AFAIK there is no vinyl release of Cydonia in the US. For the purposes of this, I listened to the general release UK and US CD. The US CD seems on a couple of cursory listens to be a different pressing. I'm not actually sure if it's different, but it's immediately apparent that it's a louder pressing. The high end stuff seems to be far clearer, if that makes sense. The Bass stuff didn't seem too much different, in that I expected the distorted stuff [that I'd listened to on the CDR's and UK version a fair few times] to be really taut and crisp. It wasn't, it just sounded the same but just louder. I've given it a few listens in the car, and it just seems to be the high end stuff that's clearer [louder??]. The vinyl version will always sound different - it's the way that CD's in general are pressed [anyone on list care to jump in here and explain technically one way or the other] I think, from memory, that certain frequency ranges and stuff get capped and they don't on vinyl, hence why the voices sound like voices on the vinyl. Analogue verses digital and all that. Also - those poxy Mark Pritchard remixes of once more - I didn't know it was actually the same Global Communications that everyone was talking about ***collective groan from the list*** - Anyway - obviously they did the classic 76:14, and I know they remixed an indie band on their label [dedicated] but I've heard nothing else from them apart from 76:14. Anyone care to proffer a few titles that are worth listening to?

I just don't like them. Now I haven't had my finger on the pulse for a few years, and I've never really been a "house" fan in any guise at any point since listening to music properly over the past 13-14 years. Now, one could be pedantic and say that the other music I listen to comes from "house" that may well be - I just know I don't like house music - the remixes of Once More have to fall into that category, surely?

No, I mean the 1-11-01 show. The RA file is full-length, but the mp3 version cuts off just after 2 hours (and it is the full file, the one that is on two of the three ftps; not a broken download). Some enterprising soul might want to re-rip that one. > yeah - every 2 weeks - last show was yesterday, and > lx's little girl made a starring appearance for large > chunks of it that i saw. Haven't watched that one yet. BTW, for those who don't know (I didn't either, until I captured the streams) the RA streams include a video stream of the DJ booth that can be fairly amusing at times; check it out. > btw, the march 8th show should be available soon, and > the file capture problems from earlier this week seem > to have cleared themselves. Speaking of which; the 2-8-01 show seems to have disappeared from Groovetech. Anyone have any idea why? Also, FWIW, there is a "new" version of VCR (1b31smf) out there; it gets around some more of RA's protection efforts.

What blows my mind is someone who is into the Orb enough to pay that much for a DJ set on CD-R via eBay, but isn't into them enough to be on this list, or to have found the GrooveTech site themselves...

I guess whoever sent it doesn't give a shit about hip-hop, but like it or not its the most influential (and possibly important) form of musical expression to arise since rock n' roll emerged in the fifties. If you listen to hip hop and haven't caught on to Blackalicious and Latryx (both affiliates of DJ Shadow) then you're really missing the boat, check the DJ Shadow produced "Storm Warning" on Quannum Projects as an example, probably the best hip hop song I have everheard. These guys have been turning out the most consistent, original, and just plain kick ass hip hop for over five years now. Furthermore they've put out all of their releases in DIY fashion, no radio/MTV support and almost all of their albums have been released on Shadow's own labels, first Solesides and now Quannum. At the very LEAST you have to respect someone who is doing something different, and doing it on their own terms, even if you don't necessarily get it. Maybe Shadow didn't invent smapling, but for a generation of bedroom hip hip heads, he certainly provided a model of how to get your productions to reach a larger audience. Music is almost always a positive thing, unless we make it otherwise through our judgements (the other night I even found myself defending Moby through a similar argument) Sorry if I offended anyone, but I had to vent. ikki # 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: "Benjamin L.

Hey all, Andrew M. Kontrabecki here. Lurking and working has kept me off the list in full, but I wanted to just post a few things as they seem to appear... To all those Orbonauts in the NYC area I'm going to the Irving Plaza show and if anyone wants to chill at my place before hand, I'm in Bklyn and will be hangin out prior to the gig. I know it doesn't sound the greatest but, it's no pretense-no problems, just a good view of Downtown Manhattan/Brooklyn and a lot of space...Email me privately for directions...Also can anyone give the list a tip off as to the tracks being played at the shows so far? I know Smiley had a little list going, but nothing lately...thanks. Has anyone listened to that -Paterson, Dr. Alex - Journey Into Paradise on LSD records? Just wondering. I'm thinking of buying it, but would love a little heads up. Also I spotted a minor Orb sample on Tino's Dub Breaks Vol. 5. Not necessarily worth the price for the samples, but the rest of the album is "Toasted....Nicely Toasted". I was wondering if anyone had thought of a way to put the whole Orblist onto the Badorb mailing? Doesn't it make sense? I mean wouldn't we all like to be able to get this music? Or maybe someone could compile the pieces of vinyl as they comeout and CDR 'em? That seems a bit more criminal though...Just some random thoughts, I'm prolly missing something somehwere... And last but not least, my usual request of any of the latest hard to find tidbits, like the 40 minute mix or the Breezblock radio shows. I'm wondering if any kind soul might like some money in exchange for a mere CDR of these? I know it's bordering on criminal, but I don't do much dwnloading and in the past these requests haven't gotten shot down so... Rounding out my bi-annual post, I just picked up Badawi -Heretic of Ether [great!], SaltPeter -NANO3 [great], T. Felhmann -Onetothree [last 6 tracks excellent!] and Scorn -Greetings From Birmingham [great]. Oh, and anyone who's seen "Machiavelli Rises" or "Men of Respect", I'm in a GlassBlowing class with the Producer/Writer and have new insights into the elements should you need them. Looking forward to his next project; the Triangle Shritwaist Factory Fire... Thanks for reading. Enough of my babble, back to the showcase showdown... AMKontrabecki P.S. I was shocked at the sticker price of $30 at Throb for the US vinyl release of Cydonia.

Amazing stuff. I was also very pleased to get to witness the "Autolump" people have been talking about on this list. What a great set!! I can not express in words how blown away I was by the Orb's performance. It seemed like Perpetual Dawn went on for ten minutes!! Was I dreaming?? NO...I was totally sober so it must be true!! AGHHH!! It was the *BEST* I have EVER had the pleasure of listening to. Also very impressed by the Towers of Dub (song with the barking dog) played. I can not get over it. What an unbelievable experience. Did any of you catch the "Flash" samples? I think Andy Hughes used the whole song on his Altered States CD, and I could have sworn I heard parts of that song pop up sometime after Mile Long or Promise, but before Blue Room. Am I crazy? Geeze...I hope I am not boring the list by my ramble. But WOW! I am not a big fan of jungle-type beats, (perhaps because the DJs here who have tried to mix songs have failed miserably at many of the shows I have been to) but dammit. The Orb does it so well! IF ONLY ALL MUSIC WAS AS GOOD... Every single new song they played from the Cydonia release was ten times better than what we get on the CD. If only I had thought to bring some sort of digital recording device...hmm. I don't know how I am going to be able to concentrate on work this week. It is Monday already and the show is being played back in my head as I type this note. Thanks Atlanta for a great time: Shelby & Mike from St. Louis, John & Amy (Atl) who gave us a ride, Jonathan (Atl) a former Austinite, and even Mr. Gavin the traveler himself who clued us in to some of the inside jokes going on on-stage...but no thanks to the really drunk guy who screamed in my ear through Autolump & Witchman at the front stage left. Special Message: Thanks to my new buddy John who went and talked to their sound guy...it looks like the Orb will be back in North America sometime between the end of summer and the end of this year!! (So perhaps a Texas show *is* in our future....) This was confirmed later on after the show by Mister Bad Ass Bass Player himself!

(Someone sold one show for $40 on e-bay recently). In addition I wonder why they don't offer the bad orb music for automatic download on receipt of a credit card number. There would be no cost associated with pressing the album (or mailing it) so it could be sold for pennies to a much wider audience.

There is a 58-minute demo version of AHEGPB included in the mp3 project material. However, it has *incredibly* bad sound quality; by far the worst of any of the material in the set. It clips for literally minutes at a time. The parts that are listenable are nice, FWIW, but as a whole, it isn't worth the time and effort involved in acquiring it.

Date: 17 Apr 2001 06:52:04 -0400 (EDT) Listies! Since FSOL is 'second best' on this list I thought I'd give you a little update...sorry for the amount of text. All info is taken from www.newdigitaldesign.co.uk/fsol/...: After a long absence, on Sat 26 Aug 2000, FSOL's Garry Cobain showcased new material at Metamorphose show, Techno Music Summer Festival, Asagiri Heights campground, Mt Fuji, Japan. The whole festival was beamed live to the web including two performances of FSOL's set on the outdoor ambient and main stages, titled "The Future Sound of London present The Mello Hippo Disco Show" "A Psychedelic dj Experience". This is almost concrete proof that FSOL are back with a new release just around the corner.... :-) :-> Is there anyone who captured this performance? If so, please contact me privately. FSOL are also to appear as guests on BBC Radio 1's "One World" show in the new year (i.e. 2001). According to Radio 1 : "One World will see in the year 2001 with a bang! Featured guests will include Mr C, LTJ Bukem, Erykah Badu, Ninja Tunes, Thievery Corporation, Photek, Alex Gopher, Future Sound Of London, and a special live performance by 4 Hero and MJ Cole. FSOL will be doing a version of the Mellow Hippo Disco show .... probably Feb or March." With a live airing of new material on Radio 1 to herald the new album, FSOL will, most than likely continue their tradition of broadcasting further live shows to other radio stations around the world during the rest of the year. Again, if anyone is going to capture or has captured some of this, please contact me privately... A further delay with the new FSOL material means that its going to be early 2001 before the new album sees the light of day. With light at the end of the tunnel it looks as if FSOL have achieved total metamorphosis for the new album. Drawing yet deeper from the archives of sound FSOL are working to become the past as well as the future. A source close to FSOL had this to say : "The new FSOL album has just been delivered to Virgin. The current situation is they are basically getting the artwork together. You will not be expecting what it sounds like at all. The first single is probably the most unlike the old FSOL. Various 60/70s musicians have contributed to the new album. Contributors include bassist Herbie Flowers (Space Oddity, Walk on the Wildside) and guitarist Gary Lucas (Cpt. Beefheart), Catrin Roberts (Mao) and Anjali (Singer?). Unfortunately I have to report that the album release has been put back again. This is purely because we want to make sure that everything is ready for a strong campaign and also because the samples still aren't cleared yet. However, we are talking very early next year (i.e. 2001) so you will be hearing and seeing them this side of Christmas." So, it actually seems that a new FSOL album is on its way..!! Sorry for the amount of text and the off topic post, but I thought that it would interest some of you... If anyone of course has more info on the matter I would be glad to know. Later all, and take care, Steph...

My favorite used CD store (Record Trader in Reseda) has unceremoniously closed. I've been almost exclusively patronizing this store for used CDs for over a decade, and need to find a replacement. The problem is, Record Trader had a rare combination of attributes that I've never found in any of the other stores I've tried. They were cheap, had a wide selection of relatively obscure material, and had a large amount of promos for current releases. I've tried a bunch of other stores over the years, but they've all come up short. While the mighty Amoeba is opening a branch in LA, and I expect to be patronizing them, that won't be 'til much later in the year, and I need an interim source. The ideal replacement candidate will have most or all of the following attributes: Cheap: ("new" releases no more than $8.99, and a wide selection of CDs for $3.99-$5.99) Lots of promos: (lots of industry people unloading their swag) Diversity of stock: (variety of genres, not just rock or electronica; also has lots of obscure, culty material; I primarily buy various styles of "electronica" at this point, but also like goth, industrial, new wave, certain "classic rock" artists (primarily Bowie), "alternative" (early 90s-style, not late 90s cock-rock), torch, etc.) In or near the San Fernando Valley: (West LA, Hollywood, and Pasadena are about as far as I'll consider going; I live in North Hollywood and work in Chatsworth, FWIW) Good hours: (open late; has periods of time with few customers (at least during the week)) Good to excellent selection of new stock: (imports & domestic, vinyl & CD, singles & albums, independent & corporate) Used vinyl: (decent stock of used vinyl a plus, but not necessary) Are there any more Record Traders still open? (I think they were a small chain.) Stores that won't make it: Moby Disc, Penny Lane, Second Spin (all tend to be over-priced, and/or have crappy selections) Poo-Bah's and Aaron's (great selection, but over-priced and over-crowded) Noise Noise Noise (good selection, pricing a bit on the high side, and too far) Stores I'm curious about (and would love to hear reviews of): Rockaway Records Please share your opinions; I need to find another decent used CD store!

Probably a blue hanky over my head (sweatbands > being no longer in style :P)... Hey Benjiman, what did LX give you? I saw you from the upper deck and was wondering if he would do that. Was it an Autolump single? Great artwork, I kept on seeing you slide that eye out of the sleeve. But I don't want this to sound like I was stalking you. The show was great! Really enjoyed the new stuff. I think 'Mile long...' opened up just after Jim Morrison's 'The End' from Apoc now, with the Helicopters fluttering about. Then was 'Ghost Dancing' which was great!! And then another song from Cydonia that I wasn't sure of...then a block of the oldies but goodies and LX really enjoyed building the crowd up and then shutting them down, it was funny to watch the floor go wild and then just stop. I must mention that the crowd was quite unique, a lot of puffers and no kiddie ravers really. Definitely a few receeding hairlines. Back to the new stuff, LX threw in a few new songs at the end that I didn't recognize. And I must mention that the live bass was a good treat. And the fact that the 'ORB' was in fact all of Witchman and Autolump on stage together. It was like the Parliament of Funkadelic shows. You could really see that LX was happy and dancing about and having a great time. All in all the tightest and most original show of Orb that I think I've seen. Hope everyone had a good time! And get to see them if they come to your 'hood. AMKontrabecki P.S. As I was standing in line I was thinking that the list should have shirts made up or something for ID in a crowd.

I can't imagine what you would expect, and yes, seeing Alex as the bellhop, that was classic. Made the video worth while. Anyway, its just a video, and considering the music , I don't thing it needs to say much anyway (mho).

Date: 18 Apr 2001 09:28:52 -0700 (PDT) "I must say, the Orb show in Tampa on good Friday was most impressive!!!" Yes, indeed. I was at the first US stop in Boyton Beach too and I got the chance to meet John Roome thee Witchman (xsigned my personal NXTC Surfboards hat) I snuck backstage after the gig and told Simon Phillips and Fil and John that they were great. I told the Witchman that he could come back to S. FL ASAP and keep the Orb going strong and youthful and not to stop. The best part of the show was the doobie during Perpetual Dawn and remaining high right after the way Alex made Ybor City's Ritz Theatre ceiling smoke (literally) during his DJ set vs. Le Petit Orb "Once More". The entire club turned frenzy as the tennis-shoes-in-a-dryer-effect took place. All I wished for was Alex could have us all cybercryscinergenically frozen us in time that way. The two madams closest to me... "know wot I mean" ; ) This won't make any sense to you unless you dance orbearnauts!!! Dance! Thrity bucks taken care of, LX floated us through a hysterical Orb set... EDM has got to be heard live. Right then, there, with us, I really think that song gave me ghost like visions of me and Andy Hughs skanking feeling like Orb fans do, like you love to... Is it true Alex are you going to make it back to S. FL later on? " The best show I have ever seen." Yep. Yes really! "Hung out afterwards to try to catch up with Alex but had NO LUCK!" He went to a bar someone said.... So what?!?, the other guys are so strong Fil especially. Gab it up with them as LX likes to remain faceless. Go and confrence wit the other lads and tell them that they left Joseph S. Hannah still vibrating!! Anyone out there have any better luck then me?! Chicago calls!!!

I've been an Orb fan since the beginning, but got sucked into ambient or atmospheric drum and bass thru LTJ Bukem. For those who don't know, imagine the trippiest "Hearts of Space" styled ambient synths washing over jungle breakbeats. Awesome stuff. But this song was a great opener, and one kid walked up to the decks, pumped his fists, and shouted "Thats dope, man!" when he heard the calvalry charge horns, followed by the amen breaks. It was the first Orb track that I spun that wasn't part of an ambient chill out set with people sitting/lying down and spaced out. Even saw one kid breakdancing! Just thought I'd share this with everyone. I live in Houston Texas, and if Simon is right about their love of Austin, I'll drive up there to see them, no doubt. Austin is a crazy hippie/college town that I used to live in so I see why. Any Texas Orbsters wanna hang out, drop me a line! I'm driving there to Austin's Elements Club tonight to catch Bukem himself, and I'm pretty excited! Its not your typical jungle, let me tell you... here's to a hopeful stop from the Orb, Ted dj cub # 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: matthew glidden Subject: RE: (orb) once more/ pomme fritz Date: 18 Apr 2001 18:35:19 -0400 At 11:48 AM 4/18/2001 -0400, you wrote: >i was being sarcastic. ;) but not anymore...i think they only ever showed >LFC and "toxygene", though. i remember AMP too...the only bad thing about that show (besides the fact that they didn't play enough really good stuff) was that they mixed the videos...so i had a tape of asylum, but it had FSOL's "we have explosive" pounding through like the first 30 seconds..really lame...not to mention that's one of my least favorite songs of all time (not to piss FSOL people off or anything ;-) also for the record, i saw the Perpetual Dawn video at like 3:30 in the afternoon a few years ago (like 4) on mtv...extremely weird experience...but yeah..hehe..that video's pretty cool.. also, since you asked, i didn't think the once more video was anything special, but i can't really think of any orb videos that are super-special (although asylum and pomme fritz are pretty cool). i kinda like the "this isn't a stereotypical techno video" approach, but uhh, it was a little lame at times :) matt (who's looking forward to seeing the orb in 24 hours). # 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: "get downandboogie" Subject: Re: (orb) Re: House of God Date: 18 Apr 2001 22:53:02 -0000

Micah was successfull in getting himself a ticket. An amusing story that I will recant as we were waiting in line. Micah had already asked at the box office (around 6pm, doors at 8), and they said that they would be releasing more tickets at 8pm... a while later a guy walks up to us and asks to see a ticket so he can find out if his is real or not.. he just bought it from a scalper you see... so I ran my thumbnail acrossed it, and it turned black there (heat-sensitive paper) so I told him it was most likely real. So I asked him how much he paid... "60 dollars" he says, and then he mumbled something about how he really needed to see the show... understandable I thought.. and then he looked up at the club door and saw the sign that said tickets would be available at 8pm for 25.00. his face dropped.. heh.. so the moral of the story is: a) don't pay 60 dollars for a ticket, b) at least check the venue box office first. the nyc show was pretty damn good... I think it doesn't compare to my first show on the "Happy Happy, Joy Joy" tour, but then... hehe.. for the people who saw them on the first three shows (gavin prolly already has posted this info) they have added more visuals. Witchman has his own, and autolump (sorta) have their own too now. I believe we asked Alex (maybe it was witchman) who "Prayerbox" was, and he didn't really know, he thought that it might be Simon Phillips (bass), but he wasn't sure.. hehe... the set was around an hour and 45 minutes, no encore... oh, we also saw Chad, a fellow list member..

Date: 19 Apr 2001 10:12:03 -0400 Who was also at the DC show last night. Can't believe I put off seeing the Orb this long. Anyway... Yes, they should have played Toxygene (wasn't me that said that though), and they did in fact play Once More (LX mixed in the Bedrock remix for some reason). But, on the whole, I found little to complain about. I tried to write down the tracklist after getting out of the club, but failed miserably... somewhere round the middle things got muddled. But here goes: Mile Long Lump of Lard Promis Turn it Down A Huge Evergrowing... Once More (Bedrock Dub) Perpetual Dawn Blue Room Terminus Egnabled Towers of Dub Outlands Little Fluffy Clouds (somebody yelled "play it!" as they mixed in the high percussion track) (EDM? Recognized some stuff off of the Jack Dangers/Tino Breaks cd) This was intense. Like Orb's answer to Orbital's "Satan". Thursday's Keeper (my new favorite track on Cydonia. Nothing like hearing a sine-wave bass at ear-bleed volumes) Actually, now that I think about it, Toxygene might not have fit too well into the set. Might have disrupted the flow a bit, especially since the new material fits less with the "middle" Orb than with the "early" orb... considering that all that was played was off of Cydonia, Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld, and U.F.Orb. Anyway--Witchman as an opening act was excellent. The last thing he played was one of the best densely layered trance tracks I've heard. Was impressed with Autolump as well. I dug the fact that Witchman and Autolump are now, apparently, part of the Orb (I think Autolump hid behind Witchman's gear, running videotapes... not sure what he actually *did* though). I also drooled over the Titanium PowerBook G4 they had (Autolump shut it down right before Orb started. The apple on the case glows slightly when it's turned on, and it went dark when he shut it off). "That was fun!" Maybe with the good crowd response, Orb might lobby to get Orbital to make DC a stop over on *their* next tour...

May" Subject: (orb) NYC show Date: 19 Apr 2001 10:16:56 -0400 (EDT) Didn't have email access for the last few days, so this is the 1st chance I had to discuss the show. First off, I want to say that I liked the opening groups. Autolump, when they played, consisted of LX and some older guy, and was pretty cool. Sort of a minimalist live house type of thing. Then witchman, which I also liked. My roomate informed me that he already had some witchman stuff from another label. Anyone know what this label might be? I actually had to leave halfway through the actual orb set due to unpleasently crowded conditions in the space (irving plaza is SMALL!), but they played my two favorite songs first; blue room & U.F.Orb which was nice. Anyone know who that basist was? Anyways, overall a very nice show. I gave LX a huge phatty before the whole thing started and in return got a copy of BadOrb's BOB3 12" :) He gave out 3 total, which were BOB1 and BOB2. BOB3 sounded a lot like Autolump, sort of a minimal house feel but sounding like it was recorded live and with some nice orb synths over it. Nothing super impressive, but nice all the same. # 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: "Benjamin L.

Date: 19 Apr 2001 11:14:33 -0400 In response to Lee Blanch... Here are my problems with Cydonia. It doesn't really hang together well as a whole. That said, there are some really phenomenal songs... actually, just about all of the songs are very good, in my opinion (it took hearing "Thursday's Keeper" live to convert me to that track). If you know the history of the record itself (having been delayed since 1999-- see www.theorb.com for details) you might realize that the delay contributed to the fragmentary quality of the album, as such delays usually do. Parts of the current version of Cydonia are nearly two years old--there are, essentially, two different Orbs on Cydonia. The "Cydonia v.1.0" album that's been floating around is (essentially?) that earlier version, and it hangs together much better (and I also really like "Yungle" and "Freely Wheely," neither of which appear on the official release). I'd have to rate Cydonia on the same level as "Pomme Fritz." There's much that is beautiful, but there're also some bits that just don't grab me. Remember, as well, that LX and company aren't necessarily out to please us (why else would they record an elephant taking a shit and call the result "sticky end"?) or the music press. Keep in mind, as well, that my response to "Orbus Terrarum" took about two months to form. From "where are the beats?" to "brilliant!" takes some deep listening. And I've never actually liked the Mk. II version of "A Huge Ever-growing..." too much. Blasphemy, I know... ;) And if I could make my own version of "Adventures Beyond" that has the beat-using mix of "Spanish Castles in Space" *and* that long version of "Star 6&789", I would. (Wait, I can! ;) On the whole, though, the Orb's direction seems to be somewhere between the early 90s material tempered with lots of noise and chunky (and I do mean chunky... check out "A Mile Long Lump of Lard" and its' "DC go-go through a an army of fuzz boxes" drum track) breaks. I find I rather like it. But if you really want your faith restored, see the live show. Pretty damn close to transcendant. I promise you'll never hear bigger response for a sample ever (the crowd sent up a cheer when "Egnable" was played before "Towers of Dub"). -- Justin Roby jroby@gwu.edu, mac.com roby.justin@verizon.net http://gwu.edu/~jroby "Anything the Wright Brothers can do, the Wrong Brothers can do.

Being from Milwaukee, I make it down to Chicago pretty often and know the scene down there well enough, but I've never been to Detroit, so any recommendations for record shops, restaurants, after-show parties etc. will be appreciated. Also, somewhat more urgently, has anyone found out anything concrete about the supposed Mad Professor date in Chicago on Sunday night? If it's happening, it'd be a wonderful bridge between the two Orb shows, but all I can find online has "TBA" listed for the Chicago date and none of the Chicago press (well, the Reader, at least) has any info about the show. I'm afraid I don't know what my wardrobe will be at the Orb shows, but I have a shaved head and glasses and I'm tall and on the thin side. Depending on the weather, I may be wearing an oversized forest-green Ninja Tune hoodie with the big Ninja eyes on the back. Possibly also a grey Herbaliser sweatshirt with their name on the front and an old-fashioned-looking handgun on the lower back. Enough about fashion. I've been enjoying the reports from the shows to date, and am super excited about seeing these two. Last time I saw the Orb (with Sun Electric at the Metro in Chicago), it was the best live concert of the hundreds I've seen. JG PS - I know that some of you were at the Metro show and HATED it (it was really, really hot), but, you know, one man's trash and all that... # 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: Bbbrooo@aol.com Subject: (orb) Making money off the orb!

Finally I decided to join this mailing list - a friend helped here. I've been on the KLF mailing list for quite some time and joining this list as well seems pretty logical, since KLF and Orb share quite some things... both are great bands, I can't think of many that could be even remotely compared to them. I've been a KLF fan for a long time, but a while ago a friend of mine (Pego from Italy) introduced me to FSOL, Aphex Twin, Orb and the like... Of course, I was hooked immediately. I loved KLF's excursions into ambient ('Space' and 'Chill Out'), so I learned to love Orb really soon ;) In return, I showed my friend the beautiful world of KLF ;)) Oh, sorry, almost forgot the basic info - I'm 21 years old, a student, from Slovenia. Music is a very important part of my life, I own a lot of cds and vinyls and I was never sorry for spending all that money on music. In my spare time I also do some DJing, nothing serious yet, just for fun and for our private parties... Have fun!

It was also nice meeting Ben (aka Reverend DjBlue)- but couldn't talk to him much, lest I interfere with his minidisc recording of the show! Also there was Grant (thx for the twizzlers!) and looking pretty good for all his travels the man Gavin himself. The show started with Autolump (fil only though....didn't see Alex anywhere during this set) who spun some pretty happenin' beats...I can't wait 'till some of his stuff is released! Much bass was thrown around with wild abandon! After an 'intermission' (too long!) with some jungle-ly music (think drum'n'bass-style elevator music), Witchman was up and the crowd started to really get into it. A lot of really good layered beats and samples, with eclectic, constantly changing bass lines. Very nice. Much better than the tracks on his website. Then another, LONGER, intermission (crowd got a little restless, here) at which point the club was PACKED. Grant said he saw the lineup for the night, and that Alex was supposed to DJ for at least one of the intermissions, but didn't...maybe due to technical problems from the night before?? Anyway, didn't see a hint of Alex until the Orb were up next. A lot of tracks were played from Cydonia and Ultraworld, but none (that I could tell) from UFORB! Oh well, it still rocked. Simon on bass simply rocked. A lot of tracks were mixed with samples from others, which made it hard to identify (much less remember!) which ones were played, but I do recall these (in no particular order): promis egnable outlands lfc (!) ghostdancing terminus freely wheely (?) mile long... Ok, I'll give up....now I beginning to think I'm making these up. Anyway, if Ben decides to rip his recording, that'll be the definitive answer to what was played. (to be honest, I have a real problem remembering track titles as it is) The Orb set was pretty much technically flawless for its 1.5 hours....except for the very last track where the sample volumes were all fucked up (i.e. TOO LOUD) and the sequencing was off (due to mixer failure?) Eventually after much button-pushing and knob-fiddling they managed to squeak out mile long lump o' lard. Then, of course, they ended with the oldie 'Mr Sandman....' like the other shows. Of course there was no encore. A good night's worth of Orb, imho. 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: "Dr.Winston O'Boogie" Subject: RE: (orb) new member Date: 23 Apr 2001 22:29:01 +0200 Hi, and welcome Dusan!

If you are talking wav (or for burning to audio CD-R, you can either use a sound editor to chop them up (making sure to make your cuts on frame boundaries), or just use a burning program that uses cue-sheets (such as CDRWin or EAC) and generate a cue-sheet that puts the track breaks where you want them. (Personally, for the GrooveTech shows, I put the breaks between discs in good places (at the end of a track, with silence or a very quiet transition) and just throw in track-breaks every 10 minutes in my cue-sheet so navigating the CD isn't a nightmare. Alex does so many mixed tracks and extremely long segues that trying to put breaks between tracks is an exercise in futility; most of the GT sets only have 7 or 8 places where doing this would be reasonable.)

It seems like there are a lot of good, quality Orb out there that is being traded (BadOrb Promo, GrooveTech, live shows, etc) and I'm sure that a lot of these are digital sourced (at some point in the lineage). I've seen the Orb mp3 project files and a lot of it is pretty good sounding. What I'm wondering, is there anyone out there trading shn format or wav format Orb? It seems that there's a lot of us out there with the hard drives to handle it, it's just the time it takes to record and track the digital source to wav and the time it takes to encode to shn. Beyond that, it's just trading. I have gotten a lot of great Orb shows in mp3 and burned them and have been beginning to distribute them. If anyone has any of the recent shows (or hell, even some of the older shows) and would be able to supply me with a show that is either in wav format or is directly sourced from the DAT (or miniDisc) to cdr audio, I'd be more than willing to go through the process of setting up and running a show. The most important thing here is that the source be documented and quality. I come from the jamband background and with that style of music, taping is encouraged and the spreading of the music is important. I understand that these recordings are not necessarily full on approved by the band (or are they?), but if Alex and Co. are ok with the mp3 project, why not take this the next step in quality. I'm all for spreading this stuff and would like to aid in the process. Email me privately if you can be of assistance in getting this started. If I get some sort of positive feedback and a source to work from, I'll go from there. --- Jay PS: the http site below houses my trading list of live shows. It's mostly jambands, but on the non-tradable section, there is some Orb and Aphex. Like I said, I'm all for spreading the music.

I've seen the > Orb mp3 project files and a lot of it is pretty good sounding. All of the GrooveTech material is sourced from RA files. The rest varies; older shows are on cassette; most of the "modern" stuff is from DAT or minidisc. The Orb mp3 project material is, I believe, mostly originally sourced from cassette; so not much has been lost by mp3ing it. The "original" cassettes are out there; and it looks like they are slowly being mastered to a digital format (either DAT or CD-R). They probably won't be much better than the ones I'm making from the mp3s, though. > What I'm > wondering, is there anyone out there trading shn format or wav format Orb? > It seems that there's a lot of us out there with the hard drives to handle > it, it's just the time it takes to record and track the digital source to > wav and the time it takes to encode to shn. Beyond that, it's just trading. I don't think anyone is specifically trading using shn. For whatever reason, this format doesn't seem to be catching on with anyone except jamband aficionados. Every so often, someone tries to convert the Underworld trading community to shn, and it always falls flat with a resounding thud, especially since most of the Underworld material out there is at 160 kbps or higher. MP3 is the default format for distributing music on the web, and that combined with bandwidth limitations, would seem to work against directly trading shn or wav files. There are a fair number of people trading audio CD-Rs, DATs, and/or mini-discs, but they tend to stay fairly low key on this list, for whatever reason. > I have gotten a lot of great Orb shows in mp3 and burned them and have been > beginning to distribute them.

The most important thing here is that the > source be documented and quality. It will take a while for the new shows to start appearing; at least a few weeks (and then the sources will be trying to trade for material they don't already have). And knowing Gavin (the one attending and recording every US show), he will take the time to do the job right, which will add to the delay. I have several dozen CDs of Orb shows and rarities; most of them are available as mp3s already, but most my stuff is not sourced from mp3 (with the obvious exception of the mp3 project). For whatever reason, electronic music fans in general don't seem to be quite as anal as jamband fans when it comes to sources...and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'll take a show with a shady pedigree (or no pedigree) in an instant over no show at all. :) > these recordings are not necessarily full on approved by the band (or are > they?), but if Alex and Co. are ok with the mp3 project, why not take this > the next step in quality.

After this tour, I was going to try and set up one or more trees to distribute some of the new and/or hard to find stuff, if I could convince anyone to provide the necessary material, of course. I don't particularly mind mp3s, but if I can get something that hasn't gone through a lossy compression, I'd prefer it. So, let's see if we can do it...

Has anyone ever considered bringing this up with him? Almost none of his live shows ever see recording for any widespread publication so it's not like it'd be hurting the record company's profits. Perhaps he'd consider working out an agreement with his record people such that live recordings are allowed but only if they aren't sold for money. This is exactly what Phish does, and recording Phish concerts has become an institution. Phish sells just as many tickets and albums as they would otherwise and their fan base remains happy with them. It's a thought anyway. 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

Date: 24 Apr 2001 08:57:09 -0400 hello... i just wanted to say that i have listened to both the new orb album and the new orbital album, and i am somewhat disappointed by both. it seems that both bands have been getting progressively better over the years, and now with both albums, it seems as though they've both taken a step back. ORBITAL: in sides and middle of nowhere are two of the best "electronic" music cds i've ever heard. the complexity of the music, as well as the excellent production still amaze me, and those albums came out years ago. yet, the altogether seems to simple, like the hartnolls were not trying their hardest. i am not going to buy this album. there are only a few songs i like (in particular, meltdown and tootled), and it is not worth my $15. i never thought i'd hear myself saying that, but i am seriously disappointed. THE ORB: now i love the orb. i saw them in boston last week, and they blew me away. the new album is sub-par in my view (and several of my friends'), but they performed it live with such expertise and it sounded great. i feel the same about cydonia as an album, though, as i do about the altogether. adventures beyond the ultraworld and u.f.orb and orblivion are amazing albums, and still amaze me to this day, but after listening to cydonia several times (yes, i gave it more than one chance), i came to realize that the album was much less than spectacular. with both cydonia and the altogether, i was expecting something groundbreaking, since all the orb and orbital have done for us for the past 10-15 years is amaze us more and more with every new album. but both these albums seem very lackluster. like they weren't really trying. i'm sorry if i've offended any of you, and i'm sure many of you will write in to tell me how wrong i am, so i'll apologize, and admit that i'm probably wrong in advance. i've not given up all hope for these guys, i'm just disappointed by these albums. sorry... peace... ericb # 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: "Benjamin L.

I This might seem kind of farfetched, but its something I've been thinking about for a while... Okay, so the idea is this: you have a small radio transmitter that has a variable broadcasting frequency, and a reciever tuned to that frequency that has a MINI-DIN plug (the input used for most portable MD players) for output. You could put the transmitter into the sound board somehow and actually have the minidisc recorder on your person and hidden away so its not visible. The only problem is how to get the FM transmitter attached to the master out from the mixer or whatever. Now, assuming the place has unshielded wires, you could potentially have a device that picks up the electromagnetic field made through the wires, and extract the output waveform that way. But this seems like it would be kind of expensive. I think the best solution would be something along the lines of a small device with dual RCA ins and dual RCA outs that gets stuck between your mixer and your amplifying device; you attach the mixer outs and they're passed through this device and a side effect of this is that the output waveform is broadcast to you. This I think would be pretty cheap & easy to build, but it still leaves the problem of how to get the thing attached in the first place (which is what made me think of the EM field detector, because that could be just placed near a wire)... Any ideas anyone? This little pair of black boxes would, I think, make the job of bootlegging much easier since there is less physical evidence, and a 9 volt battery could power a transmitter that could broadcast 500m for a long period of time, so you could even leave the MD player stashed in your car with a buddy attending to it. :) # 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@skanska.co.uk Subject: RE: (orb) recording shows Date: 24 Apr 2001 17:49:49 +0100 I don't mean to urinate on anyone's bonfire, but of all the live shows bootlegs I've heard [not just the Orb] the sound quality is shit.

Let me tell it as I saw it... I'm quite saddened by the technical difficulties, since everybody has said that Thursday's Keeper was the definite highlight (and 13 minutes long, apparently!) So if anyone has a recording, I'd love to hear it! It was a pretty good Orb show, but there were too many dead, long stretches between songs. Some of those long voice samples are incomprehensible. And I'm sorry, but 15 minutes of LX djing to give the others a break didn't cut it. Just as he's building up energy (and it was really working, spinning great stuff), he shuts it down to get on with the concert. Imagine the dance mix of AHEGBRFTC... whatever... it's wicked... just as it's starting, shut down. FUCK! It would have been a great break from the "concert" if he'd had time to get into something. Not the best Orb show, no big surprises in the versions played, but quite nice nonetheless. Great sound! Really sucks about Thursday's Keeper! And Which man? Please.

Date: 24 Apr 2001 12:28:09 -0500 (CDT) Chi-town report - I don't know if this happened in other cities but here in Chicago Virgin advertised an appearance by the orb and a free promotional give away with purchase of the albulm. So natuarally being the good orb fan that I am I showed up at virgin. Well there was a little bit of false advertiseing. It wasn't the ORB it was Alex and the promtional giveaway was just the once more single. But since I only have the UK release I picked up the US release and got the single. The other aspect of false advertising was the fact that it wasn't an appearence but a performance! A cozy little DJ set by alex for about thity people. it was sweet. Alex spun the tunes he has been playing on groovetech, like "A little less conversation" and the Led Zep remix. He had alot of fun and danced around quite a bit. He played some jungle that made me remember why I like jungle. But he did mess up a few mixes. after trainwrecking a couple times trying to mix a few tracks he laughed and gave up. then he just turned one off and the other on. oh well, he tried. I didn't see gavin there and I had no way to identify other list members but I hope some others got to see this. After I had him sign my albulm and chatted with him. He jokingly complained about not having enough time to shower and apoligized for missing his groovetech duties last week. I told him seeing him live would make up for it. The actual orb show was good. Different crowd than I remember, but this was the first time I saw them sober. Still an incredible show, but maybe not quite as magical. There were too many pauses between tracks. Not that I am really complaining. I did have to ask some people who worked there way up to the front to stop having a loud conversation(not about the orb too). Towers of Dub was truly devine and the rollercoaster ride of Outlands was a blast. I caught Gavin after the show and he had 9 wristbands from nine orb shows on. He seemed a little tired but pretty psyched. well hopefully they will come back in less than 4 years this time. merrick __________________________________________________________________ phone address (312)492-7461 800 S.

Yeah bootleg recording truly is an art. It requires a lot of skill and a lot of practice, and usually some luck. But if you want to hear a bootleg that really is of excellent sound quality, check out Orbital: Live in Birmingham.

You have to find soundboard boots. I agree that often times crowd recordings suck, but sometimes they're not bad. You have to keep in mind that when you listen to a studio album, especially by a grou like the orb, there were weeks and weeks of work put into all the details; the mixing, the effects, the panning, the levels, filters, etc etc ad nauseum. Not only do you not get this with a live recording, but usually you're working from a single sound source (mic or soundboard), which limits you even more, to say nothing of other problems. > I'm sure that they record them all anyway - All the DJ mix tapes are done > from the sound desk. That's not always true. :) And a lot of times the reason those exist is because the DJ's record them themselves to listen to later. > I've got numerous Stone Roses bootlegs for example, and to be honest they > are just pathetic.

I've now seen them a half a dozen times, and although it wasn't the best Orb I've seen, it was damned fine. Our group took a leisurely time getting to the show, with stops for Korean food, Belgian beers, and British Colombian.. Arriving at the Guverner, we saw a large crowd apparently lining up to get in, but another lit entrance with some security. As we wandered by this second entrance, one of them said something I couldn't really hear, and a member of our party turned to me to say, "How civilized: They have a dedicated J-smoking area!" We, of course, were all set to take advantage of this amenity, when someone questioned a little more closely what had been said by the security, and it turned out to be "Papa Roach" (a group), not "Pop a Roach" (an invitation). Oh well, not to worry, there were sufficient opportunities inside. The venue is a large cavernous space, but acoustics were surprisingly OK. Bass was loud and penetrating without distortion, but as pointed out by others, many of the samples were illegible (I was giving my friends a running translation of all the HAL 9000 speech which was largely inaudible). The crowd seemed a healthy mix of young and more "mature" fans, but since this was not a sellout, was a bit thinner than some of my previous Orb shows. As mentioned by others, the end of the show was marred by technical difficulties, including several sustained electronic squeals (with the Orb, one can never discount the possibility that the squeals were part of the plan, but there seemed little doubt that they had some problems up there). And I would say that they never really built up the energy with the audience. There were many excellent moments, sonic spaces, etc., but then they would move on to something else. One really sustained 15-minute number would have been great, but never came. The on-stage lighting was very good, especially the mega-orb in the center (particularly liked the big red effect), but I would say that this show suffered in comparison to others I have attended for the in-crowd lighting and ceiling projections, etc. All-in-all, glad I attended, and I think my friends (for some of whom this was the first Orb show) had a good time. grant.. # 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 / ATOI" Subject: (orb) Re: live Orb recordings Date: 24 Apr 2001 12:13:22 -0700 >There are a fair number of people trading audio CD-Rs, DATs, and/or >mini-discs, but they tend to stay fairly low key on this list, for >whatever reason.

"Dipping Into the Cyberworld"). Has LX ever made a statement dis/approving of Orb bootlegs? Maybe I'll have to put it to the test for the SF show! =) -=Seofon _________________________________________________________________ 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: "gliddenm@nettaxi.com" Subject: (orb) Re: live Orb recordings Date: 24 Apr 2001 12:31:10 -0700 >As far as live, I agree with a previous poster that audience >recordings are usually pretty worthless, but Orb soundboard >recordings are definitely worth pursuing by any means necessary >(cf.

(Translation: Read this, Chicago Show review...) Date: 24 Apr 2001 14:37:05 -0500 I'll say again for those folks who can view Japanese Characters. $B$7$"$o$;!*(B Happiness! That's what I'm saying. The orb show, although not the best I've seen, was brilliant. Let me first start of by saying. I haven't been to active or participating in the Orb list lately. I also thought Cydonia was a very weak release compared to it's v1.0 copy. And there were some tracks I downright Hated! That and my U.F.Orb Disc has been missing for quite some time (the unreturned lender). I guess you can say I was "losing the faith"... I've been turning my head to many more new and interesting young lads and lasses that are making stuff I'm finding much more interesting for me to listen to. Blasphemy you say? Now don't shoot me down, hog tie me, and burn me at the stake yet. The Orb will always have a special place in my heart. Now I arrived at the show, with barely any excitement. My friend Jef, a last minute spare ticket trade, was my companion. I didn't see to many people I know, and I didn't get to meet any listee's (sorry guys, no Gavin for me, and for some reason, xmission seemed to have eaten my post!) I did run into some old friends (Daryl where did you go! I wanted to talk to you seriously!)... Witchman was good, Didn't blow me away, but I'd seriously think I'll check out his records.And the those little star logo's came up.. Tried to find my friend, and get into a good position for the show. MLLoL came on, I was kinda excited, but the was it came it... Just sorta happened, no big explosion or anything, and for some reason at that moment it sounded weak. I was also in a bad spot. I had to move. I got over on the Left side, and weaseled my way down closer and left of center. Right under a fan. *** I now have to explain something to all you non Chicagoans. First of despite the day started off in the mild low 70's by evening, and the time of the event it was a chilly and windy 40 degrees. With that in mind, the Metro has NO Air Conditioning! You think a place as swank as that, and all the $$ they rake in from all those poor concert going kids, they would splurge for some AC! Joe Shanahan, quit being a greedy ass, and give the kids a break! What I'm trying to say, despite the frigid elements outside, the Metro still gets quite steamy inside, especially at an orb show. So being positioned under a fan is a choice spot *** Then came on Promise. snore... One of my least favorite tracks off the album. Didn't do much for me, except for those little teddy bear graphics on the screens, but those showed up later. Then came Turn It Down... Aww yeah.. It's starting to happen for me now. And now here it goes... One thing I found funny is that no one has happened to mention that they had a live bass player (maybe someone did, and I just skipped the post). and we haven't had a live bass player since the Happy Happy Joy Joy tour(circa 1995). That post that Rachel gave from one of her friends, reviewing the NYC show, I have to say Fuck Dat Shit! Blue Room came on, and OH my fuckin' Goodness! That Damn Bassline! I have to say the thing that hooked me into the Orb, ages ago, was U.F.Orb (damn, I'm gonna have to go out and buy my fourth copy of that thing! Anybody got a 2 disc version you wanna sell?). I mean ABTU was good, but man... Blue Room, Those atmospheric sounds, those squishy beats... But do you know what it was? It was that DAN BASSLINE, that infections ass rumbling, body numbing, booty shaking, heart breaking bassline! and I heard it there, right in front of me, in that sweaty venue. I instantly knew why I was there, why I had to make passage to this event and also again on the west coast. Blue Room Rocked. The night went on and they continued to rock me! Outlands was great to hear, Towers of tub bombed the place! Perpetual Dawn and LFC felt fresh and very welcome. Freely Wheelie must have been played, because Its a song I didn't recognize, and that is a song I have yet to hear recorded (I've tried many times to get it from the various list sources such as Moondog's FTP, but it always ends up being a failed effort, Is it commercially released yet?). Thursday's Keeper was great! I know people rip on Amen breaks all the time, but Fuck Dat. I don't know why, I just love amen breaks! But they can be used for evil if left in the wrong hands (luckily I've been saved by some great tracks that use amen breaks incredibly, such as Hrvatski's Gatham, Squarepusher's *pick-a-track*, and Lesser's Anal Retentive Last Stand)And the Orb does not abuse! That was great was to finish things off. One upsetting thing was the lack of encore that I've heard other listers mention. I don't know if this is the Metro's doing (probably) or Lx and crew, making the set short. The visuals I thought were a step backwards from the Orblivion tour and that crazy pyramid, and at times downright boring. The lack of Orbus Terrarum tracks also made me a little sad (No Valley, No plateau, No slug dub?). But regardless, the orb has won me back (now I gotta go off and buy another copy of BlueRoom). I also noticed LX slipping in CD's here and there. Set List (in as close an order as my alcohol ridden brain can remember) ------------------------- Mile long lump of lard. Promise Turn it down. blue room. outlands a huge ever growing Towers of dub perpetual dawn little fluffy clouds. ??? (freely wheelie) Thursdays keepers High points: --------------- Fuckin live bass!!! Blue Room (that Damn bassline!) Towers Of Dub (did I mention that Bassline?) Thursday's Keeper (rocked the house) Big smiles! Low Points: ---------------- Promise (snore!!) No Terminus. No Encore No Orbus terrarum tracks, or Orblivion tracks. Visuals. That ends my report...

I guess after waiting four years you hope it lasts all night long, alas. Now, a non-music related gripe. I realize that people have many different ways of expressing themselves. Given the nature of the artists performing last night, I fully expected dancing to be such a form. I did it myself. However... Last night also proved to be a true test of patience for both my girlfriend and myself. Shortly before the Orb went on, a rather tall girl with ~very~ fluffy hair planted herself in front of us. Not a problem - until the music started. This girl decided not to just dance, but to breach every known rule of personal space while putting on some type of self-absorbed, writhing, and damn annoying "performance". I'm not just talking about her being somewhat close - Metro is small, the show was sold out, you expect to be rubbing shoulders at some point. But this girl seemed to feel she had an arm's length radius of space around her where she could toss her head and hair back, whip her arms around and just do whatever she wanted. She didn't. After she bumped into - and quite hard I might add - my girlfriend a few times, I switched places and proceeded to get her hair in my face more times than I can remember, my nose hit by the back of her head several times, and even a couple of shot! s to the crotch (!) by her flail ing arms. I repeatedly pushed her away, asked her to watch it, and even stuck my elbow into her back to get my point across. Never happened. Listers, I am ~not~ a baby and know what to expect at GA shows. This was waaay beyond tolerable. So here's my plea - guys and gals, if you're going to get stoned at a show and enter your own little world where you feel the need to dance like a monkey on two boxes of No-Doz, do those of us who don't feel like being abused by your gyrations a favor and GET THE HELL INTO A CORNER WITH THE REST OF YOUR KIND. Places like Metro are ~not~ appropriate vehicles for your version of tripping the light fantastic, but since there's no rule against what you do, show some freakin' courtesy. And this is coming from someone who used to get high quite a bit. On a lighter note - man, Metro needs to get some fans that actually circulate air - it was sweltering in there! # 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: "Benjamin L.

Slow down there killer. You seem to be assuming that drugs are what made this woman act like an idiot. I admit that, generally for the average person, consuming drugs makes them act more like an idiot. But no amount of drugs in your system will make you ignore the pleas of others around you; to assume that drugs were the reason for her acting like an idiot is silly. She may have been on drugs, but I promise you that's not why she was dancing in a way that decreased the fun for others. Personally, when I went to see them last week, I was the high one. Very much so. But I was in front and the place was crowded, so I didn't try to dance (I'm 6' 3" and weight over 260). Some asshole next to me, later in the show, decided that he wanted to thrash about and started giving me shit about not following suit. So I ignored him. Point being, if you're an asshole who doesn't listen to people then that's who you are. Taking drugs doesn't make you less able to hear what people around you are saying (unless you happen to be REALLY fucked up, but at that point you probably aren't doing much dancing). > like being abused by your gyrations a favor and GET THE HELL INTO A > CORNER WITH THE REST OF YOUR KIND.

This seems to be a chronic problem with clubs everywhere. You stick people in a space where they have to be that close, can't move around, have limited access to fluids, and anything short of total re-ventilation of the air in the room every 10 seconds, and it seems like the room turns into the 7th level of hell, heatwise.

I even wore my Orbus shirt hoping some track would get played. Plateau? No. Bummer. So these three fucking frat boys tried to push their way to the front, where I was leaning against the railing right in front of the middle security guard (and in front of the big-ass sampler). I almost got in a fight! :D Too bad, too... I would have loved to have them all kicked out. Elbows, names, an occasional shove or two... Some people's kids. So Eric from Madison -- please contact me.

I had the most excellent time in Chicago yesterday. I live in Lawrence and decided to go down to Chicago and back to Lawrence for the two shows. I got down to Chicago and to the Metro at around noon. I didn't really have anything to do so I walked in and hung out for awhile. I soon met Fil (Autolump). I talked with him for awhile. He brought me some coffee and we talked for awhile. Alex, Simon, and Jon were all out shopping. He said they had ADAT troubles in the last three shows. In Toronto they couldn't finish Thursday's Keeper because of the ADAT problem. So they opened up a new ADAT box and replaced the messed up one. The ADAT machine is what Witchman used for his set and also what The Orb used to play their tracks. Autolump mostly used the DJ Setup which was 2 Vestax PD-2000s (reverse, 50%, etc) hooked up to a Vestax MW-3000, 3 channel mixer (coincidentally this is the mixer I have) , a Kaoss Pad hooked up for the right deck and one of the Denon DJ CD Players. A digital delay hooked up to the master out of the MW-3000 and out to the Yamaha mixing board on the other stand on stage. The mixing board was next to the ADAT controller and the 3, 8-channel ADAT machines were on the floor next to Simon's Powerbook G4 (running Logic Audio Platinum) next to the mixingboard/ADAT stand. In the middle was Simon's bass setup. The whole time they were setting up and practicing the tracks on the ADAT, I was recording. They practiced Blue Room, Turn it Down, and Thursday's Keeper. They paused and talked sometimes. The recording came out pretty good. I haven't listened to it all yet but I will be recording from tape to digital format (CD and the ripping to MP3) for those interested. All of the orb crew was really friendly. I talked mostly to Fil and Simon. I talked to LX for some time and he introduced me to Simon. I gave LX and Fil, each one of my cds. I met Jon and some of the roadies and the soundman. The whole time they were warming up and testing out the gear was really cool. They just let me sit/stand there in the empty theater while they warmed up. It was like my own personal orb show!! A day to never forget! Doors opened at 8:30 and it got packed in there really quick. By the time Witchman was on there was no room to dance or move around. Even moving in the back of the Metro was a tight squeeze. Autolump (Fil) was on first for about a half hour. His set was really good. I recognized a few tracks that he DJ'd from the Badorb site that I recorded onto Audio CDs.. He played Bob 3a and 3b. LX then came on and DJ'd some records. His set was good. He played an eclectic mix. Lots of chunky beats and drumnbass. Witchman was on next. I thought his set was excellent! I think they played some drumnbass tracks as an interlude before "The Orb". Soon they all returned and the started with Mile Long Lump of Lard. They played a lot of classic tracks (no Orbvs, Orblivion, or Pommes tracks) Blue Room, Perpetual Dawn, Outlands, LFC. I don't have setlist yet. Turn it Down, Terminus, Thursday's Keeper, EDM were excellent. The use of the ADAT allows them to make variations in each track from its album release. I can't wait to hear Gavin's recordings. I met Gavin after the show. I looked for Brian in the Orbvs shirt but didn't see him. I didn't see any x-mission signs. I also saw The BadOrb 12" release. It has the Badorb logo except in full color. Really cool. They had 5 difft tshirts at the show. Dark Gray with garphoo - goat, cow, cat on front and badorb logo on back. A dark gray smaller tight shirt with the cat and a cream colored shirt with cydonia on front. Really good quality black Orb baseball hats with "orb" right above the bill in white lettering on the side. They also had Witchman vs Jammin Unit - "Inferno" cds for sale. All shirts, cd, hat were $12. Well Gavin should be here in Lawrence soon or else I'm meeting him at the show.. I gotta get some rest. Take care. :) -Lokaytion # 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: BluRoom@aol.com Subject: Re: (orb) mini metro blurb - clarifying Date: 24 Apr 2001 21:11:16 EDT In a message dated 4/24/01 4:30:19 PM Central Daylight Time, benmay@cuccfa.ccc.columbia.edu writes: << Whoa, whoa, whoa!

That's my main point. > On a lighter note - man, Metro needs to get some fans that actually > circulate air - it was sweltering in there! >>This seems to be a chronic problem with clubs everywhere. You stick people in a space where they have to be that close, can't move around, have limited access to fluids, and anything short of total re-ventilation of the air in the room every 10 seconds, and it seems like the room turns into the 7th level of hell, heatwise. We need freon coils on the walls. :) << Yeah, it was crazy walking in from the bitter winds, thawing a bit and then baking for the rest of the night- if I don't get sick I'll consider myself pretty lucky! Anyway, I don't mean to sound ultra negative - besides the aforementioned, the show was excellent. I really think hearing the new material live gave it some "oomph". Blue Room was fantastic. I hope they come around again, maybe play at a bigger place - anyone on the list see the show at the Riviera in '95? That was a perfect place for the Orb to perform. # 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: BluRoom@aol.com Subject: (orb) OT - Music recommendation Date: 24 Apr 2001 21:23:36 EDT Hey all, I hope you won't mind the OT post, but since I've picked up so many good music recommendations from the list I wanted to give one back.

Maybe it's just 'cause we had to wait so long to see them again in Toronto. That being said... It was very cool to meet Ben who had lumps on his head and inspired me to bring Twizzlers, James who actually lives in Toronto but mistakenly called me Grant, and Gavin who was happy that I liked his (dare I say it?) audience recording of LX at Smart Bar and had many many Orb wristbands on from a very very long drive. My girlfriend (first Orb show) also mentioned that she had never smelled so much pot at any other concert before which brings us to another topic also recently discussed right here. I have got to say that smokin' at a show and flailing wildly at a show are not necessarily related and it should not be assumed that they are. Being high and being rude do not go hand in hand. People who flail deserve to get elbowed in the head if they are being ignorant to those around them. It is only after you bash them in the head that they notice because it hurts a lot. Regular shoving does not seem to work because in a crowd you expect it. As an experiment this was the first Orb show that I saw high as a kite and I have to say it was an experience but not a necessity. Enough of the ranting...

What it really comes down to is this: People are jerks. Not all of them, and not under every set of circumstances, but anyone has the potential to be a jerk. This in addition to the fact that, for some reason, more people seem to be jerks at clubs and concerts, explains what we have all experienced at least once or twice at a club or concert venue.

If the Orb (or any band for that matter) allowed taping the boots would be fantastic with the right equipment. A lot of what you hear on bootlegs by the Orb and Stones Roses were done with inferior equipment and recorded in stealth. As a fan of many bands who allow recording at their shows I can honestly say that in many cases I prefer the well-made AUD over the SBD. Hull > I don't mean to urinate on anyone's bonfire, but of all the live shows > bootlegs I've heard [not just the Orb] the sound quality is shit. Yeah bootleg recording truly is an art. It requires a lot of skill and a lot of practice, and usually some luck. But if you want to hear a bootleg that really is of excellent sound quality, check out Orbital: Live in Birmingham. It sounds like a studio album. > Not just the "quality" of the sound, but added crowd noise, acoustics etc > etc - surely the solution would be to get friendly with someone on the sound > desk? You have to find soundboard boots. I agree that often times crowd recordings suck, but sometimes they're not bad. You have to keep in mind that when you listen to a studio album, especially by a grou like the orb, there were weeks and weeks of work put into all the details; the mixing, the effects, the panning, the levels, filters, etc etc ad nauseum. Not only do you not get this with a live recording, but usually you're working from a single sound source (mic or soundboard), which limits you even more, to say nothing of other problems. > I'm sure that they record them all anyway - All the DJ mix tapes are done > from the sound desk. That's not always true. :) And a lot of times the reason those exist is because the DJ's record them themselves to listen to later. > I've got numerous Stone Roses bootlegs for example, and to be honest they > are just pathetic.

It's all about who recorded it, and the conditions under which it was recorded.

And *we* are disagreeing with the idea that you LINK these people to doing substances. What I said before was that people who dance like that aren't necessarily on drugs. You said that she was high and that's why she was behaving that way. Note you say: There *are* people that get high and do freaky stuff that bothers you. Fair enough. There are also people who do that and DON't get high in order to do so. Your argument implies that there is some kind of cause and effect type relationship between smoking and acting like an idiot. THAT is what I am disagreeing with. :) Your words: "There are people who drink or smoke or whatever and get wrapped up and ignore others and they should go in a corner." I agree with you that people who need space to dance (I do! :P) should move to an area where there is less space. But to assume that the REASON for their acting that way is the substances they have ingested is wrong. That's what we disagree upon. What I'm trying to get across is that its silly to say "Those people who are flailing about are all stoned" because the simple fact is that they are not. Nor is there a relationship going the other way; people who smoke don't ALL dance like idiots or act like idiots. This is the point upon which we agree. :) > Your mileage may vary. Maybe some of you enjoy that kind of experience > or feel it goes with the territory. I don't. Many people I know don't. Well, as much as we'd all love to go to a club where everyone has their own little space and doesn't have to touch anyone else or violate their personal space, this is not the case. Club owners oversell, patrons want to both be as physically close as possible to the group to be able to see, and also want to dance. I think they should have the right to. But its up to each individual person to decide WHERE in a space they should dance. It is bad judgement in THIS area that you are angry at, and I think you should direct your anger accordingly, as opposed to focusing it upon some assumed CAUSE for these people's inability to judge where to dance. Am I making sense or am I just sounding like an idiot? :) Personally, being a tall man who weighs a lot, I am forced to find space. If this means I have to leave the immediate stage area or that I must find a spot to dance on the edge of the dancefloor, than so be it. I am considerate of others and I know how much it sucks to be stepped upon, smacked, etc, by someone trying to take more space than is available. > Fire away, I'm done trying to explain.

This is the point upon which we agree. :)< OK, I'm not coming across the right way then. Try this. I'm not suggesting that all who smoke dance like idiots or become rude, etc. On the contrary, there were people who were smoking around me who did ~not~ act like this. There were also people drinking who were cool. No problem whatsoever. I'm not uptight about the chemicals. HOWEVER - this particular girl got stoned, proceeded to "get into her own world" for lack of a better term, and then do the dancing, etc. I wrote before that I attributed this ~partly~ to the pot, not entirely. Certainly I know there are plenty of people out there who don't require substances to be jerks. I would never try to make a blanket statement like "all the pot smokers at the show were idiots and oblivious, etc.". That would be rather hypocritical of me to do considering my past. So, with my "get in a corner" statement - what I was trying to say was, if you're going to get stoned ~and~ become oblivious and self absorbed as this person did, find your own area. I consider drinkers and straight people who act the same way in the same light, but because my experience was with someone who was smoking I used only that in trying to make my point. >>Well, as much as we'd all love to go to a club where everyone has their own little space and doesn't have to touch anyone else or violate their personal space, this is not the case.

I feel that her being high was partly a cause in her being so oblivious. Surely, anyone who's gotten high has at some time gotten to a point where you're a bit wrapped up in yourself and not so aware of your surroundings? >>Personally, being a tall man who weighs a lot, I am forced to find space.

Despite arm smacking, several possible headbutts, and politely asking to him cool down, he continued to put a damper on our night. It all sums up to this. In the presence of a musical artist that they have paid to see, someone who feels they have the right to express themselves above the concerns of all others around them will do so no matter what someone else tells them. This flailng lady who has become so infamous on our list incorporated toking into her idea of expressionalism, but would have most likely expressed her self to Blueroom's inconvenience even if she hadn't toked simply because in her illconceived mind she had the right.

I have to agree. Occasionally I'm just not in the mood to do anything related to the outside world. So I just run amok in my mail program pressing 'D' until my mailbox is nice and empty. Then there are days (like today?) where I take the time to produce a carefully crafted individual response to each and every single message that I come across. I think it's some sort of psychological disorder, probably. 8I 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

Make sure not to push too hard or for too long. Always take a break. You *can* damage your cornea, lens, and optic nerve from this with prolonged abuse. You can tell when it starts to hurt or when your eyes and the muscles around them start to ache, for one. And when light begins to seem irritating or unbearably bright (photophobia). Symptoms can be similar to a migraine or to optic nerve damage or tumor. The colors and shapes happen because of direct pressure being applied from the back of the eyeball to the termination of the optic nerve in the retina. You're not *actually* seeing anything, but you're making the nerve believe something is happening. The random noise sent down the nerve gets translated to colors and shapes by your brain. Great fun.

I know what you mean, and I worry in Denver that if people don't respond enough, they'll never come back. I like it though that some people stand around and some people dance (try to do both myself). It's why the Orb part is better than the Witchman part, there's more to pay attention to. And it prevents flailing, no?

Given a choice between what you've described and a reserved-seat show in some sterile arena or amphitheater, I'll take the general admission, standing club atmosphere any day, even with all its inherent annoyances.

I admit that I see colors when I'm dealing with ceartain things. For me different months have different colors: Jan - White Feb - Red Mar - pale yellow Apr - deep blue May - light tan / yellow Jun - navy blue Jul - white w red trim Aug - leather Sep - tan Oct - orange Nov - brown Dec - white with a black border ..but I also imagine the months strung out in perspective along a table or something. The early months are off toward my left, and the later months down toward my right. When I'm looking ahead in time, the perspective changes and the later months are more sharple pointing away from me. (This is hard to describe, but I really see it..) But notice how each of the colors have something to do with the month itself -- Februrary being red because of Valentines day? And December and January being white because of the snow? I don't know about everybody else, but I picked up my color associations from the things themselves. I'm pretty sure that when I was small, I had some calendar that had pictures for each of the months and those pictures were based on those colors.. As for why I always see the timeline from left to right in a slight perspective view, I have no idea.. -Jason # 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: Joseph Hannah Subject: Re: (orb) Turn on the Fans!

Although my opinion is that it's a psychological process, I wouldn't consider it any less significant for being so. Psychology is what we all have to live in, after all.... There's also no reason to consider it less mystical or mysterious, either, if we find that interesting or pleasing. It's just language anyway.

You'll find a large number of such people in the arts, such as in music, dance, or the visual arts (particularly painting). A neighbor and 'avant garde' artist friend of mine once noted the fact that she could reliably make connections between colors and sounds. I tried a little test once, giving her some sounds and asking for colors for them. A few days later she gave me the exact same colors for the sounds, and it wasn't through memorization (she didn't have a memory *near* as good as mine -- probably too much weed). She had had this capability since she could remember, and it was certainly enhanced by psychedelics but they weren't necessary. I believe a musician in the 1930s made an organ that utilized the pairing between certain sounds and color. The `chromatone' or somesuch? 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

Synthesia refers to the mixing of two sensory modalities, like tasting colors or seeing sounds. I actually had a synthesetic (not sure if that's really a word) during the Portland, Or. date of the happy happy joy tour in '95. As the main loop of Occidental revealed itself, suddenly the tones manifested themselves as giant juice dripping pieces of aural fruit, yes I was on drugs, but that didn't make it any less incredible. Most interesting was the fact that I didn't really see the "musical fruit" as much as I felt their impact upon my body. I am completely convinced that this experience could have occurred while I was sober, it just coincidentally occurred while tripping, although the fact that the Orb was playing probably had a lot to do with it. BTW, Anybody have a copy of 5.4.97 show, I had another peak experience although no synethesia during the Blue Room that night and would do ANYTHING to get my hands on it, it showed up on Napster a little while ago but then the bastards quickly blocked it before I could get the whole show.

Obviously, with the heat-related technical problems they had, the Detroit show wasn't at the top of the list. But he did say that he wasn't checking e-mail during his road trip. He was keeping a journal, so once the tour ends, we should give him a couple of days to recover, and then pester him for details.

Crippen" Subject: RE: Synesthesia (was Re: (orb) Color and music) Date: 26 Apr 2001 15:40:25 -0800 (AKDT) I think that synesthesia has a lot to do with the creativity and imagination of the individual. It's certainly a fact that I can turn mine on and off at will. If I sit back, relax, and chill out I can pick up visual patterns and colors, textures, smells, tastes, and sounds, all crossing over from one sense to the next. For me this is a reverse form of Zen meditation, focusing on *everything* instead of nothing at all. (And it's not transcendental because I don't want to go anywhere, just be right where I am.) I think the reason that people experience synesthesia in a primarily visual manner is due to the fact that humans are rather obviously highly visually oriented. Most of our lives are spent concentrating on things we see and things we read. Certainly we can experience synesthesia via other means, sometimes the experience being so widespread that it is simply common knowledge, like the bleeding over between sound and language. Listen to raw static white noise or better yet two out-of-phase sine waves. Eventually you will stop hearing the *sound* and start to hear language, vocal patterns, imagined words and short phrases. This is synesthesia between the aural sense and the linguistic sense (which are two genuinely separate things IMNSHO). Synesthesia is less common for senses which we humans don't tend to emphasize as much, such as touch and smell. But when you feel all itchy because you've seen something unpleasant you're experiencing synesthesia as well. A crossover between the sense of the unpleasant and the sense of creepy-crawlies on your skin. It really seems to me to depend on imagination and creativity. Dull normals in their gray suits and bland cars watching television and drinking Miller Lite don't get synesthesia very often because they lack imagination. They don't make connections between one sense and another, or even a sense and a memory. When this does happen they seem genuinely surprised at something which is just an ordinary (though certainly still wonderful and fascinating) experience to me. People who've had psychedelic experiences, particularly those of the positive kind (sorry you CIA MK-ULTRA victims:) tend to pay more attention to their sensory and mental experiences than the ordinary mere human ('mehum'). Orbonauts tend to be positive towards experimentation (or just downright abuse:) with psychedelics. It's no surprise then that we experience synesthesia more than the average person. We probably experience a lot more hallucination too, like feeling people behind us who aren't there, or changes in temperature that don't happen (for two simple examples). I'm a hacker as well as an Orbonaut. I not only explore the inner spaces of my creative and imaginative mind through music and dance (and the occasional recreational pharmaceuticals:), but I explore the spaces of logic and rationality in my mind, quite often to their total limits through hacking on programs or working out logical and mathematical problems. So I think because I get both halves so heavily exercised I tend to pay attention not only to the nifty hallucinatory and synesthetic experiences I have listening or dancing to music, but I also have the other half of my mind running alongside, playing its own games with my imagination and taking furious notes about what happens. If anyone ever gets a chance to trip with me they'll get to see what happens... Sometimes I end up playing thought games and creating hallucinations in a totally *concious* and purposeful manner. Which is pretty cool, like lucid dreaming while awake. The real fun is when other people join in... :) 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

The latter happens in the mind, but sometimes bleeds over into vision, particularly when helped by certain chemicals.

Or the colour named after the fruit? The word orange comes from Middle French, which derives from the Old Provencal 'auranja'. This is from Arabic 'naranj' which is from Persian 'narang', from Sanskrit 'naranga'. In Sanskrit the word 'naranga' means 'orange tree'. I think there's long been an association between the color orange and the fruit. It may not be possible to separate the origins of the two, at least in the Indo-European and Semitic language families. It's basically a chicken and egg problem. I'll look in the OED the next chance I have, but I doubt I'll get anything clearer. If I were to assume that one meaning preceded the other I'd say that the color word came from the fruit. It's too coincidental that the two are the same in so many languages. Presumably most of these languages (and I'm thinking of a number, all of which use some variant of the same word) borrowed both the color and the fruit word at the same time, having previously had no use for referring to the color. If you read the synesthesia link and saw this paper http://web.mit.edu/synesthesia/www/trends.html then you'd know that orange is one of the later colors to develop in the order of assimilation into a language. The simplest languages in color expression only differentiate between white and black. This is not to say that they live in a dichromatic world, but that such societies have no use for words for many colors, and the two (or three, black, white, and red) suffice. So I'd bet that most of the languages that you find with the term orange meaning both color and fruit all borrowed this in a pattern that points back at one original source. Perhaps that's Sanskrit, perhaps not (I'd doubt it). In any case, these languages simply did without until the fruit was introduced. HTH :) 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

Essentially, a "lucid dream" is a dream during which occurence one is *conscious* of the fact that he is dreaming. I have experienced a *tremendous* number of lucid dreams in the past couple years (on average, one every two weeks). I use mine to experience extreme fear. Don't laugh--not as bizarre as it sounds. I basically get the rush from a terrifying experience, but without any of the danger. For me, I am terrified of heights and deep water (despite the fact that I'm an excellent swimmer), so I "fly" quite a bit, and explore the deepest depths of the oceans in these dreams. The sensations are so incredibly real--it's really quite amazing! I most frequently experience lucid dreams under two conditions: 1.) If my daughter wakes up in the middle of the night (thus, waking both me and my wife up as well), and I try to get back to sleep, but cannot. I'll lay in bed for as much as TWO HOURS before falling back to sleep (a sort of insomnia, I suppose), and then I'll drift off eventually. I have lucide dreams in this condition about 50% of the time. 2.) If I wake up duirng "normal" times (for me, about 7:00 a.m.), and on those rare occasions, I get to go back to sleep (the occasional Saturday morning), and I put some music in the cd player (usually David Arkenstone's _In the Wake of the Wind_, Tangerine Dream's _Le Parc_, and usually one other electronic album), and go back to sleep. About 25% of the time, I have a lucid dream then. (Actually, I don't use these dreams to explore "fear" so much as revel in the atmosphere produced by the music, as one can hear the music while experiencing dreams.) I'm rambling. Anyone else experience this stuff? Incidentally, O.O.B.E.'s (out-of-body experiences) are very likely a variation of lucid dreams. When I experience lucid dreams, I frequently feel like I'm leaving my body. There's a weird "rushing sound" in my head, and it's a scary-yet-wonderful experience. Enought of this. I've gotta get back to work. Later!

There is no sure-fire method, but different techniques work for different people. LaBerge suggests keeping a "dream log" by your bed, and write down every dream you have. Eventually you will come to realize some "patterns" or recurring "themes" in your dreams, and will hopefully recognize them AS dreams during the dream itself. Incidentally, many people who start to become lucid end up waking up as a result. LaBerge suggested two techniques to AVOID waking up after becoming lucid--and they both work, 'cause I've tried them both: 1.) Make yourself fall backwards in the dream. In other words, you're standing up...just let yourself fall backwards. 2.) Make yourself spin around in a circle a few times. These both sound really strange, but during a lucid dream, the sensations are almost as real as the real thing, and this somehow triggers some chemical reaction in the brain to keep you asleep. I was a
