He spun in the "ambient" room. There was probably 100-200 people that were in the room during his set. It was rather cool because I got to stand about 7 ft. away while he was spinning, unlike the main room where the dj's were up on a stage thing. His set about about 2 hrs and was pertty hard. The only complaint that I had was that the volume was real cranked to over come the room below and distored the musik.

If, say you are a broadcaster and are doing, say a radio show, you can distribute the tapes all over hell, as long as you don't get anything ($$$) in return. I can tape my radio show and actually call it an original work - It becomes an original work because I put it together the way I put it together. I won't get screwed as long as I give credit for the original songs to the original artists. If you were to say host a show and introduce each track and identify the artist, you'd be perfectly fine. Just don't sell the stuff. Also, you could be completely safe by just giving a tape to someone, as long as you don't agree to give them a tape in return as payment. You could give me a tape...and I could give you a tape. If they really went through the trouble of sueing you, they'd have to prove somehow that each tape was payment. The main loophole is you're using groups of other people's material to create something unique. I suppose that's how most of these cheesy house dudes get away with selling their mix tapes at the local mall. Hell, these guys don't even put song titles and credits on the tape jackets...they have a binder at the register that gives you the track listings. Pretty terrible Since they mix it all together it becomes a unique work which actually falls under copywrite protection. I actually put together a promo tape for my radio show a few years back. It had all kinds of stuff on there, including bits of a ren & stimpy cartoon. If I actually needed to justify its creation in court, my reasoning would go like this... I put your artist on a tape with a group of other artists whom are highly respected in this particular genre. I advertized my show on the label of the tape so that people who liked the music on the tape would tune into my show on a weekly basis. If they tuned in to the show, you're music might experience an increase in radio play, thus generating more attention in the CMJ weekly reports, thus generating more exposure on a national level, thus making you more money (greedy fucks) and, I did it all for free (no cost to the label...they tend to like that) What about the artists? Well...they might get pissed if you put a techno artist's track on a country music compilation you made for your girlfriend...honestly though lets be realistic. What are the realistic odds that an artist is: a) going to find out about the copy you made of your friends favorite car mix b) going to actually be pissed about it c) go through the trouble of sueing you for it? Not high at all. That whole Clinton law thing was made to crack down on the folks that carbon copy knock-offs of new albums and videos in China and Mexico and try selling them as the real genuine deal (also video games - we almost sanctioned China for that!)

My two first Orb experiences was the Depeche Mode "Happiest girl" remix and the Mike Oldfield vs Orb "Sentinel" remix. About the last one, it had none of the original song (perhaps backwards or in the background ?) and I thought "Hey it's a scam ! Hey It's cool !" A friend of mine gave me his copy of "UFOrb", I thought "These tracks are very long ! Hey it's great !".

Asides from being completely fubar, they were the most amazing electronic act I had ever seen (and still are). I bought 3 albums the next day (pomme, live93 & adventures). I got home, smoked a bat and as they say, tuned in and dropped out. Ever since then I have loved orb music and try to find anything they have released on cd (legally and illegally). Although I quit the heavy drugs (lsd,e) they still make me smile after smokin a fatty. All the best to everyone in the new year!

Yow!) Anyway, my wife DOES watch the networks, and Allie McBeal (or whatever that new show is called) was on. I walked in the room, and that awful "Ooga-Chaka" song from the 70s started playing on the show. Allie McBeal looked down, and there was this dancing baby--truly horrifying, I can tell you! Anyway, was THAT the infamous "dancing baby" of the Orb show this past summer??? If so, it looked EXACTLY the way I imagined it would--short, bloated, and all-around evil--typical of toddlers.

Date: 07 Jan 1998 00:23:55 -0500 I have been a huge Jean Michel Jarre fan ever since I heard Oxygene in France in 1976 when I was on holiday with my family when I was ten. As I grew older and Jarre's music evolved I grew more and more into the music. I loved to listen to it at university because it was good background music to study to, good mood music and generally very cool. About three and a half years ago I moved. When I was unpacking at the new apartment I came across a cassette I had never seen before and it had no title or band name on it just the song titles. I was intrigued (come on who wouldn't be when faced with a song called LFC or A huge...) and popped it in. I was stunned. It was like nothing I had ever heard before yet so much like what I loved about JMJ. I was hooked but had no idea who it was by until I got the brilliant idea to do an alta vista search for the words LFC at the start of last summer (I can be pretty dense sometimes, I can hunt down my long lost friend on the Internet but it took me three and a half years to figure out I could find the artists name) Anyway, the rest, as they say, is history. I am truly Orbsessed.

A few months later I read in dutch dance magazine 'Bassic Groove', an article about the Orb. In it it was told that the Orb has worked with KLF on 'Chill'. A week later I found Adventures for only 25 guilders. Since then I was an all time Orb fan. Author of the article was Nico (well known I think).

Some to try, some to not: For To Next, And Not Or - is not what I would call a good album! This is one of those transitional albums, where they really start trying too hard!!! L, green, Fish Rising, Live Herald are all quite good, Radio Dome Musick is somewhat in the Fripp/eno direction and quite kool. Just don't get For To Next, And Not Or, the rest should suffice! And if you like, then get Gong's albums, all the ones up to the departure of Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth - even though the subsequent albums have Hillage and Giraudy on them, they are mainly directed by the other musicians!

Then a bit later, I got The Young Gods album TV Sky and thought yippee - good old fashioned heavy metal, until I found out it was all done on keyboards and samplers! This was then helped on by a friend of mine who introduced me to a Throbbing Gristle album called In the Shadow of the Sun which was (I think) their last proper album (apart from Journey through a body - where not one of the four musicians talked to each other during the recording of) which was dark ambient done with tapes and effects in the late 70s. I got interested in ambient and got my hands on Orb's Ultraworld and still wasn't convinced, UFOrb was alright but a bit on the tuneful side for me, until Pomme Fritz hit my Earlobes! Then I was hooked. Listening to UFOrb again, I still wasn't that impressed, but Ultraworld took on a new character, then Orbus Terrarum came and extracted my juices! Then Orb (as the Petit Orb - Fehlmann, LX and DJ Lewis) played my university's student union (at last I got around to taking some hard drugs with Orb) and was blown away - a group of us formed a circle on the dancefloor and held hands while the music played (I think people thought we were nuts - but then again, they were probably dancing too koolly to notice the music) and we swayed and fell over and etc... etc... Now everything is Orbish and everthing I see has a soft edge to it, all the corners of my vision have been orbed! Angol Dat!

Well, I wouldn't say I'm disappointed with newer Aphex Twin stuff. RDJ is also great at making (twisted)little pop songs, unlike anything I've ever heard before, not just long SAW2 like stuff (which I also love). I do agree that Orblivion doesn't hold my interest like older Orb albums. It just seems like a bunch of totally unrelated tracks, some of which are just pretty standard "techno stuff". I think they're trying too hard not to be too "artsy/FSOL-like", and perhaps actually make some money this time around. The music has suffered because of this, though. ******************************************************* * Take a break from the 90s visit our 80s Music Stop * * http://www.ug.cs.dal.ca/~swim/80stop.html * ******************************************************* - # 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: Re: (orb) Disturbing Date: 07 Jan 1998 11:54:41 -0400 At 09:36 PM 06/01/98 EST, you wrote: > >the dancing baby was done w/software called "Poser2" >in case ya cared > I actually had Character Studio for 3DStudio MAX 1.2, and the baby dancing scene came with it, so if Poser2 was involved in any way, it was just used to export the original Poser model to a format that Max can read, so that it could then be animated with Character Studio.

Date: 07 Jan 1998 11:38:06 -0600 I stumbled into the Orb through the KLF, which I stumbled into through the JAMMs. Here's the long, winding, tedious story: A friend of mine moved off and left me a handful of records. The best of the bunch was the _Shag Times_. Most of the techno-type stuff I had at the time was Chicago style, so I thought the JAMM's sense of humor was great. (Loved the story in the liner notes about their pilgrimage to meed ABBA!:) A little later I was scanning titles at the recka stow and came across the KLF's Wax Trax WTiL single. "I don't know who these guys are, but they have the JAMM's pyramid blaster logo..." I bought it, and it didn't SOUND like the JAMMs, and it wasn't funny like them, but it still felt like something they'd do. So I mentally put them on my "check for" list. (Good luck -- the only other thing of theirs I found in the stores around here was the TVT greatest hits collection. Everything else was mailorder.) Anyway... I'd heard of the Orb through the KLF, so when when ABtUW came out domestically (the emasculated 1-CD version), I scored a copy and loved it. Most of the techno I'd been hearing was hardcore. So here was ABtUW, which felt organic; alive. I've bought just about all of their singles and albums since then. (Not their remixes. I couldn't keep up.)) What I liked then -- and still like now -- about the Orb is that organic feel. At first I equated it with ambience, but there were a *flood* of techno/ambient albums after UFOrb charted that stank, so that's not it. The runners-up change (currently Loop Guru and Porcupine Tree), but the Orb is still my favorite for that type of music. Surprise twist ending: I don't do drugs at all.

It's got a couple of Hillage tracks on there that are not to be missed. If you like that, try _Angel's Egg_. Most of Hillage's post-Gong, pre-System 7 work doesn't really work for me. LIQUIDW's got it right though -- _Fish Rising_ and _Rainbow Dome Musik_ would be the ones to check out. _Fish Rising_ was his first solo album and got critical response than later albums. It's Indian hippie progressive rock. (To me, it's what _Close to the Edge_ would have been if the members of YES had grown up in the east instead of in the UK and tripled their drug intake.) _Rainbow Dome Musik_ will be more familiar territory to Orb fans, I think. IMHO it's the first real Chill Out album.

Rainbow Dome Musick is closest to the Orb .... that seems to be the one that started the whole ambient thing. The others are very proggy, very hippie. Music your parents might like. Use discretion. Having said that, my favorite is probably "L" (Steve Hillage with Utopia including Todd Rundgren), or better yet, if you like that sort of music, pick up Angel's Egg by Gong (also featuring Hillage). That one is a gem. BTW with all this talk about bootlegs, will someone be so kind as to make me a tape or two of rarer stuff? Would appreciate it, and will reciprocate somehow.

Well... Date: 08 Jan 1998 08:19:34 +1100 Back around '92, a friend of mine bought a compilation called 'Logic Trance 2' it was fantastic! (Still one of our all time favourites) The second track after FSOL's Papua New Guinea was LFC. I loved it....I couldn't get enough enough of it. A few years later, I was walking through a music shop and saw this odd looking vinyl pack looking up at me. It was Orbvs Terrarvm, and it was only $25 so I grabbed it. Expecting it to sound like LFC I got a bit of a surprise......but I loved it anyway. Then early last year I was watching a documentary on the history of rock'n'roll. Towards the end of the final episode they interviewed this bloke by the name of Alex Paterson and he was from....The Orb...! Then I learned the full story behind them and loved them even more (That's where I got my first taste of Blue Room, and then came to you people for help....and got it :-) Since then I bought Orbvs Terrarvm(CD), Orblivion, Ultraworld, UFOrb and I got Live'93 for christmas. It's pretty hard to get anything even slightly rare out here....I only saw Asylum as a single yesterday for the first time.....ever! I still listen to Orbvs Terrarvm the most.....at least 4 times a week.

I'd prefer to trade them (mainly older FAX - see my wants list), but will consider reasonable cash offers (enough to cover my trading price, at least) if nothing from my want list is available. Too many cash offers may result in an auction, however, so trades preferred. Wants list is at http://www.fit.qut.edu.au/~elgey/wants_list.html, or e-mail me for a copy.

Not quite. This item about charging ISP's access charges instead of business-line charges was decided against on May 7, 1997.

A: The FCC requested public comment in December 1996 on whether ISPs should pay current access charges, and more generally on how Internet and interstate information services that use local telephone networks should be treated. The Commission concluded on May 7, 1997 that ISPs should not be subject to interstate access charges. There is currently no open comment period on this issue.

I have Anthology and Anthology II, 39 evil bro and most of the original CD's so I have a number of versions of the same pieces and I gotta say they all rock. I love the differences between all versions. I also have to say that you can't just listen to The Orb. To get the full effect you either need surround sound or a good set of headphones.

Well... Date: 10 Jan 1998 10:24:26 +0000 Hi fellow orb heads =), Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away (sorry, i just cannot imagine what my life was like before i listened to the Orb) i was listening to my favorite techno/industrial show on college radio and heard "Backside of the Moon" and was completely blown away. I had previously only dreamed of music this good. Anyways, the next day i went out on a mission to find a cd by these geniuses and the first thing i found was the Aubrey mixes on cd at Tower (yes, this was a long time ago). I bought it, went home, rolled up a fat spliff, and the rest is history. I have bought all of the orb ever since, seen every show in San Franscisco they played ( the shows at the Warfield were phenomenol ), and saw him spin twice in San Franscisco. One of the times i saw him spin i met him and talked to him for a bit and thought he was a super nice guy!!! He was super irie though, he asked me if i had some erb!!! At that point i could do nothing else but break him off some and roll a fat spliff. It was cool, he was playing in an ambient room on the carpeted floor (yes, the turntables were set up on the floor in the middle of the room, very stoney =) He was on his hands and knees playing some of his favorite records while everyone sat arond him indian style smoking herb with him. It was so cool, it was more like being in his house smoking herb with him listening to him play records than being at a party watching him spin!!! Anyhow, that is my two cents, Be Well All, *eschaton* - # 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: Bobby Tribble Subject: Re: (orb) How you got into the Orb Date: 10 Jan 1998 14:50:58 -0800 At 09:53 PM 1/6/98 EST, you wrote: > >damn! is there anyone out there who DIDN'T hear orb for the first time on >drugs and instantly become a fan for life? :) I'm pretty damn straight-laced, never done drugs and barely go to concerts or anything (though when I do, I have a lot of fun =) Anyway, I was a big fan of the Art of Noise way back when "Beat Box" and "Close to the Edit" were getting airplay on the radio. But, I din't get a CD player till I was older - about 1991. So, I got all the AoN stuff I could get my hands on, and ran across an article on the internet. "Groups you might like if you're an AoN fan" Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld was listed, so I bought it (ya, the old US edition) and thought it was OK. After repeated listens on headphones while taking a nap or before going to bed I liked it more and more, and became a fan. How about that? So, thanks to some guy on the Internet for pointing me in the right direction (also leading to other great CDs like the early 808 State and Autechre) Then, in '93 I went to see the Orb in concert at the Warfield in San Francisco. WOW! Super bass and super light show. I had never before experienced anything like it and was obsessed with the Orb star symbol and "6,7,8,9" for about a month afterwards. That's when I became the super-fan and automatically bought anything connected to the Orb.

A friend let me listen to Ultraworld on cassette in '92. Didn't think much of it because all I wanted to listen to at the time was hardcore techno. (There are days when this is still true, =) But after one ugly day at work, I listened to it on the way home and just mellowed. I actually paid attention to it and was really facinated by the complexity of the music. Ended up getting UF sometime after that and then Ultraworld on CD (the US version first, two years later I got the UK version). Been a fan ever since. I did get to go to the '95 concert in LA which was mind-blowing.

I remember a couple of years ago he popped up every once & a while. Just curious. May the Orb be with you, Jeff p.s. Let LX & co. know that for their next tour, they should use something from the South Park cartoon. Like the "Happy, happy, joy, joy" tour.

Just curious. nope, he still lurks, but it's easier for me to pass any of his comments on....just think what would happen if EVERYONE knew how to get in touch...i imagine he'd get off the list pretty sharpish. at least this way, everyone's happy. for much the same reason, stuff like the Oz tour dates i posted (before the cancellation) were sent to be by the orb's management office. l8rs. -- Smiley, the virtual postman - # 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) more dancing babies Date: 13 Jan 1998 10:30:53 -0400 http://www.ktx.com/ Proof that it was made with 3DS MAX, and Character Studio. ******************************************************* * Take a break from the 90s visit our 80s Music Stop * * http://www.ug.cs.dal.ca/~swim/80stop.html * ******************************************************* - # 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: finaiddir@alpha.sfcpa.edu (The Nightfly) Subject: (orb) Live 93 Date: 13 Jan 1998 15:47:31 -0500 OK, I gave in, and got Live 93 yesterday. I listened to the second disk in its entirety, and I liked it quite a bit--although what's up with the live version of Assassin? I only have the "Oasis of Rhythms" mix from The Blue Room single, and it sounds nothing like the live version. OH well.... I listened to a little bit of the first cd--it was a bit more muddled than the second cd--well, I shouldn't really say that, because I was in a different room than the stereo when I listened to them, so neither was entirely clear.... So, I'll have to listen to them again when I get home tonight. Which will be quite late--I have class tonight after work (masters of education program--my first class in 6 years--any education majors out there who are willing to offer me assistance, it would be greatly appreciated! :) ). Actually, of all electronic musicians, by far the best live (audio quality, that is) is Tangerine Dream...well, their 1970s early 1980s works, anyway.... Riccochet, Pergamnon, Encore, and Warsaw are incredible--except for the very beginning, you can't even tell they are live. So, how are the live bootlegs of the Orb by comparison?

When I first heard the track I thought that possibly there had been a mix up at the CD pressing plant. I actually used to listen to the Sex Pistols and PIL (Public Image Limited) and recognized Jonny Rotten's (John Lydon) voice almost instantly. I'd never heard the song until then, though. # 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: Dagmar the Surreal Subject: Re: (orb) 2 cents Date: 15 Jan 1998 16:15:28 -0600 (CST) On Wed, 14 Jan 1998, Eben Sorkin wrote: > Since Smiley sometimes talks to LX, here is my 2 cents to - > > PS does LX like: middle eastern music like: persian, afghani, gnawa, & > so on?

Anyway, a few comments on some of the limited stuff I read: 1) There was a small debate about jungle earlier and I don't think you can compare jungle to the Orb at all. It's a passing public fetish, much like early house techno. 2) I taped copies of the Aubrey Mixes and FFWD from my friend: a) The Aubrey Mixes is good but not the best thing that the Orb has done. b) FFWD is truly amazing. I'd much rather find this on CD than Aubrey. 3) Some people posted rather negatively about Orblivion. I wasn't on the list when the album was first released so I probably missed the whole debate, but I think Orblivion is one of the top Orb albums. The level, deepness, and complexity of sound is unmatched by anyone. 4) My friend has a single from a group called Sub-surfing. He thinks that it's the Orb in disguise because the sound is so similar. I didn't get a chance to hear it, so does anybody know about this? How to get it? 5) The last thing, does anybody have or know how to get a copy of the Orb's remix of Yello Magic Orchestra? It's a Japanese import and I really, really want it.

The level, > deepness, and complexity of sound is unmatched by anyone. agreed-- it seems that people miss the point entirely. some people got into the orb with ultraworld, and they like that stripped down simple sound and are disappointed with everything after it (i dunno why reviews were talking about how orblivion harkened back to the ultraworld days, if anything it's even more of a progression away from it as terrarvm was).. or some people liked it because of S.A.L.T only for it's novelty value or it's, dare i say it, drum&bass tinged beats.. the worst song on the record, IMO. now, the first 5 tracks... that's some headtrip! > 5) The last thing, does anybody have or know how to get a copy of the > Orb's remix of Yello Magic Orchestra?

Date: 20 Jan 1998 09:14:43 -0500 I have a dubbed cassette copy of Aubrey Mixes (thanks to the generosity of another list member, to whom I will be forever indebted ;) ), and I noticed that the one song (It's NOT Spanish Castles in Space, at least I don't think so...it's the second song on the tape he gave me, but I'm not sure if it's the original song order) has a guitar sample from the song, "She's in Parties," by Bauhaus... Specifically, it's the last chord the guitar plays on the song, the one with the feedback/distortion. I don't know how to describe it--anyone with that song (and it's the one from the original album, NOT _Swing the Heartache_--I can't think of the album's name right now...OH! It's called, _Burning From the Inside_-- it's too early in the morning right now....) who also has Aubrey who can confirm that for me? The guitar sample plays several times in the song. I'll have to check the name of the track about which I'm talking when I get home tonight. God, that last paragraph doesn't make a bit of sense, does it? I jsut just re-read it. It's too early for me to think straight.... And I've got a meeting in an hour...this should be good.... :/ Oh, anyone know where that "gibberish" sample from Perpetual Dawn comes from? THAT'S the reason my wife hates it so much.... Hey--that "sentimental" sample is from The Chipmunks??? Is it David Seville, by any chance? That's hilarious!

On Coldcut's "What's That Noise?" album, there is a sample of some people speaking to a piano called Sparky. It is accompanied by some goofy, cartoonesque music. I am assured by an older relative that the sample is from a TV show called Sparky the Magic Piano (or something similar).

Gothic is quite often interesting--Bauhaus, Christian Death, Type-O Negative (hey, c'mon, they're a trip!)... Actually, Dead Can Dance is probably the most interesting of all--they've transcended the pretentious posturings of the other Goths, and have actually made the field progress somewhat.... Oh, I forgot to mention Art of Noise, Enigma, and Deep Forrest in the electronics list. Moonshine puts out interesting dj mixes--stuff from DJ Keoki, and Doc Martin, etc. And then, of course, there are the two greatest artists of all time: Frank Zappa, and the songwriting team of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, otherwise known as Steely Dan.... Iron Maiden was cool, as far as heavy metal is concerned, and Johnny Cash is good in the country genre....

There are very short Simpsons clips at the end of both Morphology and Anthology 2 (I think). Both are from the episode where Bart is being bullied by Nelson and enlists the help of the guy at the war memorabilia shop to attack him with water balloons. In one, Bart asks if it is OK if the balloons say 'Happy Birthday" and the war store guy says he'd prefer they say "Death from Above," but they'll have to do. The other is from the end of the show, where Bart addresses the audience to say that the show does not mean to glorify war, and that all wars are wrong, with the exception of the American Revolution, WWII and the Star Wars trilogy. 3. >To what other groups/people do you listen, outside the Orb?

All you'd need is some kind of .mp3 "jukebox" program to play the files through your sound card.

This isn't really uncommon (at least i don't think it is) I have a few cds that are straight mp3 (alot of vinyl compressed) one possibility would be to do it with html... if the user had winamp or something like that, they could click on a link, launch a playlist or simply a track... if one was *really* ambitious, a jukebox interface could be made coded using mBed or something along those lines... of course, theres always the oaa... but then, can we upload to it yet? i've mp3ed *quite* a bit since last time i posted =) (of course, now we can all get fined $100000 a file... but anyways) brap@sonic.net /// looking for reason http://www.sonic.net/~brap/ blackdog, vvm, whitezone-l, slipdisc C.Gosselin, PO Box 8264, Santa Rosa, CA 95407 # 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: "Neil Kelly" Subject: RE: (orb) Re: Other Music Date: 21 Jan 1998 23:41:43 -0500 Well, taking myself out of lurker mode for a moment...

This is an innovative English label formed in the early 80s (I think they've just had their 15th anniversary?) by producer Adrian Sherwood. Although rooted heavily in dub/reggae (eg Dub Syndicate, New Age Steppers, Singers and Players, Lee Perry), their most famous act is probably industrial funk group Tackhead, who also record as Strange Parcels, Fats Comet, Little Axe (dub/blues fusion), Barmy Army (sets soccer fan chants to music), Keith LeBlanc (drummer) and as backup for Gary Clail, Andy Fairley and Mark Stewart. Unfortunately On-U have been marking time a bit lately and it's been a while since the last truly groundbreaking release. For an amazing aural assault, it's hard to go past Mark Stewart and Maffia's "Wrong Name, Wrong Number" on the CD of "Learning to Cope with Cowardice", put together in Burroughs' cut-up style from dozens of other On-U recordings with Burroughs samples and maniac rantings from Stewart. - Bill Laswell's label Axiom - pretty well everything on this diverse label has musical depth and structure, and ranges from funk to dub, electronic, world, ambient and blues. There are several Orb collaborations/tracks on Axiom compilations eg 'Cocksville USA' on a neat little double CD called "Axiom Dub - Mysteries of Creation". The Orb has remixed Material's "Praying Mantra" off the most excellent CD "Hallucination Engine". DJs out there might like "Assassins Knowledge of the Remanipulated", an album of scratching credited to Altered Beats. - Cabaret Voltaire, particularly their more moody works from the late 70s and up to about 1982 when they became more of an industrial funk group (and an excellent one too - although IMHO they have now lost the plot completely). - A bit obvious, but Fripp & Eno's amazing seminal work from the early 70s '(no pussyfooting)', especially "The Heavenly Music Corporation" on side 1 (was this the first musical use of tape loops? It's about the same time as Steve Reich's "Come Out", but that and the subsequent "It's Gonna Rain" were non-instrumental pieces.) - Barry Adamson's "Moss Side Story" (subtitled 'Soundtrack for a Film that Never Was') - A hard to find little CD called 'Undark' by Russell Mills, which features contributions by Eno, the Edge and David Sylvian amongst others. Humm, that's enough to start with!

Well, the average SOCIAL I.Q., anyway...it's what Frank Zappa would have called "socially retarded." Anyway, regarding comments on the Orb, it can be summed up pretty well by some guy who works at a second-hand store (a pawn shop, if you will).... I was looking through their selection, and it was pretty much crap-- mostly so-called "alternative," 90s pop, and country. I asked him if they were currently buying used cds (I was trying to unload about 30 promos I got during the past year), and he said yes, if it was something that people were looking for. He asked me if *I* were looking for anything in particular, and I said, "Yeah, anything by the Orb, Future Sound of London, or Banco de Gaia." He responded by saying something like, "Well, I've never heard of them, so they can't be popular, and we wouldn't buy anything like that." I stated that they were, in fact, popular--everywhere else in the world, anyway. And they'll be popular in central Pennsylvania--in about ten years, which is about the time it takes for the rest of Western culture to reach us. Stupid fucker. I just walked out the store. (No, I didn't call him that or anything, but it DID cross my mind.)

What I like: ============ Orb (I've got to put them somewhere =) Jan Hammer Orbital (Just bought Snivilisation, and I can't get it out of the CD player!) Tool Nine Inch Nails (okay Trent, I've been listening to the same stuff for two years.. Where's your next album?) Yanni (NIN next to Yanni? Yep, I'm a little weird..) Enigma's "MCMXC a.D." album (the 1st one) Enya Mozart Vangelis The Police Paul Simon Peter Gabriel Dave Matthews Band Collective Soul Underworld They Might Be Giants (aww yeah!) Metallica (only the OLD stuff.. not the new crap.) a couple Daft Punk songs: "Around the World" and "Da Funk" (I just like to laugh at it!) George Carlin (no, he doesn't sing.. he's just f**king funny!!!) What I don't like: ================== country music (I live in Oklahoma, and I hate country. It's for the same reason why the people in Hershey, Pennsylvania hate chocolate.) Chemical Brothers (get that stuff away from me.. it sounds like 'techno for children') Enigma's 2nd album (b-o-r-i-n-g. . .) 99.95% of all Alternative music (it hast to be *really* good for me to like it, okay?) The New Metallica (see 'Alternative' above) Rap, Soul, G-Funk, etc.. I don't know if I like it or not: ================================= Meat Beat Manifesto (I can't get hooked on it for some reason) Aphex Twin (some of his stuff is nice, other stuff is just plain annoying) Prodigy (nice hard stuff, but it gets old and repetitive) 808 State (not bad, but it starts sounding childish after a bit) Spacetime Continuum (a little "too ambient") the Quake2 music (I expected some hard, heavy stuff.. but it sounds like a 15-year-old made it..) Enigma's 3rd album ("Beyond the Invisible" and "Shadows in Silence" are nice, but other than that, they are singing! And they stole the underlying bassline for "Why! ..." from Beck's "Loser"!! That bugs me to no end!! -- "I'm a loser, baby / so why don't you kill me" then the chanting starts.. WTF??)

Date: 22 Jan 1998 22:53:07 +0100 2 Things : * I was lurking in a great French record shop called FNAC when I heard "Back off !" like in Orb Live 93. I asked who sang this and the guy showed me the cover of a Reggae CD "The best of Johnny Osbourne". * In the last issue of Time Out, page 201, there's an offer for a cheap lunch at Beach Blanket Babylon ! (MBM remix) Orb is everywhere... And another thing IMHO: Don't do mpeg 3 CDs of Orb ! I know many stuffs from them are really hard to find, but the pleasure is also to try to find them ! I knew there was a God when I found "Aubrey mixes" in Tokyo ! Thanks to Smiley and my huntings, I found most of their back catalogs and remixes. I'm totally against the Boot CDs and self CDs unless they are live materials unreleased. If I find in Paris Orb stuff that I already have, I'll let you know. Orb should have a fan club / mail order where it could be possible to have old stuff. BTW, I tried to find the Dollshead remix, but I only found a vinyl of the track without the Orb remix.

The only problem comes from the fact that I have a HI-FI. What the hell is the use in spending a thousand pound to get a serious music system and then play your CDs through your sound card - the only possible way to do it is to get your PC to produce a digital output - but it would only be a resampled version of an analogue compression technique from a digital original - you would lose soooo much! Having said that, if you filled it with stuff that you most likely could never buy in the shops, then it would be good until you managed to track down the originals! :) Ronan FitzGerald ---------------------------- u9350276@queens-belfast.ac.uk, Belfast, N.

And I must agree with the indivi- dual who mentioned Morcheeba.... "Who Can You Trust?" (I think that's the name of the song) is an eight-minute long (I think) instrumental, which reminds me of total stoner music, circa 1978.... Mazzy Star is pretty great, too. What I've heard from the Dread Zone (is that called trip hop?) is friggin' amazing--"The Good, the Bad, and the Dread" features lots of cool samples from Sergio Leone movies, with music samples from Ennio Morricone.... Oh! And the soundtrack to Twin Peaks.... Can't forget that!!! :) Anyone heard the new Deep Forest single?

Although I agree with him about Apollo (I love when he mixes "Always Returning"), I was disappointed with the Cluster album. Reminds me of Tangerine Dream vs Eno.

Anyways, it's a Nimbus pressing, CD mint, booklet missing the page with the mail-in coupon. As I already have this CD, I'm going to try and get it into the hands of another Orb fanatic. I would prefer to trade it for something missing from my collection, and so here is my want-list: Pop stuff: Captain Sensible Happy Talk CD5 Ecstasy of St. Theresa Fluid-TranceCentauri EP Vincent Gerard & Steven Patrick (Morrissey & Vini Reily) I Know Very Well How I Got My Note Wrong (FACD 244+) Marathon Love Park CD3 Orb Perpetual Dawn CD5 (US 5-track) Roxy Music Jealous Guy CD5 Jane Siberry Sail Across the Water CD5 Slowdive Blue Day EP Hector Zazou Sahara Blue, original Sylvian-content release (COL 472 126 2) Various Artists Compilations: From Across this Grey Land #1, Projekt Homage a Duras, Interior Music/Interphon IPMTG 2 13-Year Itch, 4AD The In The City CD, Disctronics ITC94CD01 Sonora 1/1990, CD+Magazine, Materiali Sonori Factory Classical: Graham Fitkin Flak, FACD 346 Handel Recorder Sonatas (Piers Adams), FACD 376 Walter Hus Muurwerk, FACD 386 Steve Martland Crossing the Border, FACD 366 Poulenc, Britten, Hindemith, etc. Oboe and Piano (Robin Williams), FACD 236 Obviously, some of the above are extremely rare (eg. "13-year Itch" and FACD 244+), and would be a one-to-one trade for Aubrey Mixes, while others are not actually so uncommon, and would require some "sweetening" to make a good trade (eg., two-to-one trade). If you have or can get any of the above, please contact me (off-list, naturaly), and we'll try to come to an equable deal. As my ultimate aim is to complete my collection, I will give precedence to some sort of trade from the above, but failing that will anounce an auction for the CD later on.

I actually avoided buying a copy of this single when it came out since the song annoyed me, and only my completist leanings are now resulting in my desire to own a copy. Most would agree that "Aubrey Mixes" is far rarer (and simply better music) than "Perpetual Dawn", so I will have to ask that those of you wishing to trade should offer at least one other thing from the list. Should I fail to receive any such trade offers, I will set up an auction, where "Perpetual Dawn" + cash offers will be acceptable. Sorry for any confusion this has caused, and sorry for wasting bandwidth on the list.

Date: 27 Jan 1998 16:36:11 -0500 Question for anyone and everyone: It seems that there are two items which everyone goes apeshit over: Aubrey Mixes and Orbscure Trax. Now, how rare, exactly, ARE these? What *I'VE* gathered is this: Aubrey was printed and deleted the day it was released--TWICE (possibly three times). Orbscure Trax was limited to 1000 copies. If Aubrey was printed twice, I would assume that it's not as rare as Orbscure Trax.

Why don't we all just start up Geocities, Freeyellow and tripod pages, with a simple home page and use the 2Mb or so of storage given to hold Zipped up parts of the files. I assume everyone here knows how to unzip from multiple disks. This would work perfectly if we could fit a whole song onto each site but I fear people might become a little bored with that lark after about 20 zillion attempts to download part 4 of 6 zip files for their favourite song which just won't download properly. What are the possiblities of turning it semi-commercial? i.e. everyone contributes a small amount to the cost and we issue passwords to all those who contribute. We could even make some profit and use it to buy small gifts for the band, asking Monsieur Smiley to pass them on when he gets a chance. Think about it: A furry teddy-bear one month, a Mickey mouse phone the next.....:) I know if it was me, I'd appreciate it!

As long as I keep my job (and I don't see myself changing for quite a long time), I will have the space avail....and perhaps more now that we (my employer) have upgraded our network connection from 56k to burstable T1 :) So, let me know if I can be of any help.... Also, is anyone on the list willing go dub some of the rarer Orb stuff? I don't have much to offer, only like 2 tapes ya all would be intrested in, so 2:1 are probably a better route....let me know via email, I'd really, really appreciate it.. # 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: dan@americaneagle.com (Dan LeBoeuf) Subject: (orb) Dumbfounded Date: 28 Jan 1998 10:52:21 -0600 I just listened to the Live Toxygene... and they have a theme song at = the end.

Date: 29 Jan 1998 10:04:53 GMT mornin' all! went to the studio for a couple of hours last night, and hung out with Andy, Fil, and JC (of this list)...we just missed LX, as he'd gone off to see Chelsea lose to Arsenal in the football. not a great deal of new info, but i found out that: a. the 'skinny puppy' remix isn't happening, as they couldn't get a track they wanted to do, plus it looks like a 'rip off' remix thing by Nettwork Records as SP are/have changed labels. b. getting the U2 remix back is still in negotiation (in fact there's a meeting at island about it today). still don't know if it'll come out as on orb remix, or an actual orb track, yet. c. the Prong remix came about via a guy that Fil used to work with in Killing Joke. he had a saying about '...it's like being kicked in the head with a velvet doc marten.' hence the remix titles.... d. '72' was originally called 'eros', and andy said the _whole_ track is called '72', not just the sample before the silence. the silence was put in to make the cd exactly 72 minutes long, but the mastering plant f****d up the PQ times, so the cd came out at 72m02s or something. i THINK he was serious... e. yesterday was the first day that they'd had ALL their equipment together and up and running, and they were working on a track that afternoon, and were playing around with it while we were there. so that was pretty cool, seeing how a track mutates over time, adding bits here, messing around with samples and stuff - no track names or anything, but it sounded pretty good, quite hard sounding. i'll have to work on andy to let me have some samples of stuff when there are some finished tracks, so i can post them for your perusal.....but don't get your hopes up. so there we go. hope that was of interest to some of you all. oh, and finally, CONGRATULATIONS to andy and his girlfriend, as they are expecting a new addition to the family...so he's obviously not spending enough time in the studio! ;-) l8rs. -- Smiley # 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: Re: (orb) latest orb news direct from the studio...

I don't understand exactly what you mean by 'rip off' remix thing. I wonder which SP Andy and LX wanted to get? I think cEvin, and maybe "Philth" Western and Anthony Valcic should go ahead and do they're own remix album (if it's not too much of a legal hassle with Nettwerk).

False. SP is still with nettwerk, in a weird sorta way.. cEvin key has started up his own label, subConscious communications, and has been releasing all the platEAU, Download, SP, Tear Garden, etc.. stuff through that label... He's currently working with Nettwerk for the distribution, and from the interviews that i've seen with him, he likes nettwerk and is going to stay there.. Offbeat and cleopatra have also released some of cEvin's stuff, but just on an individual cd basis... :) It would be extremely cool if the orb did an SP remix, but o well :) cL. # 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 Shah Subject: (orb) Redhat Orb Date: 30 Jan 1998 13:55:38 -0800 Heya Orbies, Just a little FYI for you UNIX folks out there -- in the latest Redhat Linux Unleashed 2nd Ed. book, check out the FTP Server Setup chapter on page 142. Here is the excerpt: [...] The alias command allows you to define directory aliases for your FTP clients. They are acticated when the clients use the cd command and specify the alias. This capability is useful to provide shortcuts to often requested files. The format of the command is alias where is the actual directory the users should be transferred to. The following is an example of this command: alias orb_discography /pub/music/ambient/orb_discography Hence, if the clients connect and use the command cd orb_discography, they are automatically moved to the /pub/music/ambient/orb_discography directory, regardless of their current location. -Steve -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Steve Shah (sshah@cs.ucr.edu) | SysAdmin/Coder/Gabbernaut/DJ/Writer/Minister http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~sshah | We're not dropping out, we're infiltrating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life is best measured in beats per minute.

I got this off the Pollstar site---I found this in their "Gigs & Bites" section "The Recording Industry Of America chalked up a major victory against online music piracy last week when it settled three separate lawsuits against keepers of MP3 archive sites that allowed users to download near-CD quality songs. The court-ordered agreement requires the site operators to be good netizens by not making anymore copyrighted material available for download. Actually, the operators really didn't have a choice -- the alternative was to pay a $100,000 fine for each infringement, which would have totalled more than $1 million. Instead, the RIAA accepted the operators' word that it wouldn't happen again and agreed to forgo the fines. But the RIAA did warn the offenders that they wouldn't be so "nice" if they run into the same situation again." Can you believe that? I wonder what sites they were. Does anyone know?
