I too was dismayed to see the Area One tour has such corporate sponsorship, but can't say I was that surprised. In Moby's defence tho' I am sure that he donated all his Calvin Klein money to homeless charities.....but he doesn't like to talk about it : ) What happened to the days when raves would steal corporate logo's and bastardize them for their flyers?

I would like to see Paul Oakenfeld and Moby and Orb (or just LX or whatever the hell is going on) but I dont think I'll pay for this. I was never heavily into Moby, but I like him and man I was so pissed at his MTV tour with Bush (Yeah, because they have such similar music styles). I paid for it anyway because I wanted to see Moby, but the show was terrible. This Area:One stuff is pure BS if you ask me. But no one did, I guess. Oh well.

I wanted to second this. But first! Preface! :) So I started listening to moby when I was in high school, like 1992/93 when he was doing things like Bring Back my Happyness. Borderline cheesy house music with nice piano hooks and dope underground techno a-la 'go'... Then came the animals album and after that I think moby's head disappeared up his arse. Did anyone read the interviews in which he ragged on orbital (and has since apologized, Mr. Too-Little-Too-Late)? To say nothing of his conversion to concert venues (along with the appropriate price changes and crowd changes; can't dance when you're crushed against 4,000 people), I can only give the Its Hard to Let You Go genius so much leighway. I also remember him preaching about how he never does drugs and everyone who does is bad, then later I remember reading about him talking about smoking pot at a show. Fucking hypocrite.

I saw him at a local club on his last two tours (both times "free" on a two-drink voucher, that's how poorly the shows sold), and both times he closed the show with this RIDICULOUS "primal scream" performance, basically him standing on his keyboards and uttering this looooong, one-note shriek at the sky or the gods or whatever a Moby howls at. I can't for the life of me figure out how such a savvy* guy can not know how utterly stupid he looks doing this. I don't know if I've ever seen a more self-indulgent, self-aggrandizing act during a concert. Makes your average N-Stync seem like the kings of modesty and the consummate showmen. Also, might his "performance" on this tour simply consist of a long reel of TV commercials, movie soundtracks and videogames?

Yeah I saw him @ the hammerstein ballroom in NYC (I HATE HATE HATE that venue, but don't get me started on that...) about 5 or 6 months ago. It was the same sort of Moby-stroking-my-ego sort of performance. At one point he says "I've always wanted to play a 10 minute guitar solo at a concert, so now I will" and he does. It wasn't even particularly good, and all the other musicians just hung around waiting. He did live renditions of his house tracks that sucked, and the last song was Thousand, during which all the house lights were off except for about 30 colored flashing lights and a spot light all focused on him during the entire song. Plus he kind of held his arms up in a rapturous looking pose the whole time.

Well there's the K&D Sessions remix album, which was a compilation but was also an "official" album. Then, when sales of K&D Sessions really took off, some label (Shadow?) reissued Conversions, an old mix album they'd done, to ca$h in on their popularity. And then there's the various side-project material, from Peace Orchestra and the previously-mentioned Tosca... But the short answer is yes, in that G-Stoned is the only "official" K&D release with original tunes on it. When's the next one coming out???

Witchman told me that in addition to the Moby opening dates, the Orb would do their own headlining swing back through the states (kinda like they did on Orblivion), which makes it much, much easier for me to blow off this Area:One mess.

Alot of people that listen to Moby haven't been exposed to very much electronic dance music, and I think that simply bringing that sound into the mainstream is a positive thing. Think about it this way, if you had a nine year old daughter would you rather she listen to the Backstreet Boys or Moby. Compared to all the crap out there Moby ain't that bad. I own Play and while alot of it sucks (i.e. Southside) some of the tracks sound pretty good in the middle of a set.

I mean I see all these people saying they listen to some of the coolest electronica and so I take a listen, and it's something like the venga boys. They think that's what techno is, and always has been/will be. More music getting attention like Moby's will prob. just make a whole new generation of candy ravers, who if they listened to a lot more electronica that's out there (I.E. orb, FSOL, autechre, death in vegas, etc., etc.,) would prob. think it's just a bunch of crappy, pointless music. But then again I don't want all these bands that I love to stay somewhat underground, so they should be played instead of Moby, but the big money machines want something that is catchy and simple to play on all their ads.

It seems to contradict the point of why he started. He wanted to make something new; fresh and original; something for the underground kids to get into. Now, it's not made especially for them, but for bubbly sorority girls and their keg pumping yahoo boyfriends whooping it up at Spring Break. The point was lost in the midst of some MTV-inflated ego trip. Moby still puts on an air that he's just a timid, humble guy collecting records somewhere. But beneath all that pretentious post punk pseudo-intellectual bulls**t he spews out of his word hole is the realization that he's a hack; a fraud. ...People fail to realize that Moby's been using the same equipment on his album since 1993. The only difference that made "Play" work was adding those blues loops. The rest was just good marketing. You get one hit that takes off ["Bodyrock" was first]. Then push the artist to market the others in a way that would grab the attention of a public with a poor attention span via commercials. Maybe Moby meant in the beginning when making "Play". But once the first single started to pick up, he treated his music not as art, but as a commodity to be sold like those cool new running shoes or that intense minty gum on the TV ads. The public hears it on the TV and then on the radio. Then in the mall at their favortie clothing store. Then, they think, "Wow! This must be something hip. Maybe I should buy a copy and see what the craze is about. Maybe I'll be or at least feel hip." Perfect plan. Popularity through ominpresence. Shove it down their throats and they've eventually roll over and buy it; maybe even learn to like it. Most musicians have some sort of a message in their music. Moby sure had one alright. It wasn't a message that benefits his artistic integrity. It conveys that selling yourself can always make you a great deal of money, even if any knuckle headed kid in Jncos zooted on ecstacy off the street can take his place easily. He should know that anyone can do what he does with the right equipment and the right people behind him. This rings true of many other pop stars [i.e.-- Dr. Dre, Limp Bikzit, The Backsync Degrees, Britney Aguilera [a deliberate mistake to prove there's no difference in the two], Ricky Martin]. It just reenforces that hollow nature of the music industry. _________________________________________________________________ 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: "Otis Brown" Subject: (orb) moby Date: 02 May 2001 04:03:55 -0000 I must say that his stuff between "Ambient" and "Animal Rights" is interesting.

I think play is a great album. let me say that again. i think play is a great album. one of the best to come out in it's year. Let me also be clear that up to play, besides ambient which i think is .. decent, i havent liked any of mobys stuff. I am also not vegan, nor am i anti-drug, nor am i christian. to "sell out" it's something one hears alot. I personally, don't think moby has sold out quite yet. yasee i dont belive that he made play with the express idea to spew it far and wide on every commercial that came along. i think it was a great album. i think it contained some brilliant tracks. i think alot of other people think that too. i think pepsi (or whoever) has a fuckload of money. i think moby would be stupid not to take it. if he writes his next album withthe express intent on creating tired pop songs that will sell well to commercials and radios. well then maybe he has sold out. did alex sell out when LFC ended up on the commercials it did. hell no .. he took a check and said 'thanks'. every artist wants to create first and foremost. if people like their work, and want to pay them for it... well it's all cake. as far as moby and his stated beliefs and his subsiquent hypocracy... well .. whatever, havent you ever known anyone who changed? myself ive known quite a few who have crossed the line from herbavore to carnivore in the last few years. ive known people who have had a falling out with their belief structure. i dont think its uncommon. think about it this way .. you see a celebrities life, or really most peoples lives, as discreet slices in time. moby is a vegan. moby eats a hamburger. moby has a whole swath of time between the two events. maybe he decided he wasnt getting enough protein or iron in his diet between those events. maybe he just decided that cow is tasty. he had time to think about that and work it through for him. i really dont think its for any of you to judge him. *sigh* here's to hoping lx comes back around for a second leg .. the fucking gorge sucks.Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 17:30:26 -0700 (PDT) ** Friday August 3, 5:00pm at The Gorge ** Moby, New Order, Outkast, The Roots, Rinocerose, The Orb, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, Timo Maas Tickets on sale at all outlets and online tomorrow (Sat) at 1:00pm.

Wait a sec. I can name dozens of albums that have the artist on the cover and are way worth it! Just to start the First three Peter Gabriel records have his picture on it. And What about David Bowie(don't even think about knocking these two artists, they have been more influential in all kinds of music, just listen to Passion).

That would have sucked (more than last week when I showed up for a Rocket From the Crypt gig at 12:15 and they were on the last song of their encore).Hmmm. I REALLY hope that the whole Orb is playing when the evil-empire festival comes to Vancouver. I would like another Orb experience, they haven't been here since the Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy tour in '95. Actually, I'll probably go regardless to see The Roots and my favourite band from grade nine, New Order. About Moby- his first album was good, then he sucked. And Intel is evil. If I see a blue guy, I will trip him and laugh. All my Macintosh-using cells are telling me not to go, but...I...must...see...LX! Is it really stupid expensive? That would suck too. Oh well, I can't complain too much, in the next two months I get to see Wagon Christ, Autechre, Tortoise and Air, maybe Radiohead (if it's not a million dollars) and maybe Stereolab (all according to Pollstar). Oh yeah, and for anyone who has listened to my streaming station, I actually changed it a bit (and there's more to come). I have the internet machine at work now, so I can waste time effectively instead of staring out the window. __________________________________________________________ Get your FREE personalized e-mail at http://www.canada.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: Simon Bennett Subject: (orb) People on Album Covers Date: 02 May 2001 13:50:17 +0800 (WST) : And do not forget about the beloved Richard D.

This is a good point. I mean, I'll buy a new Prodigy album (considering I went through the effort to pick up just about all their singles--I even have a white label of "Everybody In the Place" that includes "Rip Up the Soundsystem"), but their moment has passed, it would seem. > if that's the case.. erm.. they should have done a live album! yeah :) (jokes) Actually (joking aside) they should have. The one show I've seen, they tore the roof off the place (The Mayan in LA). A great deal of their stuff is better live--and some stuff (like "Rock & Roll," built around an Ultramagnetic MCs sample and a drum loop from Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Peekaboo") never appears anywhere because of licensing difficulties. In a way, they have released live material: "Electronic Punks" compiles some live footage with their videos up to "Poison". > if i ever get back into music, i'll do my best to try that :) the Orb were > doing pretty well at that 'one album release per year' bit up until > Orblivion, too, counting live/remix albums of course. True, and they even kept it up until "U.F. Off": Orblivion in '97, U.F. Off in '98, and they would have released Cydonia in '99, if the Universal/Polygram problems hadn't surfaced, right? Sheesh, if it weren't for the record company, we could have had at least another two Orb albums: Cydonia and whatever came after. Something like: what if we got Cydonia 1.0 and then an album that was more consistently in the realm of "Thursday's Keeper," "Hamlet of Kings," etc.? Less griping about Cydonia, certainly. Perhaps that other album would be closer to the live show in sound? -- 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.

Granted, some > >of it ends up dodgy at that pace... (that, and the fact that the Ozrics have > >a tendency to repeat themselves). Until the end of 1999 Fila Brazillia were releasing their music on a regular basis. Bullitnuts did the same thing. Alas, they broke up, although their former front man, Muzz, has had two solo albums in as many years. Of course, we cannot forget Baby Mammoth, who release something new every year (and who, in mid '96 - early 97 released TWO of their best efforts). Their new release is just around the corner. Additionally, the German acts Lemongrass, DePhazz and Marcel have all had yearly releases. The fabulous, and enviously talented, Yonderboi has also put out two releases in the last two years. In the case of Pork Recordings acts (Baby M, Fila, et al.) this kind of output can be attributed to one thing: The label does not make excessive demands on its artists to follow in the steps of their more mainstream counter parts. When is the last time you read a Baby Mammoth interview? Do you remember what the last Bullitnuts video looked like? And what mega corporation sponsored the last Fila Brazillia tour? "Hey did you see Banabila on the cover of the new Revolution? Man! That new Bentley of his in the gatefold is wicked!" I guess what I am trying to say is, perhaps more bands with Ozric's work ethic would exist, were it not for the constant pimping (of the good and bad kind) mainstream electronic acts must engage in when dealing with a major label. Then again, when your agent, your manager, your label, and the label's publishing company are taking $.93 of every dollar YOU make for THEM (not to mention charging artists for promotions out of that remaining $.07), major label artists have to whore themselves just to make ends meet. With this in mind, I turn to Cydonia. For me, it was sad to see one of my all-time favourite bands have to compromise their unique vision due to label MISmanagement. From what I heard of Cydonia V1 and the preview tracks on theorb.com I, like a lot of you, was totally stoked on hearing the new stuff. But I, also like the rest you, had to watch as our heroes best efforts were thwarted. Andy and Alex had something special and it was just about to blow up. But constant delays and executive-level buggery derailed all that. Andy got on the dole, Alex continued on, but with a gimpy leg, and the suits wrote it all off as a concept album wherein we see the inner working of an Martian's mind as it dreams. : / Bastards...

AFAIK. I just remember Liam Howlett saying in Mixmag that if he released "Rock & Roll" as a single, he'd be paying Kool Keith (the Ultramagnetic MC sampled in the song) forever. Hence, he hasn't released it. >> Sheesh, if it weren't >> for the record company, we could have had at least another two Orb albums: >> Cydonia and whatever came after. > > maybe we would have, and maybe we wouldn't have.. if you want to talk about > possibilities, this being a rather remote one, the Orb could have sold out > in the intervening time, then were would we be? "oh, if only Island had > stepped in and mucked up the release of their album for a few more years, > then maybe they would have stayed true to themselves.." :) Heh. Totally agree. As I wrote my little speculation, I kept thinking, "well, could things have happened any other way?" And, in the realm of "selling out"--wouldn't selling out have meant milking the LFC/Perpetual Dawn formula for all it was worth? Considering that there weren't really recognizable singles on anything until Orblivion... and, for crying out loud, how could a band that made "Pomme Fritz" and "Orbus Terrarum" *ever* sell out? We also have the underground consolation of having at least two different versions of Cydonia. Of course, there's a different threshold for selling out in the States, I think. There's no way the Orb would get to the top of the charts in any guise (and "U.F. Orb" got to no. 7 on the UK charts, right?), at least not in the States. But, then again, how do we explain Radiohead's recent success with a relatively difficult album to digest aurally? Prodigy's "Fat of the Land" (the last Electronic release to hit no. 1 in the states-- Fatboy Slim and Moby, while popular, haven't charted that high yet, I don't think) isn't a terribly difficult album, and, in a weird way, almost leads the way for the yo-metal (Limp Bizkit, etc.) that's been dominating recently. Want to see an interesting dissection of what it means to sell out? On our PBS station last night was a Frontline documentary called "The Merchants of Cool." Very scary stuff (www.pbs.org). -- Justin Roby # 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: Justin Roby Subject: Re: (orb) moby (and cycles in techno releasing) Date: 02 May 2001 10:11:51 -0400 Well, I understand that they're still performing (I know they performed after Emerson left).

I mean I see all these people saying they listen to some of the > coolest electronica and so I take a listen, and it's something like the > venga boys.

But then Aha! That's where you're wrong. The problem is this: most people are idiots. There are many MANY people in the world (I'd say the majority of them) who really are content to listen to the media created for them by the mega-conglomerate corporations who, at least in the US, control about 90% of all entertainment media. I'm talking about Rupert Murdoch, Aol Time Warner, Viacom, etc. Take viacom for instance. Viacom corp FULLY owns the following companies: Infinity Broadcasting, MTV, CBS, BET, Paramount Pictures, Nickalodeon, Blockbuster video, United Cinemas, UPN, VH1, Showtime, the movie channel, Pay Per View, Comedy Central, Kind World productions, Scribner Publishing, Simon & Schuster, Touchstone Publishing, Paramount Theme Parks, the entire star trek franchise, and the list goes on and on and on (see http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/cool/giants/viacom.html for the full list). Anyways, when you have a business model like this, a single small group of high powered execs can choose a group, promote its records on the radio stations it owns, show the videos on the TV stations it also owns, advertise its albums on its TV stations and include songs in its shows, offer all kinds of cross promotional deals (eg: blockbuster video gives you a FREE backstreet boys CD when you rent 3 videos). Look at the way Howard Stern gets cross-leveraged; the companies that syndicates his radio show, published his book, produced his movie, produces all of his merchandise are all owned by one mega conglomerate. And these companies are not doing this to bring you the best music or to open your mind to interesting musical ideas. They're carefully choosing groups that project a certain IMAGE that they're trying to sell. Take Britney Spears. She's a self professed virgin and all of these things, but flaunts her sexuality. And why is she famous? Because this nympho cum catholic school girl thing SELLS. Same thing goes for limp biscut. Someone at MTV decided they wanted this band to be famous, so now they are. Nuff said. Do you think its easy for your average idiot, who watches MTV and listens to CBS-affiliated radio stations, and watches hollywood movies to NOT be at least effected by these subtle advertisements? Especially if they live someplace where their choices of alternatively news/print/internet mediums are limited? But enough about my economics raving. :) Back to the original topic: You're better off in the long run accepting the fact that people are idiots and integrating it into your life rather than being angry at the fact and/or the people who demostrate its truth. Its not their fault they're idiots and you probably wont be able to do anything about it where you could see the results in your lifetime... In the end, the fact is, a lot of people like crappy pointless music. Even given the choice between the backstreet boys and the orb, having listened to both extensively, there are a lot of people in this country who would still listen to the backstreet boys... > something that is catchy and simple to play on all their ads. I guess in the > end things will work themselves out, or else cheesy pop will continue to > rule the masses... The latter. Sorry to burst your bubble, but a few independant musicians don't stand a chance against companies with billions of dollars of revenue constant focus of the publics eye. As a side note: this is why I so strongly support things like napster.

But, I can't say that VW uses music into their branding and the artist becomes TRL's newest guest of the week. The reason why VW is still pulling in record months of sales and other car-makers are laying off thousands is because they know what the customer base wants and doesn't overuse their branding.

I already know the UK general release has 1 more track than the US release, but checking on Amazon.com they mention an alleged UK version with 2 extra tracks. Unfortunately, they do not provide a track list (i.e. is 1 of the 2 EDM?). I have been unable to find a definitive answer for any of this! So, being that I am an unfortunate US sap that already bought the neutered US release, I want to make sure I'm getting the most I can before I buy an import release. Any info is surely appreciated.

I think. What kind of website tries to sell a CD without giving the tracklisting? LFC apparently was on an earlier 14-track promo CD from VW ("Buy a car, get this lovely free CD"), even if it isn't on this one (not that we can tell...). My question is if Psychic TV's Roman P. made it onto either CD. I was shocked to hear it in the commercial, given PTV's history. I was surprised that VW used them (not to mention that they allowed the track to be used); and I'd be even more surprised if VW actually put them on either CD.

They're clever, and they always use great music. If it weren't for VW I wouldn't know who Nick Drake was. Not one of those ads made me think I need to buy a Beetle. Why? Because I don't let them -- I'm not that impressionable. Are they tapping into my subconcious? Maybe, but I've still got a 4-Runner parked in my driveway last time I checked. And how about the two new Nike ads with all the syncopatic dribbling? That's pure original creative genius -- it just also happens to be a Nike ad. I personally like my Adidas sneakers but Nike's commercials are way better -- and I *still* buy Adidas. How about the new Earthlink ads -- the editing in those is amazing as well. The same is true with The Gap. Now I can imagine probably every single person on this list thinks The Gap/Fisher Family is pure corporate crap in it's worst form, and I couldn't agree more; But their TV commercials are cool -- ok, at least original -- and often imitated. If you look past the product and look at the artistic elements of either VW, Nike, Earthlink or Gap's ads, they're cool -- What if the creative team at VW was hired to produce an Orb video? -- it would kick ass; and it's because I make that recognition that lets me appreciate the talents of the creative team hired by the corporate giant, and not give a rip about the product being shoved down my throat. Just like in music, music videos, TV game shows, TV Reality shows, movies, or any other profitable form of entertainment there are trend-setters and followers. A short list of trend-setters: Beck, Madonna, Dr. Dre, Who Want's to be a Millionaire?, The Real World, etc. You may not like anyone or anything I just mentioned, but at least give them credit for doing something new and having it work so well that everyone wants to copy it. And recognize that these entertainers are still around today for a reason -- they're smart -- they know what it takes to have a long career -- something a 'follower' can't comprehend (Madonna's choice to work with William Orbit is a perfect example of an intelligent businesswoman trying to stay one step ahead of the masses, the same is true about Dre's decision to produce Eminem). You see, I believe that in all things commercial, the people who do it 'first' should not be held accountable for the mass-REproduction of their clever ideas. When you do it first, it's not called selling out, it's called breaking out. Ford has been attempting to knock off VW's ads for awhile now and they all suck -- they can't do it -- and I hate them every time I see them. Why? Because Ford doesn't have the creative TALENT on staff to come up with a clever idea of their own. And hats off to VW for NOT using a Moby-type in their ads -- instead using lesser known artists like The Orb gives me respect for them. It makes me think "now there's an advertiser that really knows what's good and what's crap -- there's an advertiser who knows the difference between what's real and what's a xerox copy of innovative music." It's a shame that in electronic music the trend-setters tend not to be the bands that sell the most records, instead they are the bands that hold true to their art form, and try not to allow labels to infringe upon their creativity while *still* making a living. Then a follower comes along with no integrity and churns out an MTV'd version of the same stuff with a couple of pop hooks for pure profit. Or, sometimes, a trend-setter needs to put food on his family's plates and *has* to compromise. My definition of a sellout: Someone who allows gross-profit to compromise their artistic integrity. Did LX do this when he let VW use LFC? No. Why? Because the song didn't change one bit, he just re-sold it. Is that so bad? I'm sure he wasn't thinking "wow, this is gonna kick ass for a car commercial some day" when he was writing it. And at least he didn't mix in some sample of a bunch of tibetan monks chanting "I Love My Volkswagen" or something, which to me would be akin to Faith Hill singing a Pepsi hook -- and that, my friends, is truly selling out. As far as the Area: One festival goes, since it seems to be the root of this thread; I say whatever it takes to get a festival of electronic/hip hop musicians together in my hood is alright with me. What if it were a rave in a stinky warehouse and the lineup was just LX, Oakenfold, Carl Cox, and a handful of locals -- sans commercialization -- would you pay $75 for a ticket then? I've paid that much to see worse, and in worse venues than the Gorge (and no, the Gorge doesn't suck -- it's one of the most beautiful venues in the country, but don't take my word for it -- read any respectable review you can find (http://www.barstop.com/gorge/). I could care less if Intel's sponsoring it -- besides the quadraphonic sound thing in the DJ tent is a direct result of Intel's sponsorship. And maybe I can get a mouse mat or a blinking ball-point pen or something for free -- because I like 'free.' And I'm capable of going to a festival that has one or two sellout bands/artists and feel OK about myself, because the truth is I would still pay $75 to go to this festival if Moby or Intel weren't there, and if Moby's on while Oakenfold/LX/Cox is spinning, you won't find me at the main stage -- you'll find me where *I* want to be, because I choose not to let commercialization control me.

I don't know how rare the stuff they have up there is, since I haven't really looked for rare Daft Punk before on or offline.... anyone else know? ---- Jeff A Klein Bottle has zero volume, so we suggest that you do not use it as a personal flotation device. # 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: daft punk Date: 03 May 2001 11:09:23 -0700 DQo+QWxzbywgbm90IHRoYXQgSSB3YW50IHRvIGx1bXAgRGFmdCBQdW5rIGluIHdpdGggQWly LCBidXQgd2FzIGFueW9uZSBhcw0KPmRpc2FwcG9pbnRlZCB3aXRoIHRoZWlyIGxhdGVzdCBv ZmZlcmluZyBbRGlzY292ZXJ5XT8gVGhlaXIgdmlkZW8gW1N0b3J5DQo+QWJvdXQgRG9ncywg QW5kcm9pZHMsIEZpcmVtZW4gQW5kIFRvbWF0b2VzXSBpcyB3ZWxsIHdvcnRoIGEgd2F0Y2gu DQoNCiAgICAgICAgIGhtbS4uLmFwcGFyZW50bHkgaSdtIGdvaW5nIGFnYWluc3QgdGhlIGdy YWluIGhlcmUsIGJ1dCBpIExPVkUgImRpc2NvdmVyeSIuLi5pICpyZWFsbHkqIGxpa2VkIGFi b3V0IGhhbGYgdGhlIHNvbmdzIG9uICJob21ld29yayIsIGJ1dCB0aGUgb3RoZXIgaGFsZiB3 ZXJlIHByZXR0eSBkYW1uZWQgbWVkaW9jcmUuLmJ1dCB0aGUgbmV3IG9uZSwgaSB0aGluayBh bGwgdGhlIHRyYWNrcyBhcmUgdmVyeSBzdHJvbmcuLml0J3MgZ290IGEgZ29vZCBwYWNlIHRv IGl0LCBpIHRoaW5rLi5zcGVlZCB1cCBmb3IgYSBmZXcgc29uZ3MsIHNsb3cgZG93biBhIGJp dCwgc3BlZWQgdXAuLi5pIGFsc28gZG9uJ3QgaGF2ZSBhIHByb2JsZW0gd2l0aCBjaGVlenkg dm94IHRoZXkgc2VlbSB0byBsaWtlIG9uIHRoZSBuZXcgYWxidW0gKG9uZSBtb3JlIHRpbWUv ZXRjKS4uYWxsIGluIGFsbCwgaSB0aGluayBpdCdzIG9uZSBvZiB0aGUgYmVzdCBuZXcgY2Qn cyBpJ3ZlIGhlYXJkIGluIGEgd2hpbGUuLg0KICAgICAgICAgYWxzbywgdGhlIG5ldyBtdXNp YyB2aWRlb3MgZnJvbSB0aGUgbmV3IGFsYnVtIGFyZSAqQVdFU09NRSogYXMgd2VsbC4uaSd2 ZSBvbmx5IHRoZSBmaXJzdCAyIHNvIGZhci4udGhleSdyZSBkaXJlY3RlZCBieSB0aGUgZ3V5 IHRoYXQgZGlkIG9sZHNrb29sIGFuaW3pIHN0dWZmIChzdGFyYmxhemVycyBhbmQgYWxsIHRo YXQgamF6eikuLnN1cHBvc2VkbHkgdGhleSdyZSBtYWtpbmcgdmlkZW9zIGZvciBldmVyeSBz b25nIG9uIHRoZSBhbGJ1bSwgYW5kIGl0J3MgYSBjb250aW51aW5nIHN0b3J5IGxpbmUuLi5p IGhvcGUgdGhhdCB0aGV5IHJlbGVhc2UgYSBkdmQgb2YgdGhlbSBhZnRlciBpdCdzIGFsbCBk b25lLi50aGV5J3JlIGdyZWF0IHNvIGZhci4uaWYgYW55b25lIHdhbnRzIHRoZSBmaXJzdCAy IG9uIG9uZSBvZiB0aGUgdmFyaW91cyBmdHAncyBhcm91bmQsIGxldCBtZSBrbm93Li5pJ3Zl IGdvdCAnZW0uLg0KICAgICAgICBhbmQgaSBmaW5hbGx5IHJlZ2lzdGVyZWQgd2l0aCB0aGUg ZGFmdHB1bmsuY29tIGRlYWxpZSBsYXN0IG5pZ2h0Li5pIHdhcyBraW5kYSBkaXNhcHBvaW50 ZWQuLi5pdCdzIGdvdCByZW1peGVzIGFuZCB0aGF0IHN0dWZmLCBidXQgbm90IHRoYXQgZXhj aXRpbmcuLmkgYXQgbGVhc3QgZXhwZWN0ZWQgdGhlIG11c2ljIHZpZGVvcyB0byBzdHJlYW0g KGkgZGlkbid0IHNlZSAnZW0gdGhvdWdoKS4uLm9oIHdlbGwuLg0KICAgICAgICBzbyB5ZWFo LCBpIGdpdmUgbWFkIHByb3BzIHRvIHRoZSBuZXcgYWxidW0gOikgIGFuZCBpZiB5b3UgaGVh cmQgdGhlIGFkdmFuY2UgcHJvbW8gYW5kIGRpc21pc3NlZCBpdCwgc2V2ZXJhbCBvZiB0aGUg c29uZ3MgZ290IGltcHJvdmVkIG9uIHRoZSBmaW5hbCBtaXguLmRlZmluaXRlbHkgZm9yIHRo ZSBiZXN0Li4NCg0KICAgICAgICBhbmQgbm93IGJhY2sgdG8gbW9ieS4uLg0KICAgICAgICA7 KQ0KICAgICAgICBtYXR0Lg0KDQotLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0t LS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0NCldJTiAkMSwwMDAsMDAwIFBsYXkgTmV0dGF4 aSBMb3R0bw0KaHR0cDovL3N3ZWVwcy5uZXR0YXhpLmNvbQ0K # 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: John Goelzer Subject: RE: (orb) Air Date: 03 May 2001 14:11:20 -0500 > Whilst on the subject, does anyone have any > live recordings from TV etc?

Whether they have an archive online of > shows they've broadcast I don't know (don't have time to investigate right So...could whoever is recording this post a link to the appropriate page? Please? Speaking of live performances, if you were behind the soundboard at the SF Orb show, you could see someone doing live video mixing of concert footage during Witchman's set. They did *not* do this for the Orb set, and I don't know if they did it for Autolump; I was down on the floor for Autolump's set, but since I seemed to be an asshole magnet that night (3 separate incidents of extreme antisocial behavior in the space of Autolump's set), I gave up and joined my companions in the balcony right after Autolump. (My friend has a trick knee and uses a cane; she and my partner parlayed that into being let into the balcony long before the rest of the crowd, and they snagged the best seats in the house.) :D However, the Maritime has two outlets for live video; they stream it, and they also have a syndicated TV program...so...interested parties might want to keep their eyes open, and give a shout to the list if it comes up. 2B1 rotates their stream every so often, and they don't seem to have an accessible archive, so if and when it comes up, you need to nab it fast. 2B1 has also been known to release concert CDs of Maritime shows; I've heard a couple, and they sound great...an Orb concert release would be to die for. :) Chris np: Massive Attack - Singles Box Set # 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: (orb) OT Daft Punk Date: 03 May 2001 23:07:03 +0200 Digital Love : One of my favorite tracks of the year.

Your lucky SF! > WHOA!!!!! Can anyone confirm that this is actually in existence and fits > the description above???? I MUST HAVE THIS IF IT EXISTS!! Anyone???? The version of Once More they played in SF was strictly pre-recorded (everyone left the stage during it), so, whatever you heard is probably available on one of the various promos out there. (Personally, I found that a bit sterile, but without a vocalist, there wasn't much else they could do, I suppose...) And yes, there are two Jimmy Cauty remixes (long and short) of Once More...both promo only, the long version is on one of the 12"s, and the short version is on the promo CD.

A week or so before the Once More single was released, Jason Bentley played a version of Once More on the late nite Afterhours show on KROQ here in Los Angeles. This was the same show were he played the original version of Once More waaaay back when that I managed to record. This latest mix was one I never heard and Jason only described it later as "a rather strange mix" of the song. Very heavy beats, not breaks as I classify it, but I can understand it being called as such. Only heard it the one time, which fortunately I managed to record. As Jason Green said, Anyone ????

I'm still pretty sure that the bass line of the Alex version is taken from a Bentley Rhythm Ace tune (who may have taken it from someone else, of course) off of the self titled disc that was released on cd a few years back. I can't remember which tune it was on the disc, and I'm too lazy to go pull it out and scan it right now. The Alex version seems to be the studio elvis version and possibly some of the live version as well with the bass and drums lines looped for the bridge in the Alex version. It'd be nice if he could release the mix in some way where it's isolated from the rest of the tracks. Alex took a great song and made it better. Oh well, my .02.

It completely crazy, and > the best I've heard Madonna sound! I've heard this two or three months ago. It is a mix of Madonna's "Music" and Daft Punk's "Da Funk", both normal album versions, not some remixes. It was a very nice combination. AFAIK it is a bootleg (it looked like it), like a kind of limited edition for DJs or something, similar to some other 'strange' stuff like "Spiller vs. Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Groovejet". But this is the first time that I hear it was done by Fatboy Slim - I find this quite hard to believe and I think it's just done by some unknown DJ with a good idea and some extra time... Enjoy.

The only disadvantage is that is captures the native RA file, and you have to use Streambox Ripper to convert it to something else.

Have they? Well, considering that so far only three or so songs have come up as having "Sleeper" samples in them, I'd say they didn't do the obvious thing, really. Some of us haven't even seen Sleeper yet, so wouldn't know the samples from an Amen break ;) Besides, I always thought that sample in Towers of Dub was "Hello I'm Greg."

(Lazlo!) [Once More] [on Various: Pure Island: Winter Sampler 2001] CD: 2001 UK (Universal Island; PURECD 1) (Promo) 4:21 Once More The time is different than on any of the other versions I have, and it states Produced & Mixed By The Orb and Andy Hughes. Andy's name isn't listed as a mixer on any of the others I have either. It does have a bleep or two that I don't remember in all the other versions. A friend has mentioned that "Q" magazine has a CD on the cover of the current issue and that "Once More" is a track on the disc. Anyone care to elaborate on that one? I want to apologize to anyone that might have tried to access our webcast last Friday evening. Studio A's owner didn't show up till 7:30 PDT which was past the window I had stated I would throw down the Orb tracks. We did have a couple of hits once I got on (about 7:45).

I mainly got it for The Orb's track, but also for U2, Shaggy, Talvin Singh, Macy Gray & PJ Harvey... It *is* definately different from the "released" version of Cydonia... To my untuned ears (and track times, of course), it doesn't match... It actually sounds like different notes (higher notes & echoes) & drumbeats to any version I've listened to, and also fades out at the end... And, sad to say, I've just listened to 4 different versions on the trot (Version 1 CDR, Version 2 CDR, Released Album Version, Single Edit, Island Sampler)!! As for the Q Magazine sampler, that was the straight single version (3:55). There & again, the version of Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" sounds different to me as well!! l8rs, Nick ;-) > -----Original Message----- > > Recently picked up a sampler that should probably > be listed in the "compilation appearances" section > of the discography.

Date: 09 May 2001 17:41:40 +0200 MALARIA "Malaria! Versus" (Superstar, Germany) CD $24.99 RealAudio: http://64.27.65.90:8080/ramgen/othermusic/tfehlman.rm RealAudio: http://64.27.65.90:8080/ramgen/othermusic/sunelect.rm One of the more popular bands of the NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle or 'german new wave') movement of the early '80s, back again in remixed form, in part due to the attention of Chicks On Speed, whose cover of 'Kaltesklareswasser' (a minor hit in Germany) starts off this disc. But "Versus" isn't really just a remix album, nor is it solely a tribute record. For instance, Solex's version of 'Your Turn to Run' bears little resemblance to its inspiration, a kind of brilliant 'cover' in which she arranges samples in more or less the same rhythms and tones as the original. Malaria's brand of dead-voxed no wave, stiffer than Liliput but more yielding than The Normal, lends itself exceptionally well to a 'traditional' style remix (cut it up, add some beats), as Thomas Fehlmann provides (RA above). Malaria's flat vocals, a kin to techno's tribe, complement the beats rather than being the contrast of a liquidy house diva. Somehow, early German no-wave and electronics captured the voice of the disillusioned in their numb beats better than anyone else. Other participants include Barbara Morgenstern, Sun Electric, and Matador, the last being the contemporary project of Malaria's Gudrun Gut (who also runs the Monika record label and is paid by the German government to teach electronic music skills to young women specifically.

Date: 09 May 2001 13:30:15 -0400 The early versions were FTP'd for two reasons: a) 4 years in the making. Orb fans starving. Nuff said. b) The album version barely resembles v.1 and v.2 of Cydonia, (which is probably what you'll find on the FTP servers) So, I recommend you buy it (Lx needs to eat too) and d/l the promo's for comparison once it's done. Also, if you're state-side... you should get the import version, since it has an extra track ("EDM") which is quite good.

Date: 09 May 2001 13:04:27 -0700 Hello all - First, there is much ado about FT* sites with OOP/rare Orb stuff. Can someone please post a definitive list of such sites, as I have failed to find much, even searching through list archives. Of particular interest are the J. Cauty mix of "Once More" (why the hell is that one promo only? Thanks, Island/MCA or whoever....), as well as the Ultrabass mix of Perp. Dawn. As well as live stuff - I particularly liked the Orbvs Terrarvm tour. Next, if anyone has a vinyl copy of either of the above, or Live93 for that matter, that they are willing to sell - let me know. I find such a scenario hard to imagine, but being that I am a vinyl-only dj (nothing against cd djs; I just don't like messing with cds) perhaps there's some soul out there that for some reason has both formats and can part with one, or something.... Alternatively, if anyone has found a good source for rare/OOP stuff (other than EBay, which I do check periodically), let me know. And, this was pretty hard to find; I don't know if knowledge of this thing's apparent existence is widespread or not - but this product would fix a lot of problems - of course, affording it for the purpose of being able to spin a few more records out would be sort of absurd: http://www.vinylium.ch/stuka/dubcut.html Thanks and take care - Tim C "What is your one purpose in life?"

May" Subject: (orb) bootlegged techniques Date: 10 May 2001 12:36:33 -0400 (EDT) A while back we were discussing bootlegging techniques and I remember thinking (and posting about as well) having some sort of transmitting device for bootlegging in a venue not down with the practice... Well, I have found such a device! I was looking for some way to hook up the DVD in my computer which is in my bedroom to the TV which is in my living room. I went to rat shack and pickup up this neat little transmitter/reciever component combo, cost me about $80 for the pair. They are about the size of two packs of cigarettes each and weigh nothing. They operate in the 2.4GHz range and have FM settings so you can choose one of 4 modulations with the least noise. They take either the triple RCA connectors (you see for instance on a playstation) or a coaxial cable and can transmit the data up to 100 feet (according to the box, could be more I haven't tested this). But the point is, all you'd need to do is smuggle in the transmitter and you could record on any device you want in a car or something outside the venue. :) # 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: (orb) AFD Orb remix Date: 10 May 2001 19:15:50 +0200 Available in Sister Ray ANOTHER FINE DAY: Scarborough Fair (Orb+Coldcut Mixes) 12" 4.99 www.sisterray.co.uk JCFromParis -- 21th century invention by Donatella Versace : It would be the Concorde flying to every airport in the world - and to make the Concorde go faster... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Meredith, Justin" Subject: RE: (orb) AFD Orb remix Date: 10 May 2001 13:34:44 -0400 if you don't mind waiting 3 months... >Available in Sister Ray > >ANOTHER FINE DAY: Scarborough Fair (Orb+Coldcut Mixes) 12" 4.99 > >www.sisterray.co.uk # 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) F** sights (sic) and couple o' you gots? Date: 10 May 2001 19:25:23 +0100 I wouldn't waste your breath trying to get a definitive list of FTP sites. As for Acetates [or dubplates] - the problem with them is that they don't last more than a couple of plays, BECAUSE of the way they are made i.e. with acetate lacquer. I know of people who have had their own pressed up just to play, but as I'm sure you'll know, after a few plays they are generally old hat anyway so it defeats the point of making a longer lasting record if you like. Feel free to give me my egg back when you like, but acetates are used to press up a small number of records to see what the pressing sounds like i.e. it may have sounded great at the master stage or in the studio, but what does it actually sound like on a record player? The question then, is what do you do with them? they tend to get pushed round to radio stations or the odd top flight DJ so they can give them a couple of spins **well** in advance of even white label/promo stage. I know this because I've got some, and one of them was sent to a Radio 1 DJ with a hand written sheet saying how many were pressed up etc and where the others went. Test pressings are what they sound like, test pressings to make sure the "proper" pressing i.e. not the [typically] one sided metal acetate plays ok. I've got loads of these and they are generally from one or two makers. After this, it's white label time or promo if the record company has some money and wants to make it official. The reason that mixes of Once More were not released is that they were done for DJ or club use only. The main purpose of [most] promos is to generate interest and give a track another angle or potential audience - how much club play would the radio version of once more got? not much. Phew....I'm not quite sure if you wanted to know that or not....the other question was getting hold of vinyl from a non Ebay source. I'm going to sound very unhelpful here - there are plenty of online sources for OOP or promo vinyl. Some are expensive, some are out of date, some are cheap but unorganised - I'm sure UK list members know who I'm talking about in each case ;-) Let me know, and I'll give you a list of the ones I use on a regular basis. You'd be surprised at how much stuff you can get hold of with a bit of perseverance and cash............You're right, Ebay can be a rip off, and it's not the first time I've got carried away and paid 40 quid for something I've seen a couple of months later for less than a tenner. # 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: Martin Wallace Subject: Re: (orb) bootlegged techniques Date: 10 May 2001 13:51:20 -0500 ""I went to rat shack and pickup up this neat little > transmitter/reciever component combo"" Is Rat Shack online; and what is the component called? # 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 don't know which bootleg sets you mean, but I removed all live shows from CR ftp to gain some hd space.. :-< . Iirc, however, there were some live boots of great quality in the big pile of stuff from the mp3-project (e.g. Manchester 1992, Birmingham Institute 1993, Brixton Academy 1993, Quart Festival 1994).

Date: 11 May 2001 11:44:33 -0000 Haha! I have just bought Cydonia! And as a whole I must say that I think it's the Orb doing a fantastic job! And yes, I got into their early stuff (being from the UK and all) before the 1995 onward stuff so I know what I am talking about! I think the album itself is very intertextual (Orbital also do this in 'The Altogether' by sampling the first track of the previous album in the third to last track, I think...) - lots of references to earlier tracks and the sampled they use when they play live, especially the FFWD "sample" in Terminus - I put the word "sample" in speech marks because it's kind of a reprise really isn't it? Nothing done before...but besides this I think some areas are great, the very beginning (first 10 seconds) of Once More could have afforded to be a minute or two longer as it's the most comforting and Orb like thing I've heard in ages, and really, I just wish they didn't do a vocal track. The lyrics are quite pretentious aren't they? Promis is one of my favourite tracks on there, I love how it keeps threatening drum'n base at you then rips the beat away from you, quite reminiscent of Delta MKII, with it's dipping of the drum n' bass in and out of water effect. I also like the lovely string sample they use, it give the whole thing that playfullness the Orb are good at, like in LFC for example. Ghostdancing I like anyway, mainly because I am just used to it from listening to the MP3 so much, chilled out and mixed well with Promis. The two go well together. The female vocal sounds to be in a similar vein to that of Orbital's work, which seems to go on throughout all the vocal tracks in the album. Turn it Down is another good track, you can see the reggae influences here, although the sample could have been truncated a little as I think it detracts from the rest of the track. Back in the UFOrb days, I don't think a sample lasted for longer than a few seconds bar Towers of Dub, but that was a different story. A few years ago the Orb were saying how Drum n' bass is the future of dance music, although this hasn't become entirely true, it's just one little aspect of dance. For the Orb it now seems a lot more prominent than their old ambient-house sound like in Majestic. Although some of the beats can be refreshing in this album it should be noted that maybe they should do something with a more constant and up-tempo dance beat like in earlier albums? I can think of several tracks on here, where they would be made more exciting and interesting to listen to had they been offered a house beat instead. Egnable is a just another example of the Orb's sense of humour. But Firestar is such a funky little number, you wish the obscurity of its presence persisted for another 10 minutes, it would easily have made best track on here purely for it's funk and sense of humour. It also seems to be going off in its own little vein of reference to 80's dance and electronic music, i.e. Kraftwerk. It you listen to a few big dance albums out now, especially Daft Punk and Orbital's latest albums, they refer heavily to older forms of Dance, Daft Punk use 80's funk and hip hop heavily and Orbital seem to go one step further and sound like early 90's dance music. The Orb seem to be doing the same with this track but in a stranger manner. A Mile Long Lump of Lard is another Fave of mine. I remember them playing this at The Royal Albert hall and it was monsterous. It just sounds like a gigantic monster coming to getcha. I can imagine it would suit a 2001 version game of Pac-man quite well. From here on the album starts to weaken, and also I haven't really paid as much attention to it as the earlier sections. Plum Island and Centuries both seem average as vocal tracks but they are too slow, they should have taken a leaf out of The Shamen's book, there was always optimism in their work, from Move Any Mountain, all the way up to Destination Eschaton - the pace was up-tempo and catchy yet interesting at the same time. Hamlet of Kings seems to let the album down somewhat, its as if they had way too many stock-sounds and just threw it all together. I like the magical sound they use but once again it's just a tad too slow and middle of the road, as far as dance music is concerned. If you're gonna do a chill out record, OOBE rather than Hamlet, please. The stop starting of the beats just makes the whole peice sound uneasy and incomplete. Something more subtle and otherworldly may have made the piece more interesting. I think the Orb go a bit silly when they try to make the soundtrack to a vocal song, and for gods sake stop stealing from Pomme Fritz! 1,1,1, is basically A Sticky Mess with a beat to it. Nice. EDM is ok but it doesn't seem to get anywhere or create anything other than an ok introduction to the next track... Thursday's Keeper is a good track. I think it's full of personality and reminds me a little of Are We Here by Orbital. Don't ask why, it just seems like a good, full, complete track and hence, is satisfying to listen to as far as beats are concerned. It also highlights the Orb's excellence at the manipulation of sound, samples and stereo and the development of a catchy riff, an interesting amalgamation of guitar and drum n' bnass. And here we go....back to the beginning for Terminus ladies and gentlemen... Anyway, let me know what you think. Take care guys...

Each of the three BadOrb shirts had one of the funky animal/satellite thingys on the front and the BadOrb logo on the back with a badorb.com URL, also specific to each single.

It clocked in at two seconds shorter than 40 mins in any case. You could still release a 40 minute [or 20 minute now] or above track as a single, it just won't count towards chart sales....... I think as smiley said before, the single [each one] can't exceed 20 mins or 3 tracks. And I think you are limited to 3 formats i.e. 12" CD and tape or 2 CD's and a 12" as Once More was.

Date: 15 May 2001 23:58:20 EDT The current slow rate of evolution is rather tedious. To encourage the necessary leap in evolution, we have decided to invite the whole world to a TRANSCENDENTAL ORB PARTY. It will take place next FRIDAY NIGHT (18th MAY) at Midnight, US Pacific Coast Time. To obtain transcendence all partygoers, wherever they are in the world, must be synchronized in their neural brain patterns. This will be achieved with music. Every participant must press the "play" button on their CD players at EXACTLY MIDNIGHT (CALIFORNIAN TIME), starting "PERPETUAL DAWN" and the complete Second Adventures Beyond CD. (Picked at random for this evolutionary exercise). Detailed monitoring will be performed on a resonant synchronized listener here in my back garden in California. Anytime after the party is over we encourage all participants to e-mail us (bbbrooo@hotmail.com), giving your latitude and longitude, (or area and country), listing substances used and details of anything unusual experienced during the experiment: Increased perception awareness, premonitions, an increased desire to dance, brighter than normal planets, stars, unexplained lights in the sky, aurora borealis, meteorites, a sudden insight into the meaning of life the universe and everything, or something as ordinary as extra static when removing clothing. Please let us know it could be important. You must have noticed unexplained coincidences and synergy between people on this list. Let's see what can be achieved with focussed energy!!

It is a font designed by Barry Deck & distributed by Thirstype. see: http://www.barrydeck.com/pages/type.html Just for fun - see also: 'Orgasm Heavy', 'Truth', 'Amputee' & the synonymous with the mid 90's - 'Template Gothic'. 'Arbitrary Sans Serif' is extra tasty i think - it is somehow classic & solid. I remember 'Template Gothic' was used on the poster for some mass marketed hollywood movie aimed at 20 somethings with ever so slight indie leanings. It was like a breakfast club/sleepless in seattle/pretty in pinkish number. Spooky stuff if you ask me. The font disappeared from new design pretty quickly after that - it's street cred was gone i suppose. Can anyone name the film? By the way: I met James in chilly Alaska last week (I am moving there, brrr) & he's a fine fine fellow. Any other orb folk in Alaska now or coming visting anytime soon?

Is it a duff CD or is Alex messing with my head? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Vince Frank" Subject: (orb) 42 Date: 16 May 2001 14:30:50 -0500 I just learned that, sadly, author Douglas Adams passed away on May 11 following a heart attack. :-( I mention this only because there was a thread about The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on this list not too long ago.... Incidentally, I believe it was he who gave Pink Floyd the name of their last (and probably final) album, The Division Bell. (David Gilmoure confirmed it was, in fact, the same Douglas Adams who was thanked in the credits for that album.) Has anyone heard anything else about Floyd???

Thanks to those who answered me about Area One. I bought my expensive ticket a couple of days ago. Finally- ORB- 6 years after the last time they swung by these parts. Has anyone else noticed the clothing line (I think for girls only) called Orb? They have a nice Orb logo. Tempting, but too expensive. I went to Autechre last night. I was astounding. There were no lights (except for the glare from the Powerbooks), but the music was really durn good. The place did thin a bit, but nowhere near as much as the last time they were here (1998). Last time it was really sparse and disjointed (in a good way) this time is was really layered and actually pretty rhythmic. I have heard they've been playing very different sets from city to city. I know Gavin taped the show in Chicago (apparently not so hot), I hope someone up here taped this one. I never have so I figured I would mess up any attempts- unless you count the call I made to my answering machine (I did record about 2 minutes). It was really cool. They just announced Mouse on Mars here next month. That means June has Tortoise, Mogwai, Mouse on Mars and Radiohead, July has Air and August has The Orb. I almost feel like I live in a real city!

Information! Date: 16 May 2001 18:04:56 -0700 While making the rounds last weekend saw a few items that might be of interest. Stopped at Aron's in LA. They had 8 to 10 copies of "Cydonia" in the used/promo bin priced at 10.99 and a couple priced at 9.99 each. So I would agree here with Chris (earlier post) that they can be a bit overpriced on some items, but it's still better than full price. They also have Dr. Alex Patterson's "Journey Into Paradise" (new CD section) for 19.99, and "Cydonia" vinyl for I believe 27.99 (there were about 5 copies). Tower in Anaheim and Costa Mesa both have 12" copies of "Once More" for 8.99 which isn't that bad of a price. These are regular, not promo copies. Regarding the "Journey Into Paradise" mix CD. I have an in-house pre-release cdr promo that doesn't give much info. Could someone send along any mix info that might be on the regular copy? Seems like the Killing Joke track is probably a Orb Mix. That is all.

I'm not following any order here, but since I read lots and LOTS of SF reviews, here's mine. Happy reading, it was quite a night. After reading through all these reviews of the Orb's SF gig, I find it odd with as many listees that were there that I didn't meet any of you. Where were you all? I did meet up with a taper friend John Ricci a friend of his by the name of Cole, and ex-listee Cory Kilcullen (taper of the La Luna 8/13/97 show). Cory flew down from Portland for the show and we met up in front of the Virgin Megastore a few blocks away. John decided to show me around a bit before stopping off for dinner at this pizza joint inside of some strange nightclub just down the street from the Maritime Hall. After an extended dinner break due to the incompetence of the man who took our order, we walked back to the Maritime Hall. We hung out in front of the venue trying to sell off our extra tickets since I no longer needed one - Muzzer (Orb tour manager) gave me an all access pass a few gigs earlier! I got inside and walked around the venue a bit to scope out the scene. Autolump was just starting his set, so I headed back stage to say hello to Muzzer, LX, Simon, and Witchy. I saw Alex (visuals guy) on the way in and he warned me about LX's somber mood due to the news about his brother. Shortly after, LX walked out of the green room, a little teary eyed. I didn't know what to say to him, so I just tapped my heart with my fist and gave him the peace knuckles as he walked by. Upon entering the green room, I saw Simon and Witchy and chatted with them a bit and watched the commotion of the venue's staff as they refilled the pitchers of warm beer on the snackbar. a few minutes later, Fil enters the room after completing his set and sits down to relax as LX does his DJ set. We talk about how far of a drive SF is from Denver, have a few drinks, then I head out into the hall with intentions of taping Witchman's set. The crowd in the hall continues to grow in size, making my trek to the center harder and harder. Witchman begins before I get a chance to setup my rig, then I get stuck in the crowd by a group of loud talkers. I finally break free, and notice that my record level is too low and the input is clipping bad, so I give up and stop the tape. I meet up with my friends in the back by the bar, and tell them that I'm not particularly fond of the venue's acoustics and crowd noise. I decide to head upstairs to the soundboard area, hoping I can have the same luck at getting an open area to record as I did in Denver. No luck, for some venue tech guy told me they were having trouble with the lighting and needed the area to move around in. I head back downstairs and try to find an acceptable spot on the floor. Witchman's halfway through his set at this point, and the crowd's reaction is mixed. One thing unique about this performance is that his visuals were projected onto the side walls of the hall in addition to the 2 screens on stage. I did notice that he used some different sample placement during this set too, but nothing to make this night's performance stand out. I weezle my way close to the center point of the hall and have Cole, Cory and John stand behind me. Cole pulls out his Zippo and a Bic lighter, and attaches a pipe to the bottom of the zippo. "This is my James Bond bowl. Wanna hit?" Awesome. John and/or Cory does a beer run (1 cup at a time, venue rule) then within a few minutes, the Orb finally take the stage. I watch as LX comes out on stage to see the crowd cheer quite loudly. Witchman takes his place by the mixing desk, and Fil ducks down by the ADAT machine. I started rolling tape 5 mins prior to that beginning tune they play before LX spins the Apocalypse Now version of "The End" to make sure I get everything. Tonight I pay close attention to LX to see if his emotions from earlier could be seen. The rooster sample comes in and the crowd starts cheering madly and LX raises his hands into the air to greet the audience as the Orb star starts to rotate on the scren behind him. When "The End" can be heard, the crowd reacts with a mixture of laughter and cheering, but mostly people saying "This is the Doors" - really? . "And all the children are insane..." The sound of the hellicopter then takes over, and sounds as if it's flying around the room thanks to Patrick's (Orb's soundman) quadrophonic mixing techniques. As the anticipation starts growing to greater levels, the rumble of the bass of Mile Long Lump Of Lard gets greater and greater in volume. "You can feel the flash, you can feel the heat" I quickly gaze from left to right, noticing that everybody's attention is directed at the stage with wide eyes, waiting for the beat to kick in. When it does, the eminator lights start shining onto the crowd, and the once stable group is now cheering and dancing, or more appropriately "Going mad". Tonights version is followed by a country tune LX spins and the whole place starts clapping and yee-hawing as if it's a ho-down. Promis kicks in and Witchy mixes the string section in and out a bit more than I remember hearing from the prior shows. Due to the size of the Maritime hall, the quadrophonic mix can be heard very well. The song of the Flying Nuns provides the next segue into Turn It Down, as Simon comes onto stage and takes control of the mixing desk from Witchy. LX mixes some spoken word samples and rhythms ontop of of Simon's mix, manipulating the Chaos Pad with the greatest of ease. As the rhythm and bassline stays balanced, the guitar riff switches from channel to channel at a dizzying speed. As the beat conitnues on, LX then reverses it and stops it dead, starting Egnable and playing it in short as Witchy re-enters the stage and Simon moves to his Bass stack for Blue Room. At center stage, the giant 12 foot Orb becomes illuminated by a projector from the soundboard with green and blue waveforms. Just below, Simon straps on his bass, bobs his head in rhythm, keeping a watchful eye on Witchy waiting for the signal to begin. LX plays samples from Tino's Breaks, the movie Dark Star, South Park, along with mixing in extra vocals from Mad Professor's "The Creator". The crod approves. As Blue Room fades out, FFWD's "Hempire" fades in, then gets bumped by a short clip of Firestar. just as things start to get quiet , the sound of Dueling Banjos fills the air, along with the vocals that make up the live version of Perpetual Dawn. As the beat kicks up, the crowd begins to jump in rhythm. Simon then kicks in the recognizeable bassline to a very loud cheer from the crowd and the place is lit up brightly by the Orb's commanding light gear. Just as the momentum kicks up, it mellows down to sound of a chanting sample until there's nothing left except the highhat, then everything kicks back in all at once, lead off by Simon's hand sliding down the neck of his bass. As Perpetual Dawn ends, Witchy walks off stage, followed by Simon after placing his bass back on the stand. In the meantime LX cues up the Scrounge The Earth mix of Once More (the only show of the tour with this mix), paces back and forth, then rips off his headphones and slams them on the floor and walks offstage. The anxeity I felt as the show started was all but gone, until this happened. Was he calling it quits for the night? It seemed like it took forever for him to come back out, but he did as the sound of A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain could be heard. Withcman came back out and walked to the mixer, LX then walked over to Witchman, said something to him, and then embraced each other in a hug. Terminus followed, and the performance carried on as if it were all planned. LX mixed a bit of FFWD's "Can Of Bliss" and a rhythm from what sounds to be a De La Soul record (for a lack of better decription). Simon re-enters the stage, straps on his bass and tunes it just as Fil and Witchy signal each other the go ahead and Towers Of Dub starts. Submerged in the background, the sound of the long form of A Huge Ever Growing Brain can be heard, followed by sonar, a telephone ringing, dogs barking, and a harmonica. The end part seems to carry on for a while as Simon strums away without error. As Dub ends, LX follows up with S.E.Berlin's "Barbie Girl", taking us into Outlands. As soon as the familiar tone is recognized by the crowd, they make it known loud and clear. On tonight's version, Witchman mixed it really well, droping in and out different rhythms flawlessly. LX adds samples from 2001 on top of the mix, and then ends it with an echoed delay, but continuing with the 2001 sound clips. "Dave, this conversation can serve no purpse any longer". Simon re-enters the stage for the next track, grabbing LX's attention on the way to the bass stack. the sound of a horse galloping shows off the quadrophonic mix again, and the sound of Little Fluffy Clouds pierces the air. Witchy plays around with the bass drum, turning it on and off and grimmacing at the crowd as if he's toying with the dancers. This doesn't stop the masses from moving, for this is the song that many of the concertgoers probably came to hear. (I'm sure a periodical mentioned this track as their signature song as promotion of tonight's show) LFC comes to an end, and more samples from Apocalypse Now can be heard, this time of Marlon Brando. The crowd's cheering hits the loudest point of the night in appreciation. Hamlet Of Kings comes on and the Orb leaves the stage again (as they have for this song the whole tour). LX comes back out and plays a few samples over top the tail end of it "Tommorrow's forecast calls for mostly Sunday, followed by Thursday" Simon comes back out to do the mixing of EDM, giving LX a hug on the way to the desk. At the beginning LX plays the 911 sample of the emergency call about the Bay Bridge collapsing. I find this an odd sample to use, for I'm sure there was people affected by that disaster in the crowd... Between EDM and Thursday's keeper, LX spins something I don't recognize, and Witchy comes back out on stage, holding his camcorder and videotaping the audience. He has the camera hooked upto the videoscreens so the crowd can see the footage, filming from right to left, across the balcony, then sets it down to mix the last song. As the "Charge" horn blast can be heard, LX holds up two fingers above his head with one hand and waving the other behind him like the horns and tail of a bull and dances around the stage. As they close out the show Witchman waves goodbye, LX spins a song other than Mr. Sandman - sonething that sounds like an auctioneer over top of a drumbeat and exits the stage. The crowd stands around, cheering and hoping for them to come back out on stage, but as usual no encore. Tonight's set duration 1 hr 45 min. Total time taped 1 hr 58 min The recording came out good, but isn't he best tape from the tour. The crowd noise level is fair, the music sounds a bit distant, but the performance was great. After the gig ends, I notice that John is no longer with us. He apparently left early because he was too tireds to stay for the entire show (wuss). As the mass of people work their way toward the door, I stay behind hoping to be identified by some listees, and search the floor of a Maritime Hall-style ticket stub. I have better luck coming across the latter, prefering the artistic look over Tickets.com's generic blush and yellow format. I tell Cory and Cole that I want to go back stage and chat with the crew for a little while and I proceed back to the green room. As I get there, I notice a bunch of people sitting around outside as if they're waiting for the chance to meet LX & co. and for some rason they look vaguely familiar to me too. I knock on the door and ask Muzzer if it's ok to enter, and he opens up the door. LX is sitting on 1 couch, Simon and Alex on another. The mood in the room is a little tense because of LX's bad news. Patrick (being the perfectionist he is) is his usual bitter self and is standing in the doorway of the adjacent office clutching a beer. As Muzzer opens up the door the people sitting outside the greenroom enter, and turn out to be Meat Beat Manifesto/Tino's Breaks members Jack Dangers, Lynn Farmer, and Mike Powell. Mike comes over by me and we begin talking about their MTV interview that I remembered seeing him on from years back. Shortly after a few more guys enter the room, A dreadlocked guy named Brian I remember seeing at one or more of the Florida's shows being one of them. As the joints are being passed around the room, Jack and LX talk like old fiends, remembering tales from their 1996 tour together. I mention that I saw them on that tour at the Metro, and LX asks if I have that one on tape. I smile and nod, to which he replies "Figures." He tells Jack that I've been to every show on the tour, which gets a wide-eyed look from Jack. I asked him why Meat Beat isn't playing Coachella, and he replies "I Dunno. We weren't invited." Meanwhile dreadlocked Brian is showing Mike his recorder and MDs, talking about taping shows. Mike mentions to Brian that he's got a good setup, but then I pull out my DAT... Mike tells me about Tino's Breaks #5 is now out, and that 1 & 2 will be on cd soon (just so you all know). I say goodbye to Mike, on the way out compliment Jack and Lynn on Meat Beat's work, tell the Orb crew "See you tomorrow", and Muzzer confirms that I'm on the Coachella guest list. As I leave the green room and backstage area, one of the hippie-ish Maritime Hall owners says to me "Thanks for coming to the Maritime Hall. I hope you enjoyed it here! Please book with us again!" I leave smiling and meet up with Cory and Cole, who thankfully waited for my return and didn't threaten me for being gone too long. As I'm giving them the details of what happened, Fil, David (Orb light guy) and a bunch of Maritime Hall guys are loading up the Orb bus. Just down the street, A porsche runs the red light and broadsides a VW Jetta, rendering it immobile (unrelated I know, but it's part of the night). The Porsche guy gets out, says something, gets back in and drives off. HIT AND RUN! I drive them to their car, drop them off, say good night and head for LA at 3 am. I have a 5-6 hour drive ahead of me which I'm not looking forward to since I'm not in the right state of mind, and am quite tired, but I don't stray from my plan to get to LA to pick up my friend and head to Coachella...

Sorta OT Date: 17 May 2001 12:51:00 -0500 I've been thinking a great deal that some of the characters for badorb remind me a great deal of characters from a comic book called Scud: The disposable assassin. they have the same mismatch of animal parts and things, to make really tripped out combinations. It's just that the badorb stuff seems to have more of a space theme. The story is about a robot, called a Scud. A disposable assassin, that you purchase from a vending machine, give it a target, it hunts it down, destroys it, then self destructs after completing it's job. the main character is a Scud who is given a target, and during his hunt and assassination attempts, he learns that he will die if he completes his mission. Becoming like any self aware robot, he doesn't want to die. So he confronts his target, Jeff, who ends up becoming his arch enemy. Jeff is a perfect example of this badorb character design style. Jeff is a 20ft creature with a Cat's body, an electric plug for a head (the round three-pronged kind), mousetraps for hands, a squid strapped across his belly, and human arms for legs, which evidently have mouths on the knees that speaks using soundbites from films, music, and historical events... Kinda like the Orb and how they use samplers. Anyways, the plot goes that as he learns he will self destruct, he just maims, Jeff, blowing off his arms and legs, and has a hospital put him on life support. So the series continues as Scud goes freelance hitman, to flip the bill for Jeff's hospitalization. the stories are violent, but extremely hilarious, and quite surreal and trippy. Fan's of Pulp Fiction would dig this series quite well. Currently the series seems to be in limbo, he got to a cliffhanger ending, and it just stopped. There was word long ago that there was a movie to be made and was in production, but who knows where that is now. If you are interested, stop by your local comic shop, and ask for it by name. You can pick up the bound paperback collections to save you the effort of finding all the issues.

Every so often I do a search for my own name to see where it pops up online, and there are always several hits from mailings lists to which I've posted (usually accompanied by a reaction of "did I write *that*?"). Try it! Alternately, you could pretend that you're "seaturtle" looking for the LFC singles and I'll bet you'll get the same search results he did with various posts from this list. My guess would be that it's nothing too sinister; just some guy looking for LFC singles and using the net-related means at his disposal to do so.

I've really never heard anything like it... they blended their own older sounds with many more torch-song-ish vocals, a kind of radioheadish use of the rhodes keyboard, and some great dub bass. and I think they got a full orchestra this time. God I sound like a total advertisement; I'm taken by this album, just be forewarned it is mellower than mellow, if you like dance beats you won't find them here unless you like to waltz. 10/10 for me. on a more orbish note, I am really jealous of those of you who are getting to see them.

I buy when I can -- otherwise i'll look for the mp3... I help those I can. Sometimes, a used scratched up record is good for the collection, but wouldn't you prefer to listen to the CD someone made for you by their unscratched brand new record? I for example plan on digitally streaming all Badorb releases and pressing CDs to spare the records any wear. One listen each is good enough!

I am readily satisfied by burning copies until such time as getting actual physical copies is has come. I mean, it takes WAY less effort to burn a copy than to hunt and search and look for an actual copy. And for those who are in the middle of this process, making a copy is sometimes the only choice. > personally, i've spent a lot of time and money amassing the collection i > have, and no amount of MP3s compares to having the actual releases of these > items, with the accompanying artwork and some money going to the artist who > produced them. You are correct of course, but look at it from someone else's perspective: What if they don't have the money or time to spend that you do hunting things down? What if they live in the boonies where independant record stores playing this kind of music are scarce?

We have one independent music store here in town that I know of, and it seems to cater to the metalhead and noizepunk crowd. They think Paul Oakenfold is very obscure... > It's not fair to assume everyone has your resources at their disposal. [...] > No, but its not so black and white. Sometime you have to sacrifice > to joy of finding an actual copy in lieu of just being able to hear the > material in some form AT ALL! :) In my case it's nearly impossible to get anything but the most widely distributed albums. I had to buy ABTU online because nobody had it here, or could be convinced to order it (they said "That's some weird English album and it'd be a pain for us to order it from England." mostly because they'd pay some nasty shipping fees -- nevermind that it could be gotten from the US without any hard work :P). If I wanted something as obscure as the latest promo single then I'd be hard pressed to find it here even with a large spiked club in my hand. Also, keep in mind that shipping anything from the rest of America to Alaska is *very* expensive, since it either comes by boat or by plane. Ordering a single CD online nets me a shipping and handling charge of about $7 - $10. And that's the cheap fare. So often I have not much choice other than to get MP3s if I want to actually hear the music. I'd dearly love to have the actual CD releases, simply because they sound better and because I get to look at the cover art. And the experience is so much more visceral :). But one takes what one can get... So think about your brethren (and sestren) who live in the far corners of the world before you start decrying alternative music distribution methods (legal or not). Sometimes I feel more cut off than the Australian orbophiles. At least they get country-sized promotion. Alaska gets nothing. Except for Cinderella and Yngwie Malmsteen playing at Chilkoot Charlie's.

And how much do you pay for shipping? And how much time do you spend on the internet trying to find this stuff?

I mean, everybody doesn't have the cash to pay $8 for shipping and $20 for the record to some guy in the UK who knows that if you don't pay him his $30 someone else just like you will. For instance, when I was laid off, I had no income (except for good ole uncle sam's unemployment, which only just covered my rent + rice & beans every day).

No doubt - me too - but does money actually get to the artist for "promo only" releases? That is where my philosophical objection to copies lies - IF the material is IN PRINT (not used version that you are lucky to find and which artist doesn't get money for anyway) then you have no business having a copy. If out of print, unobtainable, and the record company doesn't see fit to make it so - then copyright law in that case is unfair and unrealistic - a copy is entirely justified. Just like the game companies throw fits about MAME roms - well, why don't they release them (as Williams did though I haven't been able to find it)!? > am i showing my age here? or is everyone just looking for a version to play > on their computers at work? am i the only one who finds the immediate > gratification of an MP3 less satisfying than a successful score at my local > shops?

Hi Rachel. =) I've found this to be a fascinating thread, since, as an aspiring recording artist, I think about this subject quite a bit. I'd say you're not showing your age necessarily, but rather a certain disposition toward interacting with music. As the MP3 revolution has abundantly pointed out, there's no essential reason that music has to be tied to a physical medium or therefore package. It is not unreasonable for listeners to appreciate music a la carte, as it were. But since until now music has been tied to a physical package, artists have taken advantage of that fact to present visual art and text to complement the music. Having the fetishistic approach to music that I do, I tend to think of an album that I care about as "incomplete" without this original packaging, and purchasing the CD provides can provide an important interaction with the artist and/or music business. But I realize that this is just a mindset, since for albums that I don't care so much about I think little of possessing MP3s. However, I think that the most ethical use of MP3s is on a "try before you buy" basis, since music is one of the few products that does not intrinsically permit consumers to interact with it before purchasing. Essentially, I'm not too worried about whether packaging ultimately goes out of style. What is a more pressing issue, in my opinion, is how professional musicians get paid when music is extracted from medium. I've also heard of artists (e.g. Muslimgauze) making public note of which of their recordings are out of print, and thereby giving fans license to freely duplicate and share them. Makes good sense to me. On a related note, I'm intending to convert my recording of Banco de Gaia's /Freeform Flutes and Fading Tibetans/ to MP3 and make it available to y'all, but first wanted to check if any of you might have a better quality recording? Mine is from a cassette of the unknownth-generation and has some EQ issues, though it sounds through a wee soundblaster. I hope Toby doesn't mind. I'll be the first in line if he reissues it. Good heavens, I do ramble on. -=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: "mark schieldrop" Subject: RE: (orb) Re: orb + irc Date: 18 May 2001 18:58:56 -0400 > You guys have a proper botnet, etc? > > ----- > > not currently, but I can get mine back up if there's any interest...

Read this! Date: 19 May 2001 00:53:06 +0100 Warning: rant coming up! Athough if you're not using lame to create your mp3s, I strongly recommend you read on... >Definitely not! And don't forget - compressed audio is NOT high >fidelity! Records still sound better than CDs - and MP3 isn't even in >the ball park. Hang on! This depends strongly upon the bitrate, my friend. 256kbits encoding using the newest version of lame sounds spotless every time, if given a good source. If you give it crap, you'll just get crap back! :) If you're using any other encoder, then you need to get off your arse and grab lame and razorlame NOW. Even the newest versions of the Fraunhofer codec suck badly by comparison (especially if you're trying to go for best quality), and to think fhg charge a few hundred smackers for it, whereas lame is free! I don't even want to begin to think about how the open, dynamically wide recordings of Adventures Beyond... would sound using fhg's encoders even at 192kbits. Bleargh. And as for rips from vinyl... forget it. Use Lame or you'll get poor results. Those of you that are aware of the masking process that mp3s employ should agree that they, when using these higher bitrates, are a much more efficient way of storing high-quality audio than uncompressed audio because - with due care taken - you're left with only what you _need_ to hear. All that other - unneeded - information is discarded. MPEG+ does an even better job, and is just as free (check www.maz-sound.com). As for records sounding better than CDs: not necessarily. A good deck & cart (head straight for technics and ortofon) may well give nice and warm analogue reproduction, but it is still a vastly inferior medium to CDs (think about what's involved in getting the audio from the platter to your amp, and compare it with the digital signal path of CD). Despite this, I love the sound of vinyl, but appreciate the accurate reproduction compact discs give. So I think I'm darn lucky to have good players for both. Need proof to back up both issues? Go here: http://www.r3mix.net - links to lame+razorlame are on the links page. Sorry by the way, I just needed to get this off my chest. Too many people - including many pro's in the industry - decry mp3s for being lossy. The thing is, they aren't _that_ lossy if you know how to tame em! :) So those of you copying down your Once More vinyl (I haven't touched mine at all, personally), should heed the advice here if you want to create good mp3s from them.

I do get peeved though that I can't buy some of the stuff I want on cd (ie, stuff which is released on vinyl only). I don't have a record player, and... if I can't buy the tracks I want on cd, then I won't have too bad moral about copying that stuff, if I possibly can. and as for 2nd hand/rarities selling for obscene prices, it always kinda peeves me that the musicians never see a slice of that cake. they might be starving or having problems meeting ends, and someone somewhere is selling their "rare" stuff for like $50-100+ & they'll never see anything of it apart from the tiny cut they got from the original sale. :p ultimately though, I guess it all just ends up depending on how we value the music & what we're willing to do for it. :) --- Agust "Nemesis1" - aaj@centrum.is - ICQ: 1290264 - http://nem1.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: "mark schieldrop" Subject: RE: (orb) Bitching about mp3s and cd's?

Sorry to those who think so, but I AM Date: 19 May 2001 02:07:06 +0100 Orb peeps - I apologise for verging offtopic, but I wanted to take this chance to give those who were interested some _good_ info on mp3 quality. Again, if you're wanting to get your Orb tracks down to mp3, then I can only recommend the info I've given, as well as the unbiased report on mp3 quality, at www.r3mix.net. This was the point of my post - as a muso and a music lover, I am very concerned about audio quality, but I'm equally concerned about storing said audio in a convinient and useable form. If you are too, then check that site out. >> Warning: rant coming up! Athough if you're not using lame to create >> your mp3s, I strongly recommend you read on... Okay, perhaps not a rant then... :) >i knew this would turn into am argument. nobody can ever say "mp3s don't >sound good" or "cd's don't sound good" without somebody trying to prove >them wrong. NOT ONCE DID I SAY "such and such sounded shite." I love my vinyl thankyou - if I can grab mp3s of releases, then I can by the vinyl and never have to touch it. It becomes an investment. CDs can be just the same! Laerm, you've just proven yourself to be more ignorant than I am. You didn't READ my post, did you? It boils down to: MP3s sound fine if you use lame at 256kbits. Vinyl may be outdated - but it still usually sounds great. CDs are a much more accurate audio media and therefore can sound much "cleaner," and "flatter" but aren't as warm as a good bit of vinyl. But even so, that doesn't mean they sound bad (if they do then it's the fault of the person who recorded/mastered it). Again, NOT ONCE DID I SAY "such and such didn't sound good." And I think you'll find I wasn't arguing either. Shock horror, back on topic (ish): the Cydonia v1 mp3s. I think it was turn it down, or ralf, or somewhere halfway through the album where one part in particular was affected by the "mp3-warble." I _then_ found out that the mp3s were made with realjukebox. Oh dear - this explains everything. You see if the person who encoded it had used lame at similar settings, it most likely would have sounded fine... doesn't bother me though, it's a top album no matter what. Just an observation - ok? >the facts are: >for the audiophiles, cd (and definitely mp3) won't cut it, as they're not >reproducing the full range of frequencies. >for other folk, mp3 and cd may be just fine. Ah, audiophiles do not necessarily equal a muso or pro engineer. The former looks for valve amps to "warm up" his sound, man (and is usually a stuck up bastiche with too much cash ;). The latter just wants gear that reproduces as accurate a sound as poss, and will last for more than a few years. I want to hear what my synths really sound like - thank you very much. >cd and mp3 do not reproduce the full range of frequencies, so technically >they are imperfect. That doesn't mean that they "don't sound good" though eh? You don't need to reproduce the full range of frequencies - fer christsakes we usually can't hear above 20kHz anyway, so there's little need to keep much above it (I'd argue for up to 22kHz to be safe). Because of this, mp3 and CD are more than enough. Especially now as CD-R storage is so damned affordable. Micah, please don't make a habit of jumping the gun like this. I took out an hour of my time to write that mail - which I believe was accurate and unbiased, and certainly wasn't attempting to start an argument.

This is not an addicted record/CD collector. Collecting is a drug, you spend endless time and money tracking these things down. You will even go into major debt from time to time. The satisfaction you get once it's obtained, and then, on to the next one. You've never bought the last record or CD, it's an endless cycle that goes on years and years. Less effort?

It looks totally different, and is the same sort of style as the US Cydonia promo i.e. no front cover and details on the back [is this a MCA thing or US promo thing? not really noticed before]. It looks quite cool with the CD being a nice blue and silver colour with the blue continued in the plastic surround, and for those collectors amongst you it's worth getting..... The timing for the Tenaglia LFC mix is slightly different from the UK one, but without playing it [what's the point?] I'm sure it's the same cut. I've no idea about "normal" stateside release...but I would imagine it would have different tracks. Just an educated guess. For the spotters, the catalogue number is MCAR-25352-2 "promotional CD - Not for sale" Also - gave the Orb remix of the Another Fine Day track a few listens. It doesn't say which one is which, but I'll go for the 15 minuteish one on side b. It's ok, not particulary outstanding, but ok. Reminds me in places of the Grid's Flotation and the orb remix of Material/Mantra with the Indian drum type things. Sort of dubby and low tempo with a nice bass line and snare drum on. Couple of breaks drop in and out and then play backwards and stuff. Whole thing sounds like it was recorded underwater. Noticed myself nodding along whilst reading a book, so can't be that bad ;-) # 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: =?iso-8859-1?q?Smiley?= Subject: (orb) ORBULLETIN: ORB DATES Date: 19 May 2001 16:12:21 +0100 (BST) # This is an Orb announcement from the ORBULLETINS mailing list.

As far as both record label, distribution, and copyright (and ownership thereof) issues go, these guys actually have it pretty together, and this page actually gives a lot of good insight into this (although the writer of this post (one Sean Wolfe, whose ID got snipped along with much text) obviously already understands this): http://www.disciplineglobalmobile.com/newslett/newsl1.htm Very informative for someone outside the business (me, for example) and also very irritating to hear how people (the artists and really the music consumer too - look at the Cydonia release fracas for example) just get roundly diddled on a routine basis.

Despite this, I > love the sound of vinyl, but appreciate the accurate reproduction compact > discs give. So I think I'm darn lucky to have good players for both. No, records inherently sound better than cds because they have a higher frequency response - up to 75-90kHz or so. Yes, this is outside the range of hearing, but sounds IN the range of hearing are affected by harmonics and such OUT of the range of hearing. With CDs, there is a brick wall in frequency response - don't recall if it's around 40kHz or if it stops dead at 20 or 22 or so (but this cutoff does have to do with sampling rate, which is why DVD audio will in fact sound a lot more like vinyl in terms of f response at least - there is a formula for this but I don't know it or what it's called - sorry). Yes, the analog distortion and warmth arguably sound nicer, and on CD's side no pops, static, wear, etc. But a piece of virgin (or well-kept) vinyl - ahhhhh.

I left after about 5 songs as it was actually pretty annoying - pounding non-danceable beats at high volume when you are tired is not the ticket IMO, as much as I love Ae. Anyone stay for the entire show - did they calm down at all and play anything either classic (Basscadet, Bike) or get more ambient at all? For those interested in other stuff about the show - DHS saved the night and totally rocked. Much more acidic than I was expecting (well, sort of, since Jack Dangers was involved I figured it would have to be good and was not disappointed). They were doing (apparently) some sort of live digital video mixing (content reminded me of EBN stuff) along with the other stuff (and Jack was doing some live drumming a la a MBM show). And, I've never thought that much of the old House of God song - well, I've never heard it like that before. OST (who I am not familiar with, don't know if they are well-known or not) was pretty disappointing - adept at making loud noise and that's about it. But the dj between OST and DHS was farging awesome - intriguing mix of some kind of electro/techno combination and various odd breakbeat stuff - anyone know who this was? So, none of it was the Orb show a few weeks back here (duh), but DHS and then the Orb - that would be a dream bill indeed. Especially if Freaky Chakra played after that....

Date: 20 May 2001 02:41:05 -0700 Hi; this is coming from my home address, rather than the usual one... Anyway; the new stream I was hinting at is available: The Orb, live at San Francisco's Maritime Hall. :D Audio and video. It is only 35 minutes, but it still well worth the download. Tracklisting: Blue Room Perpetual Dawn Once More... Towers Of Dub (plus misc. stuff in between...check Gavin's review for the gory details) I found this last week, but held off mentioning it, since it seemed like 2B1 was still tweaking the page (as the URL for the stream wasn't working), but I got bored/impatient and played around with the URL a bit, and figured out that really, it is just that the Maritime's web-staff doesn't know what the hell they are doing, and they buggered the link. The page can be found at: http://www.maritimehall.com/webcast/index.html (Dig the many distortions, misrepresentations, and outright lies in the bio. (But at least they spell Alex's name right, unlike say, GrooveTech, who have yet to get it right...) The link to the stream on the page doesn't work, use: http://167.160.128.68/streams/orb.ram There only seems to be a 20.4 meg low-quality stream; I can't get VCR to find a higher quality one. If anyone else can, let me/us know. :) Have fun! The last question I have is if this is going to turn up broadcast on the Maritime Live syndicated show...this is probably the best-quality live Orb footage that has shown up in quite a while. I'd die for a tape. ;) Chris (who really needs to get this full show...) np: the cd-r I just burned, of course... :P # 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: babylon@egenius.org Subject: Re: (orb) Bitching about mp3s and cd's? Read this! Date: 20 May 2001 12:59:28 -0400 (EDT) Actually, this is not true at all. The maximum frequency range on vinyl does not extend up to 22khz. The frequency range of vinyl depends on the maximum width of the groove on the record itself. That is something that is relatively fixed. Also the frequency range of tape depends on the headroom of the heads and the media. The best Cassette tapes do not come close to the frequency range of CD's. Please note the question of Frequency Range - vs- compression is a different matter. However almost NO analogue tape media plays past 22khz. A good open reel tape recorder (also used in the recording industry, mostly in the past mind you) has a frequency range up to 22khz. Most of the open-reel recording media in use today is Digital, and does do 48bit/96khz but recording it to cassette or vinyl does lose frequencies. As always the frequency range of the final product depends on the weakest part of the overall recording system. Take a look at the specifications of your cartridge for your turntable, very few of them even extend to 18khz. You will also find that fewer of them are usuable in a DJ setup on a DJ turntable such as a Technics 1200. They are far too delicate, definitely not good for cueing or scratching. (Yes I know there are DJ's that don't scratch). All of this just to point out that the statement below is false. All of that aside. I own both a DJ quality turntable setup: 2 Technics 1200 turntables with high-end Ortofon cartridges and a RANE mixer. and an Audiophile setup: Linn Sondek, Vahalla and a Linn K-9 cartridge. Let me tell you which one sounds better and has the higher frequency range. Obviously the Linn, but I use the 1200's 1000 times more often then the Linn. jon PS - though it is not the point of the message. The perceptual coding techniques used in mp3 codecs and MD's do are based on averages. The average person can or can't hear this or that. All peoples hearing abilities are not the same so this can be more or less effective for some people. How much it bothers you is also a matter of opinion. > > recording is then pressed on vinyl, no recorded frequencies are lost.

I think what it means is that all orders need to be placed by the 20th of june. Meaning that if you want the badorb releases, you need to place your order for them before June 20th, or else there might not be enough left for sale. So what you will need to do, is when the ordering page is up (hopefully next week), place your order for each of the badorb items. (that means you will need to fill the form out again.) I hope that helps, er'... makes sense.

Date: 22 May 2001 16:17:48 EDT We would just like to thank all those who participated in last weekend's event. By all accounts everyone had a great time, although there was nothing out of the ordinary to report. Some reportedly experienced an enhanced musical appreciation, but this could have been physiological, knowing that others were listening to the exact same note, at the same time, all around the globe, (or it could have been the drugs they took). Anyway, a number of you forgot to send your address with your e-mail, so that we can mail you your 2001-Space Orbyssey CD. Let me know. Thanks, and we must all do it again sometime. cheers, bill & co P.S. On Smileys list there was no mention of which particular day the Orb (reunion) would be playing at the Zambian Eclipse (Solipse) event. Have they dropped out? Not sure if I can make it, but that would be good to get a recording. Plus I collected about 500 (unused) black polymer eclipse wiewing glasses, from the last one. I would like to DONATE them to schools in the eclipse area. (Kids are the most likely to suffer permanent) eye damage from this event.

As one who has fairly strong visual persistence (and no, it's not due to drug abuse since I've had it all my life:) I have to admit that I enjoy dancing glowsticks *much* more than bright flashing lights that blind me. One of the treasured moments that sticks out in my mind was at a bluegrass festival when a friend of mine decided to twirl her stick to which she had affixed a few industrial strength glowsticks. I was under the influence at the time and hallucinated that I was completely alone in the world except for the throbbing, warm pulse of the music and these crazily twirling stripes of color imprinting themselves across my retinae. ISTR that I spent quite a while laughing like a little child. Happiest I'd been in a long time. So I'm certainly not against glowsticks, particularly when they're wielded in expert hands... > I'm not sure what the point is with stuffing them in your mouth is > though. ?? That's always confused me. You want to have a glowing thing in your mouth that's typically closed so nobody can see it? Huh? Although I did once see someone who had replaced the barbell piercing in their tongue with something made of flourescent plastic. *That* was cool to watch when they talked. > At least they aren't as bad as the giant rave hats, and > annoying whistles of ten years ago. !!!!!!***AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH***!!!!!! They haven't gone away yet... Every now and then some buffoon will resurrect the fad and make it popular for a while. Ugh. > Don't forget the air horns either. So many of my live recordings were > ruined by the wanton abuse of air horns. IMHO these are worse than the fscking whistles. Anyone with an air horn should be dragged out into the street by a bunch of overmuscled jocks (who always dance by thrusting their groins at the nearest living female carbon-based lifeform, it seems) and stomped on until they get blisters or find a party to crash. I can live with whistles even though I hate them. I CAN'T STAND THOSE AIR HORNS. THEY BELONG IN THE HANDS OF RIOT POLICE AND ON LARGE TRUCKS, NOT IN THE HANDS OF RAVER KIDDIES TWO FEET AWAY FROM MY EAR. Maybe I just don't get it, but isn't part of the point of going to a show to listen to (and maybe even *experience*, gee!) the music? So if you're honking an air horn or screeching a whistle, you're so taken up with your own ability to make noise that you don't notice the music? Foo. 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

Agree. The one chick I mentioned had phosphorescent plastic through her piercing, though. I thought that was okay.

He showed us slides of his mission and explained alot about the space program. I also recieved my Rio volt mp3 player today, and threw in orb cd tree disc 3 or 4 into it as background music, it was perfect. I was really impressed with that thing to, I haven't updated the firmware yet but it played through with no problems. There were some beautifull slides of the earth and moon, and he brought some slides of shots of Jupiter also. And shots of the first manned Saturn V rocket, and his crew inside. blah blah blah. anyways I guess he's a resident of Orcas is. also. After awhile, I knew I had seen this guy somewhere I realize he was the guy on the comittie when I applied for my flight scholarship. He was the one poundin' me with all those questions askin' me what I do for the community, askin me all that personal shit I'm doing with my life. I do alot for the community how I present myself in everyday life, and I do alot to help any person who asks or appears to need it.I wonder if he's the reason I didn't get it, fucking navy prick. I never saw that movie 6 degrees of seperation, but somone told me that its about how between you and 6 other ppl there is somone you know connecting you, so if anyone in here may know this guy don't tell him I said that. Did I mention how great it was watching this slide show of space while listening to that Live 92 disc. Btw what happened to orb.thearchive.org or whatever I got up to disc 4 now it appears the site is down, anyone know what happened or where I can get the other two discs, are they on any of the ftp sites? It's been awhile science I looked at mymail and damn this list fills it beyond belief. I still haven't bought a copy of Cydonia yet, but still enjoy listening to my version 2 mp3's, is it really that much different? Alot of ppl went to that Coachella festival, and I read your accounts, ewhen looking up on it I saw something about an Aphex Twin DJ Set, did he cancel, or did hir forget to mention it? My bro went to the tampa show awhile back and said he had a good rime. anyways its about time i goto bed. reprezenting the Orb in the San Juan Is.

Date: 23 May 2001 12:55:27 -0500 (CDT) An Orb related search turned up some recent (and not so recent) releases that I was unaware of. If anyone has one of these, please comment on whether or not they are worth tracking down. Gong - A Sprinkling of Clouds 12": I know System 7 did a remix of this track, and the Orb are on the same Gong CD with a remix of "A PHP's Advice", but they are listed for this 12" as well. Did they also do an ASoC remix? Metal CD Magazine (#11) - What Orb track is on this? Is it a unique remix not released elsewhere? Orbital / Prince / Mike Flowers / Cylob - Chime And 1999 Orb Remixes 12": Don't know much about this except Kris Weston has a remix on it. Is it credited as an Orb remix? Various - Select Cuts From Blood And Fire: This one was a surprise. Has this track ever turned up anywhere else? I'm Alright (Orbing Alright In Dub) (The Orb - Rmx) - 5:08 Sons of Arqa - Govinda's House In The City Of Nine Gates : What track did the Orb remix on this? Various - Space 'n' Bass: Holy SHit! A 12 CD ambient collection for $37?? Anyone have this? Can't say I recognize more than a handful of names on it. Which LFC mix is on here? Various - Sunset Ibiza: This just came out last week. Can't find a listing for it yet. What Orb track is on it? Soundtrack - Forsaken - Videogame soundtrack remixed by Andy Hughes. Any good? Also mentioned is a future release from E.U. featuring the Orb. Anyone have the current E.U. CD?
