None have had the promo. They haven't heard anything about it. Even the privately owned stores have no clue what I'm talking about. One store in particular that has is apparently well known everywhere in the country did not know anything. They have tons of stuff. To give you an idea of their selection I picked up a brand new copy of Dance Busters Vol I with one of the mixes from the Kiss EP just the other day. They had Orblivion 2 weeks before it was due to be released. The closest I've gotten to Orbscure is that Lakeshore record exchange, but I had to order another copy of Orblivion to get it. They are not even sure if they are getting any more of them. It seems like they are concentrated in the New York area. Have they turned up in any stores anywhere else? Does someone have the e-mail address of someone in charge of distributing promos for the US division of Island records? I found an address inside of the Orblivion cover, but I figure by time the letter gets to the proper person the Orbscure Trax will be gone. If any one can come up with an extra copy before I find one I will pay $30 for it.

Date: 01 May 1997 01:16:42 -0700 (MST) first of all, why didn't anybody say that there was going to be a pyramid on the stage? Was this not present at the orb/chem bors shows? It was a... pyramid... and LX and Andy played inside of. It was cool. it was covered with white tarpouline that they projected the images onto. Second of all, I believe they were taping the concert, but they might do this for every show. Third of all, I didn't meet anybody, of course us Phoenix kids kinda forgot to offer descriptions huh? Well, I was wearing a red visor with blonde hair. Blue and white rayon jogging pants, a white and blue ringer t-shirt with a blue logo on the front. And I was dancing my ass of. Fourthly, what was up with the breakdancers?? Sluckily, the DJ wasn't putting me in a dancing mood anyhow. I have no Idea what the set list was, but I do know that they played Valley at 11:00. They ended with toxygene, and came out and played Little Fluffy Clouds as an encore. Thy mixed a bunch of samples from other orb songs from that era, which kinda confused things. Well, until that old familiar sample came in... "what were the ...." I got to the club early to do my interview type thingy. I basically had alex do some radio ID things for my station, and him and andy signed ALL of our stuff. He signed a total of five posters (two I have) and he signed my toxygene 12" too. Andy signed my two posters and my 12" as well. I also got a picture of me and lx and of me and andy. here was the times that were posted before the concert: 5:00 > 6:00 Dinner 6:00 Soundcheck 7:00 > 8:00 DJ "LX" 8:00 > 9:00 Local DJ's 9:00 DJ Lewis 10:00 Orb 11:40 Dj Lewis 12:00 Curfew Aftershow Tempe to Los Angeles (381 miles) Tommorow Load in 10:00 AM they followed this schedule (so far) almost exactly. There were supposed to be two local DJ's but the one, Marcus Schultz got there a little late, and I think he didn't spin. The other local DJ (works at Swell Records I think) did a good set, but I think he wasn't prepared to spin for an hour, because it seemed to me that his set deteriorated towards the end. I like the Beastie Boys and all, but not as a warm-up for the orb. Lewis cam on at 9:0 the orb played from 10:00 right up until about 11:50, so DJ Lewis didn't bother to come back out. Yeas Tempe has a curfue at midnight for under 18: people, and I think it was all ages show, so that explains that. I hope the show at Las Vegas will be as good or better, but the Chem's are kinda getting me worried. (well, actually it's the FANS of the chems that are geting me worried) peace out yo! quote of the day: ORBLIVION ... or is it? -Andy Orb '97 (signed on my poster) "A long time ago there was a person who was as misunderstood as we are... and they nailed him to a fucking cross..." djblue@asu.edu --==--==-- http://www.public.asu.edu/~djblue # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: sean Subject: Re: Fwd: (orb) the girlfriend (*gasp*) Date: 01 May 1997 09:57:15 -0400 (EDT) why is this being discussed , shut up already. how about being the one not to take the bait.

Date: 01 May 1997 10:25:57 -0700 In today's editiopn of the San Francisco Chronicle, on the front of the Datebook section, there's a mammoth copy of that well-known photo of Andy and LX (Andy nestled in a big coat in the background, LX in a wooly-type cap, one eye open wider than the other) and a write up. I don't have time to type the whole thing in, but for the benefit of those without access to the SF paper (although you can try www.sfgate.com) i'll highlight the main points: blah blah blah... sharing the bill with the Chems, but it goes on to say: "although their cds may be found in the same record store bin, the two groups are miles apart in other ways. The Chems are the media icons of the current boom, deliverign a second album that owes most of its success tolavish writeups in glossy magazines and rapid MTV play, rather then its retreaded Beastie Boys grooves. On the other hand, the Orb, now on its 7th album of prgressive ambient-house music, is an inconspicuous veteran on the scene. (skipping some history we all know by heart now) ...While LX .. sin't thrilled by theadulation thrown on his corporately hatched contemporaries, he is appreciative of any attention the feeding frenzy mgiht bring to his own group." regarding electronica in America, LX says "it's just people catching on at last...it's better late than never. Look at Mozart: he had to die for 100 years before he was accepted." the paper also compares his style to pioneering composers like Brian Eno and Philip Glass All in all a very flattering revue, with hardly a word about the Chems, other than dissing them in the first paragraph, which reinstills my high hopes for the SF show. Of course, the paper also says they're playing here tonight (which we all know isn't true)....

By BEN WENER The Orange County Register It's easy being the aged godfather of a musical movement. You can rest on your laurels, make an album Whenever you want and expect that reverence from fans and critics will keep you selling well beyond your retirement. It's quite a different matter when you're merely one more pioneer of a potentially soon-to-pass trend struggling to keep current before the new rebels eat you alive. That's when you've got to do something to set yourself apart. It's a thought not lost on the Orb, the groundbreaking British techno outfit masterminded by former Killing Joke roadie Alex Paterson and his cronies Andy Hughes and Thomas Fehlman. The Orb Where: The Mayan Theatre, 1038 S. Hill Road, Los Angeles When: 8 p.m. Thursday Tickets: $20 Call (714) 740-2000 In 1989, Paterson started creating ambient worlds built around Eno-esque soundscapes and acid house beats, laying the foundation for what's now called electronica with early works such as the single "Little Puffy Clouds" and the album "U.F.Orb." But now the Orb's creation is verging on surpassing the band itself, with more recent groups such as the Chemical Brothers, the Prodigy and the similarly named Orbital finding greater sales and even MTV exposure, leaving the Orb to devise new sonic schemes. "Having pioneered something is really a dubious distinction when you get right down to it," Hughes said by telephone recently. "The notice is great, but it doesn't always translate into connecting people to what you're doing. "We've been lumped into the same genre as these other groups right now, and I'm not so sure that's such a bad thing. We're not all that different from the Chemical Brothers, after all. But I think we've become much more conscious of trying to appeal to a wider audience, though never by compromising what we're all about." They try to do that by bringing a rock ethic to the genre that abhors much of what rock stands for. The group's sixth album, "Orblivion," finds the trio plumbing more accessible sounds in shorter songs, something closer to an album of singles (well, bizarre singles) rather than a seamless whole that must be listened to from start to finish. "We tried to get rid of so much of the waffling we tend to do on our records," Hughes commented. "We built it up very much around a jam-style ideal, where we would just work out new grooves and quickly start paring them down, rather than letting tracks get away from us too soon." "Toxygene," the album's first single - and a sly jab at Maurice Jarre's new-age snoozer "Oxygene" - definitely returns the Orb to dancier roots. But it's still the more daring tracks - such as "S.A.L.T.," a lurking beat built around David Thewlis' millennium rant from Mike Leigh's 1993 film "Naked" - that keep the Orb ahead of its contemporaries. "We're not out there to create the perfect pop tune," said Hughes, 31. "'Toxygene' was a fluke, really. We were just (messing) around. Things like 'S.A.L.T.,' that's more of what we're about. It's about presenting more random thoughts and ideas - some I agree with, others I don't - but just putting -them out there to let people think for themselves." That approach, coupled with maintaining a restless spirit that manifests itself in limitless imagination, is the bottom line for the Orb. Next on the agenda, Hughes says, beyond more "music to make your eyes bleed," is a possible film score.

Just want to invite all ravers to come for a trip in Mexico. You bet, we have tons of different species of shrooms, the most potent hallucinogenic Salvia Divinorium (Hoja de la Pastora), loads of peyote and weed is way cheaper than tobacco. The vibe tends to get spiritual 'cause you can't really see peyote ,shrooms as drugs, they are food from the gods.Zapotecs,Mazatecs,Huichols,coras, and many other indians have used them for centuries with out trouble. Of course the e's,microdots and acids have taken over in the city and the big parties. big parties. There is a place called Tulum in the Mex Caribbean where the raves are becoming incredible. Maya land just fucks with your mind, psychic adventures every second. Just imagine some Maya ruins or white beaches surrounded by jungle with some breakbeat or Goa type shit. Jungle in the jungle. We need to create power by connecting all those in tune. Then the world gets more colorful, trippy and spiritual. Feel the vibe and the power of you guys connecting with us. Fuck dogmas your egos and your knowledge, just let yourself be taken by the vibe which will tell you which tunes, where and what. Come to Palenque , try our e's join the vibe, it just has no race. Here we are all a fucking mix of indians and Spaniards and a few blacks. Our rivers,rain forests and cities are the most fucked up ecologically, people are realizing shit 'cause we are pushing the limits, all with the help of high tech countries.

I don't know how many copies of it they have..... The downside is you have to have a minimum of $15 on your order. The good side is, they have quite a few rare promos for other groups as well, so it might not be hard to find a couple of things you want to get. Hope this is helpful!

Very, very good. Fine example of the Orb's new-found "compact and less = doodling" approach, clocking in at a mere 8:30. Listening to it you know = that in the past it would have been at least 15:00. Opens with a great = sample "hey everybody! It's time to play "Make a sentence!". Has nothing = to do with the original (cutesy and boring) TD track, a great orbience = that eventually rocks out in the middle.

I'm sure there was AT LEAST one list member who was at that historic recording, probably "tuning the Igster's mike" The Orb's version was recorded during the May 12, 1992 John Peel Session.

Quick summary = Virtually the same set each night ~ 1:55 long. Vegas seemed to be missing one song as it was 1:45, but don't you dare ask which one....I DONT REMEBER !!! :-)))) I was able to watch both Phoenix and Vegas shows from the front row which was well suited to my technically minded tastes. Starts with Secrets, Blue Room, etc, etc,.....SALT, Toxygene and the encore of LFClouds. Bedouin and SALT are not "performed" per se, but are used when they are switching ADATS. It appears Alex plays Bedouin form his Sony mini-DAT atop his decks and SALT is off a CD. Phoenix was a good show - a nice blend of Andy mixing a solid set with Alex filling the transitions with lots of samples. Decent crowd but not overly large, made it nice to be there. Saw Alex before the show and said hello although he seemed to fear for his life as I approached. The Pyramid set (anyone else think it looks like a F-117A) was pretty neat but seemed to set them back from the crowd a little. LA - not a great time :-( The Orb were good, but they played a much mellower set. Andy really toned down some of the opening tunes and Alex didn't seem to add much in the transitions. The real problem for me was the crowd, typical LA bullshit. No flames, as I was born and raised all 31 years here. LA sucks !! The crowd seemed more interested in seeing or being seen. I had a nasty suspicion that a fair amount of those in attendance couldn't name an Orb tune to save their hides. Such flakes...some guy was quoting the bible louder than music during the opening song....I looked over during the height of one song and the woman next to me was looking in a mirror "adjusting" her make-up....the crowd in front of me was snorting more coke than on an episode of Miami Vice, etc, etc..... Such a waste. Their Pyramid set was placed really far back form the crowd (?? 30 feet) and this probably didn't help things. Also expensive; those $20 shirts from Phoenix suddenly became $25 in LA...maybe that darned tariff to help pay for all that riot damage. Las Vegas - KICKED ASS !!!! There had been fear of the Chems overshadowing the Orb, and Andy and LX may have felt they needed to show the crowd a thing or two. Well they did. One great time! Andy was going ballistic dropping the beats in and out and did some great live remixing. LX seemed in fine form adding just the right amount of samples. The crowd seemed really responsive and actually cheered between songs, and I felt that the Orb had indeed captured the attention of those who may have come just for the Chems. Because of the quick set changes between the the bands, the Pyramid was not used and Andy and LX were right at the front of the stage, and I think this really helped their performance. The Chems came on after about a 40 minute changeover and as expected the crowd went nuts dancing. Their set was about 90 minutes long and I observed from the upper story, thankful that I had seen the Orb up-close and the Chems from a distance :-) Their set was as expected, one continuom of loops and breaks, sounding like a DJ was just mixing their records. Maybe it was the lateness (or my own prejudices), but they didn't seem to hold the crowd's attention all through their set. At the end, they finished their last song and waived goodbye...no one really chanted for an encore like they did with the Orb though. I took a buddy along who is not into either of the bands and his unsolicited comments were interesting. He said the Orb's set didn't really make him want to dance, but that he found himself transported to another place with the music and was blown away by how time just flew by...a real euphoric kinda state. He later said "these Chemical brothers are good, but they don't have the creativity in the music to keep it interesting". Case Closed. Sorry for any typos or the rambling length, but I've not slept much this week. Take care all, Scott. # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: cdrich@juno.com (Richard J Bide) Subject: (orb) Orbscure Trax Date: 03 May 1997 21:09:53 -0400 Well, I'm glad to hear that so many of you are latching on to copies of Orbscure Trax. Am I the only one who has come up empty? I spent most of today combing the Detroit area, searching to no avail. The good CD stores shake their heads and say they came and went very quickly (to store employees, most likely). The less knowledgeable ones look at you like you are from another planet as you try to explain what you are looking for. The closest I came was one clerk proudly producing the "An Introduction to the Orb" promo. I must have looked disappointed, because she gave me both of her copies. Anybody wanna trade? - Rich Also, I will be in the Chicago area next week. From the recent concert reviews, there are a few list members that hail from the Windy City. Any suggestions about good CD shops for those hard-to-finds would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

(never saw one of his sets). I don't really know his music, except Rex Attitude (in The serious road trip), but AFAIK, it's not really impressive. He's got a label called F Communications. In my opinion, Djs have the complex of creativity. They want, at one moment, to do music rather than mix it. A Laboratoire Mix (2CD) is available with his favorite tunes. And he did an album called "30" (his age) recently, which had good reviews.

(a map of Oakland would've done me a lot of good...) let me preface this all by saying the orb live is the orb live, and i'd go hear them under any circumstances, even the not-so-good ones i saw them under last night. i mean, live orb in poor conditions is better than no orb at all, right? so we get there in time for the doors to open at 8pm, only to find they've opened earlier, and i walked in just as the Orb was starting... yes, they played at 8pm!!! it wasn't even dark yet, and the ambient light from outside was shining through... a bit disconcerting, as chad, seofon and i stood arond in our confusion thinking "this can't be them ALREADY!!!" but indeed it was. the pyramid structure was way cool, the videos were kickin (IMHO) and the lighting was superb... there must've been some serious tech rehearsal to get things THAT synched up. the set list was exactly as everyone has posted, and i can't remember the specific order, but Outlands was INCREDIBLE, Majestic blew me away, and contrary to other reports i've heard, i really enjoyed SALT. personally, i didn't dig the version of Delta MK II for reasons i probably couldn't communicate effectively at this point.. pity, as it's my favourite off the album. they ended with LFC (of course)... no encore, and then the set was totally stripped during this weird set by Robbie Hardkiss. total playing time: 1 hour 40 minutes if my calculations are correct. the crowd was surprisingly amiable... no meat-head chem worshippers that i saw, although in a stadium of about 6000, it's kinda hard to tell. actually, i saw a lot of people jetting when the orb finished. i'm assuming LX and Lewis spun prior to 8 (if at all), since i sure didn't see them... chems seemed to drone on for longer... they started powerful, but it got old after a while, and nothing seems as full and rich as the Orb's sound... they're a hard act to follow, and everything just seemed empty after that beautiful set. the Chems had a lot of kickin video as well, but the lights certainly weren't as good, and they didn't play any of the songs with that lovely woman's voice (i forget her name at the moment)... i'm thinking the venue may've been assholes, as the chems also finished without an encore, and they basically ripped down the stage and turned the lights on at midnight (yes, MIDNIGHT!!) for only being 4 hours long, it was a power-packed gig. i deifnitely had an excellent time. this, however, was the worst of 4 different tours i've seen, and i only hope that's because of the venue, not the Orb themselves. like i said, live Orb in mediocre places is infinitely better than no Orb at all... i know this comes off as negative, and yes, i'm a bit disappointed, as i've seen better (and i'm grumpy cause i'm at work now) but when i say Outlands blew me away, well, i was practically losing my mind, and as tired as i think LFC is, it was still amazing... the orb live is a treat, and i'd highly recommend them under any conditions.... and i spoke to Irvine Welsch on Sat who said he'd be attending... anyone see him? =) time to rejuvenate my legs.... it was some SERIOUS boogying! good luck and happy ventures for those going to future dates! =) rachel # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Christopher William Niemitz Subject: (orb) sf show, remixes....

Cd single which has the two Orbital mixes and the Aubrey mix? I've found several versions of the CD single on the Web, but there is no track information and I've had NO response from any of the stores I've contacted. The stores have them listed as: "Huge Ever......Part 1" and "Huge Ever....Part 2". Not very informative. Has anyone else encountered this problem, with stores not responding to E-mail about their products? All of the stores I've E-mailed have "E-mail us if you have any questions about artists, titles, or tracks"on their web pages, yet they never respond. Not a grand way to get business.

Date: 05 May 1997 21:02:32 -0700 (PDT) i was also a bit bummed about the show. i was still hunting for a parking spot @ 8 pm & was surprised to find out that the show was well under way by the time i got in... they also didn't seem to use many samples this time around, maybe because it was a shorter set overall. i heard Paris, Texas; La Wally; Natacha Atlas; and what sounded like Led Zeppelin's "Whole lotta love" played on kazoos. Wanted to hear that "These are a few of my favorite things" w/ S&M lyrics, but no such luck. I also thought it was interesting that they opened up little fluffy clouds w/ brief use of the sample but didn't use it once the track really got underway... the light show wasn't as impressive than the last time around, but perhaps that's because it was geared to smaller venues. I thought the sound system was excellent though. the chemical brothers were a boring following-up. no samples, not much variation on a theme, but the largely under 30 crowd that stayed to watch them were all raising their hands in the air and screaming as if it were Aerosmith or Van Halen..... Orb remixes: the NIN remix is 6 minutes. a bit strange beat-wise & much different than the orb's other remixes (Andy & not Alex was listed as the mix engineer), i was hoping for some wigged out drug reference samples on this one, instead they do a little manipulation of Trent Reznor's voice. not really danceable, not really dub,breakbeat or d&b....hard to describe. the MBM remix is quite nice. Also falls through the cracks of categorization, however, it uses a very nice melody over top & seems a bit more ambient.....anyway, both should be out on CD in the US soon. # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: andy@pythagoras.org (Andrew Nourse) Subject: Re: (orb) Huge Ever....Cd single Date: 05 May 1997 22:58:17 -0700 At 08:59 PM 5/5/97 -0400, BluRoom@aol.com wrote: >Hiya, >Does anyone know where I might be able to get a copy of the "Huge Ever..."

I never got around to contacting the other Bay Area Orbheads. I guess next time! I was the guy in the Orbus Terrarum shirt if you noticed. =) I'd never been in the Kaiser arena before. What is this, like a basketball court or something? Me and my non-techno friend (aka, my ride there) went up to the seats at first, but I made the good decision to go down to the floor. Anyway, I went to see the Orb at the Warfield about four years ago and the setup was _way_ better. Although, running around the smoke filled corridors with Delta MKII in the background was kind of cool, and there was one spot in those halls with pretty good acoustics... > so we get there in time for the doors to open at 8pm, only to find they've > opened earlier, and i walked in just as the Orb was starting... yes, they > played at 8pm!!! Yeah, I got there around 8:20. That'll show me. Anyway, my thoughts FWIW: Majestic was really great, first of all. I thought the video for SALT was good too, good enough to make a video if not for all the copyrighted logos... And, the lights for Toxygene were top notch. I also got a kick out of, well I know it as the beginning of "Orb vs. Coldcut" the thing with the rooster and opera. Though I felt like I was the only one who wasn't thinking 'what the hell's going on?' at that point. And, I like hearing the "guy clearing his throat" over the big sound system. Yes, I enjoyed all the actual songs too, of course. The sound wasn't too great, mainly I would have sacrificed a little of the volume for more clarity; or maybe I was just too close to the stage! I think the Chems songs were hurt a little more by the lack of clarity than the Orb's, I don't remember too well but their songs kind of pounded together, and that long spoken sample at the beginning was just a bunch of moosh to me. Oh yeah, and can't forget about that sound at the beginning that drilled a hole through my eardrum either. My friend and I thought the Chems were a little too boring (and he had a class the next day - in San Luis Obispo!) so we ducked out about 3-4 songs into their set. Still a pretty good day. Oh, and I thought the end of the Hardkiss set was pretty good too, they had that ceiling light/strobe (that wasn't part of the Orb's setup) which covered a lot more of the audience than the up-front lights. As for the Chems' lighting, well, you like strobe light? =) I remember someone else saying there was a lot of Orb merchandise at one of the other shows. Here, only 6 different shirts (I got the cool one), the Chems had their six shirts, plus stickers ($4!) knit caps and lighters (!). Plus, staff was giving out concert posters on the way out! My conversation with the first guy - "can I have another one for my friend?" "NO" My conversation with the second guy - "can I have another..." "Take two, take three!" OK. That reminds me, I asked the guy at Mod Lang if they had any more of those cool Orblivion stickers and he gave me about 15! Geez, OK, if they're free... =) BTW, I did ask the clerk and he thought they might have some more of the Orbscure Trax, might not. If anyone's still looking and wants one I can get it for cost of Orblivion - amount Rasputin's buys it back for = $8. See, you knew there was some reason you read this far... Though, the guy wasn't sure if they had 'em or not. If anyone e-mails me I'll find out. Plus you get an Orblivion sticker. FINALLY (I really didn't intend to write this much) there was an article about the show in the Oakland Tribune. Fooey on them! I'll type up the interesting parts... -- REVENGE OF THE TECHNO NERDS Chemical Brothers give techno pop the human touch By William Friar ... But Sunday night, the Brothers stuck close to their techno roots. In doing so, they proved they can do a tremendous amount with little more than drum and bass effects. They kept the music from growing monotonous by constantly shifting the tempo and rhythms. ... Orb less engaging the Orb, which opened the evening, also kept the crowd dancing, but it did so with ambient music that, while intense and deafening, was less engaging than what the Chemical Brothers had to offer. There was a cerebral quality to their music that made it ultimately kind of tedious. While all electronic music is constructed, this _felt_ constructed. Founder Alex Paterson and his current cast of helpers delighted in pulling all sorts of goodies from their bag of sonic tricks: harpsichords, tribal drums, bloops, bleeps, an opera aria, Bugs Bunny, even a snippet that suggested a kazoo orchestra doing Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love." Many of these aural excursions betrayed a sense of humor, especially "S.A.L.T.," which is little more than a preacher's rant about how the bar codes on consumer products prove the Apocalypse is nigh. It helped that the Orb didn't seem to take themselves too seriously. But not enough. --- Oh, BTW, I still have those Orb flyer scans up at my homepage.

Killer set, killer visuals, but *way* too short. Weak ass DJ, and on to the Chemical Bros. I wish someone would outlaw those mega bright flashing light setups. They make my eyes tired and I just want to go to bed. The Chemical Bros. set didn't help any either. Breakbeat industrial, breakbeat rock, lame visuals, posing "musicians" -- rock out man!!!

I have consistently been underwhelmed with their stuff, no matter what psuedonym it comes out under. And 8 mixes of Acid Funk is about 7 too many (there's one OK mix). -- Eric Pederson AirTouch Communications eric.pederson@airtouch.com 510-279-6185 # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Thomas O.

Sean send me the Orbscure tracks that I received yesterday, listened to it and I love that Sheiks Film Mix from Bedouin and the Bandulu remix from Occidental. The FAX CD is on his way to your home, Sean. Thanks again! And our French connection Jean send me the French release for Toxygene. No other mixes or anything but just a different sleeve and that's fine for the collection. Received this one also yesterday. Thanks Jean and I'm working on the live tapes!

Sorry I didn't include that part with the original posting - my session quit on me when I was halfway through writing the message, and when I resumed it, I forgot to include my wantlist before sending it. My wantlist IS at the end of THIS message :) 2 - What are the prices/what is everything worth? Make me an offer of what it's worth to you in either cash of trade. I will weigh trade offers against each other and against cash offers, and for each item, I will take the offer that most fits what I want. That said, here are some guidelines for some of the items: Little Fluffy Clouds single - I have a LARGE cash offer, I'm interested in knowing what people would like to trade for this. Introduction to Orb promo - $10 would be the minimum I'd accept, but I already have some offers for more than that, so trades would be the key. Orbus Terrarum in special packaging, Assassin UK Promo: I definitely won't take offers of less than $15 for each of these, but I was hoping for trades... Oxbow Lakes UK CD5 - $8 or trade Front 242 - Rhythm of Time CD5 with Orb remix - $5 or trade 3 - What KLF stuff do I have for trade/sale? Lots of people wanted to know, so here it is: Shag Times (JAMS CD3) 1987 (B&M1 CD version) 3AM Eternal (INT 825.797 - German CD5, same music as UK version) Justified and Ancient - US promo CD5 - tracks are same as regular release Here's my wantlist: Orb: Aubrey Mixes: The Ultraworld Excursions - any CD version Patterns and Textures video with free CD Boot CDs I don't have yet (I have Cyberworld, Icons, Anthology 2, OOBE) KLF: 1987 - the UK boot CD version Space - any CD version Ultra Rare Trax - the CD Last Train to Trancentral - any and all CD5s Future Sound of London: Any CDs done under wierd names (other than Amorphous Androgynous: Tales of Ephidrina) Orbital: A UK CD of their first album The Peel Sessions CD or the 2nd album/Peel Session double pack Underworld: Dark Long - any CD5s Compilations: Eternity Project 1 CD Trance Europe Express 5 That's all I can think of now, but I may have missed something... -Gregor Menasian # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "teiwaz barana" Subject: (orb) oaktown357 orb /bros.chemical Date: 07 May 1997 17:30:22 PDT orbies dunno. seems to me the orb keep getting better or is that bigger? anyway the tickets said 8pm and if it ain't worth gettin' there 15 minutes early, why bother? Hope you didn't think they'd hit the stage at midnight--this ain't the Warfield. My friends (the ones that actually made it) and I got there at 6pm--doors opened at 6:30 and after a little chaos about will-call we found ourselves inside. Guess it was Scott Gavin Djing before the orb--if that quasi band 'tween orb and Bros. Chemical was R.Hardkiss & Co. Venue problems--dead soda machine, crappy ventilation--can you say steam bath? Parking--enough for 100 vehicles, but I must admit parking was cheap--$3/carload. Or you could take your chances around Lake Merritt--a not too friendly place. Looks better than SF's Market street--though. Product--what's with the puny T-shirts? I doubt LX (where's the XL?) could fit in those. Maybe he could fit in one from the bros. chemical. Anyone buy a $6 chemicals' lighter? The orb set was pretty much as published, no big surprises. Kept looking for the ambient in the ORB--guess they bowed to the chemicals crowd instead. Highlight for me--the Arabic samples from Bedouin and the motorcycle samples. Didn't know what to expect from the bros. chemical. Mostly got volume and block rockin' beats. They fluctuated the volume so they could keep dropping in those big beats. Highlight for me was the repeated LSD sample--not sure exactly what it said and the chemicals track--a private psychedelic reel--with its hieroglyph visuals trance-forming into playing card royalty--kings and then into jesters--finally ending with a Love iS all you neeD slide. The crowd seemed a little dead during the first fifteen minutes of the orb, but from then on it was dance dance dance--guess the bros. chemical fans wanted to be impressed first. Whatever happened to smart drinks? Guess you don't need'em when it's only a four hour show, but hey, I'd go again in a New York minute. --teiwaz (still recovering) Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mike195892@aol.com Subject: (orb) Lucky Saddle in the sets?

Never heard their albums, although some critics recommend the album "Tago Mago" (which contains the original hallelujah) as one out of 100 cosmic records.

I hope this helps. I had said that I would post a review of the Orb show in Denver. However, I was far too blown away by the show. OUTLANDS completely blew my mind. I did miss not hearing the "You're the best boyfriend...a girl could possibly have..." bit. Majestic was awesome! And the video during Valley was way too intense. They only played for about two hours. For their encore, it was Little Fluffy Clouds. However, and I don't know if this happened anywhere else, but they began their encore with about five minutes of *Pulsating Brain*. That blended into LFC, and then blended back into the end part of *Pulsating* It was wonderful. I thought they were going to play all of *Pulsating Brain*, but no...It was still nice to hear even just a little of it though. Unfortunately my roommate had a final exam the next morning, so I didn't stick around to try talk to the lads. Loads of fun, though. Did anyone stick around for the DJ afterwards? Please tell me Orb didn't come back to play more. I hope everyone had as much fun as I!!!

FUCKING AMAZING! they had some local dj i believe playing from around 8 to maybe 9:30 (?), then 'we' played for about 90 minutes (it seemed like forever).. they were utterly crap, i dunno WHAT that stuff is supposed to be but the bass was so loud you couldnt hear much of anything, and the beats were nothing impressive.. dj lewis keogh came on around 11 and played an absolutely INCREDIBLE set.. the crowd was really going nuts, that guy has to be one of the best dj's in the world (underrated too, you dont hear people talk about him much).. after about an hour i believe, maybe a bit less, andy and lx came on .. i'm guessing around 12.. to BIG time cheers.. it was great knowing there weren't going to be people sitting there looking bored and smoking waiting for the chem bros or something.. everyone was there to see who they SHOULD be there to see.. i was too engrossed in the whole thing to write down a tracklist but what i remember went something like this (in no particular order): ubiquity plateau delta mkii asylum blue room majestic s.a.l.t toxygene outlands valley (i do believe i heard it in there) a huge evergrowing pulsating... (they played a few minutes of it) spanish castles in space (with a perfect bit of percussion over it) and little fluffy clouds for an encore.. the crowd wanted a second one they clapped and screamed for about 1.5-2 minutes but they never came out again.. then dj lewis spun the crowd out.. several hundred people didn't even think about leaving till he was done with the end-set.. maybe 30-40 minutes.. he's just amazing the visuals were stunning, as i had expected.. i was practically crying when blue room started because the visuals mixed so well with the song (which is my favorite of theirs).. they played some interlude bits too, some were silly, some were damn cool (i dont know if they were unreleased tracks or alex just put someone else's record on while they set up).. alex was having a lot of fun, he could tell the crowd was into it.. and andy was just going nuts, headbanging the whole time.. they had the crowd wrapped around their finger.. they never let anything go on too long, they set up incredible builds, dropped the hard beats exactly when the crowd needed them, gave people some chance to rest (plateau spent about 10 minutes building up an amazing groove and then they threw a new beat on top of it that meshed perfectly), overall they were just great showmen.. showed great creativity and they really gave the crowd something to remember. all in all, one of the best shows i've ever seen..

Date: 11 May 1997 00:16:32 -0700 (PDT) Heya Gang, I *finally* got off my rump and picked up Orblivion. I also saw the Auntie Aubrey Excursions discs so I picked that up as well. I'm listening to the Orblivion stuff right now and I must say that I really like their back-to-dub sounds. I bought Toxygene Part 2 a few weeks back and really love it -- I hope the disc stays this dubby. On the other hand, I really wish they continuously mixed this like they did for UF Orb and Ultraworld. I think it really adds a lot to the CD and allows it to be treated either as several discrete works or as one large collective. I remember reading and interview with Alex recently (I think it was from something someone posted here) about how The Orb really stared as a DJ project and how he thinks of it as a continuing DJ project. With that in mind, I would imagine they'd like to keep it continuously mixed. Anyone know why Alex chose to make each track independant? Otherwise, it sounds great so far.

Not bad - set in a cartoony city, with lots of USSR influences (propaganda posters which then animate) and lots of Russian soldiers marching along, together with Alex and Andy. Later on in the video, quite a few of the soldiers (and Alex and Andy) are then loaded into these canons, which are then fired, and then you see Alex, Andy and quite a few of the soldiers flying through the air over the city! Quite a strange video, all in all - not quite sure of where the USSR influences come from, but enternaining nonetheless. Asylum is released tomorrow, BTW. Nick King ;-) P.S. The 'Little Fluffy Clouds' video is also on a charity compilation video 'Crisis, What Crisis', which also features The Shamen's 'Move Any Mountain', Erasure's 'Lay All Your Love On Me', Oceanic and Gary Clail.

Date: 11 May 1997 15:49:56 -0500 Hey all, The Orb were excellent last night, but their set was too short -- just under two hours. The feel of the show was very different from the last tour. A friend of mine & I both missed the added bass player (Simon Philips) & drummer (Nick Burton) from the previous tour. Still, it was a great show, and the sound (esp. the bass) at the 9:30 Club was unbelievable. Last night's set was more abstract, experimental dub/ambient techno, with a little less of the "dance party" atmosphere of the last tour (I caught them at Masquerade in Atlanta for that one). "Plateau," "Blue Room," and "Delta Mk II" were my favorite tracks this time -- brilliantly mixed, and very powerful. Also, the visuals for some of the tracks were pretty wicked. I only wished they'd played "A Huge Ever Growing Beat Driven Fucking Brain," as someone on the Orb list dubbed that track from their 1995 set. ;-) Anyway, kudos to the band for making the rounds in the U.S. again....

OK, I've seen Patterns and Textures and Blue Room, but I didn't know there was one for Perpetual Dawn! Anyway, a video I wish AMP would show (so I could get it on tape) is Pomme Fritz. I saw it on a display at a local music store when the mini-album came out. It starts with some guy in a black room spinning spheres around on his hand and arm. Then, it shows the spheres floating down the streets in England (I think, my memory's a little fuzzy). Like the album, it has a kind of "what is this?" quality to it. = I like the Toxygene video, it's kind of zany. Like, what are all these people doing, shooting bubbles with crossbows and being intimidated by tuning forks? By the way, is that green stretchy-face at the end part of the video, or just something AMP added both times they showed it? - Bobby # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ethan Subject: (orb) re: orb on tour Date: 12 May 1997 01:35:38 -0400 (EDT) got back this morning from a lightning trip to NYC and DC for their respective orb shows. I also saw them in atlanta last month, and in NYC two years ago on the happy happy joy joy tour. I'm curious as to why they played the exact same set each night on this tour - I imagine it has to do with the linear nature of an ADAT, but it was pretty fucking disappointing nonetheless. some of the samples were different, or used in different places, and of course the mix was different each time, but I still expected more differentiation between shows. DJ Lewis was totally boring all three times also - I dunno what people see/hear in him. Maybe it's just my aversion to anything that house-flavored. I'd like to see them support some more interesting DJ acts - there are certainly plenty out there. The opening acts in NYC this year, upstairs and down, blew DJ Lewis off his 1200s. We (the group) did some excellent slow dubby stuff. They have a CD out on Asphodel if anyone is interested. The video during We was also much better than most of the boring psychedelic orb video too. Too much of their stuff looked like some kids turned loose on a digital editor for the first time - some cool source material but far too many prefab transitions and effects. Has the orb passed their prime? Will they ever play til dawn again? do they give a shit? I doubt it. Anybody have any idea how many copies Orblivion has sold? It's been in the CMJ top 20, at least. on the deck: Return of the DJ v.2 (Bomb) Ethan eclauset@webslingerz.com # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: u9602145@bournemouth.ac.uk (Matthew Anniss) Subject: (orb) Asylum hits the shelves (UK) Date: 12 May 1997 10:17:22 +0100 So, you may already have all this info, but (just in case) here it is..the tracklisting and formats etc for Asylum, released today (Monday 12th) in the UK.

I think I fell asleep after Passing of time - but the secret drum and bass track woke me up! Anyway, it was a brilliant experience. The next day I played some tracks on my show and blew everyone else away! Have Fun Matt. Oh, has anyone heard the new Primal Scream single, Kowalski?

Date: 11 May 1997 20:17:31 PST ready fellas... here we go.... me, my friend, and my mom and my dad (yeah.. that's right... my mom and my dad) headed out to washington dc on friday after school, after me and my friend skipped the last three periods of the day to chill in the park and celebrate the fact that we WERE GOING TO AN ORB CONCERT (neither of us had ever been to one before!) -- just so ya know, i am in 10th grade and my friend is in 9th, so we couldn't exactly make the road trip ourselves, and orb wasn't coming to pittsburgh. well, after spending a rather unenjoyable day looking around art museums with my mom (it would have been enjoyable, but it was hard to concentrate on anything other than the fact that we would be seeing the orb live in concert in 12 hours... 11 hours.. etc.). finally my dad dropped us off @ the 9:30 club @ about 9:00 and dj lx was spinning. oh yeah.. i was the guy wearin' the red shirt with the blue 'e' on it (until i had a rather nasty run-in with a bouncer and changed my shirt to the orblivion one that i bought). damn! last time i heard him spin (with meat beat) his mixing was on, but his records were bullshit. this time, his mixing was on and his records were chronic! needless to say, it was quite fun dancin' around like fools (even though my mom was checkin' us out from the balcony). the next dj (josh) started out with some clubby classic and it just went downhill from there... fucking terrible! after him, dj lewis came on. i'd never heard him before, but his mixing was A+ and the music seemed like a very stripped down version of orb, that was easy to dance to. anyways, sometime during the concert, some guy (you know who you are, but i forget your name!) sold me an orbscure trax cd (thank you thank you thank you thank you). ...and now for the orb (which my mom really enjoyed!) they started off with some kinda messed up version of secrets which was very good, but quite altered. the visuals for a lot of the concert sucked (in my opinion). i just couldn't chill with the girl with the bellows up her butt pulsating around, man -- that as cheesy. all of the pictures that did that sasme effect were pretty boring.... [the rest of this is gonna be big-time out of order because my brain was melting] then on to blue room. it was the best blue room i've ever heard on a live recording. just imagine it as good as it could possibly be live... (nice melting underwater shots) i think in here, they played a 30 second version of what seemed to be tong poo. neato. next came... uh.. um... asylum. it was really long, and it got the crowd movin' - no complaints here. it was quite different from the album version. people were havin' quite a party, to say the least. somewhere around here came outlands - also fucking great! the orb is doing such a good job reworking their old songs, it ain't even funny. (this was one of the only visual projections that i really liked) and then on to plateau -- man... this one was different! it hardly resembled plateau at all... my friend thought it was a new song altogether! it was ambient, but very intense... the complete opposite of the album version which is total bliss. delta mkII also brought the house down. the projection were cool. scary lookin' black and white face, which fit in nicely with the voice samples about communism. nice morphing, too! the one thing that i wasn't happy about was that the junglish jam was only about 15 seconds long. i was really getting into it... trying to catch every little beat with different movements of my body and really lovin it, and then (BAM!) it stopped! >>>>>>>>>>ALEX&ANDY, please read this!<<<<<<<<<< all 3 of us know how good jungle is, so why not stretch that out a little, you know? like a 1 1/2 - 2 minute jungle jam to really get the crowd movin! >>>>>>>>>>Thanks for your time<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< majestic was the shit. pumpin' house that also got the crowd movin! (yoyoyo! that was me blowin' my whistle right before the bass drop!) bedouin sonded like lx played a sample on his turntable, and then andy hit play on a cd player, cause the version was exactly the same. nevertheless, the crowd was entranced. s.a.l.t was fun as hell. it was pretty similar to the album version, too. it was really funny to see the crowd react to the song. there was some funny-as-hell asian guy with ling hair behind me who was REALLY enjoying it. he had a huge smile on his face (i mean huge) and he was sweating from moving to the music so much, and he looked like he thought that he was becoming one with the music. every time the guy on salt said "fact", this guy got even more excited and shut his eyes, and he just had this look like he was thinking to himself (with a huge dose of enthusiam) "it's a FACT!!!!!" hehehehehe... if you know what i mean, you know what i mean -- if you don't you dont. _____ during the whole song, in the back of my mind, i was thinking "this is making SOMEONE in this concert flip out on acid". ------------well, the visual projections were great! barcodes and product flashing at the speed of light, and a "this is your god" sign on a piece of pizza and a can of coke.... you figure it out! i think 9/10 people bought into the whole conspiricy thing during the song (well done, alex & andy :) what else?... um - ur - um -- i know there was more. shit. oh yeah!! toxygene! that was earlier in the show, but i told you it would all be out of order. it was good, also got the crowd movin' once again. unfortunetly, there wasn't enough (IMO) of that high-scottish-sounding-melody part that is so prevalent on the cd. anyways, it was still the shit! ...orb leaves... comes back... *a few of my favorite things* hehehehee - then about 30 seconds - 1 minute of hugeevergrowing and the sample of layering different sounds on top of each other. that's when the true orb-heads knew what was us. little fluffy clouds was approaching. it was fucking mind blowing. just incredible. i dont know how else to say it. after they were finished, people clapped and went wild trying to get them back on, but they didn't come back. i really wished that i could have gotten on the loudspeaker and started pleading "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! PLEASE COME BACK AND PLAY PASSING OF TIME!!!!" - but no such luck... i decided to blow my whistle instead :) dj lewis came on after and tore it up with some nice technoey-hardcore-rave-hardtrance that got all the ravers in the place movin' (though i really could have gone for some jungle at the point). at 2:00, i grabbed my shirt, sweatshirt, poster, cd, mom, and friend and we took a cab back to the people's house where we were staying. the cab ride with my mom was a little shaky, but we kept it under control (if you know what i mean) -- it just aint easy, to talk to your mom after an orb concert. it took some serious effort to keep out emotions from going overboard. at 3:30 i went to bed, slipped on my headphones and listened to all of orbscure trax before i went to bed. damn. that is one good cd!!!!!! thanks again, internet guy! toxygene was great, because i love ganja kru, and the remix is the shit! molten love, plateau, and bedouin the shieks had me somewhere out in the 4th or 5th dimension. shouts out to the following people: 1) the afformentioned asian-guy with the long hair 2) the fat guy crew (especially the one with glow-juice all over him... me: does that shit come off your clothes? him: I DONT CAARE! 3) the guy with the glasses and the orbvs shirt who was flippin' out and pressing his face. 4) the guy that sold me the cd, and his crew. 5) the orb! that's it! i'll be recovering for the next week.

What about the Blue Danube Orbital mix of the KLF's 3 a.m. Eternal from 1989? It's serious listening all right, and I chill to it all the time. I love the early, KLF-sounding Loving You mixes, too. KISS is nothing horrible, but it is admittedly a strange debut under the Orb name... So what I want to know is... what's the -strategy- of Orbscure Trax? I had thought, until this morning, that the CD was actually named "Orbscure" and that the name "Orbscure Trax" was jokingly used by the list as a way to link it with the hard-to-find Orb Ultra Rare Trax bootleg. But after the UPS lady rung my doorbell, there it was... Orbscure Trax. It's a great CD: I like Andy's mix of Oxbow Lakes a lot. But why is Island distributing it in the bizarre way that they are? (some areas seem to have a surplus of freebies, other areas don't see it at all). The title has -got- to be a nod to the bootleg series... but then why would they release a "bootleg killer" like Orbscure and then make it strangely hard to get? Is Orbscure going to be ultra-rare, or are they going to continue to make copies, eventually packaging it with Orblivion like the Mercury did the 2CD u.f.orb? Strange, strange promotion. I'm just glad I got my copy.

Although there aren't long nicely mixed transitions, there isn't much in the line of breaks between the tracks which makes it work nicely as a set. This actually got me curious about their bass lines. Alex has said that it started as a DJ project. Watching them on stage, you see that the beats are coming from a pair of records and someone's trusty 1200's. Are the beats on the album The Orb's own creation or were they just sample happy? -Steve -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Steve Shah (sshah@cs.ucr.edu) | SysAdmin/Coder/Gabbernaut/DJ/Writer/Minister http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~sshah | Always remember, it's a great big disco world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I feel...

Not bad - set in a cartoony city, with lots of USSR influences (propaganda posters which then animate) and lots of Russian soldiers marching along, together with Alex and Andy. Later on in the video, quite a few of the soldiers (and Alex and Andy) are then loaded into these canons, which are then fired, and then you see Alex, Andy and quite a few of the soldiers flying through the air over the city! Quite a strange video, all in all - not quite sure of where the USSR influences come from, but enternaining nonetheless. Asylum is released tomorrow, BTW. Nick King ;-) P.S. The 'Little Fluffy Clouds' video is also on a charity compilation video 'Crisis, What Crisis', which also features The Shamen's 'Move Any Mountain', Erasure's 'Lay All Your Love On Me', Oceanic and Gary Clail.

It was good, but less than I expected. They played way too much new stuff, and left out my favorite songs. Blue Room and Outlands were incredibe, I was dissapointed about how some people were completely uninterested in most songs, but when Toxygene came on they got enthusiastic. I don't know about everyone else (this is my second day on this list), but I think Orblivion is my least favorite album. I wish the orb would go back to their roots and make more music that would be on the Adventures album. I found the Peel Sessions vol. 3 and 4 at a local record shop, and I love it. Anyway, the video for blue room blew me away, also the one with the faces. The set was much too short, but if I get the opportunity to see them again I definately will not pass it up. -Pete # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ryan Platte Subject: Re: (orb) re: orb on tour Date: 12 May 1997 20:06:24 -0500 >We (the group) did some excellent slow dubby stuff. >They have a CD out on Asphodel if anyone is interested. they're also on the Axiom Dub compilation, right after the Orb. their track is called 'illbient'. by the way is their other stuff similarly flavored, or was this track just an excursion into illbience? i do like it quite a bit. ryan # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ALLENST@aol.com Subject: (orb) Re: Orb on Tour Date: 12 May 1997 22:07:46 -0400 (EDT) Hello All from a confessed techno gear geek, From Ethan > I'm curious as to why they played the exact same set each night on this tour > I imagine it has to do with the linear nature of an ADAT, and Rachel > more likely having to do with the painfully synched lights and videos... if > they're working off one video tape (and they did say in many an interview > that this was a stripped down tour, with as little as possible coming > along) and to get the proper video with the proper song, you'd have to do > the same set... the lighting was also spot on as far as i could tell, which > would reinforce the necessity for the same set list every night... I've seen three shows this tour and it appears that some (all ??) of the graphics portions are computer driven rather than off a video tape, so there could be some variation between shows (mainly in the length rather than the content). I got fairly close views of the stage at Phoenix and Vegas and the morphing/rotating images were appearing on the computer monitor behind Alex. He also had a controller that he would adjust as he watched the screens...it appeared he had some control of at least the computer controlled graphics (maybe rotation speed or bellows intensity :-). As far as the lighting and overall graphics/set list, I'd agree with Rachel and say they're pretty limited to using a prearranged setup with their stripped down tour. and Steve > This actually got me curious about their bass lines.

Watching them on stage, you see that > the beats are coming from a pair of records and someone's trusty 1200's. > Are the beats on the album The Orb's own creation or were they just > sample happy? The only instance I saw of using the record as the main bassline/beat was the song (don't remenber) where Alex was mixing in a record with a ching, ching sleigh ride bell sound ...kinda Christmasy (the kind around a Rudolph's neck).... kinda American Indian.... you know what I mean. At the end, Andy dropped the ADAT and LX kept the record going seamlessly mixed. Sounded great and they did this at all three shows I saw. Other than this, I think LX used the decks just for playing snips or loading the sampler. He did use the mini-DAT for Bedouin and a CD for SALT. Now that this tour is winding down, any news of their guesting on the compliation summer tours here in the US ... Lola/Technopalooza, Organic, etc ??

The first stop was the trendy, upstart Hoboken, NJ, where we sampled the atmosphere and grabbed a train to the heart of Uptown. Drifting off the tube, we descended onto 33rd and fused with the metropolis. The city was alive and teaming with energy. We stopped off in an Irish pub to sample some Guiness and catch the opening quarter of the Knicks game. We ate a hot meal, served with a smile and everything was at peace. Floating back onto the streets, I couldn't help but feel hopelessly dwarfed by the architecture that encased us on this island. Images of the Orblivion cover art jetted through my mind. We strolled down 7th in giddy anticipation, arms entwined and frantically trying to remember the laverne & shirley theme song lyrics. We were approaching near madness when the Manhattan Center jumped out. After a heavy frisking from a WWF wrestler, we were "in da joint". The Hammerstein Ballroom was breathtaking. The huge cathedral ceiling with the angels cried down to the masses below. You know you're in a classy place when there's a man in the bathroom handing out paper towels to you and a dixie cup of beer cost 5 bucks. I heard some Vangelis "Blade Runner" music and lo' and behold the dr. was on stage, so I scurried over to the left end. It didn't take long to get into the beat and soon we were deep "In the jungle". Mad breakbeat, stop and go rhythms - LX was whipping the crowd into a frenzy. I think I caught him smiling more than twice, how refreshing. After LX bowed out to many cheers, the ambient noodlers 'We' were onstage. This is the part where many people were trying to figure out if this was the Orb or not. The music was more experimental dubby, definitely in the ambient vein and not very danceable. Most people zoned out to the plant life projection on the overhead screen. I started to wonder where all the people I had been dancing with went, so I foraged for nuts downstairs. And folks, can you imagine the smile on my face - as big as a schoolboy with a delicious chocolate ice cream cone on the first day of summer - when I descended into the depths? By the time my feet hit the second flight, I was teleported to party central. The place was teaming with young hip kids strutting their stuff to some fantastic breakbeat/jungle/ dnb. Glowsticks abounded, swimming in the rhythyms that just would not stop. Breakers where styling on the floor, and *everyone* was jumping, hooting and hollering. The DJ would momentarily pause the rhythyms, only to launch arsenal upon arsenal of morphing beats and snappy synth sounds. The heat was on full blast, burning a hole through our cores and fueling the fire. Word was out that DJ Lewis had started his set so we pounded out the last store of energy and made it back to the raised foyer that overlooked the stage. Some internal recalibration and several jugs of pricey water later, and it was time to descend on the floor. Our navigational adjustments lined us up down front and center. Again many people around us were wondering if this was the Orb. Their fears were quickly dissuaded when they were assured they had not been "Orb'ed yet". Tired feet and heavy smiles later confirmed their due happiness and respect for the experience. But now what of the Orb, you might say? Did they manage to convert even the most diligent skeptic? Could they possibly live up to the hype and expectation that had been placed on them by the thousands of trendy NYC'ers who had gathered? Nay one die hard oldie or fresh hip kid escaped mentally unscathed. They launched - no rocketed into Orblivion, as if they were single handedly trying to summon the apocalypse from its unborn future. To put it bluntly, friends, they completely and totally fucked up the face of the planet. From beat #1, Andy was fused with the mixing board - it was a knob twisters wet dream. His head was pounding - no banging, to the beat. Hair and all flying in a mad dance. And LX, with his goofy beach hat on, was snatching record after record from his pile, conjuring up the force like Master Yoda. It was total synergy, crowd and conjurers merged into one unified theory. The forces aligned, Einstein was reborn and hyperspace travel was finally enabled under the master plan. God removed the virutal reality helmet from his forehead, giggled, and we all plummeted into the Blue Room for the masterful chill session. When the visionary S.A.L.T. bled into a frantic Toxygene, there wasn't a single person left behind at the peak. We left indents on the concrete floors of the ballroom that will last forever. Rodgers and Hammerstein jotted a few notes down in the book of knowledge before the angels floated down from the ceiling and blew their trumpets. A few were carrying the blue sky and the white, fluffy clouds, so we could play in them as well. The encore lasted for an eternity plus one day. Laughter and smiles were written on every face. It was the most beautiful music to listen to. Absolutely everything was different than the London show - but we've grown accustomed to the ever changing nature of the Orb, no? No two sticks of this chewing gum are ever the same, and that's why we love 'em. Again they were blindingly brilliant and again we danced in unity. Time was irrelevant in the mother spaceship. But the earth watch recorded a 2 hour 10 minute show. When we landed back out on the streets, the steam poured out of the ballroom. The energy dispersed into tiny points of light that streamed down the streets in various directions - off to an after hours party to dance the morning away, to catch a train, a walk in the streets, a drive in the city that never sleeps - everywhere and anywhere in the ubiquitous nature of things. We of course, had other plans - for a mere 17 hours later the hustle and bustle of Washington D.C. and a date with destiny at the 9:30 Club was calling. It was time for yet another adventure beyond the huge ever growing ultraworld that never stops pulsating from the center of eternity. Now where did we leave the car again? part 2 laters, peace and smiles folks! !-) -s. # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DJ ANIMA Subject: Re: (orb) orb sites Date: 13 May 1997 10:40:14 -0600 Chris Basford wrote: > >thanks"!. > Here's a few : > http://holly.colostate.edu/~robinv/Chocolate/index.htm - Chocolate Hills > Of Bohol - Only problem with this is a 250k background image - Why? ===================================================================================== TEN THINGS TO DO WHILE YOU WAIT FOR 250K TO LOAD 10.

Date: 13 May 1997 12:27:40 -0500 The Asylum 2CD set arrived today in Milwaukee... anyone know what the russian writing on the box means? The only word I can make out of my limited Russky vocabulary is "Cosmos"... The 7" mix is cool: Asylum squeezed into a richer, denser mix, with extra keyboards on the top to make the track more commercially viable for those who can't stand a song without a melody line. I've only had the time to listen to CD1... Andy Weatherall's mix is a bit plain, but the Andrea Parker Bezirkskrankenhams mix is Asylum stripped down, smooth and orbient. I also picked up the CAN Sacrilege set today: the Halleluwa Orbus 2 Halleluwah mix is a rich, thick dub track in the vein of a slowed-down Toxygene. The System 7 track, Dirty Spoon, is kickass -- a manic drum n' bass delight. The other tracks, with other Orb/System 7 collaborators/remixers like Carl Craig, Kris Needs, Jah Wobble and A Guy Called Gerald, are good too: I was originally put off by the $30 price tag, but this is good stuff. Sheesh, the KISS EP reissue, Orbscure Trax, the Chicago show, the Asylum single, the CAN comp... all in the past 30 days.

Date: 14 May 1997 15:36:09 -0400 (EDT) OK. I was fortunate enough to see The Orb in concert @ the 9:30 Club in DC and despite the fact of reading all the reviews of previous shows and listening to their music for the past 5-6 years, I still had absolutely no idea as to what I should expect at the show. The show was good, but as most people pointed out, it was too short with too much DJ/house music beforehand for my taste. (obviously not by the Orb) Having several live bootlegs (Brixton Academy for instance) and having listened to them, my question is: Are the US shows different from the British Shows? Is the format non-US shows different, played with a different style and use different samples, etc... It seems to me that Americans views and ideals and interestes differ heavily in contrast to British/European (or the rest of the world for that fact) interests and more specifically musical tastes. Therefore as we have seen there are tons of 'cool' CDs/singles which only get released in the UK/Europe that the rest of us Americans have to fight and scratch for to get ahold of. That leads me to point out that (in my opinion) the general American public seems to be driven by what I call (though perhaps incorrectly) 'pop culture' insofar as that we tend to motivate towards what everyone else thinks is 'good', and tend to avoid things that are considered 'alternative', despite the fact that 'alternative music' is now booming because of its widespread acceptance. In watching commercials (car commercials, medicine commercials, and other on general TV/radio) the one highlining factor seems to be statements like"America's #1 selling, preferred more, 4 out of 5 [insert here] utilize..." and so on and so forth seem to be some of these items selling points or strengths. As a natural-born American, I'm VERY wary of anything that the general public accepts as a whole (e.g. the Ford Escort, pop/rap music, etc...) Therefore I also pose the question of: "Why must something be popular or #1." before we appreciate it? Are we too afraid to make a decision for ourselves and try something new and perhaps not as established? Things like "#1, best, preferred most" are really nothing but marketing ploys aimed at selling with most of the drive behind making a buck. Having worked in corporate America, I know what lengths a media (agency/department) will go to, to push an idea over on its 'public'. In having said all that, that's why I feel like so much really good music stays in Europe and never makes its way here without a heavy search and pricetag. Of course what I'm essentially saying really is: "If everyone liked this trance/ambient/electronic stuff as much as we did, we wouldn't have such a time trying to find it." Which, in itself, might be an attempt at trying to popularize UK/European electronic music in the US.

The sound system was setup for the Chem Bros and distorted all of the Orb's bass and definition. Most of the mixing involved adding a bit of echo or the occasional new sample. The lighting was very mionimal although there were really cool video backgrounds b(new orb video?) My highlight was getting to meet LX after the show and getting my Toxygene boxset signed. I gave him my demo tape and I am very interested to see if I get any feedback. The opening DJ was not very good but the second DJ played some nice hard drum n bass. I am not a fan of the Chem Bros. but I was impressed with teir show. The lights and sound worked well for them. I really miss the old Orb and I hope they will return someday with a live band again.

I won't say it was better or worse, just different. Most = of the concert was more boogie-oriented, even though 3/4 of the T.O. = crowd couldn't figure out how to dance to the Orb. They certainly didn't = have any trouble dancing to the somewhat simplistic (and placed after = the Orb, remarkably one-dimensional) music of the Chem Bros. I very much = like the C.B. set, worked like a good DJ, but it also made me feel I was = part of the herd. Not to mention feeling unnecessarily assulted by the = music and the strobes as time passed. Oddly enough, I found the Chem = Bros best during stripped down breaks in the track when you just hear = one or two of their excellent beats, something which I think they too = often cover with noise. I was also satisfied with the just short of 2 hours set. (for the = Trainspotters, yes, 1:55) And YES! we got to hear this Favorite Things = sample that everyone's talked about. Hilarious.

I'd like a nice private chill out party to the orb on the swiss alps, that'd be near heaven. from lx: "I got this amazing album, Teach Your Parrot How To Speak" when talking about record hunting. good article, skimmed it & haven't had time to read the rest. also picked up 3 copies of orbscure trax, don't like all the d&b of ganja kru toxygene but the rest is niiice. are the NIN & MBM singles w/ orb mixes out in the us yet in stores? Laz, nice work on the discog... late review of tampa: writing a good 2 wks after the fact, 18 apr 97, so things are blurry in my memory. my trip began in west palm, fl, as my roomate turtle & I drove down to davie (near ft laud), almost getting in a bad accident along the way, to meet up w/ mitch & another friend. the 3ish hr ride was unbearably long, mostly cos I hardly slept the night before & couldn't sleep in the car. we got to tampa/ybor around 10:45 & got a hotel room, then headed over to the masquerade (where they had played in 95) by 11:30 or so. I'd told my friend paul from gainesville that we'd be there by 9:30-10, he got there at EIGHT THIRTY by accident so he explored downtown. (pretty nice, it's blocked off & interesting. didn't get to see too much of it tho). paul had just paid $20 & gone in when we showed up, thinking we were early. stinks, cos I was on the guest +6 & photo pass (thanks to a generous guy & my job) which was originally trouble cos our party was 8 (but dwindled to 3 ppl cos of papers, exams, & intolerant gfs) so I only ended up getting 2 besides myself in for free. felt nice walking in w/ 2 blatant camera bags. grabbed 2 orblivion stickers, shirts & stuff were expensive ($20? at least) & didn't look too impressive, hopefully we can order stuff later for cheap cos I didn't get anything. some dj was on, I had heard that is was three & monk from rabbit in the moon (never saw a flyer tho) but who knows? were they any good? did I miss anything? the masquerade is a pretty nice club btw. 1st thing that I noticed was that there were OLDER men there. at least 10 in their 50s & 2 or 3 in sixties - I mean WHITE hair, pretty cool if you ask me, I hope I'll be enjoying stuff when I'm older. andy & lx came out shortly & situated themselves under the pyramid. there was a third guy w/ mullet & thin dry damaged looking dreads, guess it was some tech or roadie cos all the pics I've seen of Tom Fehlmann are bald...they played basically the same songs people have been listing (this was the 1st day of the american tour, they had just flown in to nyc to do press (new AP?) then to down here), mostly orblivion stuff, blue room fading into a quick loving u, majestic, outlands, plateau, star 6&789 (maybe?) (the older songs were done in a more fractured beat adhd orblivion style, but not as straight out dancy as before) & 2-3 disco-y songs got thrown on (more like long samples) which weren't too clear cept for one that I think was saying "yankee love," anyone know what this was? pretty funny. andy was wicked rowt, banging up & down, almost making me unashamed to have 80s metal hair. he was pretty into it, lx was too but not as much (wearing one of his tm hats as usual). played for a bit under 2 hrs, finished a little after 2am. the crowd was quite into it, unfortunately moreso during toxygene as expected. didn't quite have the vibe that the show 2 yrs ago had which was amazing & one of the nicer nights of my life. strangely enough, earlier on in the day I had been thinking "little fluffy clouds...too cliched" & I was really surprised that they did NOT come back out for an encore at the end. nothing. we waited for awhile. I mean, I wanted to hear it, lfc is better than no lfc any day, who cares! o well. no "a few of my favorite things" sample either. had an awesome time, but not as great as the legacy of 2 yrs ago which I guess wins cos of nostalgia. kinda glad the chem bros weren't there. not that I don't like em, they're fun, but it would be better for a separate night. barely slept 2 hrs at the hotel cos of running water & snoring. next day was fun tho cos we went to st pete & saw the dali museum which is, well, if you like dali, you can't beat it. the ride back was again, very boring & was totally drained when I got home sat night. pics at http://palmnet.pbac.edu/users/bryanal/orb.htm & orb002.htm only a few, my other camera is lent out & I'll be roadtripping to maine for 2 wks so those won't be around for awhile. goodnight...

I also don't want to go off on a tangent about the state of pop-culture in the USA. The show was very impressive. I was afraid that there wouldn't be graphics, since I didn't see any screen to speak of, but was pleasantly surprised when I saw the pyramid above the pyramid light up with video. I thoroughly enjoyed the extra and extended samples throughout several songs, along with the revamping. My biggest complaints are the house music as mentioned before, along with the fact that S.A.L.T. (my current favorite orb track [next to towers of dub] - no flames, please) was EXACTLY the same as the cd as far as I could tell, which was the only track that I believe they didn't remix/redo. Also, the fans. People, if you see or hear something that you recognize or think is humorous, there's no reason to laugh obnoxiously out loud for long periods of time. Also, just because you know every word to S.A.L.T. doesn't mean that you have to shout along with it. I do to, and I refrained. Save it for watching Naked in your home. Otherwise, I would say that the Orb were very impressive live and I hope to see them again sometime soon.

We get most of the same TV stations and everything. Unfortunately we (Canadians) don't have a "regular" weekly show like AMP on MTV U.S.A., amazingly enough. We have had a few episodes of a show called R.U.Receiving on Much Music, but you never know when it gonna be on. Yes I HATE Boys-2-Men also. Any American band with a number in their name actually:).

The dates for the "live" tracks correspond to those for the tracks on Live 93 but they are quite obviously different versions of Little Fluffy Clouds and Assasin. Now, I'm not one of those people who plays tracks side by side for comparison, but if I did, I'd probably be thinking -'Hey, this "live" version of Assasin is EXACTLY the same as the oasis of rhythms mix on the Assasin CD single.' (Maybe not, but the times are the same, and they sound damn similar.) Now, as for the "live" LFC - doesn't sound too live to me. What it is exactly, I don't know. It's nothing spectaculary different from the ~10 versions of LFC that I already own. Maybe its from the US Single. The guy who put this one together needs to lay off the pipe. > $25 Yellow Magic Orchestra - Technodon II (5 orb remixes, missing back > insert) > Is this out of print? I was kind of surprised a few months ago when I saw that Comfort in Japan was selling them new for $20.00 (plus $6.00 shipping.)

They nonetheless bravely subjected themselves to the showbiz ritual known as "the press conference" in Toronto Tuesday (May 13), before a sold-out show at the Warehouse. To make matters worse, just as the two sat down for a grilling from a small but eager lot of young music journalists ready to glean the formula which led to the group's latest effort, Orblivion, a dreadful racket started up in an adjacent room, a racket which turned out to be the headlining act the Chemical Brothers running through what seemed their entire pre-programmed set in a soundcheck. Surely it was bad enough that the Orb, who can lay claim to being originators of the '90s brand of electronica with a straight face, had to play second fiddle to these young techno-upstarts with the Noel-pop connection - now, the reticent duo literally had to struggle to be heard above the "block-rockin' beats," which in fact made TLN's tape recording of the conference kind of a new remix all its own: the Chemical Brothers, with mumbled vocals samples by the Orb. Should be a big hit on the bootleg market (just kidding). Anyway, a couple of interesting facts emerged briefly from the din: The Orbsters brightened when TLN asked them about their work on the ace new Can remix album Sacrilege (Mute, May 20), in which they and a number of other similarly minded types - Brian Eno and A Guy Called Gerald - de- and reconstruct great material from the pioneering Krautrockers. Citing the primitive "straight to two-track" approach of the German avant-gardists, Hughes described their work on the classic Tago Mago's "Halleluwah" as "tough going," but said they were pleased with the result, with Paterson adding that "the rumour is that the remix album is going to outsell the entire [Can] back catalogue," and that they were pleased again that he would be helping bring the band a whole new audience. Paterson also dismissed certain purist types metaphorically circling the wagons around current electronic music as if it's some untouchable sacred cow. The recent resurgence of Gary Numan, soon to be heard on a cover of "Are Friends Electric" by techno-rock hybridists Republica, for instance, makes Paterson positively gleeful: "Where Gary Numan's concerned, I used to always go see Tubeway Army [Numan's first band which recorded the electropop classic Replicas] and a lot of my mates used to really take me to town for liking electronic music; that's when there was a lot of punk stuff about, and now they're getting the point ... 'Cars' [Numan's biggest hit] is a brilliant track!" All attempts at communication became overwhelmed by the din emanating from the next room, Paterson semiotically registering his bemusement with a variety of comic physical gestures to accentuate the session's growing sense of hopelessness. Worse, during the infrequent lulls in the Chems' technotronic assault, one hapless reporter insisted on trying to ingratiate himself to Paterson with questions about soccer (right up there with lawn bowling in the canon of North American sports), which finally managed to tee him off when he broached the notion of the lack of racial purity in British "football." Paterson then turned on his hapless partner Hughes, and in a mock show of indignation, claimed that "he'd been set up," before stomping out of the room, leaving his befuddled partner to fend for himself. Later, the Orb showed it would take a back seat to no one, extending its set well past its cutoff point before heading back to the U.K. to catch the F.A. Cup.

I absolutely *adore* the rendition of A Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain they delivered during that recording session. A CD single with that mix on it would be nice too... I never really liked the track (I get the feeling some jaws may drop now..) before I heard that mix. The cuts on Live 93 and the Ultraworld double album don't really do it for me.

I use music to fall asleep quite often, and I obviously don't want to get up from my half-sleeping state to skip the track forward. I don't like the song because it breaks up the mood and ambience created by the first track (which is brilliant IMHO, the best rendition of oobe ever).

If this IS the Orb, or whoever it is, I'd like to know more about that sample you mentioned. RUmor has been for a long time that the guys on the Apollo 11 mission to the moon saw some really weird stuff that they weren't allowed to talk about. I've read stories about Neil Armstrong saying that, but I wasn't aware of any audio of the transmission that was available to the public. Apparently NASA has never released much more than what was initially publicized at the time. Does anyone else know anything about this? Sorry for going so incredibly off-topic.

It was incredible and I can't wait for the next show! I have been meaning to send this review for a while, but haven't had the chance to really reflect and write on the show until now. They played in "The Bomb Factory" which is just an old factory converted into a place where you can see bands now. Some of the people I met at the show had seen them before in "Deep Ellum Live" which is right next door, but a smaller venue. They reported the shows over there being much better (why? I think because no Chem's). The place opened at about 8:00 and my wife and I got there by 9. I make it a point not to wear a watch when I'm having fun, but I think the Orb came on at about 9:30-9:45. Whatever they had playing before the show and during intermission was great. Lots of groovy DJ mixes. If anyone knows what it was and where to get it please let me know. The show started seamlessly with whatever it was that had been playing before. In fact it was hard to tell when the Orb really started. Alex and Andy slipped up there on stage started mixing it up before I realized what was going on. The show was great, and they seemed to play everything that most people are reporting. I don't recall exactly what the set was. The only thing that was dissapointing was that they would do this long, drawn out buildup and just when you thought they were going to explode, they would just let it go... Don't get me wrong, they jammed quite a bit off and on. Just not when I really expected them to. I think I will enjoy them even better the next time around, since I will know exactly what to expect. How often does The Orb tour anyway? I hadn't even heard the Chemical Brother's before, but you could tell that a big portion of the crowd had really come to see them (especially when they hit the stage). This was CB's first US show for this tour and they were pretty hyped up. CB were actually pretty good for the first 4 or 5 songs, then we couldn't stand it anymore and we left. Their show was breakneck from the get-go. If you were dancing, I don't see how you could last all night. We were already all tore up from The Orb. I saw/met quite a few floydians there who were, like me, turned onto the Orb's music by the various connections between the bands. In short, fun was had by all and it was a very memorable experience and I am looking forward to the next show!

They changed for a little while, and did something they wanted to do without regard for what anyone else would think. That's so much more cool than anything I've seen any other band do. If you want them to do the same thing over and over, fine, but I welcome the surprises, and I'm not crass enough to think it sucks because it's not their normal mode or it's rock 'n' roll. It shows they're diverse, and that they can change their clothes .... one more reason to love them. # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: u9602145@bournemouth.ac.uk (Matthew Anniss) Subject: Re: (orb) A thought to ponder... Date: 16 May 1997 13:44:48 +0100 >Yes I HATE Boys-2-Men also. Any American band with a number in their name >actually:). >The current British Boy Bands are also really bad too. I'll second that. It's BLOODY AWFUL if you live in Britain. I mean, North & South, Upside Down, Ant & Dec, Backsteet boys, Take That (RIP), all absolutely shite - and on television every waking hour. North and South even have their own kids TV programme (not that I watch it, of course, I just know of it - honest, me'lud). Generally though, each country / state / continent has its own share of good / bad music. Unfortunately, a lot of the better stuff just doesn't get heard by people outside the country, or even outside certain social groups within the country. It's usually only when they recieve the 'blessing' of the media (as British / European 'electronic' music has in North America, to an extent) that they recieve a wider audience (as Electronic / dance music has in europe / the uk for years). The bad music has a great audience / acceptance because usually it is commercial - as boy bands / pop acts are maent to be. Taking the US as a case, it has taken the American media European Electronica to wake up to its own scene which has been around far longer than the UK acts. Techno and house both started out in US cities, and only reached the UK scene on import (though certain uk cities like Sheffield did have their own electronic scene - cabaret voltaire / Richard H Kirk etc). It has to be accepted that no one place has A great amount of brilliance. We all have to wade through pop / country / rock or whatever to reach what we are looking for. Or that's what I think...

I pay for my stuff, started walking out and remembered, I turned around and asked "hey have you ever heard of Orbscure Trax" he replied "Oh, you want one?" reached down and plopped it on the counter in front of me... I was stunned, I felt the cold tingles as i blacked out... I stood there for 5 five long seconds staring at it... and he says " I work for them, I've got plenty of these" for those of you that don't understand, I've been looking all over for this, I even grabbed the phone book and started dialing every number, I had called that store and asked them (must have talked to a new guy).

Date: 18 May 1997 22:39:46 -0400 (EDT) While out at the Tower Records near Tysons Corner, VA (17May) I ran across the above-mentioned NIN single in the POP section in the "L's" believe it or not (I was actually looking for Live CDs at that time.) I picked the CD up and sure enough, the Orb mix was track #5, so for $4.99 I snagged it up and proceeded to the checkout area. Apon seeing the CD, the clerk exclaimed "Hey, where did you get THIS from? This isn't supposed to be out until the 20th." and then continued ranting and raving and eventually send a co-worker back to look for this CD in the singles & non-singles sections to no avail. At any rate, while listening to Trancemissions (sp?) on 99.1 WHFS (Annapolis) later that evening they played another mix of NIN's "Perfect Drug" and Gina Crash mentioned that the remix CD would not be out until the 20th as well. I also have inquired with Modern Music (earlier this previous week) and they said they'd have it "next week" (this upcoming week). At anyrate, based on the information I have here, it appears like I have run across some kind of anomaly insofar as being able to pick this CD up before the release-date. I've only had a chance listen to the CD once and didn't have the luxury to give it my full attention, though I really haven't heard anything that jumped out at me - including the Orb version. I'll probably be listening to it via headphone sometime soon while reading, so maybe I'll pick up some other nuances and whatnot. At anyrate here's the info on the CD itself: Digipak, tri-colored, dark-red, green, blue, track times on the front, track listing on the back (large print.)

Picked it up on the 9th at a local shop. I like the Plug remix best. The Orb's mix seems a bit like they're taking the piss on the whole song (ie that annoying tweak on the vocal 'you are the perfect drug' repeated ad nauseum) but it general it leaves one a bit confused and disoriented which was probably their goal. Also picked up the Italian bootleg 'The O.O.B.E. Adventure' which has a nice article and 2 tracks, but at $24.99 made me hate myself for being a trainspotter. -- wally@nicar.org "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, You are gods'?" # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Monolith Subject: Re: (orb) NIN Perfect Drug (Orb) Remix.

I rate it on par with Pink Floyd - The "momentary lapse of reason" tour - where I first saw and fealt the awesome force of Durga in 1986. On behalf of everyone here who was aching thirsty,like in a desert, for the real thang - you rocked it....my universe was humming with sounds and feelings. All respect to the chemical brothers but myself and my thankfull guest felt so satisfied, moved and groooved by the orb, that we split for intrgalactic sweet dreams shortly after your set.The experience was very healing for me, as I'd lived and traveled around Techno for 4 years...yet in the last three it's been film film film. When I can, it is my dream to incorporate your sound scapes into my films. One day you will hear from me on this. Untill then, I am listening and dancing to your brilliance.

They've released 5 albums & some 12"s on the Pork label, 1 EP (on a US independent label) & have done tons of remixes. Just got their new album in the mail yesterday & must say that they've been sacrificing quality for quantity of late. Their 1st 3 albums are their best. The latest album "luck be a winner tonight" delves into a little prog rock, but isn't as varied as the earlier albums & has fewer samples. Last year's "Black market gardening" was also somewhat of a disappointment. But even at their worst, Fila Brazilia are a lot better than much that is out there. Their style is more jazzy (both uptempo & down) & polished than (though comparable too) the stuff on Ninja Tune. # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: beRt d'Eon Subject: (orb) Speaking of Ninja Tune Date: 20 May 1997 19:43:17 -0300 I know it's probably impossible to find but, does anyone have a copy of the demo tape of a DJ who I believe is called Kid Koala.

I was and still am very much a fan of the way LX was going a couple years back. "FFWD" and "Pomme Fritz" and that stuff...I think it's all brilliant (even if they *did* do some of the "Fritz" tracks in just a couple weeks). A recent Select reviewer's comments to the effect that the last couple albums were the worst of the past five years are just a lot of crap, IMO. After reading some of Alex's comments on the new album, I'd gotten the impression that it was him as much as (or more than) anyone that was responsible for the more "pop" sensibility of the new material (like that melody in "Toxygene," or the Ultramarine-esque "up" feel of "Bedouin"). As for the "return to form" bit, I'd just call it another progression. Their new material is more "pop" (as LX called it once), and simpler in terms of the mixing & engineering ("Orbvs Terrarvm" is a lot more complex), but still unmistakably Orb, and in that sense I think Andy's work with the band continues to be right on the money....

The cover to the PerPetual Dawn single is a painting, with credits given to LX. it's nice and all, but it isn't what i'd call incredible design/phenominal artwork... but that's just my opinion, and I'm sure we've all figured out by now what a fan I am of MadArk's stuff... but just in case I haven't hammered that point home enough: > >So maybe he does do the artwork, no, he doesn't. Like I said before, LX claimed MadArk to be pals of theirs..... I dunno though, on Orbvs Terravm, it >credits the concept for design for Alex Paterson, well, generally, when you hire a design shop to create some work for you, you (the musician) gives them (the designers) some idea of which direction you'd like to go in, especially if you've got one in mind. As MadArk are not only a design shop, but friends of the lads, they were probably at the pub talking about it or something, and LX told them his concept, which they elaborated... Generally speaking, the client give examples of work they like/ideas of what they'd like to see, then the designers materialize it, put their own twist on it, and viola! >MadArk stuff is too similar to Designers Republic to be considered original. if you ask me, they're as different as night and day. true, MadArk, has a very stylized, graphical (versus photo-based) look, as does the designer's republic, but the DR is much more chaotic, incorporating intense typography and iconography, which you don't see in MadArk's stuff. true, the stuff DR did for the Orb was a little more toned down (look at the cover of UF Orb vs. a PWEI album), but as a rule, the DR's work is much more of an assault on the senses, incorporating bright colours, deteriorated fonts, and manga-like iconography. MadArk generally tends to be line-driven, muted, flat colours, with more negative space. don't get me wrong, i love the DR! i'm a huge fan, in fact. part of the reason, i imagine, that the Orb chose to switch is because the DR usually take free reign over the design... if you hire them to do a cover, they make it in the DR style as they see fit, generally not accepting huge amounts of creative direction. if LX wants to give a lot of direction, the DR is probably not the way to go... check out issue #25 of Emigre magazine (an all-DR issue) for in-depth interviews and tons of artwork. and on with the show... =) rachel # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ryan Platte Subject: Re: (orb) andy and the chem's...

Date: 21 May 1997 19:26:05 +0200 Hi Orbies, My provider got in problems for over a week so I couldn't reply to all the messages some of you send me. Sorry for that, but I'm back now and I hope I'll stay for a long time. Expect replies to your messages in the next two days (got almost 300 messages to read!) So I went to Dutch three day festival Pinkpop last weekend to see The Orb. Started saturday with beatiful weather. Very sunny and hot so after a couple of beers and some smoking we're (my brother and I) really enjoyed the bands Death In Vegas and The Roots on saturday night and watched the movies 12 Monkeys and Trainspotting somewhere early in the morning on a huge open air screen with thousands of people. About 35.000 people we're partying and everybody was really enjoying themselves. No arguing, no fighting. Nothing at all, despite the fact that tons of beer and hash we're going in. Sunday was the dance day so we went to see Lamb, Faithless, System 7 and of course The Orb. The first bands played in the tent and especially Lamb and System 7 really got the audience to go crazy. System 7 started with some drum 'n bass versions and than threw in the remix they did for Richie Hawtin. About twenty minutes of hard beats, acid sounds and Steve Hillage freaking on his guitars. Wow! Than at 9.30 The Orb started at the big stage, and they did it again!!!!! They played for an hour and sounded nothing like the tour they did the last months. This is their festival set and everybody (in the UK) must go to see and hear it. They played: The Blue Room (completely fucked up and I got tears in my eys, so fucking great!) Asylum Outlands Majestic Little Fluffy Clouds Toxygene (sounded like it never stop, the beats come in and in and everybody jumped, arms in the air) Just like 1994 when they headlined Pinkpop a lot of rock guys watched it and stood still but after some time they're jumping as hard as everybody. I heard a lot of new samples and the sound system was so great that it almost blew me away. Hard but clear sounds, about 20.000 people really going mad. When I must compare the gig they did last month in Amsterdam and this gig it will be: Amsterdam 6 and Pinkpop 9! (only because they started with one of the best versions of Blue Room I've ever heard and the use of some completely new and very very strange samples! and the fact that the soundsystem rocked the place) After that we watched some movies on the screen (A Dutch movie about house and drugs and From Dusk Till Dawn) at three o'clock in the morning in open air and went to a huge tent after that we're everybody was singing and getting even more drunk. I'm too excited about it to find the right words in English to express the feeling but I ENJOYED PINKPOP AND WENT FUCKING NUTS AT SYSTEM 7 & AND THE ORB! Got a lot of sleep to get!

The 15:42 "Andy's Dub" mix of Plateau is the most god-like, gorgeous, brilliant, blissful track I've ever heard. I'm not kidding. It's amazing. Bandulu's remix of Occidental is very good, too, IMO. Anyway, I was just sufficiently blown away by this disc that I had to get on here and shout about it a bit. Y'know, it really would be a shame for them not to go ahead and make a regular release out of this disc.

In other words, now that we've all thoroughly DISCUSSED the album, how do we all really FEEL about it? To me, ORBLIVION is not at all a "return to form". It seems like many people were outright offended by the very quirky rythms and textures of the Orb's two previous albums, ORBVS TERRARVM and POMME FRITZ, especially the latter. So, in that light, ORBLIVION only sounds like a return to form in that it doesn't sound like ORBVS TERRARVM or POMME FRITZ. But, it doesn't sound like ULTRAWORLD or U.F.ORB either!!! It absolutely does not. Those first two releases contained a lot of block-rockin beats (sorry), but they also had some very very spacey, atmospheric textures... dare I say "ambient"? Where is this on ORBLIVION? "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain", "Supernova at the End of the Universe", "Star 6 & 7 8 9", "Blue Room", and "o.o.b.e" are otherworldly, and inspiring. At best, ORBLIVION is fun, and entertaining. But, it's not compelling. In fact, I listen to AUNTIE AUBREY much more often than ORBLIVION. It just keeps me interested longer. Don't get me wrong, I really like ORBLIVION. But, It fails to "move" me like most of the Orb's other material. And, I don't think the album should really be compared to the first two Orb releases, as their similarities are only superficial.

"A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain", "Supernova at the End SP>of the Universe", "Star 6 & 7 8 9", "Blue Room", and "o.o.b.e" are SP>otherworldly, and inspiring. what do you want, the same albumn rereleased over and over, do you think lx wants to do the same thing for years to come, could the orb really be considered one of the most ground-breaking electronic bands by not progressing? i love pomme fritz and have played orbvs terrarvm more than any other orb albumn, gets better every time, its one of the most insaneley well produced, composed, thought out, and complex electronic albumns ever. i.e. put on slvg dvb at abovt 5:30 into the song and here lx bring the whole thing togethor, friggin beautiful! the piano riff in oxbvw lakes!!! the insane drumming right after the (spock) sample in valley. plateau! and now the dub remix!!! btw does anyone know if that is spock on the sample in valley... "we are in complete harmony.... " SP> Don't get me wrong, I really like ORBLIVION. But, It fails to "move" SP>me like most of the Orb's other material. well, we all have our faults, but after i've fully digested it, i rank it second on my orbie list close behind terrarvm, delta mkii, is phenomonal, ubiquity is ambient splendor, passing ov time, more great orb samples with an excellent use of dynamics to build a song, the only track i don't really like is the "confused weather girl" song. And, I don't think the album SP>should really be compared to the first two Orb releases, as their SP>similarities are only superficial. yeah the first two albumns don't even compare to orblivion. shaggy # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Steve Speak Subject: Re: (orb) Living With Orblivion Date: 29 May 1997 16:07:08 -0400 > what do you want, the same albumn rereleased over and over, do you > think lx wants to do the same thing for years to come, > could the orb really be considered one of the most ground-breaking > electronic bands by not progressing? Of course I don't want the same album re-released over and over again. That's not the point. I love The Orb's progressive spirit. When ORBVS TERRARVM came out, I was very impressed by the new direction that the Orb's sound was moving in. There's nothing wrong with change. In fact, there would be a real problem if there were NO change. My point is that ORBLIVION is hardly a return to the form of ULTRAWORLD and U.F.ORB (which are themselves much different from one another). I just don't think that ORBLIVION nearly as exciting as ULTRAWORLD, U.F. ORB, or ORBVS TERRARVM, which are the essential Orb releases. But, it's still damn good. I'm not criticizing anyone's tastes, just some of the comparisons to earlier works, which are unwarranted. Once again, not to criticize anyone's tastes, but if you think POMME FRITZ is a more fully realized album than ULTRAWORLD or U.F.ORB, you should check out this interesting little quote... "Journalists at the time were going to us, 'Oh, POMME FRITZ is the best thing we've ever heard', and we were saying, 'Mate, we did that in two weeks to get everyone off our backs -- it's a piece of shit.' They just couldn't fathom that we were taking the piss out of our own record, and yet they were calling it a work of genius and madness." - Alex Paterson, Request Magazine (May 1997). Give me a tinkle when you want to, Steve P.S. I never knew that "Valley" sample was Spock. Cool. # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Chris Basford Subject: Re: (orb) Getting a bit irritated here...

I have to say that this version of Molten Love (Berlin Session Film Mix) is the one of the most beautiful and coolest ambient track I heard in a long time. That sample that sounds like someone singing in the beginning and throughout the track sounds great. Anybody know who or what that is? I feel sorry for anybody that wasn't able to get one of these. I'm usually the one who misses out on rare stuff but I'm sure glad I got one of these. Well, I can't say I always miss out cause I'm lucky to have a copys of Patterns & Textures and The Aubrey mixes. Anyway...back to the music...

It was a great time for all. I bought music, mostly not orb related, but I did get both asylum parts at a shop just south of Haight on Divisidero. They only have the plastic one now, but they do have the box copy of Toxygene. At Aomeba records in berkely, they had a system 7 album with fehlman, paterson, and weston as partial collaborators on it. I didn't buy it so it may very well, still be there. It was in the first or second row of the "new" electronica section (I hate that name). I didn't get to rave or anything like that, but I had a great time anyhow. that's all! - ben "A long time ago there was a person who was as misunderstood as we are... and they nailed him to a fucking cross..." djblue@asu.edu --==--==-- http://www.public.asu.edu/~djblue # 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. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Karl Hautamaki Subject: RE: (orb) Orbscurities, not that great Date: 31 May 1997 08:25:33 -0700 I must concur.
