The orb track here. As previousaly stated this is not much a remix just a nice edit. For 3:58 it did a very good job of editing down the version from British Adventures... As for the rest of the 12"... Side I has 2 nasty songs one by Sheep On Drugs the other by Grace Jones - need I say more? Side II with the Orb track is better. The first track up is lovely song by Holy Ghost called Holy Water. It makes picking up this 12" worthwhile. All in all - better to pay $2.99 for the 12" than $13 for the disc essential data: Big Hard Disk vol. 2 Sampler (Promo Only) on Smash records PRLP 8008-1/BS-HS BTW: Smash is owned by Island The song is copyrighted 1994 Over and out... ___ - + + / | | * ____ | + ----- \ / /--| | \ / | + --- ------ \ |----- -- |______ --- / /| | | ----- / / | /\ * * * *| \ / /\----| \/ |/ \ | --- / \___| * * * * GSS/GAT D P--/+ C++ !1 U E++ M**** S+/+ N+ H-- !F+ G+ W+ T+ R- Y?/-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: fk453@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Ryan G.

IMO, it would be unfortunate if the Orb's label split meant an end to collaborations with Steve Hillage. System 7 are apparently due to release a new album on Big Life (evidenced by the appearance of a new "Special Edition" CDS in the Ear/Rational catalog), and I'm a bit curious about who the're working with these days.

On the other hand, would it really make that much difference? Unless they boycott music releases all together...we'll still be getting releases from Dr. Alex (and various friends) who we all know is the mastermind behind the group.

Like many other groups who have split, you end up with twice as much music as before, and most of it's usually good. I know sometimes things don't work out that way, but who would argue that Thrash and Dr. P. can't make some wicked stuff on their own? It's not like they're van halen. Anyway, I think some solo Thrash would kick ass. He's underrated. Everyone talks like the Dr. Alex Paterson is the only guy in the band. If he was THAT GREAT, he wouldn't need Thrash, now would he? Plus, after that Chicago crap, it doesn't seem likely we'll ever see them again live. They're both starting to get a bit too big for their britches. Slim Whitman's really popular in England too, but you don't see people falling to their knees over him in Yankeeland. Come on guys, take a laxative, cut with the "we're too fabulous (including our entire crew) to stay in a cheap hotel" crap, and start making some good music again. Pomme Fritz is okay, but I think it's a low point in their career (although FFWD takes the prize for boring album of the year, not worth the steep price and definitely not nearly as good as their good old dub stuff). @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Mick - "Who's fighting and what for?

Icons of the Orb An O.R.B. Music Production CDMK 4 1) Beams of Light 7:56 'DJ ORB vs PATO BANTON' 2) Earth (Gaia) 9:27 'In full effect-Live Brixton '91' 3) Tong Poo (Planet of the Crossing Mix) 9:54 'Dub sytle restructure of YMO' 4) Peace in the Middle East 3:23 'Apollo XI. Twenty five already!' 5) Nanga Def? (Hope you choke on your whale meat mix) 6:06 'The ORB and YMO head-on at Technodon' 6) Fast Forward the Future (Fox's Glacier Hints Mix) 7:23 'Zodiac Youth meet Alex P.' 7) Requiem (A Floating Leaf always Reaches the Sea mix) 10:54 'Killing Joke classic ressurected by Thrash' 8) Into the Fourth Dimension (Essenes in Starlight) 12:19 'Recorded at the second Peel session' 9) No Fun 5:16 'The Stooges or The Pistols? A departure from the usual dub style!' Total time: 72:38 Comments in quotes are from the back cover of the booklet; only tracks & times are on the back of the cd. The CD is generally good stuff, even if half of it is stuff I already had (Brixton is from Patterns & Textures, I think; Nanga Def is from Technodon; Into the Fourth Dimension is from the Peel Session CD)... Peace in the Middle East is an excellent recording compared to the one from Ultra Rare Trax. No Fun is actually punk, not sure if it's the version that was played on John Peel. Beams of Light isn't too great. Arabian chanting with samples dropped over it and a woman singing with lots of echo. A drum beat kicks in around 1:30 and the woman shuts up; the track gets much better. :> The drum drops out after a while & it starts sounding like something the Orb did instead of just some random band. A standard 4:4 drops back in around the 5:00 mark & then leaves for a harpsichord-y end. FFWD the Future has samples of the music from A Clockwork Orange & bits of what sound like the KLF's Chill Out--pretty ambient until 2:00 when a disco beat kicks in for the rest. Requiem starts out sounding like Juno Reactor's Luciana, then adds in some drifting keyboards while a warning-buzzer sort of klaxon is going on (which continues for the rest of the song) with something almost recognizable as Killing Joke drops in around the 3:00 mark; Orb swirly drum breaks from Perpetual Dawn in there too. It's from the same people who put out Anthology 1/2 and Morphology; if you're a completeist I'm sure you'll want it; if you don't have either Peel Sessions or any live album, you'll want it; otherwise, you may want to pass up on it. It's a good sample of the whole of The Orb's career up to last year, excluding around UF Orb so use that to judge it as you will. I think this came out the first week of September, since the bootleg cart in the market at Oxford didn't have it one week and had it the next, and it's got the new-style Orb star from Pommes Fritz and the new 'Orb' with the slashed 'O' from its cover. And no, I can't get you a copy of it.

(subtitled "The Backlash Starts Here!" The book is an imperfect and fundamentally hypocritical work that basically lambasts virtually every obession and trend followed by members of the "twentysomething" generation, from Quentin Tarrentino movies to MTV's The Real World to Lollapolooza to raves and drug culture... Sounds like a waste of time and perhaps it is, but I guess people gotta make money somehow, and at least these guys are taking a much needed critical look at the insipid junk my peers fetishize. In any case, this is the upshot of a section where they apparently taped their comments during a visit to see The Orb perform at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City, October 23, 1993. The piece begins with this: [It should be noted that these guys are decidedly *outside* of the rave/techno/ambient scene] M: Here we are, ready for an Adventure Beyond the Ultraworld with the Orb, England's leading proponents of ambient rave. This should be a big event in the lives of the rave kids. With the exception of Moby, who's been called the "human face" of rave, Dr. Alex-- J: He's not a real doctor, but he plays one on CD. M: --is the closest thing this music has to a rock star. J: We spend the hours before the rave mystified and nervous. What's it going to be like? What are we going to wear? We don't even own anything that isn't black, gray or olive! M: Fortunately, we're immediately reassured when the first thing we see walking down Fifty-second Street is three young girls in full-on flannel, fretting that their grunge _couture_ is inappropriate for a rave. [Later on, after they've gone inside:] M: We actually interviewed one guy--well, really he just grabbed the mic from us and started rapping. Then he spoke out ironically about how the media portrays the rave kids: "So I wanna say about rave, oooh, I just took some Ecstasy, I'm tripping my face off, oooooh, this is the place to do drugs, man, it's the greatest place to do drugs, that's what it's all about. Raving changed my life drastically! That's what all you writers write." The only way we could respond to this little tirade was to ask him what he would *really* say. He paused for a moment. "What would I really say? Hi!" An Ecchemplary member of this most articulate generation. [and then the finale:] 1:53:02 AM J: There's this little series of noises that sound like springs popping and people start applauding. M: I lean over to our friend and say, "Hey, the band must be going on." J: He tells us that the Orb have been on for more than twenty minutes. M: That's it, we're out of here. [Epilogue] J: So the question is, How does this connect to "Ecch?" M: It's a scene based around nothingness, around ether, around air. J: Rock 'n' roll has always been a primal scream, and this is more of a deep sigh. M: I never liked Pink Floyd then and I don't like them now. Screw "Shine On You Crazy Diamond." "*Black* Diamond," on the other hand... J: For these kids, basically it's disco, it's fashion, nothing more. The majority of kids don't even own the records, they own Lemonheads and Smashing Pumpkins records. What fifteen-year-old girl is listening to this in her room? M: It's the only place to hang out with your friends int the middle of the night. It's about the scene, it's about going to 2001 Odyssey and hanging out with Tony and Vinnie and Angie. It's life and death and the new Saturday night. It's a place for people to come hang out at night. That's ultimately it. J: Let's get the Times and go home. M: Yeah. Who's on Meet the Press tomorrow?. [I love the Orb, and I enjoy raves and whatnot, but these guys have something there. And I can't think of a time that a fellow raver ever worried about what was in the paper or on Meet the Press, which is kind of sad, in a way.] anyways, mojo __________________________________________________ see ya!- ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Neilbert Subject: Wood(rave)stock continuing question Date: 12 Oct 1994 00:04:03 EDT Well, I realized just recently that I had posted this question a while ago and never received a response.

Not that mixing > is a passable job, but come on.. Mixing is what makes a song good or bad. It's not just turning dials. You may also have noticed that NONE of the songs on Adventures was written exclusively by Paterson. And, if you look at the credits on UF Orb, you'll notice that Thrash's name comes before Paterson's in every song. A good explanation for Thrash's lack of credit on Adventures is that Paterson most likely had most everything written by the time Thrash joined him. > I'd be willing to bet that LX could just continue on as the Orb > without too many problems. I'd like to see him get farther into > the ambient direction, like FFWD... As for that, yeah maybe he could, but it probably wouldn't be nearly as good. IMO, FFWD is HIGHLY overrated and is not even in the same league as the Orb's other stuff. If you want a clue as to how much Weston contributes to the Orb's sound, listen to Fortran 5's Blues or the Love Baby single. Or listen to Thrash's remix of Meat Beat Manifesto's Psyche Out. Then you will know the truth, my friend. Like I said, if Thrash didn't do much for him, he would've dumped him a long time ago. All hail thrash, the underrated genius in the band. Those of us who really know what's up don't have to bow down to the Illustrious Dr. Alex Paterson. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Mick - "Who's fighting and what for?

Actually, my version isn't called A II, but it's got the same track listing, and the quality is very very good. The picture sleeve is a picture of the back of someone's head, and it says The Orb The Visitor above the person. It also says The Orb The Visitor along the spine. However, on the back sleeve, it says New Music Night and Day. Then on the CD itself, it says The Orb Space Pills. ????????? Apparently, this one was made by Hypnotic Sounds Inc., 1994 in the UK. The times for this CD was: 10:18 Alex v. KLF 3:46 Brooklyn 7:09 Music 2 funk 2 5:02 Reefer spin 16:33 towers of dub solaris mix 11:33 oobe pool mix 9:00 blue room mark angelos 14:27 orb v. coldcut Again, this CD is totally awesome, and I recommend everyone to get it. I got it from Record Runner in NYC, although this was the last copy. They can *probably* get some more though. Their number is (212) 255-4280. It was $20 and they do do mail order.

The old 1-disc version has different mixes of "Perpetual Dawn" and "Star 6 & 7 8 9", but both mixes are also on the US "Perpetual Dawn" CD5 so if you have that you can toss the old 1CD version with a clear conscience. - -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@rt66.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "W.

UK Date: 17 Oct 1994 17:23:32 -0500 (CDT) the version of "perpetual dawn" on the original american release of _Adv.'s Beyond_ is the solar youth mix, and the song "star 6 7 8 9" is an edit of the phase II mix - both of these can be found on the "perpetual dawn" 12" or CDS i believe if you are an orb completist...

I have a bunch of these still, and would like to give everone the opportunity of getting one. u.f.orb bits "excerpts from u.f.orb" [sac 627] 1. o.o.b.e. :59 2. u.f.orb 2:57 3. blue room 2:37 4. towers of dub 4:01 5. majestic 1:56 These, obviously, are edited versions of the actual songs, but it's a nice collector's item and, from the rumours of a split, a bit of memorabilia :) To get a tape is simple: send me something cool, like a sticker, glow in the dark toy, an equally neat orb item, a stuffed animal, whatever, and $ .50 for postage. If what you send is really neat, I'll even waive the postage and throw in a couple extra tapes! Send neat things to: Steve Branson 3746 Florida St San Diego CA 92104 This offer available to anyone worldwide, so go for it! I'll mail your tape as soon as I get your request...

Apologies to all who have waited very patiently for their records. I attempted to send them from work, and it was a debacle. Everything is now in the mail, or will be by this Thursday. I have opened an account to deal with funds separately, and allow me to verify and mail on the same day. Also, my partner, whose hours more closely correspond with the P.O., will be handling mailing duties. Also, my inexperience in handling my newsgroup postings led to some abortive haggling sessions. I now realize that bidding is the way to go--so everything I'm offering is by bid and with no minimum. Next week the high bidder will take all on the following (vinyl) items. Apollo 11 "Peace (in the middle east)" MWS 17 T 1989 UK first pressing of "Huge" BLR DLP5 first pressing of "Adventures Beyond" WAMLP 004X Readymade URO breaks BLR LP 18 , ltd. with prints (vinyl seal broken) BLR LA 18 , ltd. with ORB FREE 1 (vinyl seal broken) ORB PROMO 5 "Assassin" and live, colored vinyl ABSORB BLRT 81 "Assassin / U.

[Sorry for the repeated info here, but I figured it was worthwhile for those who may have missed it the first time around] BTW, where have you seen copies of this disc? There are no shops near where I live (western NC) that carry Orb bootlegs, so I will probably have to resort to trying to mail-order it from somewhere that does this sort of thing. I've heard that several places in New York will do this, but I haven't got their names or phone numbers -- if anyone reading this can add some helpful info, that would be cool.

It is a round metallic sphere with two large knobs and a switch. The switch is to turn on the "Throb Ball", as it is called. The two knobs change the "volume" and "rate". What the thing does is send a small ellectrical pulse out of each side of the ball alternately. The effect of it is that you tingle. By changing the volume and rate you can change the feel of the tingle. It's actually a great party toy since you can get anyone to touch it and by completing the path (i.e. touching them somewhere) you can cause little tingles to shoot through them. With a little thought anyone could imagine the possibilities from kissing to ... It may sound a little sadistical, but it's rather harmless and makes anyone who touches it giggle. - -robert PS for anyone who cares my partner and I will be playing in San Diego for some big Halloween Rave and I will bring it for kicks.

Still planning to go if it's not too late a show (got school and all the next day), and it should be cool. Hopefully he'll be "creating" and not just spinning. -Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "David P. Potosky" Subject: Whoa one second!

I think it is Orbus Tyranus.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: fms@MIT.EDU Subject: Re: Dr. LX Alone...

Sheesh, correct me if I'm wrong but the good Dr Alex has always dj'd on the side. Both before, during, and (gulp) after the orb. Since it's not listed as the orb on tour featuring Dr Alex (and no Thrash) then it isn't a clear indicator that they broke up. In any case, he's coming to boston on the 10th (I believe) as well and both him and Dj Lewis are supposed to be pretty darn good. We'll be there with bells on. Later [fletcher] - [drlx on the 10th! ] [orbital on the 11th!] [what is going on? ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "David K.

The little blurb in the news of Melody Maker (or NME, I forget which one) suggested that Thrash didn't want to do any more live shows. As I remember, it didn't list the nest orb album early next year as the LAST one, just as the nest one. In the same issue, there was an add for some live DJ appearances and both Al-x and Thrash were on that bill. Of course someone else mentioned a couple weeks ago that Thrash was fed up with the cheezy samples an wanted to do his own stuff, so I dunno, I'll just wait until it is formally announced c-ya chris > Picked up this week's Village Voice, and saw that > "dr. alex patterson (of the orb) w/ D.J.

I assume that DJ Lewis is Lewis Keogh of "Assassin" and System 7 fame. I wonder if he's still 'with' System 7 (as it appeared he was for their last album...).

This might be of interest to you all, if comes from a local (Sydney) dance newspaper called "3D World". ORB fans need not worry about the future of the band's existence after it was announced that Kris Weston was to depart as a full-time member. The bands statement read; "Kris decided many months ago that he will prefer not to do live engagements with The Orb and would prefer to work in a studio environment." They have already found a replacement - Andrew Hughes who has previously played with the band at their appearance at Woodstock II as well as some recent Norwegian dates. Hughes has also played with The Orb in studio time. Regards, John /-------------------------------------------------------------------\ | JOHN BUS (aka.
