It's heavier than previous works - more agressive, heart pounding freakishness at times. the tracks typically start out with vocal samples - reiterating the theme of mankinds ascent into apotheosis - rebirth by apocalyptic annihilation into beings of pure energy - that transcend physical existence. the musical shapes LX and company conjuer forth are both brilliant and frightening. they are forever evolving and changing. bright chimes, soft analogue whirls, electronic beeps and buzzes that submerge underwater, resurface on the back side of the moon and cross the event horizon. and then there's rhythm, infectious beats that blithley arrange themselves on the canvas. pure bliss. like all great works, it takes some time to fully absorb. it's compelling, it grabs you and shakes you about, puts a bug in your ear and drags you through the agony and ecstacy of existence. my words can't do it justice, go out and submerge yourself in it.

Date: 01 Mar 1997 20:43:45 -0800 Just listening to the orb album and had to vent a little frustration. I have a live tape of the orb playing this one song, the most incredible song, with the phattest bassline, sounding like it was released when the orb came out, but still sounding new as well. I loved this song. And it turned out to be "secrets" from orblivion and what is on the viynl is no where near what i heard live. No heavy, heavy bassline, just a hollow part. Anyway, I am not saying it's a bad version(or maybe I am), but for those who have nto heard it live(and I hope it is the same live) you will enjoy it. And I have a question for anyone. I have 'passage of time" live too, but it has a completely different ending. The live one is great, trancy, and sounds like UF Orb-type music. This is not what is on the album and Im curious if anyone knows what this endi is or if it has even been released. Still a great album though.

If you are unable to find it in your local area, fear not. I will be creating a page for *Orblivion* in the *Chocolate Hills of Bohol* Discography section, complete with track listing, artwork, yes...SONG SAMPLES!!! I have been allowed more server space, so song samples for most of the entries will be found in the near future. If you have yet to visit Chocolate Hills: http://holly.colostate.edu/~robinv/Chocolate/index.htm is the NEW URL. I hope to have my own humble review of the album, song for song, in the news letter *Montagne D'Or, along with everything else I've mentioned by the middle of the week.

Date: 02 Mar 1997 01:13:08 -0500 (EST) Howdy folks, I'm writing in my capacity as editor of a global trance magazine - title still under wraps. Our first issue's slated to appear in May and will feature an interview with TiP Records' Raja Ram; an equally mindblowing interview with RTTS' Mark Allen, a knowledgable and imaginative technology section featuring gear reviews; an essay on wave modelling and a studio visit with Synchro. Other features include an introduction to the Chinese healing/art form Qi Gong, with an interview with Masters Ronger Shen and Yi Wu. Our book review section includes reviews of HArdboiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami, Red Earth & Pouring Rain by Vikram Chandra, David Toop's Ocean of Sound, Michael Talbot's Holographic Universe, and so on. Video game record reviews have begun and will be completed at the very end, alongwith the latest gear reviews. The In Transit section features reviews of big festivals, like RTTS Tsunami and Byron Bay Australia's Beyond the Brain featuring Terrence McKenna, as well as party reviews from Tokyo, New York, San Francisco, Tel Aviv, Goa, Amsterdam, Berlin, etc. We have a new media section coming up. We have a Pharmacopedia section kicking off with a nice, sober introduction to acid, candyflipping, and acid and ketamine together, along with an excellent bibliography. We're also expecting an excellent feature interview with Bob Moog (who recently went back into business). We have lots of other stuff in the works, for instance a piece on the drug laws of various cities frequented by the trance traveller. We'd love to talk with Alex Paterson about his perspective on dj'ing, the evolution of the orb, music, and metasystemic paradigm shifts like the one we're using to get down and build this global dance culture that we call h_om_e. Do you think he would be interested? The people at Konkrete Jungle and THROB Records in NYC tell me he's djing at K.J. on March 3rd. If anyone can suggest a possible means of contacting him about getting together before or after the gig to chat about these topics or whatever else he'd like to chat about, that would make me really happy!

I have to agree.. when I first listened to Pomme Fritz it was such an unexpected sound that I didn't buy it until last year. Now it ranks up there with the first album for me. In fact, it was the testimonies of those on this list that convinced me to check it out for the second time. As far as drugs go, when you listen to this album, you don't need them (which is how I feel about all of their music anyway).

I was really, really disappointed when uforb came out since I loved the first one so much, and now I can only appreciate pieces of it (oobe, towers of dub, blue room are excellent). I agree that some of it sounds dated, which the others don't.

If we set them equal as the first album for the orb in each of their two phases (ultraworld being phase I and orblivion being phase II.. are you with me?). both albums are similar in the sense that they range all over the orb's capabilities, from ambient to poppish to dub to whatever. The next step in phase I is u.f.orb, an excellent album which became very much harder edge dance music than the first rather experimental album. they stopped with the variety (for the most part) and stayed to one basic formula (being a 4/4 beat). now, let's look at phase II - it seems that the obvious way for the orb to go would be jungle (as hinted in orblivion). i expect the next album to mainly stick to jungle rather that house (jungle is a much more complex form of dance music) and to kick ass (like u.f.orb). if they follow along strictly, there should be some kinda fourty minute single version of one of the best tracks :) ...then following in sequence comes a live album. live 99? live at the dawn of the new millenium when the ball drops? who knows... i just think it's gonna happen. ...then the orb will take WWWAAAYYY to much acid and make something resembling pomme fritz :) :) :) :) :) ...(in phase one, next comes orbvs terrarvm) as for the next step of phase II, then andy hughes will leave and alex will start working with another kru and will tone this album down a little bit because the last one was so wacky. well.. that's it. i'm sure you can all respond and tell me what a wacko i am, but its all in the name of fun :) see you in the ultraworld ------frankie g [] [] ~~~~~~~ * ~~~~~~~ \____===u # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: derrien@club-internet.fr (Jean Christophe Derrien) Subject: (orb) Wrong thought Date: 07 Mar 1997 08:49:02 +0100 DJ ANIMA said : >Does anyone >know if the molecular compound that is behind the Eiffel Tower is for >LSD or THC? Just a thought. Nope, nope, it's the Atomium located in Belgium. For US members, there's also Big Ben, Berlin, Athena, Kheops, etc... In this case, it's not at all about drugs, it's about the end of the civilization as we know it. Of course, there's the Delta Mk II reference (to the drug) but otherwise, I don't think this album is about drugs. Am I the only one who can enjoy the Orb music without drugs ? Anyway, this album is a diamond, especially Delta Mk II, Bedouin and Molten Love. Does anyone know if Fil Le Gonidec is French ? It sounds like it.

Delta Mk II is a truth drug the CIA developed in the 60's. They built this camp called Jonestown, which was filled entirely with mad people. It was perceived as the base for a religious cult, which served as a cover for the CIA to run covert operations. It's nothing new really, the CIA have always done stuff like this, and still are. It's like back in the 50's, when they were experimenting on Amercian soldiers with LSD. There was a CIA acid test, where they'd give troops LSD and the one's who cracked stayed at home, and the one's who remained sane, and saw God, beauty or whatever, would go."

Now, the gig is sold out, and has been for a while, right? Well, due to a mate's unforeseen transport problems, I may have two spare tickets to the gig to sell. Anyone interested? Send me a message - preferably with a phone number to speed things up - if you're interested. I won't actually know for certain until Saturday afternoon whether the tickets are available, so it'll all be a bit rushed and hectic I'm afraid.

Does the newest Aphex Twin CD "Richard D James" come with extra stuff added to it in Canada. I believe I heard something about it being so short that the record company decided to add more to it just to make it a "regular" length album. I've already heard some of it on www.alstarmag.com.

A few days back I believe I saw someone say that it's similar to the Orb's older work....which is definitely NOT true. Orblivion reminds me of Orbus Terrarum more than anything else, with its 'dense' beats and 'complex' basslines, etc. S.A.L.T (what does it stands for again?) is a masterpiece, and so is Delta MK II, and well, pretty much the whole album. It's already one of my favourites. But there's no way that the sound is like the more ambient sonic style of U.F.ORB or Adventures... It's funny how some people are taking all that 'mystic' stuff on SALT seriously.....that business about the 6666 in barcodes and the lining up of the planets or whatever in a cross...I also hear that Alex is taking that stuff seriously too... IF anybody cares, the rumour in Toronto is that the Chem Bros. are indeed opening for the ORB on May 13th...and the Opera House is the unconfirmed location...

Date: 17 Mar 1997 20:44:24 +0000 Okay, you Orbsters, I went to see the Orb on Friday at the Liverpool University gig, from 9pm-2am. Got in late so I don't know what the first DJ was like... The Orb came on at about 11:30 and immediately begun with the "Montagne d'Or" sample of the Constantinople man, except it went much further than what is on that CD. A few tracks later (which were more techno than anything else) they played Asylum...followed by some good ambient-dub in betweens. S.A.L.T. came on and was particularly evil, and eventually they finished off with Toxygene - about 8-10 minutes long! All in all, it was too much new, not enough old (in fact, not any old). I found that both annoying and fustrating. They played for 1hr30mins but time flew by! Samples were good, but went on far too long, I thought, stopping and starting the crowd like puppet-masters. Overall : good, but nothing like Phoenix festival 1995 Any more comments/Questions welcome: gg0u40c4@liverpool.ac.uk Luigi. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Benjamin J.

Well, take at a look at the specs at http://www.nbn.com/youcan/upc/barcode.html (for beginners) or at http://www.adams1.com/pub/russadam/upccode.html and you'll see that there's a technical reason why the 3 guard bars are there. As for the bars representing 666: well, that's not even the proper way to read numbers on an UPC, and the codes differ depending on what side the number is on.

Well, this will grab it too..... THE DAY I INTERVIEWED ALEX AND ANDY (and saw them play portsmnouth) Last Thursday (13th March) I had the priveledge of interviewing Alex and Andy for my show on NERVE FM (which has now reached the end of it's month long run, by the way.....). After witnessing the most amazing version of Passing of Time in the soundcheck, the Tour manager, Neil, ushered me into the dressing room to meet the guys. Lounging on two small blue sofas, the greeted me quite enthusiastically, telling me to pull up a chair. It was a nice dressing room - a table with red table cloth and fruit bowl in the corner, numerous chairs etc. I got out my Marantz cassette recorder and microphone, prompting Alex to tell Andy to be on the ball (I don't think it worked that well). The perils of analogue were discussed, briefly, before we got started. They were rather amusing, and seemed nice enough guys. They kept going off at a tangent in the interview though ("Hull is the Las Vegas of the East Coast" -Andy, "Sheffield is like Detrroit without the music scene" - Alex). They did reveal that the problems with the release of ORBLIVION were because of U2. They claim that they didn't want to clash with u2, who were going to release POP last Autumn (last Fall, American readers). So they scheduled orblivion for spring. Unfortunately, U2 changed the date and everthing went pear shaped... or "It buggered it all up" as Andy said. They also told me that they were going to win the F.A Cup. I ,of course said "Chelsea, you mean?" and Alex replied "oh, and helsea as well". The whole bizarre episode is being chronicled in an article for a local magazine. This will feature the obvious "Do you work well as a pair?" / "He works well as an orange" / "You're a banana" routine. The gig after was great.... but that'll be in a different message!

Well, things were kicked off by Alex Djing some mellow Drum 'n' Bass, before Witchman played more Mad Jungle. Thomas Fehlmann Djed some cool stuff, including hard dub. During Thomas's set, LX wandered round the audience, watching thomas. Nobody seemed to realise who he was except me. I chatted to him again, for a bit before he dissappeared. The orb themselves were pretty damm good. They started with the Sportsnight theme (popular Wednesday night sports highlights programme in UK) into a monster version of Passing of Time. Can't remember what was next but ythey played Secrets (great), the manic breakbeat of Delta Mk II, an unbeatable version of Outlands, Asylum, S>A>L>T, A Beefed up Toxygene and Assasin (a bit shite).

As far as I remember they played :- Outlands Delta Mk II Passing of Time Pi S.A.L.T. Toxygene and finished off with Assassin. Julie Andrew's "Favourite Things (Favorite Things for the American readers)" and Napoleon the 14th's "They're Coming to take me Away,Haa Haa" were some of the amusing samples used. The set only lasted for about 1 hour 20 minutes though. Dreadzone were down for a three quarter hour set but they played for 1 hour. It was the first time I had seen Orb live after waiting for 2 years. They were quite good but just a little diappointing,probably due to the sound system and poor sound balance. The evening's Sound System was bass boomy with a rather harsh top range and very little of the middle frequencies.It made some of the vocal samples difficult to hear properly. Also the mixing desk settings seemed to be badly set.,the Toxygene melodic line barely audible under the bouncy beat. I thought they were supposed to do soundchecks first ? Dreadzone came off much better---maybe because they aren't as multi layered as Orb. They certainly rocked the place. As for the evening's D.J ing,it was pathetic. The evening supposedly kicked off with Alex D.Jing followed by Andy Weatherall.All we got was a sparse 4/4 drum rhythm sparsely accompanied and with little variation---A.P. and A.W. were indistinguishable. It sounded like a tape or sequencer left running on and on. Overall we quite enjoyed the evening and the crowd were friendly,but there was hardly any dancing to the "D.J." stuff,more dancing to Orb and nearly everyone dancing to Dreadzone. We always seem to get "rave" reviews of the live Orb shows on this list so I'll probably get shot down in flames for this posting---------probably by someone who went to Manchester and heard it with different ears to mine. My friend agreed with my sympathies and was even more critical of the crummy sound system than I was,which was a pity as the Orb would have benefitted enormously with decent sound.

You have to take into account the fact that there is no solid 'definition' of drum n' bass, and that it's a subjective opinion. For example, what's the definition of ambient music? How about rock?

I counted roughly the times I've listened to Orblivion the few days since I've had it, I'm over 20 for sure! 20 full times through, that's probably why I'm writing this inane post to the list, I've lost control over basic functions! for instance, right when I got it, I headed straight down to my basement, turned out all the lights, listened straight through right between the speakers...by 'secrets' and the tripped weather girl (the same as at the end of the remix project?), I literally moaned from the intensity I was experiencing...and I don't do drugs. what an album. some questions: there's a sample about peanut butter sandwiches in passing of time...some words around it, does anyone know what they are? A friend and I were debating LX's assertion that the Orb was about buttocks...we're convinced it's much closer to peanut butter sandwiches after all. and you UK'ers seem to hear better than I some of the samples going on in delta mk II...can't make many of them out, not like I'm sitting down and rewinding it until I hear it, though. hey, why not hear the rest of it instead, you know? this is likely absolutely nothing, but what about that 'awed by tradition' sample at the start of secrets? it rhymes with the 'law of repetition' sample starting valley on the 96 peel sessions...keep hearing the two against each other in my head...but maybe that's another cue to go to bed.

Or think about it this way. Does the orb sound like Eno, do they sound like lee perry, or what about orbital. No, they sound like the Orb by using various styles aand morpphing them into their own unique style. I wouldnt say that drum n bass is the be all to end all concerning electronic music, but then again I would not put the orb in that spot either. There is lots of good music, thats what you should have learned from lx and the orb. it might be different considering i live in the us, maybe you guys have this shit force feed to you by the media, clubs, other people, etc. IF you hate it so much just ignore it, but dont come down on me for having a different opinion.

Anyone else out there at the gig on St. Paddy's night ??? It was unbeleivable, I mean I've seen "The Orb" before but this was just a revelation for me, the venue was much better, a smallish theatre with a really intimate feel, and a really strange mix of a crowd, a friend of mine came in and thought he was after going to a Metallica gig by accident !!!! The stage setup was more simple aswell but very effective, not very many lights but a great projection show on the stage. When the Orb came out they came out screaming- Really kicking beats of "Secrets" and then "Delta MK II", the crowd went ballistic, the live show really went in for pounding beats- Andy Hughes really went mental, Headbanging and basically jumping around, while LX just stood there and looked busy. By the time "Toxygene" came on I was nearly drooling, and there wasn't a single person ion the house that wasn't jumping around like a headcase. The only track that was a bit of a let down was "S.A.L.T." it was exactly the same live, as on the album, and also was the only track they played that wasn't really heavy. For anyone who is going to see them in the near future, all I can say is you are in for a treat. Someone was asking about merchandise- I bought an Orblivion T-Shirt for L14 (Irish), which has the cover of the album on the front and orblivion written on the back, This was probably the best T-shirt I saw, the other ones were a "Toxgene" t-shirt and what looked like a "Auntie Aubreys....." T-shirt, although I can't be sure. I would have written this letter yesterday only I was in bed for most of the day recovering, (My legs feeling like lead!!!!!!!). B.T.W.- did anyone go to the extra show they did in Dublin ???

Liquid Todd, a local DJ type, will be host and may be DJ-ing that night, not sure. Campus/Manray is two-clubs-in-one located near Central Square, Cambridge. Liquid Saturdays have been marketed to a mixed queer 18+ crowd. The Manray floor tends a little more toward techno and alternative sounds and the Campus floor tends to have more bouncy house music, but it depends on who's the DJ. Will let you know if any interesting promo stuff get distributed. Friends went to the Aphex Twin and Moby release parties. The Aphex night had masks with the face of Richard from Richard D. James album, but most people did not know what to make of them. The Moby night had 2-track promo CDs with the album and "clean" versions of 'That's When I Reach For My Revolver'. __Matt # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael Duffy Subject: (orb) DC SHOW!!!!!

I don't think the singles have actually been issued yet, but when they are I assume they'll be available about as widely as "Toxygene" was. $12.49 strikes me as very very expensive for UK singles; places like Ear/Rational will probably be selling them for a little over nine bucks (and UK readers will no doubt be able to find them for Lstg. 1.50 or so -- less than three dollars American -- for the first week of release, as usual). -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) ::: Internet Music Wantlists: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo/Wantlists # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Christopher William Niemitz Subject: (orb) FS: O.O.B.E.

Dear God, if I don't see them in >Chicago, I'll have to drive eight hours to Detroit! >Steve When trying to get information on obscure acts from Ticketmaster, it helps not to use the band name, but give them the venue and the date. Example: "I'm looking for two tickets to the Orb show at Chicago's Aragon on April 26th". They'll be much more responsive. Tickets -are- available for that show. You can bet your bootus I'll be there. The first time I saw the Orb in '93 at Metro, I went with two of my friends. In 95 at the Riviera, there were four of us. Now, in 97, looks like 8 of us are going. Andy, if you're reading this, you can chalk up any increasing midwestern US sales of Orb materials to my efforts... ;) Oh yeah... I haven't commented on Orblivion yet. After having been mildly dissapointed with the Orb's output over the last few years (except for being blown away by the '95 show I went to), I'm really glad that they've come out with an album as good as Orblivion. I keep thinking when I listen to it that it's like a funnier, more f.u. System 7 album -- which I think is high praise indeed.

We seemed to have determined that the sample in front of S.A.L.T. is erroneous, misinformed, and/or outdated, but what about the other "fact!!" s that he tells us? They are easily proven or misproven. The planets and the cross thing, the tattooing thing, and most easily, Chernobyl translating to "Wormwood" and Wormwood actually being in Revelations. I'm surre almost anyone who listens to that sample wonders how much/little is true. Another thing, related to the sample theme: Is there a list anywhere of known Orb samples? I know that Delerium/Front Line Assembly/etc fans have a list of samples collected, but I cannot recall a list for the Orb like that. Is the S.A.L.T. sample from the movie Naked? I seem to remember that there was to be long samplings from that movie in some song on this album. As to the debate as to whether Orblivion has any drum-n-bass influences, I'd like to add my two cents: What I've thought, and said, since I heard Orblivion was that LX, or whoever, basically had enough drum-and-bass-ey-type beats to say : "Yeah, we know drum-and-bass exists, but we're not gonna follow that trend" That's the way I took it, anyway...Oh, before I end this letter, I want to say: "shite" so I show how british I can be/act. So, shite shite shite. Let's all say it together "SHITE!" sorry...

Maybe you're near the feeling I got when last friday in London I found out at Stargreen Boxoffice that something went wrong with my creditcardnumber and they already sold the tickets I booked!!!! The six of us went to London fridaymorning to do some shopping and go to The Orb at Brixton Acadamy on saturdaynight. A couple of weeks ago I made a reservation for six tickets at Stargreen Boxoffice by phone. I gave my cardnumber twice and the girl on the phone replied it also twice because I wanna make sure everything go well. SO friday afternoon I went to get the tickets to found out something went wrong with it!! Last week I also arranged a photopass via Island Records to do to a review for Dutch Magazine Bassic Groove. Friday afternoon I spent a lot of time calling and visiting Brixton Acadamy, Island Records, record shops and other tickets agencies but it all tickets were sold and there were no returns. So, fucking hell, no Orb concert for us!!! The whole weekend was fun after all. Bought some very nice and rare Orb things at Camden Town, visited a lot of pubs, enjoyed some nice Tanodoori and Thai food and did lots of other things. But hey, we should have been at Brixton Acadamy saturdaynight....

I just wanted to add that the skies in Arizona are very beautiful indeed. Plus being here in phoenix, thepollution makes nice colors too. I though about doing a video for LFC and showing all the smog, and car bealching blue and purple smoke. But I'm too lazy. But my point is, Ricky Lee is telling the truth.

The release party part of it consisted of very big Orblivion poster with UK tour dates listed at bottom and a drawing for ten copies of "Orb vinyl" (which may be the album or something else, did not say). The drawing was to take place later. Other than that, the music was okay, with the coolest sounding track being the club mix of Way Out West's 'The Gift', very breakbeat and a bunch of other things. Sounded like one of the drum & bass mixes of Everything But The Girl, at first. Did not hear any Orb. Next week's release party is for the 'Insomnia' single by Faithless. Copies of the CD single will be given out to first 100 patrons.

;-) we got down to brixton at about 8.30-8.45, and has to queue for a while, as the doors didn't open 'til 9pm. we were all a bit concerned, 'cos none of us actually had any tickets at that point - sean and jc had to collect them on the way in at the box office, and me and nicki were supposed to be on the guest list... nico - really sorry to hear about the fuck-up with your tickets. you should really give stargreen some shit over this.... anyway, we all got in ok. me and nicki were on the list - thankyou andy hughes, you are indeed a gentleman and a top man! the academy has a sloping floor, but most of it had been levelled off to make a dance floor. the music was already banging away when we got in - i only knew that it was lx djing, 'cos i saw the running order backstage. i think most people had no idea who it was, as all the djing was done offstage - faceless techno bollocks indeed! lx played a pretty good set, with a good variety of stuff. andy weatherall played a blinding set - the place was starting to fill up pretty rapidly by now, and before he had finished the dance floor was packed with people. witchman was pretty good - just one guy with a bunch of sequencers, samplers and stuff - drum 'n' bass stuff. i'd quite like to hear him on record, but i don't think his music will change my life.. next up were dreadzone, who do absolutely nothing for me...nicki wanted to see them, but decided against it after the first couple of songs, so we went up to the guest bar for a drink, and a bit more space. the guest bar was directly above the auditorium, and you could look through the windows onto the scene below. there were a bunch of separate djs just for this bar - there was a female dj who played some pretty good stuff, but i have no idea who she was... i bumped into andy weatherall in the bar, but didn't get a chance to talk to him, although i did try - sorry ernie! :-< anyway, i saw andy hughes in there, and spoke to him briefly. i'm amazed that he knew who i was, and checked that i got in ok. he also asked after JC. the upshot of the conversation was that andy was, quote 'shitting his pants', unquote. he couldn't understand why, 'cos he'd been touring for two weeks... i asked him how the manchester all-nighter went, and he thought it had gone pretty well, but they'd pissed off the local press by cancelling all their interviews that day... he disappeared backstage soon after, so we went back down to have a listen to thomas felhmann. not too impressed - he just appeared to be playing the same song for about a hour... :-< the orb came on at 1.30am precisely, to the strains of the 'sportsnight' theme tune, as they had at the astoria in january. they opened up with 'passing of time', 'secrets' and 'asylum'. other tracks were, in no particular order...delta mkII, outlands, star 6 7 8 9, log of dead wood, s.a.l.t, and finished up with toxygene. it was a pretty good set, but i'm probably the wrong person to review it, as it wasn't much different from the astoria set - which isn't surprising, as it was a warm-up for this tour - but it went down VERY WELL with the packed crowd. the set only lasted an hour an twenty minutes, and most people were upset that they didn't come back on for an encore. i didn't think that the set was as 'tight' as the astoria gig, but that's just a matter of opinion... if you haven't seen the orb for a while, prepare yourself for a blinding show - lights, projections, music and all! after a long pause while the crowd were waiting for a encore, dj lewis came on and carried on where thomas felhmann left off... :-< we went upstairs for a bit of a sit down for a hour or so, before meeting up with the others, and leaving about 4-4.30am..... so in conclusion - if you haven't got your tickets yet, get 'em, 'cos you'll miss a good night out. and then.....we slept, and slept, and slept... laters. -- Smiley ps.

Guess they changed the permissions so you can't download the .ra files) You may want to check the version of your RA Player and make sure its at least version 3. As for the Orb covering or remixing "Cars", can anyone confirm this? Are you just assuming this was done by the Orb because Alex dropped it in his set?

I was slightly disappointed by the length of the Orb set (I remember the Nimes gig in July 1995 where they played for 3 hours in an open arena (I mean a real Roman arena !) so great, so ambient), but it was very very cool to see them in the legendary Brixton Academy. LX played "Always Returning" (Brian Eno) mixed with the Orb remix of Gary Numan (can't wait the mid April release), which was a wonderful moment. And I thought the other DJs sets surprisingly weren't very interesting, especially the Thomas Fehlmann mix (or should I say it was the longest boring techno single ever ?) The group played a kick-ass Delta Mk II version, a Toxygene "all mixes included" version... The music pieces were always filled with false ends, just to start again and again. I recognized a sample from their Mike Oldfield remix "Sentinel" between two songs. The light show was awesome, and the images from the background inventive. And it was cool too to see so much merchandising like A blue Toxygene tshirt A sperm ovula Toxygene Tshirt An auntie aubrey tshirt an orblivion cover tshirt an Orb mug a grey Orb hat ! Disappointed that I hadn't talk to Andy, but I'm happy that he talked about me with Smiley. When you hear Orb in England, it's really different; seems that they belong to there, with their humour, their bizarre creativity... Just listen to "OObe" while walking near the Battersea Power Station, and you'll know what I mean. I'll go again to see them in Paris, hoping this time to talk to Andy. It was also great to meet other guys from the list. I think my english improved this week end by learning new expressions for me, like arse and to mess his kecks ! Some news : The Can album remix "Sacrilege" will be released in UK in May, 5 The Tangerine dream vs Orb remix has been already released (since March, 20) in US on CD and 12", according to the TD Official web site. The cover is blue, both of the releases contain the remix and the original version of the track. TD apparently didn't like the 7"remix, and thay didn't really like the attitude of the Orbsters.

I realize this is an extremly ancient message I am replying to, but I very much agree, in more of a vague sort of way. Art simply triggers the greatness within each of us. A song, a painting, or a keen fractal, there all just objects, but with the listener or viewer, they become a emotional experience. I have noticed a little change of pace also for the orb. I seem to recall quotes about keeping the orb faceless, yet we seem to see a great deal of photos now of Andy and LX, even one included in their gem 'Orblivion.' I totally dig thr orb in a major way, but thats about it. I think you have to come to the realization that the art is not the artist(s) themselves, but their molements of glory. ?

Anyone know what the > extent of their contribution is, and if it's worth grabbing that disk as > well? I think this was dealt with a while ago, but anyways. Cocksville IS good, and it has a real 'orbus terrarum' feel to it. It starts off real slow, takes about 5 minutes to build up, and then releases its beat amid sounds of Alex imitating a chicken. It's actually quite funny (and you get _real_ weird stares from people when you listen to it). But would you buy the album just for the song? Well, it's a 2 CD set with some of the best dub I've heard in a while, and when I first went to buy it I didn't even know the Orb were involved. It was just a super-duper added bonus. So I'd recommend you buy Mysteries of Creation. Not only will you get Cocksville USA but you'll also get an awesome compilation with the likes of DJ Spooky, Bill Laswell and other greats. And the only Orb contribution to the album I can remember is the Cocksville USA track, but I may be wrong as I don't have the booklet with me. But I don't remember seeing anything else. Hope this helps.

A couple of quick snaps and a spot of hot chocolate and it was down to the Tube to meet the crew. Met up with Sir Smiley and g/f Nikki in Victoria and proceeded down to Camden Town. Smiley was the musical tour guide, merrily snatching Orb rarities out of vinyl bins in many a shop like Willie Wonka in the chocolate factory. Got Assassin 12", Tangerine Dream remix, YMO remix, System 7 Mircale remix off Habib, and on and on... Then we met up with JC and Sophie from Paris who had been on a spree of their own and decided to compare notes at the World's End pub. After a few pints, a certain Bush song came on the air and yes folks, Smiley *did* confess his secret passion for the group. ;-) Sophie and JC recounted past Orb shows and we all had a good time. Smiley drilled me on the "G'Day mate", "Thank ye Mate", "Cheers Mate" rhetoric so I didn't appear to be too much of a soggy american. Next was a mad dash to get back to the hotel and meet up again with everyone to go to Brixton. The rain was coming on fierce by this time. In Brixton station, Smiley plucked the Herb Garden issue with the Orb tape out of thin air into my surprised arms. Many a bloke were selling tickets to the show (very sorry Nico about that ticket mess, that's a bunch of shite to put up with, did you try getting on the guestlist or scalp tickets?). We settled into the Academy around 9pm and were greeted with LX's djing, although no one probably knew it. It was some fantastic drum n' bass that had me dancing in my mind. Fehlmann next with some ambient noodling and the ever so humble Witchman who started his set off with a looped "Witchman! Witchman!" chant. Then it was Dreadzone. By this time things were getting quite packed so we headed down front to check them out. They greeted the crowd with a knock your socks off bass line that rumbled the ground and launched into their unique style of reggae/drum n bass/whatever you want to call it (I think Smiley called it shite :) set. Their video was info overload, berzerkish, hectic freestyle images that didn't stop pounding along with the music. Interesting. Orb was next, I think, somewhere around 1:30 am and they opened with the sports sample and then Passing of Time. Like Orblivion, the music was *thick* with samples. A smorgasborg of sound that ebbed and flowed through soft, ambient landscapes and dancey drum n bassy terrain. Toxygene and Delta MK II was infectious. Outlands/Star 6789 was another treat - different without the live band. They also played Secrets, Asylum, S.A.L.T. and Log of Deadwood. Also Pi, which was simply whacked out and grand. All in all I felt the Orb set was just blindingly brilliant, albeit far too short. Loads of ambient segways and dancey bits. The stage show is hard to describe - a tepee like metal structure with two pods and 4-6 polygon screens for videos plus many lights projecting triangles, circle clusters, etc. The video work was quite good, very trancey fractals and the sort and high quality. I do wish they would have encored, they left everyone in suspense for a while with no sound before DJ Lewis came on. I was surprised at how many people they packed into the academy. There was the main hall, sloped, which was packed to the hilt with mad dancers and chill outs who tried to sit through the entire show. Out in the foyer they were selling shirts, hats and the sort. Rachel picked up an orange rib tshirt for 18 pounds or so. All along the walls up the stairway and in another hall were tons of people sitting and talking. In one section of the upstairs hall a DJ was spinning some jungle and people were getting a good dance out of it. After the show we stumbled out into a rainy London AM, nabbed some cardboarded orb posters off a side rail and headed on a night bus to Victoria Station. We grabbed a quick bite to eat. Smiley and Nikki were eating this whacky fries and ketchup in a pita meal that looked mighty tasty. We said our goodbyes and headed off in our own directions. Smiley/Nikki to the rail, JC/Sophie for a walk to Waterloo to catch their train, and we decided that it was time to take a taxi to Russell Square given by a particularly nasty cab driver who didn't care much for our sort. As we were driving past Hyde Park, we noticed many people with heavy smiles and tired eyes emerging from the various nightclubs. A good time, well worth it. Seeing Orb in London had a certain homey feel to it. The people were generally very friendly and chatty. Thanks again go to Smiley, JC and group for a splendid time! Now if you're up for the NY and DC shows on May 9,10, give me a yell ;-) cheers, sean # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Anthony Bryan Subject: (orb) OrbTampa Date: 26 Mar 1997 12:09:22 -0500 (EST) Just passing on some info a friend sent about the orb show in Tampa/Ybor City.

I thought it was a pretty good track, and it can also be found on the Altered Beats compilation CD on that same label. The disc itself is worth buying, even without the Orb track. My 'impression' with it, as it were, was that Cocksville U.S.A. sounds more like the stuff on Orbvs Terrarvm more than any of the other albums.

Date: 27 Mar 1997 21:35:50 -0800 (PST) OK, I saw a UK import CD of Orblivion in the store again and this time I wrote down the times of the tracks. There are lots of discrepancies between it and the US version: Track US UK Delta Mk II 7:00 6:30 Ubiquity 6:13 6:23 Asylum 5:19 "Made in England" sticker, time unknown Bedouin 4:31 4:25 Molten Love 6:40 6:41 PI 1:05 1:10 S.A.L.T 7:55 8:15 Toxygene 5:20 5:00 Log of Deadwood 1:14 1:30 Secrets 5:32 5:40 Passing of Time 9:27 9:27 72 0:06 0:06 [yea, right...] As you can see, a few tracks are the same length, or only a second or so off, but others are off by 20-30 seconds or so. My challenge to anyone who has the UK and US versions for some strange reason (or at least access to opened copies of both) is to time both versions with a stopwatch or something and either: 1 - Verify that Virgin UK somehow completely miscommunicated the lengths of the tracks to Virgin US, but that they are in fact the same. or 2 - Verify that some songs have slightly different mixes/edits between the US and UK versions.

I am also a KLF fan and member of that list as well. My reasons for being here are to learn more about the orb, and increase my collection of Orb music. In particular I am looking for a CD versions of the Eternity Project One, and the Aubry Mixes. I am also looking for the Jam On the Mutha "Hotel California" 12" Remixes by the Orb. I can be very flexible when it comes to cash, but I like trades better. I have only one significant orb related item for trade. A white label promo version of the KISS 12". Enclosed with it is an info sheet with detailed track information and a short biography. I have many KLF items.

I have a quick question... On Orblivion, the secret track about 5 min into '72' sounds very much like a remix of 'Towers of Dub'. There are ToD fingerprints all over it... is there a title for this remix? and is it remixed by orb (sounds like it)?

It's only natural, then, that while everyone else trades in their weed for a more visceral stimulant and speeds up their breakbeats to absurd velocities, the London-based dubwise crew continue to gurgle along at their own stoned pace. "Not that the group doesn't give it a shot on Orblivion. The occasional drum'n'bass break surfaces through the dense sea of samples and rubbery bass lines, but it's still like trying to jog underwater. The apocalyptic S.A.L.T., with a lifted rant from Mike Leigh's file Naked, is vintage Orb paranoia shrouded in elaborately orchestrated, perpetually unstable beats, and while it's nothing particulary groundbreaking in light of past Orb successes, few do the headphone symphony thing better." I think this one pretty much hits the mark. And that part about "the headphone symphony" couldn't be truer.

RS makes reference to "fan alienation" following the release of Orbus Terrerum (only the most superficial fans missed the boat on this) and the inevitable comparison to Prodigy, etc. Kind of like saying "these Beatles guys really sound a lot like Oasis, so I'll give 'em 3 stars." RS, and even the British press often seem to forget that UFOrb debuted at number one in England, while marvelling at the commericial success of today's so-called Electronica artists.

Date: 31 Mar 1997 23:18:34 -0500 Haven't seen a speck of listmail in a while, so I'm sending this as a test message as much as anything. Finally found a copy of the UK pressing of _System Express_ here. Even though it's not all new, it's all very, very good. This and _Orblivion_ are making this a great time for excellent music. Looking forward to the D.C. Orb show at the 9:30. I don't suppose anyone on here can say if Thomas Fehlmann will actually make the rounds this tour, now that he's more "officially" a band-member. Anyone across the Big Pond seen him onstage yet?

TURNTABLE Date: 09 Mar 1997 14:21:13 -0800 Hey people, I think I might have the final word on concluding this debate... Ever try to scratch sounds with a DAT? I didn't think so.. Does your DAT pitch? I didn't think so...(if it does, then lucky you...) BUT.. The debate of tape vs. turntable goes waayyy back to the days of reel-to-reel (and 8 track tapes) vs. turntables (I don't know how many of you are old enough to remember such devices in everyday use.) Suffice to say that both DAT and Turntables are effective tools that use different methods of helping the artist to create a desired sound. To argue the virtues of apples vs. oranges is moot.
