be b-sides to possible singles, for instance, and not really album-strength material. 2. to make it more Alex's album, after Andy left - 'yungle' (my favourite track, btw) was definately more of an 'Andy' track, rather than an 'Alex' track. again - this is _purely_ my own interpretation. i haven't spoken to andy for over six months, and nobody at island or the band's management has said anything to me either. i would agree that some of the new tracks ('egnable', 'firestar', '1,1,1') do seem to just be there as 'filler'. the 'egnable' track, which is fil speaking, has been used in live stuff before (but it IS still pretty funny though, and very 'orb')... ...i wasn't too keen on the two new vocal tracks on first listen either. however, 'centuries' (aki vocals) and 'plum island' (nina walsh) have both grown on me with repeated plays - especially 'plum island', which i really like. i also really like the full-length 'hamlet of kings'. for some reason, i think that 'edm' is a piss-take...'Electronic Dance Music' maybe??? again, i have no evidence to back this up and it's just fevered conjecture from what i laughingly refer to as my 'mind'. ;-) whatever, i still quite like it anyway. 'thursday's keeper' is a good track too - a blend of reggae, drum and bass, and techno influences. it did take me a LONG time to get used to the 14-track version of 'cydonia'. i thought that v1 was a GREAT album, and was very used to it. however, it was two years ago now... ...i do think that maybe there's been a little too much messing around with the final version, but that: i. it's still a bloody good album ii. overall, that the 'messing about' has been positive - five full new tracks can't be sniffed at, and none of them are dogs. however, i'm still a little sad that 'yungle' won't see a commercial release now, as it's a fantastic track. > Also, is it me or have the "old" tracks been tweaked for the latest release? yep - 'once more', 'a mile long lump of lard' and 'terminus' have all been 'tweaked'. i think that the previous version of 'once more' is a better/tighter single mix than the new album version, but i do like the new versions of the latter two tracks. interestingly, the 'once more radio edit' on the new promo cd seems more like the older version than the newer one to me, but maybe i'm imagining it (or the edit has taken out the bits that i thought detracted from the new album version). my head hurts. as far as i can tell, 'promis', 'ghost dancing' and 'turn it down' are the same, but i might be wrong. > Last question for now - What do Jam on yer honey & Bicycles > and Tricycles sound like? 'jam on yer honey'??? a pretty uptempo bass and synth track, that worked as a good lead-in to the even more uptempo 'yungle', and a better track than 'f(r)eely wheely' i thought. 'bicycles & tricycles'??? from what i can remember of it, it was probably the best of the three tracks under consideration for b-sides. i don't think it appeared on v1 or v2, mainly due to the fact that it was over 10 minutes long at the 'first edits' stage and there just wasn't the room. quite a slow-burner, with a 'towers of dub'(ish) bass line through most of it... ...maybe it'll make a reappearance at some point, but nothing that i'm aware of at present. cheers, --- 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: Dave Kiernan Subject: Re: (orb) I'm back from the Englewood CO LX/Juno gig...

I wonder why it's not considered more consistent to believe that while many *many* claims of the psychic/paranormal variety are misperceptions or just plain crap, there are more than enough persistently unexplained or verifiable cases to merit at least serious attention. A good example of a scientist who follows this line of reasoning is UFO researcher Jacques Vallee, and I direct interested readers to his book /Revelation/, where he brilliantly manages to both debunk UFO mythology while confirming that a very real phenomenon exists. Likewise, the admirable stunts of Doug & Dave and their ilk do not account for the daily appearance of agroglyphs ("crop circles") on every continent. >James "The Amazing" Randi (a professional magician who is >in the same camp as Penn & Teller) spends a great deal of his >time debunking these myths.

Well, no one who seriously possessed such abilities would be interested in such a "prize." I recommend checking out the humble Javanese acupuncturist John Chang, documented in the "Ring of Fire" PBS series and more recently in the book "The Magus of Java." >(Geller, if you don't already know, is the guy who supposedly >bends spoons just by thinking about it.

It is my understanding that he has done much wilder stuff than bending spoons, more akin to what that Blaine fellow is doing now.

Au contraire! It *must* be voodoo mind control demon possession ... there's no other explanation. =) Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox now. It's just that I've been researching this stuff independently for almost 15 years and I find the "100% crap" conclusion to be -- if you will -- wild and implausible. I'll settle for 95%. Besides, things more bizarre than these happen all the time without raising hackles (e.g. hypnosis) -- and, if people can do them, they aren't paranormal any more, are they? Just through in some OT-ness, I did a remix of "Saturn" from Space a while back for the /Space Out/ compilation ... if anyone wants to hear it ... -=Seofon # 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: "E O" Subject: (orb) mp3 for the oaa Date: 03 Dec 2000 19:42:17 I'd like to throw some stuff up on the oaa, but have never made an mp3 before.

I doubt this will help, but when I was at Uni and encoding from a Mac, I just slaved the school's Unix system to do it, and I think I used Lame encoder with a Unix build. Hehe. 1.) place lame encoder, etc in student executable (.bin) directory) 2.) place .aiff's (.wav's, etc) into Unix temp space. 3.) output to Unix temp space. 4.) download .mp3's to the mac. of course, I don't think the school would recommend that. hehe. otherwise, just go to mp3.com and click on software-> encoders-> mac they should have all you need. -b # 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: djblue@graffiti.net Subject: (orb) (OT) freedrive?

A man who knows what he's talking about. Likewise I think Yungle was/is the best track on Cydonia v1.0. I can see why it was pulled i.e. to get rid of Andy's [Falconer?] dabs on the album. It's a shame. Perhaps it could come out as a 12" [promo only] as it's more suited to that than being stuck on the last 3rd of an LP. It's obviously a homage to early 90's Drum and Bass [Jungle, geddit?] but it works for me..... At least Turn it down is still on there. They 'ad a Beeeer allowance. True, Egnable is pure early 90's orb but I can't help the feeling that it's a little staged rather than sampled. Lump of lard is actually better and a little clearer IMO. It took a while for Cydonia to grow on me, but when it did it was there. Not that it matters in the least, but I'm sure Once More is top 5 material when it actually gets released. I hope that it's the album version which gets airplay, as I've heard some of the remixes and have the "steamroller mix" on acetate [which is utter comercial shite IMO]. No too sure about Centuries, the backing track doesn't seem to have any sort of substance to it. Plum Island, Hamlet of Kings and 1,1,1 also seem to be lacking something, and like you say I just smell filler. I think it will grow like the last one, but I'm not convinced yet. Ironically EDM seems to have some balls and is more of an "instant" track. Thursday's keeper is a almost a mini Yungle with some electronic tweakery thrown in, but falls short of the mark. You obviously know someone @ Island. How do they feel about people uploading their [in most cases unfinished] tracks onto the Internet? Are they going to pull a Metallica with Napster? To me I can't see a problem as I know I'm going to buy the LP and all the singles [in multiple formats] like I always do. If someone can download half the tracks off the LP from the Internet and then make up their mind one way or the other, then surely that is a good thing? I think Island and WAU! have had their money's worth from me in the past. I mean, there can't be many copies of the V3 [4?] doing the rounds, but look how excited and fired up it's getting people. That's what promo's are far IMO. enough for now...

Basically, the guy is GOOD, but he's only as good as his audience is GAULLIBLE (did I spell that right?) My question is this: if psychics exist, then why aren't these assholes hitting the lottery every week?!? They make generalizations until they get a reaction. For example, I could claim to know the "troubles" of people of this list, by saying, "I sense that someone is experience a tremendous amount of stress right now...someone is moving, or knows someone who has moved away...and your loss that has resulted from this move is causing you great anxiety." I would almost be willing to be a year's salary that SOMEONE on this list is undergoing some similar stress. And before you say, "Yeah, you just threw a generalization out there," I will saying the same thing about people like that guy on the Sci-Fi Channel. I watched the show for a little bit, and he was doing the SAME THING. Difference is, he does this (apparently) for a living--EVERY DAY, I would guess. He's essentially an unscrupolous magician. I hate to sound cliche, but it's the oldest trick in the book. Basically, 1.) he makes generalizations until he gets a positive reaction (and it is statistically unlikely NOT to happen), and 2.) after the reaction, he lets the person he's "reading" fill in the blanks. This is why all those 900 number "psychic hotlines" are such big business. Maybe I'll go into that trade, and make a few million.... ;-) Vince # 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: "Agust 'Nemesis1' Arni Jonsson" Subject: RE: (orb) john edward Date: 05 Dec 2000 02:03:15 +0000 all I can say about this thread is... don't knock stuff you don't have personal first hand experience about. and I'm not even refering to psychics on tv. being a sceptic is one thing... being a sceptic with a closed mind is another thing. nuff said. /me needs sleep /me also needs a new job ;) and money hmm ;) --- Agust "Nemesis1" - aaj@centrum.is - ICQ: 1290264 - http://nemesis1.cjb.net free your :) [tm] # 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@slip.net (Seofon) Subject: (orb) HIA Speedlearn 12" Date: 04 Dec 2000 23:10:09 -0800 Can anyone out there who has Higher Intelligence Agency's "Speedlearn" 12-inch get in touch with me privately?

Since this keeps coming up, I'd like to point out that in addition to the Mad Professor song from which the original sample apparently comes, there's a track by Depth Charge (I *think* it's "Dead By Dawn" or "Depth Charge" (either way it's on the 9 Deadly Venoms singles collection)) that samples the same "ah-wah-wah-wah" bit.

Also, at the DC show, he played a mix of Once More that I hadn't heard before.. and I didn't really like as much as the original *shrug*, is that one of the ones on the single that people are talking about? Also, as a mini-review, I thought Alex's DJing wasn't too great, at some points he had things screetching so loud that half the audience had to cover their ears... people didn't look too happy about his DJing (at least the first time, I had to leave soon after Juno Reactor because my ride had to leave)... but Juno Reactor was, IMHO, excellent, they really had people going, there were only a couple songs that didn't work well (Pistolero, even though I love it, really doesn't work with African drummers playing along). ---- Jeff Script kiddies taste like chicken # 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: Chris Woodfield Subject: Re: (orb) "Blue Room" vocal sample?

If so then that's taken from Good, Bad & Ugly and [been a while since I watched it].

Well, he did two albums (Lust and Lust 2) within the last coupla years... three if you count the Electro-Boogie Shape Shifter mix album... I *highly* recommend the mix album. I'd say it's even better than the Hawtin mix album, in a similar vein. There was also an album (Ito Calculus) released under his Octagon Man guise, but I can't recommmend that one.

He does not make broad generalizations. That only works when you deal with a person one on one. Example: "I sense that you are a very ambitious person". That's a statement that everyone would like to believe is true about themselves, and often do. After you bait your sucker with several generalizations you then move on to future predictions. The problem is he'd have the whole audience raising their hands, because each one would believe themselves to be an ambitious person. J. Edward on the other hand, gets so specific it's uncanny. Example: "Did you find a feather on the ground?" "Did you tell her it was a gift from her father?" The answer was yes in both cases. If nothing else, he has the ability/charisma to make people believe very specific events that never actually happened. If you haven't seen it the show is worth checking out. # 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: Matt.Skinner@kvaerner.com Subject: RE: (orb) "Blue Room" vocal sample?

Norton" Subject: (orb) Cali shows, license plates and the new album Date: 06 Dec 2000 12:34:22 -0800 Hello My Lovely Orb Friends! I am sorry this post is belated, but I was out of the country for a week = and unable to respond to Ed=92s prompt in my direction. Show-wise, I attended all three So-Cal shows. The first, at Vynyl in Hollywood, I felt was Alex=92s best dj set, but there was a problem with = his line-in to Ben=92s setup, so he wasn=92t able to mix along with Juno=92s = live set. The sound wasn=92t so great either, but as I said, Alex=92s set rocked. = I heard Luke Slater/All Exhale, Satellite Serenade, the Suns of Arqu remix from t= he Tribal Futures comp., Underworld, some classic Orb like AHEG=85 , Blue Ro= om, and the murky LFC other=92s have mentioned, O=92locco, Luciana, Richard J= ames =96 all great stuff!! The Galaxy show had kind of a weird crowd, and the dan= ce floor was tiny, but Alex through down another great set, and this time th= e line-in worked. He has this great KAOS pad that he uses along with vinyl and cd=92s =96 it makes for some crazy mixes. Lots of new Cyd was played including EDM and Thursday=92s Keeper. I would say Vynyl was more trance= y than Galaxy, which was more dub, reggae, killer drums and lots of Aisha/Creator/Mad Prof. As Ed mentioned, the show ended early. The third show, in my hometown of San Diego went pretty well also. No sound proble= ms, but crowd wise, this was the worst!! Don=92t people know that dayglow, b= uff attitudes and K are out? Anyway, this crowd didn=92t know when to dance,= how to dance or respond to most of Alex=92s set, though the drummers with JR = got some good response. I don=92t think I even need to say how awesome JR is live =96 that seems to be the general consensus so far on the list. The = only problem seems to sometimes be stage size =96 I=92d love to see these guys= at the Warfield in SF!!! This kinda leads me into my next statement I want to make =96 I=92ve been reading a lot of gentle criticism of LX=92s dj style/skills. The way I se= e it, Alex spins (a) what grooves him at the time and (b) somewhat what the cro= wd needs/deserves. At the San Diego show, his set after JR was all of about half an hour, then DJ =93Cameron=94 came on and promptly through down som= e cheesy remix of Desert Rose by Sting, which the crowd loved. So, no knoc= k against Sting or Alex, but SD obviously just wasn=92t prepared for what c= ame their way. I know there=92s a lot of technically great dj=92s out there,= but I=92 m more of a substance chick myself. So some records get played till the end, and some beats don=92t immediately match up =96 big deal! Where els= e are you gonna here samples about beer, a-bombs or learning a foreign language= ? And especially thrown over some great great tracks as I mentioned above. = I guess if you want technical, catch Paul Oakenfold=92s tour, but if you wa= nt substance with humor thrown down by a guy with great floppy hats, LX is y= our man. :-) Anyway, this post is almost outta control =96 I would like to briefly res= pond to Matt Skinner and Smiley=92s impressions of the new Cyd and the Once Mo= re singles. As a whole, I like the 14 track Cydonia, though I disagree with Matt =96 I prefer the earlier version of Mile Long Lump Of Lard. Smiley=92= s on the mark re: Promis, Ghostdancing and Turn it Down remaining the same, an= d stating that Egnable is a very Orb track. No filler IMO =96 it=92s freak= in hilarious. I like the changes to Terminus, but miss the older version of Once More. Oh well =96 the Cauty remix kicks butt, the rest (Bedrock and= Mark Pritchard namely) I think are your typical resident dj air plays =96 noth= ing to write home about. Let=92s remember that the Orb is going to continue to grow and change and evolve, which is what I would hope everyone on this list would want, whic= h is what I expect from myself and those around me =96 to grow. There=92s = more beats, more vocals, more lots of stuff, but it=92s still ORB. I find som= e very evocative moments on this new album, and all my expected Orb humor a= nd influences. So congrats Alex on surviving the last two years of turmoil, and putting out another timeless piece of genious!

The subject of most psychic readings is another person, not future events.

This happens all the time, and with a little practice and charisma anyone could doubtless go into the business for themselves. But consider: If you tell me a load of stuff, and I get a lot out of it and improve my life, and it turns out that what you told me was utter nonsense that you just made up, have you really done me a disservice? My point is that real psychics exist, and so do charlatans. Good plumbers exist, and so do incompetents. A genuine inter-dimensional phenomenon exists, and so does red herring UFO mythology. Diamond exists, and so does cubic zirconium. It's up to the individual to do their homework and decide what's true for them. >GAULLIBLE (did I spell that right?) Yes!

I went to see LX and Juno Reactor (mostly for LX) at The Cage, a usually Gothic scene, small club in Washington, DC. LX came on about 10pm with a very rough start. I thought he was just getting warmed up and decided not to judge too harshly. This was a very small club and not very many people were there, so it was more of a treat because it seemed LX was putting on a personal show for his fans. He played 6 tracks from the 14 track cydonia. How do I know this? Well, a friend walked up to LX when Juno was on and asked if he had time to smoke, with that LX led 5 of us to his tour bus, locked the door, and we sat and chilled with him. He was extremely chit chatty and extremely down to earth. My boyfriend's dream literally came true that night. He passed on a cd of his music onto the person responsable for getting him into music and in turn LX gave him the 14 track cydonia. It all felt like a dream to me to be there...very surreal. LX said the sound check person used their own needles, so when he went on, it was all wrong. He also said he was suppose to do the set with Juno, but the drum by his tables made the needles bounce too much, so that was scratched. I loved some of his comments like "I'm just a DJ" and "It's all about the music." He was very humble and couldn't understand why some people acted like he was a pop star or something of the like. He was definitely tired that night and couldn't wait to get back home to his girlfriend. Juno did an excellent show, and never having seen them before, I was very impressed. LX came on again at about 12:30 (I think...my head was still on cloud 9) and tired to play a set to an empty club (almost empty except for a handful of us) while they began breaking down the stage. Overall, it was a pleasure to meet paterson and of course that was the highlight of the evening. It didn't matter that he had a rough first set, because we had the opportunity to find out from him directly why it was so rough. For those people who go to see him, understand that the man is incredible, and there is always a behind the scene reason for why sometimes an incredibly skilled person doesn't pull a show over very well. That's what I walked away with.

I've seen more than one reference to an Organic Orb set that is substantially longer than the one in common circulation, which is the entirety of the KROQ broadcast. However, I don't have it, so I can't say for sure; and the sources for it that I'm currently aware of are not ones that I would in any way promote (so don't ask). (Also, to bring it back to my earlier question, given that they were in the same venue just a couple of months apart, the longer "Organic" show could also simply be a mislabeled Enit set.)

Date: 12 Dec 2000 18:19:28 -0000 Obviously this is pure supposition, but I'd argue that any pictures were likely to be manufactured i.e. not an organic picture such as a flower as on the discography. I'm basing this on previous covers etc with probably UFOff and Huge....having "real" images on them. I'd have thought that it might have some sort of pic of the "face" on Mars, but I dunno how much Island would have to pay NASA for that. It'd be worth every penny. Anyone know if the Vinyl version will be 2x12"s? The Orb typically do that as it's better sound quality than a normal 33rpm LP. Can we also expect longer mixes than the cd version as per Orbus Terrarum? I hope so.

I like the smooth transitions from heavily rhythmical sections to very aethereal parts. A few questions. What's the artist's name again? What should I file it under in my MP3 archives? And what ID3 tags should I give it? Does this person have any other works available on- or offline, or is this their first release? 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

After downloading the ones on the various FTP sites, I must confess that after longing for years to see these, they seemed prety lame. Granted, it would be difficult to make videos on the same awesome level that the Orb's music exists, but geez - you'd think they should have at least tried. My apologies if the person who created them is on this list, but it looks like most of them were made in an afternoon with nothing more than a cheap camcorder and a copy of After Effects. I dunno - maybe this was due to budget issues, in which case I will retract these comments. There is one exception - the one for Asylum is pretty cool and imaginative (and took loads of effort, by the look of it). I also saw the one for Pomme Fritz a few years ago on TV, and that was really well done as well (I'd love to see that on the FTP site). Anybody else have thoughts or comments on this?

Absolutely. I don't think they are crap at all. Many of the videos that were made by electronic artists in the early 90's weren't technically brilliant or lavishly over indulgent. A bit of home made super 8 or some cheap stock footage, maybe some cgi thrown in and Bob's yer Uncle's life partner. Worked fine for me then and still does.

Queen " Bohemian rhapsody" was one of the first ever made (as an industry ploy, but the Beatles did videos for "Strawberry fields forever" for example). I still think these Orb videos are rather cheesy ("Perpetual dawn" being the worst IMHO), but maybe The Orb doesn't need to have videos, their tracks already create images in your mind.

Austin opened up with King Koffee [sp?] from the butthole surfers doing his little electronic/jackofficers thing, and then the Orb. Gibby Haynes was jamming! spent the night in San Marcos with an old friend of mine and the drove to dallas the next day, where the the orb OPENED UP for the chemical brothers... but my perspective says the chemical brothers had the closing duties. :) LX opened up with pounding techno dj set and then went into some jungle, and then the orb played. it was a nice performance, they were set up in sort of a triangle or pyramid, and the light show was incredible. the venue was the Bomb Factory and it was packed! they has this incredible 5 or 6 speaker setup, where certain sounds/equipment would come through specific speakers creating an "orb" effect for the peeps in the middle area. i remember Pink Floyd also did this for the division bell at Rice University. ok gotta go! now playing [on the cpu next to me]: mistress barbara @ community, chicago http://www.supersphere.com/play/web2.supersphere.com/Content/TV/mistressbarbara092500.rm p.s.

I finally bought Orblivion a few weeks ago, and although I'd heard some people say it was wonderful, or their favorite, I have to admit that I was sorely disappointed. Very disappointed. Some of the tracks on U.F.Off grated on my ears the first few times I'd heard them, but eventually I got used to them and even began to like the harsh sound. But Orblivion really got under my skin.

Now, that's a little extreme. I really like some of the tracks on v1, like Promis, for instance. Terminus is also a favorite of mine. Ghost Dancing is pretty good too, although it teeters on the edge of pop noise now and then in the song. Mile Long Lump Of Lard absolutely sucks, I think. It's nothing but irritating, grating noise. Perhaps this appeals to those who enjoy illbient, and maybe that legitimizes the track somewhat, but I still won't like it. Yungle is okay, but it's a bit too repetetetive on somewhat irritating themes. Turn It Down is neat, though. I think that as long as they keep Once More, Promis, Ghost Dancing, and Terminus then they'll have a respectable album. Musicians can't put out albums that please everyone, but at least some of the tracks will please most of the people. That's the hope, anyway. I can't say that I don't love Orb's classic works like LFC, Blue Room, and OOBE. But I can understand how LX could be getting tired of them after 8 years or so. I can see how they'd get boring after a while. I think he should take some inspiration from what Thomas Fehlmann's doing lately -- that's some really enjoyable, playful stuff. 'james -- James A.

I have a LOT of bands that I love, but virtually every one of them has at least one album that I think sucks. I think we compare those albums that we dislike to the bands' entire catalog. I myself didn't care for Orblivion, but then again, I'm comparing Orblivion to the Orb's catalog. In other words, it sucks (IMHO) compared to the Orb's other works...it DOESN'T suck in relation to, say, Britney Spears.... Here are some other favorite bands/artists of mine, and albums they've released that I think suck: The Cramps: Look Mom! No Head (great title, but otherwise...) Donald Fagen: Kamakiriad Pink Floyd: The Wall (yes, I truly detest that album) Van Halen: Diver Down (the only bad David Lee Roth VH release) Tangerine Dream: Optical Race Deep Forest: Comparsa Devo: Shout! Elvis Hitler: Supersadomasochisticexpialidotious Dead Kennedys: Bedtime for Democracy Styx: Kilroy Was Here My point is this: it's fine to like every release from your favorite band or artist, but just because I (or someone else) may not like every album does not make me (nor anyone else) any less of a fan. If I were not a fan, I wouldn't be on this list...and I think that goes for everyone else on this list, too. In fact, I can honestly say that this is the ONLY non-work-related list that I am on.... If I were on it only to stir up trouble, I'd go for a bigger target like, say, Janis Joplin or Aerosmith.... Happy Festivus all!

Vince pretty much summed it up. All bands make less-than-stellar albums, and with the Orb's longevity it was bound to happen. My dissappointment is that I see Cydonia as an attempt to break into the mainstream market and compromise their sound to gain a wider audience. I'm all for evolution and growing - there's no need to make another U.F.Orb or Orbvs Terrarvm, but making an album with several vocal tracks(what is the count up to now, 5 vocal tracks?) kind of eliminates the reason I first got into the Orb - intense atmoshperic beats without the need to concentrate or focus on words. It's difficult to have an OOBE when someone's whispering shit in your ear. Unless it's "a m*rijuana bomb was ejected from a small aircraft" I kept trying with Cydonia, but the words took me to a place I didn't want to be. bring back the humour!!! ***** killer _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.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: "Howat, Simon" Subject: (orb) pink floyd mixes and other bits Date: 20 Dec 2000 17:46:33 -0000 Well, finally, I thought it was time to listen to those 'so-called' pink floyd orb remixes. I'm so glad that the mixes are not by the orb, otherwise I'd be joing in in the negative vibe orgy that has prevailed since somebody slagged off orblivion. Incidentally, the guy who slagged off orblivion......how come you had the cydonia pre-release before the orblivion release? This has been preying on my mind slightly as you have got them out of order somewhat. I think a lot of LPs you have to take in the context in which they were released - orblivion was released some time ago now, and next to Cydonia it seems rather old hat, but it's got its good bits. If I listened to ABTU now instead of 1991, I'd almost certainly never love it in the immense way that I do.

"I was pleasantly touched by Barbara's debut album of autumn 1998 Vermona ET 6-1. With organ as her main instrument, the work was like an homage to the Czech organ of the same name, through without the trash quality. In that album Morgenstern melded warm analog sounds from the past and nineties beats in a techno-design of song writing, home recording and electronica, without retro-lounge-cuteness either. You could have called that work Indietronic, but the term didn`t exist at the time. Even now, two years later, it won`t fit. yet it comes to mind, because Fjorden has obviously been recorded with new equipment and new technique. Still working out of her own studio, using sampler and sequencer in her instrumentation, Barbara Morgenstern tells us stories. Her wonderful, heartbreaking voice, adds context to the beats and sounds. Fjorden comes across as familiar & intimate. This album is a clear step forward, without throwing the past overbard -- with its warm analog sound, is like a good friend visiting -- rotating in your CD player. You are not alone. Barbara Morgenstern is there with her music. And it`s wonderful that she`s there!" -- Jan Ole Jöhnk, Ende ......................................................................... ... ..................... sig....................................................... ............................. i have neither name nor mumber .............. .........nor a hook to hang a hook upon .................... ......................................................................... ....... ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Date: 21 Dec 2000 08:42:25 -0800 I feel compelled to add my $0.02 for some reason ... I support the prevailing opinion that /Orblivion/ is not the Orb's most enrapturing work but is by no means "bad." Given what I've heard of /Cydonia/, I think that the most critical term I'll levy on /Orblivion/ is "transitional." And, while we're all here because of the Orb, it is worth pointing out that if you want "trippy soundscape journeys" there are plenty of other artists to check out (many of them related to the Orb in some way). I've ranted about Sketch enough already. There's a new album by some guy called Solea Amphibia that I'm quite impressed with. Higher Intelligence Agency is classic. And, while I'm at it, I have to mention an older ambient record that I was just introduced to that has rocked my world: "Other Worlds In a Small Room" by Steve Jansen & Richard Barbieri (ex-Japan). -=Seofon Ambient Temple of Imagination > http://www.a-toi.com > http://www.mp3.com/atoi double-disc anthology Y2KAOS now available! > http://www.a-toi.com/y2kaos # 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) Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 13:51:09 -0000 Date: 21 Dec 2000 17:43:28 +0100 > >>JCFromParis wrote: >In fact, I bought recently the Japanese CD of the Minnie Ripperton >album, just to have the ORIGINAL Loving you... > >===>why would you need to get the japanese cd to have the original loving >you?

Then you'll want to check out Changing Hands by Jansen & Barbieri with Nobukazu Takemura. Out in 1997 on Jansen/Barbieri's Medium label with the artist name simply "Jansen Barbieri Takemura." And as long as I bring it up, maybe someone on this list who has the album can tell me whether that is in fact David Sylvian doing the vocal on "At Eleven." It sure sounds like him, but there's no vocal credit for that track at all...? Maybe it's merely Jansen or Barbieri doing their best Sylvian impression? And Seofon don't worry - it's the only vocal track on the album. Great stuff. JG PS - What year is "Other Worlds" from, anyway?

Not as I told a remix from Once More, but a live mix from Alex Paterson as I think after listening to it. The tracklisting is as follows: 1. Little Fluffy Clouds - Detour Mix 2. Once More - Debrock Mix 3. Centuries (mix of albumtrack!)- Eurofen Mix 4. NY Connection - Once More 5. Shem - Lost Woods Of Timber 6. I'm Allright - Keith Hudson - DB Remix 7. S.E. Berlin - Sissy 8. Lovin You 9. Multiverse - Puffin In Paradise It goes from 4x4 into dubby ambient stuff with loads, loads and loads of (know and unknown) samples. To me, it's more a promo for the DJ-sets from Le Petit Orb than for Cydonia. But it's a great mix! Happy Xmas to all of you Nico BTW don't know if it's been mentioned but the tracklisting for the official Cydonia is as follows: 1. Once More 2. Promise 3. Ghostdancing 4. Turn It Down 5. Ednable 6. Firestar 7. A Mile Long Jump Of Lard 8. Centuries 9. Plum Island 10. Hamlet Of Kings 11. 1,1,1 12. Thursday's Keeper 13.

I think Orblivion was not their greatest album, certainly not my favorite, but I still love it. I mean, the tracks on their are perhaps not as "classic" in my opinion as some of their earlier stuff, but that still doesn't change the fact that they're much greater than your "average" techno. I mean, compare Orblivion to, say, Alice Deejay :) (j/k). Orblivion is still a great album just maybe not AS great as others. As far as people saying with Cydonia Orb is trying to go pop, I somehow doubt that. If they ARE trying to go pop, they sure aren't doing a good job of it :) Once More is a really really great track (except there's a synth line in there I forget where that sounds rather verging on the cheesy). I seem to recall LX saying in an interview that he was trying to besiege the pop world w/ this album or something like that, but he also said that about Toxygene, and that's not necessarily bad just cuz it's catchy. I'd hope LX didn't throw in vocals just to please a more commercial audience, and I don't believe he did. However, I think it's pretty stupid to say "well, if you don't like Orblivion, get off the list." That's like people telling me (multiple times, I might add) that if I have problems with the American government, why don't I leave. That's a pretty bad argument. I love all the Orb's stuff, pretty much, *except Outlands*. :) Somebody else said that if they heard ABTU for the first time today they wouldn't love it as much as they did in 91. I heard it for the first time in 99 and fell in love immediately, and I really think that album is not dated at all. Just saying... that's all. Thinking of Cydonia, does anybody else think Yungle is a great track? I don't suppose anybody knows where the japanese voice sample comes from, I wouldn't think anybody would... Sounds like the Blade Runner ads to me. And lastly, does anybody know anything about the "Scatman"? I heard the song he did with the "ski-da-ba-da-ba-do" if anybody else knows what I mean. did he put out an album? I think the song is funny and want to drop it into my rather strange and eclectic dj sets... :) yeah, pip www.mp3.com/strangeambience <--weird~! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.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: Ovation15@aol.com Subject: (orb) sample spot Date: 21 Dec 2000 17:30:10 EST well i spot samples alot nut usually forget what it was by the time i come to my e-mail. but i remember this one. i just got this CD Ambient Dub 1: The Big Chill (great CD) and a track on there tree of the sun, tree of the moon - mimoid has and interesting sample in it. its the one one that goes 'you make me feel sooo goood' in that sexy voice. i always loved that sample and Dr Alex has used many times. i believe in assasin and i know in the KLF remix money $ orbital club mix. happy holidays to all. gemini # 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: Chain Reaction Subject: (orb) Scatman's End..

It sure sounds like him, but there's no vocal credit for that track >at all...? Maybe it's merely Jansen or Barbieri doing their best Sylvian >impression? I think it's Jansen, who actually sounds a good deal like Sylvian to begin with. (They are, after all, brothers!) >PS - What year is "Other Worlds" from, anyway? And is it also on Medium? Yes, released on Medium in 1996. And I just have to add that "Light Years" slays all. # 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: "Smiley" Subject: (orb) LX video interview Date: 22 Dec 2000 12:22:00 -0000 ...can't remember if this has been posted or not, but just in case - check this out: http://www.dotmusic.com/dance/interviews/December2000/interviews17017.asp happy christmas one and all! --- 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: Simon Bennett Subject: (orb) fan remix Date: 22 Dec 2000 22:23:45 +0800 (WST) hullo all, i've had a go at clandestinely putting together a remix of Little Fluffy Clouds; it's the womble in orbit mix and it's on its way to the OAA along with the requested text file. if anyone's interested i stuck the sample from 'Sleeper' in it in a few places so you can have a listen to that. since the OAA isn't very reliable to upload to for a 33k6 i'll downgrade the quality a bit (still leave it stereo of course) but i'll see about uploading a high-q version to www.corvus.cx/PsWK/ at some point if there's a big enough positive reaction it's in the uploads directory as The Orb vs PsWK - Little Fluffy Clouds (wombles in orbit mix).mp3 length: 6'21 never mind the womble in orbit mix, that's just a failed uplaod attempt.. enjoy :) feedback is very welcome, the more useful the better.. womble # 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: (orb) Merchandise Found Date: 22 Dec 2000 09:36:22 -0600 But a little too late for the christmas season... http://saturn.igetsmart.com/servlet/loaddaemon?Type=3&Load=object&Field1=11& Field2=undefined&Field3=undefined&Field4=undefined&Field5=undefined&Qty=0 Sean # 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: "rmstringer" Subject: (orb) Hello Date: 22 Dec 2000 17:50:20 -0600 This is Robert Stringer from Texas wishing for everyone to have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New years.

IMHO it is a good ablum that differs greatly from past releases but not in a bad way. It has serenity and darkness masked in a story line, if you despise it then give/sell it to a friend who might like it. I feel the vocals on cydonia will bring more ease to playing orb tracks to the orb-impared and certainly allow me to listen to the orb with my girlfriend. Merry Orbness! & Happy 2001!

The sample was originally from "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton. http://ubl.artistdirect.com/fp2.asp?layout=artist_card&artistid=34988&p_id=P+++++5278 If the story I heard about it (from this list no less) holds true, she (or the record company) sued The Orb over the user of the sample. The result was that they had the bits and pieces re-recorded by someone else so that they could re-use it without getting sued. If memory serves me right, A Huge Evergrowing came out in 1990. So I think it is entirely possible for others to have sampled The Orb (which is actually kind of an amusing thought).

On the Breathe.com :"In/out" UK ad, a publicist said (about the music used for the ad) : "We tried all sorts of things, Death in Vegas, Primal Scream, the Orb, but they were too frenetic once we put breathing over the top." There are two pages about Youth as producer with two pictures (now, I know what he looks like). About the Orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld : "I was in school with Lx and then he became our roadie in Killing Joke. He was a very good drum roadie, but useless at anything else. He also went deaf in one ear because of it. Not that that makes any difference. Brian Wilson is deaf in one ear. I think it was interesting for Lx to see the whole Killing Joke experience from the side -not that it made such difference when he became the artist. He just went through his own crises. But Lx had some brilliant ideas, incredibly creative. I think it still stands up as some of the most sonically music ever made." He also talks about Killing Joke, Tom Jones, Crowded House, U2, The Fireman, Embrace and the Verve. I learned that The Orb won the Q Award in 1992 as the best producer of the year. There's a Creation records compilation out now on 2 CD, with Primal Scream : Higher than the sun (Higher than the Orb mix) Youth had just released an album called Dub Trees : Nature never did betray the heart that loved her (liquid sound design). There's a good review... "Followers of the Orb's more chilled excursions should be delighted by the world music-tinged, electro-dub music on offer here."

Most Barnes & Noble's, Tower, Virgin Megastore and major newsstands carry it here in Southern California. Usually comes in at around $6.75 on the newsstand. Also note that we usually get it about a month late here in the US. I know one Tower location that has been getting it about a week after it comes out. But not every month.

In Western terms, Kundilini Yoga can be understood as a biological statement couched in the language of poetic metaphor. The system made a heroic attempt to join together the seeming disparate entities of body and mind. It is a very complicated doctrine; in oversimplified terms, the system encourages the practitioner to progress through the control of six stages, called chakras, of body-mind coordination. The sixth, the highest and most exalted state, is called the sahasrara. The physiological site of this sixth chakra, the sahasrara, is located in the center of the forehead; it is symbolized by an eye--the so-called third eye, the inner eye, or the eye of the mind. When this eye is opened, a new and completely other dimension of reality is revealed to the practitioner of yoga.

From there it moved to the Phonecians and then to the Greeks, who called it the Ouroboros, which means devouring its tail. The serpent biting its tail is found in other mythoi as well, including Norse myth, where the serpent's name is J=F6rmungandr, and in Hindu, where the dragon circles the tortoise which supports the four elephants that carry the world. Alternate spellings include: oroborus, uroboros, and oureboros. and soon ORBeborus ;) The ouroboros has several meanings interwoven into it. Foremost is the symbolism of the serpent biting, devouring, eating its own tail. This symbolises the cyclic Nature of the Universe: creation out of destruction, Life out of Death. The ouroboros eats its own tail to sustain its life, in an eternal cycle of renewal. From good orb to bad orb. From a book by an early Alchemist, Cleopatra, the black half symbolises the Night, Earth, and the destructive force of nature, yin. the light half represents Day, Heaven, the generative, creative force, yang. Alchemically, the ouroboros is also used as a purifying glyph.

Hello group. I am going to be DJ'ing a chill out room in the next few weeks and I am looking for some effects type stuff to throw in the mix. I am going to take Tape Beatles, of course. However I am looking for some other stuff to mix in. Ideally, something similar to Tape Beatles would be cool. I am going to avoid Negativeland tho, as I used that at my last gig. Can anyone suggest any other bits along these lines? Thanks alot in advance.

But there _is_ a really really rad guy out there called wayne butane... his stuff is impossible to find in stores, but you can order it from his record label via mail at http://www.munk.org/fc his stuff is quite rad, but be careful with it, otherwise you'll end up with a lot of dancers with split-sides cuz this stuff is funny as hell.

Can anyone suggest any other bits along these lines? Er ... more Tape-beatles! =) Seriously, this is a good question, and I've resorted to making my own CD-Rs of amusing soundbites to use for just such a purpose. Barring that, the only other thing that I can think of is to try mixing in the bits of LX's DJ sets where he's throwing in soundbites. -=Seofon # 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.
