The "dance" music I'd been exposed to before 1992 was basically of the New Wave/techno-pop genre (Erasure, New Order, Depeche Mode in their late 80s/early 90s phases), and I wasn't much into that stuff, though I did like a few things along those lines (and I'd *loved* early 80s New Wave way back when). Mostly, I was into electronics/synthesizers as used in "prog-rock" stuff (Yes, Pink Floyd) and in purely electronic "space-out" music (Tangerine Dream). The Orb (and particularly "A Huge Ever Growing Brain" off Adventures) really turned everything around for me. Techno in general has turned me into a CD-buying maniac, and has gotten me seriously into using electronics to make music (particularly the IDM kinda thing). And btw, I'm also 27.

This is *way* off topic for the Orb list, but I had to add a small comment: Ever notice that Orbital sampled the 'sung' sound of the Martian laser cannons from this record for their track "Oolaa" off the first album? I love the way they did this, and think it's one of the best examples I've heard of a somewhat musically-abstract sample from another record used as the foundation for a new track.

However, the Orb is the one group that I have continually followed beyond all others. I don't consider the Orb electronic, ambient, dance, trance or whatever - I consider them GENIUS - a magical blend of all genres (including symphony) that surpasses and probably will continue to surpass all other artists combined. The Orb has exposed me to other good music like System 7, Sabres of Paradise, Aphex Twin etc., but I don't listen to any of it because it's in a certain "genre". There's my two cents!

That's one of the reasons I GOT the Orb the second I heard them. My first memories of actually realizing "this is the type of music I like" was hearing Skinny Puppy, Cabaret Voltaire, Severed Heads etc... (even Moev) I grew up on purely electronic experimental stuff like that. Old 80's Industrial stuff was very often just another form of Ambient music. There weren't any obvious Rock guitars and junk like that. It was just weird analog sounds and distorted samples, much like the Orb. >Oh and by the way, industrial music is dead. Oh. I'd say it still lives on (in a more modern form) in Richard D. James, Autechre and cEvin Key. I just wish KMFDM would go away. Ever hear Download/platEAU ? Now that the Skinny Puppy Remix thing isn't happening, I wish The Orb would remix something for Download.

I heard that all materials have been destroyed and there has been an agreement that Orb would never release it. The plate as it is is either a glass master or the Father/Sone plate for pressing a cd I assume. Usually if they are in good shape, you can take them to a replication plant. I know of a few that would do this.. The only thing that is really questionable about this is, if you start making CD's of this and sell or distribute them, U2 would probably come down on whoever does it, and sue the living daylights out of them.

Esp. when it's being discussed on an international mailing list. ;) Even if Bono himself didn't give a rat's ass, his lawyers would be all over this because of all the money that could be made from the U2 fans. (The Orb fans would be a neglegable amount of money by comparison...) Besides, for all we know, U2 may have had artistic gripes about the result.

The original poster was just asking about converting the .mp3 files to something that could be made into a normal Audio CD, not Digital Audio Extraction and making copies of "actual" Audio CDs (which YES, as you say, works much better on a SCSI CD-ROM drive). The actual conversion from .mp3 to .wav, which can then be coverted to a CD-Audio track with the software that usually comes with a CD-R drive, is all done on the hard drive, so it doesn't matter if you equipment is SCSI or EIDE. Of course SCSI CD-R drives are usually better that EIDE, so it's worth getting a SCSI controler so you can use these devices. # 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: Don Gagen Subject: RE: (orb) No Fun Date: 04 Mar 1998 11:08:30 -0600 does everyone dislike "No Fun" I think it is great, not that I think the orb should do an album like that or something......it's really a lot of fun and it still sounded identifiably like the orb...and was most appropriate for the peel sessions....I was not on the list when this came out and I am curious as to what the general feeling on this one is..............

Well, the Togygene (Live Vegas Mix) is cool, but I was a bit disappointed about the Pal Joey remix of Little Fluffy Clouds because it is just a edited version of the version which was released on the Aubrey Mixes CD ;-(. Anyway, a nice CD.... But did anyone else mentione, that Island US used the Asylum cover instead of the normal Togygene cover for this US release...

What a dub-plate (Aka acetate) is is what you see the DJ's spinning before a full release of the 12" in question. Usually made to test the waters. They do degrade with each play because of the material used, and only have a limited shelf life because of that. Acetates are tricky. I have no idea what the life span is on these, but you could guarantee that the first time I played it would also be the last. It would go straight to DAT or WAV. I have contacted the owner and I have gotten no response thus far. Hopefully they are not sold. How long has the auction been going on?

I'd been listening to it for a few years, and was ready to start listening to something else.. all the time I'd been listening to "gangsta rap", though, the main thing that atttacted me was the beats and grooves, etc, rather than the lyrics.. though I did listen to the lyrics.. Anyway, a friend of mine introduced me to Art of Noise and The Orb.. He put them in one day when we were riding around in his car, and soon after I wanted to borrow his CDs so that I could copy them (he had In Visible Silence and Who's Afraid by AON and Pomme Fritz & Orbus Terrarum by The Orb)... well, I did, and soon after I became a pretty avid listener of both groups... by the end of 1996, I bought a copy of u.f.orb and Ambient Collection for myself, and over the course of 1997, I picked up most Orb and AON releases (non-rare ones), and this year I finally picked up a CD copy of those Art of Noise and Orb albums that I copied off my friend back in 1996.. And, I'm 19.. And while I do listen to/watch MTV and M2 sometimes (generally, I dont like "MTV music". but sometimes they play something decent), and a lot of the "techno/ambient/electronic" groups that I listen to are ones that I was introduced to on MTV's AMP, I generally wasnt introduced to stuff by "regular" MTV.. # 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: "Charles Kerr" Subject: Re: (orb) Date: Wed, 4 Mar 1998 15:50:22 -0600 Date: 04 Mar 1998 17:52:00 -0600 >I am more than interested in the U2 / Orb remix if it seems to be up to par. >I completely agree with the prior feelings on testing the waters before money become allocated. >Whoever would like to take charge of doing this, please keep contact with us. >And hell... if Orb won't be making money off this, U2 can seriously kiss MY ass. >They have enough propaganda to be considered in getting a rare item like this.

Date: 05 Mar 1998 11:29:23 EST I'm 27 and my first Orb experience was unusual... About 4 years ago I was flying back to Sydney, Australia (where I live) from the East Coast of the US. I had a 10hour stopover in LA. Rather than bumming round the airport I took a cab to a large nearby shopping mall recommended by the taxi dispatcher. I was idly wandering through a fairly stylish homewares shop when some unusual sounds caught my ear from the in-store CD player. The first track finished and the second began. I asked the sales assistant what it was - she showed me the 2CD UFOrb. I went straight upstairs to a small record shop and bought a copy for US$12 - I haven't seen the 2CD since! I have a lot to thank that taxi dispatcher for... What I had heard in the shop was Blue Room and Assassin off the second CD. UFOrb remains my fave Orb CD, with Majestic my fave track. I regularly drive out to the country and my UFOrb tape is a frequent companion. A couple of weeks ago, I had an interesting Orb experience - I had been sleeping out in the open at a bush campsite, and was woken by the sound of kookaburras laughing. After breakfast, hopped in the car and put in UFOrb...which was just at the beginning of Majestic with those darned kookaburras again. The Orb gets virtually nil airplay here in Australia - aside from Toxygene a couple of times when it came out I have heard very little... Oh, and I never have nor will watch MTV. Barely anyone here seems to have heard of the Orb, but two British people who I've recently given lifts to have eagerly pounced on that UFOrb tape... I have a lot to thank that LA taxi dispatcher for.

I agree... I've been watching AMP for just about a year now, though unfortunately I feel like AMP has very quickly gone downhill in quality the last few months.. playing much more silly dance music, etc.. Thats one thing thats good about MTV's new channel, M2.. M2 seems to play quite a bit of the stuff played on AMP.. of course, its mixed in with various other stuff, but often times M2 plays blocks of certain genres, so you can see a bunch of AMP-type videos all at once.. (though, I've yet to see the best AMP video/song on M2 - "3/10th of the population" by We) # 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: hostile@starnetinc.com Subject: Re: (orb) MPG3 ---> CD (probably covered before but...)

It has made perfect copies everytime except when I didn't warm the drive up. I have copied and backed up cd roms, audio cds, and contrary to belief even playstation games. I think the real thing that people forget about CDRs is the type/quality of the blank. I use either Sony or Kodak and I believe they are the best because I haven't experienced any problems with them. If anyone is considering buying a drive talk to me because I researched them all. hope this helps peace. # 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: hostile@starnetinc.com Subject: (orb) everything Date: 04 Mar 1998 23:35:01 -0600 Finally this list has picked up a little. 35 new messages today---my heart be still!!

I know mine is legit because I bought it when it originally came out, including the bonus CD. At any rate, I wouldn't be surprised if they contracted with a US company to make the NTSC version of the video. The store might very well have marked it as an "import" because they got it from a foreign distributor, or because they were confused (like this never happens). The point is, yours very well could be legit, as well as the original poster's.

Negativeland put out an album called "U2"...and made it appear to be a single BY U2 called "Negativeland"! Anyway, the song was "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" played (stupidly) on kazoo and synthesizer (per a record guide--forget the name (don't sue me!)), and featured samples of Casey Kasem (a U.S. dj--trivia: he ALSO is the voice for "Shaggy" on the Scooby Doo cartoons!) saying something about U2, something like, "They're this stuipd band from Ireland, and they don't mean diddly shit to me!" or something like that. Well, a "shitstorm of legal trouble" is what was described as what followed. The album was immediately pulled, and all sorts of other unpleasant things happened.

Technically, of all the remixes of "Numb" that were promoed (I can think of at least four), only one was ever released commercially. The Perfecto and EBN remixes were only available as promos (though you could get the EBN one by recording from the videocassette), and two other remixes (one called "Gimme Some More Dignity Mix," I forget who did it, and the other being the Soul Assassins remix) appeared on their fan-club CD "Melon." The Soul Assassins remix was later released commecrially on a CD commemorating 104.9 XFM in England, and more recently on the "Last Night On Earth" CD-singles, but apart from that, no mixes of the song had been released commercially at all.

One of the problems with the U2 album is actually due to the person who did the artwork for the "record" (this was back when you could still buy vynil). The original artwork was the image of the bomber/aircraft with U.2.. That probably would not have gotten them so much attention. The band and the artist just decided that taking out the DOTS between the letters looked better. The problem now was that it was confusing people into thinking it was a U2 album. Of course there was still problems with the music, but the artwork was a big contributing factor.

Yup. I have the MELON CD. Trak 3 - NUMB (Gimme Some More Dignity Mix) Remixed by Rolo and Rob D Trak 6 - NUMB (The Soul Assasins Mix) Remixed by Soul Assasins Nick Angel at Island just describes it as a real dark Hip-Hop mix of Numb with DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill. Have you noticed that anything that's not exactly Cypress Hill all the way ends up being called the "Soul Assasins Mix". I'm not sure if he was referring to the ORB remix or not, but Nick did mention this about another NUMB remix that was made. "Another (mix of Numb), perhaps because the remixers interpreted their breif a shade liberally, didn't make the cut." The Rolo mix was made just because they wanted a more trancey version. ******************************************************* * 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: toxygene@juno.com Subject: (orb) Ages Date: 05 Mar 1998 15:16:17 -0800 I've been a lurker for over a year now.

Sean If it's the same commercial that I saw the sample and the song are from the new Crystal Method album. You can find those old NASA samples all over KLF and early Orb material as well many other bands not worth mentioning. The funny thing about the song Roman P. in the VW commercial, is that it's about Roman Polanski the director who raped a 13 year old girl. He fled the US before he was sentenced and has been a fugitive ever since. The funny thing is that Genisis P. Orrige (spelling?) the key member of Psychic TV has been rumored to have the same fetish for "young" women. I have heard that is why he left the UK and has taken residence in the US.

It ALSO seems that there are samples taken from the version of "Ride of the Valkyries" (Die Walkurie--Richard Wagner) done by Tomita...Tomita's version is ultra-slow.... Another sample of Tomita's music is on FSOL's _Lifeforms_ album. Specifically, Tomita's album _Bermuda Triangle_ is sampled left and right on that FSOL album. Does anyone out there actually have that Tomita album? It is no longer in print in the U.S.--I have an old vinyl version (clear blue)...it's one of my favorite Tomita records.... I have his entire in-print catalog. I'm looking for it on cd.... I'm also looking for his version of Grofe's _Grand Canyon Suite_.... _Bermuda Triangle_, by-the-way, is mostly electronic realizations of Prokofiev.... It was the very first (and probably ONLY) album ever recorded in PENTAphonic sound.... It was to be listened to in normal quad, with the fifth speaker suspended above--like a pyramid.... Problem is: no record player was ever designed to play something like that, so all the versions were released either in in stereo or quad. Oh well....

If you're an orb fan, you'll love Bass-o-matic. i also recommend his ambient/classical album which was deleted the day it was released. This stuff is a must for any orb fan, tons of ambient/trip hop interpretations of classical music. Great stuff, if you can't find it, I'll copy it for anyone who wants it.

What I actually meant about "No Fun" above (1st quote) was that, for me at least, it sounds like a very 'do-able' piece, meaning that it's not an unbelievably amazing mix, just a fun take on an old fave of theirs (presumably it's a fave...). The "Live Vegas Mix" also doesn't sound too fantastic, especially compared with live stuff on "Live 93" or even to the somewhat muddy live stuff on the "Dipping in the Cyberworld" boot. In contrast, when I listen to studio tracks like "Delta Mk II" or "Plateau" or something really well-mixed and produced, and I'm listening from the standpoint of "how would I try to make a recording that sounds like that, using the kinds of studio gear I'm familiar with (sampers, synths, processors, mixing console, etc.)?" I'm just baffled by a lot of their material. "Oxbow Lakes" and "Blue Room" and the like are just so damned complicated from a production standpoint that it makes me almost want to throw up my hands and say "Good grief!" (a-la Charlie Brown) "How the hell am I going to learn to do that?!" "No Fun" and the "Vegas" mix don't make me feel this way, as I think they're fine pieces but not especially brilliant as far as mixing and production goes. In other words, I could maybe get a handle on doing something at that level, probably...at least I'm working on it. ;-) See what I'm sayin'? Neil Hetrick nhetrick@idsonline.com onnow: "Rose Tinted (Dal Vivo al Roma)" [Now THIS is a gorgeous mix.] pps - now that I think of it, I'd say that even "No Fun" is better than the "Vegas" mix, and I should probably also add that I ADORE "Pomme Fritz" (BRILLIANT mixing on that one) from start to finish.... # 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: nhetrick Subject: Re: (orb) Ages....

You see, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. On the list I've seen recent talk about the Orb putting out a 2nd "Auntie Aubreys" type remix disc. Which I'm looking very foward to if it falls through. The first one was complete bliss.....with the exception of a few tracks. Well, recently I've been tempted to buy the bootleg remix albums "Icons of the Orb" and "Morphology." But at the same time I'm a little hesitant. It would be a real bummer to buy these discs, which I haven't seen priced less than 25 bucks, only to have the same tracks reappear on the new Auntie Aubrey disc/s. And I know the new Auntie Aubrey would be priced no more than 25-30 bucks. See where I'm getting at?? Either spend close to 50 bucks for the quick fix of the remixes on the bootlegs. Or wait to see which tracks will be on the new Auntie Aubrey when it comes out. Are there any hints to which remixes will be on the new AA? Smiley said something about working to get the U2 numb mix on there.....but any others know yet? Please help a fellow "smoker" with an expensive habit out. Thanks.....

Will someone be my friend? : ) Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knows who did the remix work on the "Unidentified..." bootleg?

His collaboration with Eno, "Spinner", is pretty darn good - fairly dark, ambient tracks. Eno hadned over a number of minimal synth lines from his score for Derek Jarman's "The Gold Bug" to Wobble, who did whatever he wanted over the top - sometimes not much at all, sometimes changing them completely. Orbies would probably be most likely to enjoy this album.

If there's anybody out there who hasn't picked up Original Fire, logoff and go to your record store now. The rest of the songs are decent, Helter Skelter '97 is incredible, but the CD is worth getting just for Radio Babylon. As far as remix suggestions, there's a whole bunch, just to see styles clash, like Aphex Twin and Autechre, or something like that. Someone mentioned David Bowie's Space Oddity which is a great pick. Others mentioned some Beatles' songs, I'd choose Strawberry Fields Forever. (But then Lx would have to knock on Michael Jackson's door in order to get the rights, which may be interesting. ;) Another pick: The End by the Doors. _________________________________________________________ Joseph Jun Graduate Student Deptartment of Physics, Univ. of Ill.

I found it very odd that the Gong and Can remix albums came out quite closely to each other and I noticed (at least in my opinion) that on the Gong album, the System 7 mix is superb and the Orb one poor; and on the Can album, the Orb mix is exceptional but the system 7 one is poor! Just seems odd. Having said that, I wouldn't skip the orb track on the CD cause it still grooves in that luvely orby way but I don't think the guys put a big enough stamp on it. All they seemed to do was put it through some sort of CoolEdit Batch processing thing and come out with an Orb sounding track....sort of like the way Pink Floyd did Division Bell - they just produced a Pink Floyd sounding album. On a completely different topic though, does anyone know how I could possibly get a message to Andy Weatherall. He does a monthly residency here at my local university, and I really want him to play some Coil/Orb/Download/Scorn and other juicy stuff. I know the crowd would hate it, but all he has to do is play them when the lights come on! It would make me and my mates (and probably some other fans in the audience) so happy. And it beats the shit out of finishing the night by slowing the record down or just fading the music out! Plus, I would love him to organise a get together on the stage; a live performance by Mick Harris (Drums and samples), Bill Laswell (Bass and more bass), James Plotkin (Guitar and effects), Franz Treichler (vocals and guitar) and Andy Weatherall (mix and decks). Oh how happy I would be!!! Sorry, ranting again. Ronan FitzGerald ---------------------------- u9350276@queens-belfast.ac.uk, Belfast, N.

Similar to the font of the Past "Big Top" tour in the US for electronic music. Has anyone else seen this? Kind of off the subject but the New Maddona CD is unbelievable---the tracks are done with William Orbit. I actually believe that the music is more His than hers--Everyone should check it out. Another question I had was I need Dan LeBoeuf to give the Ip addres again because my computer crashed and lost a lot of stuff. I have some mp3's to upload for everyone to enjoy.

Date: 17 Mar 1998 20:08:20 -0600 As Ola's song says, "It's taken me my whole life to get here.", I realize= It really almost feels like that. About a year ago, on this list, I believe= it was Danjel van Tijn (sad not to see any of your work subitted) that mentioned that a compilation of list members music should be put together. A few others agreed, and I volunteered to do the dirty work. Many delays and problems later, I finally was able to put it all together and sent it off to get pressed. I was very surprised in the variety of styles I received. Although they were all very different from each other, they all showed our shared influence in the Orb. The work here is all great and original. And the artwork is really cool to boot. Now I'm Proud to say that the Discs are Finised being pressed and I have = an Official Release Date Tuesday March 24th! I would like to thanks all the Artists who submitted thier work. Ola R=F8er Thorsen There Square Delusions of Reference Sil=F6en Apollo dj. Batman the AKIRA project Transistor 6 My Many Visions and Fears Thanks, you all did great work. Special thanks to Steve Branson, and Rachel for thier putting together th= e cover art. Thanks to Danjel van Tijn for getting this started. And very special thanks to Lazlo Nibble for keeping up such a wonderful a= nd friendly mailing list. And of course, this would have never happend if the Orb didn't make such wonderful music. Now down to the details. The CD will be available directly through Spind= le Productions. We are currently working on getting distribution through CD= Now and Caroline. Local Chicago Stores will also be carrying it (Chicagoans, write for a list of stores). If any of the list members know of a record store that would like to sell it, please let me know. The CD will sell f= or $10. If you are interested in ordering directly through Spindle Productions, please e-mail me. Thanks again, and for all those who do get it, I hope you enjoy it!

I wish some of these bands would play over here, but even the ORB themselves refuse - I must admit it probably isn't financially viable really, but I can still hope!!! Actually though, Neurosis (Tribes of Neurot) did play here about 6 months ago and they were astounding, they were the first hard act to play here in ages and did it with style. So much so that I felt obliged to steal a handful of the Tribes of Neurot promo-CDs they had on offer. Great stuff. I got a lot of CDs that night if I remember, but it was the start of the night and that cardboard cover on them promo jobbies got soaked in my pocket after a night of head-banging and body-shaking. The other big attractions there though would have to be PigFace who are excellent - mainly for their varied and cultured collection of maniacs; plus FM Einheit - I have yet to hear the Ende Neu stuff with the shrunken E.N. band! Oh belfast....what a shite whole! BTW, if any of you know any big bands, tell them to stay away from a place in Belfast called "The Front Page". In the space of a month, they had Autechre, U-Ziq (sorry no greek characters on my e-mailer) and Luke Vibert (DJ Wagonchrist, PLUG, etc..) all play in what has to be the crappest bar I have ever had the displeasure of visiting. I attended the Autechre, who played two songs then left the building, probably due to the PA (in house amp and a couple of 20 year old speakers) which wasn't working properly. A friend of mine had to keep attacking the speaker hanging above us in our corner of the weeeee bar just to keep the sound from breaking up. What a disaster, I don't even want to think what happened to the U-Ziq and Luke Vibert gigs! Having said that though, (ADVERTISEMENT) the new sound system in the Students Union here is absurdly good!

I also ordered the Blue room single when it was in stock, but to no avail. The invoice said it was out of stock. Anyway, when my wife told me at work that the cd's had arrived she told me that both looked as if they had been used. That got me pissed. I wasn't about to pay $45.00 for used cds, especially if they come from a provider with a list as long as Lakeshores. When I got home and called them I spoke to a fellow Orbster. She said that she was an Orb fan and that its common because the cds are out of print and the owner had to go to England to buy them. Anyway, I'm still happy with my purchase, and hope soon to have that always elusive Blue room (been loking for over 5 years now).

These are the same people someone posted about awhile ago saying that they had the Patterns and Textures video. Well, they do, although their service can best be described as "unhurried". The video iteself is clearly a bootleg, although the quality of the video and audio is certainly acceptable.

The best program I have found for playing with samples was Soundforge4 and CubaseVST, Soundforge is great I used that and a couple of other little bits for some of the tracks on Holli's FTP site, don't get me wrong I'm no LX but by looping a simple bass line and then adding little bits of background noise and samples of Leftfield and the like some of the effects are really cool. I started one @ weekend with the Close Encounters Soundtrack, Backside of the Moon and Reefer Spin in the Galaxy, ran out of HD in the end though so I'll have to try again when I've upgraded a bit.

I was there and although it didn't quite top Orb/Sun Electric or Coldcut/DJ Food/Kid Koala (in the same venue), it was definitely third after those two in my book... amazing show... perhaps most impressive was that I was stone convinced that that show was *all* live, nothing canned. Blew me away. Sorry for the off-topic wandering, but to add some Orb content, I'm seriously jonesing for another visit to Chicago, preferably at the Metro again, and preferably with the pyramid stage set. That last show there with Sun Electric was for me a near-religious experience. I honestly don't know whether anything will ever top it, even another Orb performance...

These tunes are by a man of the name Ennio Morricone. He has composed *many* of the tunes you hear in western films and such.

Thought I'd mention this tidbit, although though it's not truly Orb-related. But, Orb fans tend to like similar groups, etc. So.... Last night, Ann Dudley won an Academy Award (aka, and Oscar) for Best Original Score, or something like that. Ann Dudley, of course, is better known as The Art of Noise. She also won a Grammy Award for "Peter Gunn" (along with Duane Eddy and her co-conspirator in the Art of Noise) back in 1986, I think. Oh, the movie was The Full Monty, I think. The expression on that the face of the actress from Titanic was priceless when SHE didn't win, and Helen Hunt did! (Sorry, I digress....) Whatever happened to the Art of Noise? It seems that NOW would be the time for a group like that to be around. I mean, Yello is still around, right? --Vince p.s.

I checked into what each of the former members are doing, it seems like Ann Dudley is the most active member- like you said she's responsible for the Soundtrack to the "Full Monty", as well as being credited (or discredited-depending on how you want to look at it) with string arrangements for the Spice Girls "Spiceworld", and Elton John's "Big Picture". Jay Jeczalik produced an album called "Northern Exposure 2" by DJ's Sasha and Digweed (never heard of either) but the album is supposed to be great if you're into "electronica". He's also produced a single for Frankie Goes to Hollywood which I think came out earlier this year. The other official member is Gary Lanagan, and I have no idea what he's doing. The biggest news I uncovered was that AON apparently released a single in '95 on China records entitled "Yebo". I don't know if it was ever released in the US, I've never heard anything about it before today. A side note, AON's "Ambient Collection" is an amazing remix album done by Youth and none other than Alex Patterson. ---------- Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 1998 10:15 AM Whatever happened to the Art of Noise?

Does any one remember when "alternative" meant "creative" or "innovative" or at least "interesting"? It's like that Seal remake of Fly Like an Eagle by the Steve Miller Band: it sounds like it, but there's no soul.... At least when Devo, the Cramps, and the Dead Kennedys did remakes, they made them sound even better. With Devo, they redid: Working in the Coal Mine, Satisfaction, Secret Agent Man, and Are You Experienced? The Dead Kennedys did wonderful "remakes" of I Fought the Law, Rawhide, and Viva Las Vegas. The Cramps did better-than-the-original versions of Goo Goo Muck, Rockin' Bones, Muleskinner Blues, Bop Pills, Green Door, Tear it Up, Route 66, Her Love Rubbed Off, and countless others. And at least when the Orb and KLF sample stuff (technically remakes, I guess), it's done in a creative manner. But I was talking Orb list member off-list about remakes, specifically Joy Division and New Order remakes. Nine Inch Nails did a less-than-adequate remake of Joy Division's "Dead Souls," and was featured on the Crow soundtrack. New Order's "In a lonely Place" was covered (abysmally) by another group on the Crow: City of Angels soundtrack .... BUT, speaking of Joy Division remakes, check out the Joy Division tribute album, half of the songs on which suck, but the other half make it worth while. The highlight: Moby's doom 'n' gloom remake of "New Dawn Fades," one of the most powerful Joy Division songs.... It's even more depressing than the original (this is a GOOD thing!). Hey, if Moby can do it, why not the Orb? Maybe an Orb vs. Joy Division project. Or an Orb cover of Gothic songs in general: Orb Goes to Hell, or something like that. Maybe a track from Bauhaus...Hollow Hills would lend itself nicely, or All We Ever Wanted Was Everything.... Party of the First Part, for that matter.... --Vincent p.s.

I don't know what happened to it, but it's not up any more. He had two singles, West 4 and Teach Me, and the album artofsilence.co.uk. It was pretty good stuff, more dancefloor-friendly than AoN. Make of this page what you will: http://www.ztt.com/artintro.html Trevor Horn only had a part in the first album, Who's Afraid of AoN (well, Into Battle too, if you count it) From what I've read the rest of the gang didn't get along too well with Trevor, but I like him and hope they all get back together. =) Another interesting thing Trevor and JJ did is the Godley and Creme remix album, there's some very AoN sounding stuff on there. For those looking for the Orb connection... AoN's "Ambient Collection" was mixed by Youth, who did some stuff with the Orb and System 7. I was also a big fan of AoN, and when I finally got a CD player in the early 90's I bought all their albums, and a friend on the 'net suggested other similar CDs, like 808 State, Aphex Twin, and the ORB!

As I recall, Trevor had a few moments of fame in recent times when he was involved in a lawsuit with Frankie Goes to Hollywood. I think he (and Frankie's management) were suing Frankie for amounts they claimed they were owed by Frankie. Frankie claimed Horn et al hadn't done much for them. Horn et al claimed that Frankie was a struggling fringe band until given the proper production and marketing necessary to survive. Horn et al won the case and got their money. On the news, they showed some of the evidence presented in the case - the video of "Relax" before and after Trevor had a go at remixing it for public consumption. The differences were staggering.

I've also been informed that they make their own cd complilations where they put rare songs on; I'd say this is copyright infringement to the max. As far as the "Patterns and Textures" video, the owner borrowed the original from my friend and then went right ahead and taped it; now he is selling it for $35 f@$#ing dollars! This guy is a total greedy bastard and I can't wait until the Feds storm the place and bring him up on copyright infringement charges. I will never buy another cd from Lakeshore record Exchange and I urge everyone else to do likewise.

Whenever a place advertises rarities or promos I assume that they are used, but even given that leeway, the stuff I've received from them has been more than acceptable: no torn covers, broken cases, scratched CDs or anything else untoward. Their prices on a lot of things are high, but their prices on a lot of other things are perfectly reasonable. I've never waited more than a week for merchandise from them.

I had only been listening to the Orb for a few weeks (Aubrey Mixes was my first). Anyway I noticed this guy behind me with an Orb T-shirt on and mentioned my recent purchase, and he said "oh good, the Orb are really nice people" and smiled. I thought nothing of it really, until about a couple of months later, I saw a magazine with a review of UFOrb and an interview with the band. So naturally I bought it there and then and how did I see but the same bloke who was on the bus :-) And did I feel a wally Steve Couple of questions................ 1). Who wants the Orb to do another Aubrey Mix CD of there own work? 2).

I could use a lot of words to describe _Orbus_Terrarum_, but "sparse" is most definitely not one of them. Not only are many of the tracks texturally dense in themselves (cf "Montagne D'Or"), but the album is very rich stylistically as well. I like it because it seems more raw and dirty than the other recordings. Frankly, I'm rather happy that they're not remaking "Blue Room" over and over, though I will admit that sometimes _Orbus_ treads slowly under its own weight. I haven't been unhappy with any of the choices Alex & co. have made with their recordings. Not only have they all been of very high quality, they all come at you from different directions and you always hear new things every time you listen. Not many artists can you say that about. -- Adam J Weitzman, NewsEdge Corp. --- http://www.newsedge.com -- "It appears that, after years of stalling, this nation really and truly will have meaningful campaign-finance reform, just as soon as we establish a viable trout farm on Jupiter." - Dave Barry # 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 Wolfe" Subject: Re: (orb) ultraworld & uforb Date: 26 Mar 1998 16:00:11 -0600 >Same here.

The most dense Orb album I believe is Orbus Terrarum. There is so much going on in there! Every time I listen to it, it's still so fresh, because a different layer becomes more aparrent. I actually would like to hear more of this. I was quite disappointed to see them live on thier last tour compared to the Happy Happy Joy Joy Tour. I mean, it was still great, but seing a whole live band up there, doing all kinds of things was certainly more mind-blowing than just alex and andy up there doing there stuff... Toxygene is very good but I think it's a step in the wrong direction. I think they went with a more safe approach to it than the way they were heading. I mean a lot of the songs, are really good (Pi and Molten love being my favs on that album) but they never build like OT. They Never Explode Like OT. Well..

I measure the "textural thickness" of a piece of music by the degree to which it's layers *interact* with each other both harmonically and rhythmically . Granted, in this genre of music there is not much of this interaction to begin with ( what are there like 2 chords in "Little Fluffy Clouds"? I think its a basic 1-4 iteration. ), but on a relative scale an album like Orbus scores low. Orbus reminds me of a "soundscape image" of Earth taken from way up in the atmosphere; as if the earth were comprised of sonic layers that "bubbled" into each other. Of course, the "image" is captured from a high altitude so the interaction of the layers is sublime. Or maybe I've simply been duped by the "...more straight ahead drumloops and beats and such..." of Ultraworld and UFOrb, and the earlier albums are simply more "in your face." Whatever the case may be, I find myself putting the earlier stuff into the cd player more frequently than Orbus.

It's always great to have new mixes of tracks (like Orbscure Trax with the fabulous Bedouin The Sheiks- BTW, I'd loooove to have another mix of Secrets), but I really only adore two tracks (actually 3, but 2 of them are one and the same) in Aubrey mixes : Youth's Spanish castles in space remixes, and Hillage's Backside of the moon. You can't say to an artist to be still the same : he has to change, he has to do his own thing. Although I'd like to see another Orb concerts with live musicians, I can't wait to see Le Petit Orb doing their new stuff. My opinion is that there's two Orb : one with Thrash, the other one with Andy Hughes. I may be wrong, but I think LX is only there to add samples and think about concepts (which is OK and important too). Thrash before and Andy now are the true musicians of the Orb. So I hope (and I'm sure I won't be disappointed) that their new album in 98' will surprise me. Another thing. I consider some of their remixes as important as their own tracks : Democracy (Tundra mix), Rick Wright remixes are really new songs...

Terrarum to me is a good album but there is no journey as such, listen to Ultraworld, Blue Room and your mind can wonder and you literally travel with Terrarum its to Earthy and I have never managed to fall into as with their other works. Orblivion was good but I felt that it was an e.p with a single bolted on for good measure. I like Toxygene but for me it just didn't fit in well. What I would like to hear from the Orb is a monster, masterpiece, go for the 3cd full monty that Ultraworld should have been. Break some rules again and take us on a journey. My favorite Orb recording at the moment and I can think of at least one person who would back me up on this is Pattern & Textures that for me is a remarkable reworking of Ultraworld, its just too short.

If I had one point I was trying to make, it would be there is a qualitative difference between the earlier and later stuff that allows me to toss Ultraworld and UFOrb into one bucket, and Pomme and Orbus into another ( singles, re-mixes, live, and peel sessions aside ). Those "easy relationship with both music and sound" are very appealing and placid; however the excessive and traditionally unrelated sonic layers of Orbus are extremely monotonous to me. I guess Ultra-UFOrb represents a goof balance of ambiance and musical direction.

Ohh... Yes... This is a great album...! It's tough setting it up to listen to, but once you get it going... It's pretty damn amazing.

Because the discs will be slightly out of sync, it sounds like his voice is swimming around you... kinda like a spirit... Great to listen to LOUD!!!!

Thanks Rich. You don't know how much this means to me. I've worked really hard to make sure it was of the best quality possible. Even though the results are great, I still think there was so much more that could have been done.

Hi, actually PRESENT is not that new... It was released back in 1996. I have the CD version of the album (AMB 6943 CD) made in Austria. Well, I don't like "ambient" releases on vinyl, because every time you lie down on the floor and relax it makes *KrzzzzTonKkk* and you have to turn the record hehehe... SUN ELECTRIC releases are also hard to find here in Germany, although SE is a german project and they are located in Berlin hehehe... Strange! But now let's talk about the album... Maybe it's not their best album (I prefer Kitchen) but it's worth buying for sure. It's more instrumental than The ORB because they don't use that much samples but it's very trippy. But Alex rulz!

Whoa! you're evaluating the orb in terms of music theory? granted, traditional harmonies are something they do, but dude, that's not the half of it. what keeps me coming back to the orb and good dub is the easy relationship with both music and sound. challenge: record any sound. any at all. from radio, your body, household appliances...listen to it a couple times...now think, would this fit in an orb track? if you're answer's not yes, think again. the genius isn't a songwriting type of mindset at all, it's way easier than that. (these guys are potheads, at least lx...would you really expect anything more than three chords?) i could fill pages trying to point at what the orb is (as if i knew), but i don't think conventional, or even classical, songwriting is something they're up to (selected moments aside...). have i missed your point? fun things to think about. g'bye orbies. 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: "Marcolphus" Subject: (orb) Passing of Time (film mix) Date: 27 Mar 1998 10:39:03 +0100 How is it like?

Both Peel Sessions albums were put out by Strange Fruit. The first one was distributed by Dutch East (DE-18119-2). The second was not (SFRCD138). The spine of the second says "John Peel Sessions."

It's fairly rare in that it's difficult to find just at any store, but if you check the web, I'm sure you'll find many copies. In my opinion, only the oobe sounds very good.

Actually this is kinda funny.. Our Original set up to listen was this. CD player in the front L/R running through the main stereo. The Playstetion running though the TV In the Center. Another CD player hooked to a TV to the Rear left, and a Boom Box on the Rear right.. Nothing Glamorous. It's just wierd seeing two TV's in the Same living room. (we eventually left this partially set up, to ease future listening). But on the first try. The main CD, player was on shuffle, one of those carosel deals. And The first song we listened to it.. It was pretty cool.. there was this strange electronic thing going on.. And then half way throught the song we realized that the CD in the stereo that was playing wasn't the Flaming Lips, It actually was Doubting Thomas. I've been toying with the notion of trying different tracks and Different CD's.. I've already played around with Different CD locations (rotating the Discs from player to player). But I like it when they all get sligtly out of Synch, and it's all a big chaos.. So maybe diferent tracks might be really fun. Maybe throw in some Spanish Castles in the Sky.. or some Blue Room. That should make it really interesting. Hell... who says we have to stick with 4CD's.. Find more to add to it.. Throw a party and have the Invite say (BYOS... Bring your own stereo) ... That would be a blast. Just some more thoughts...

The centre channel is used to localise actions on the screen, mainly speech. I suppose it would make the music sound like i was coming from a stage in front of you if you had the center channel turned up. Live '93 sounds pretty good in surround.

Yup, got mine around '93... it was in a 2 cd case that had a rediculous ice-cream truck on the sleeve of the "Justified and Ancient" promo disc.

That's Left / Right / Center (L+R) / Surround (L-R). The new AC-3 format has separate surround channels for left and right, and a separate subwoofer channel to make 6 audio channels. AC-3 is only available on laserdiscs and DVD's, as far as I know. There are other surround sound formats too... http://personal.riverusers.com/~manderso/ used to have a discography of albums in a bunch of different surround formats but the pages seem to have disappeared except for "circle surround" and "binaural headphone surround". There's also something about Ambisonic Surround at the page below. I've never fooled around with any of these formats. Does anyone know more about 'em and why they were made? http://www.omg.unb.ca/~mleese/ambison.html Finally, for the ultimate in surround sound check out the Audium if you're ever in San Francisco. This auditorium has speakers in the floor, ceiling, walls, etc and plays a few times each weekend (in the dark!). I thought the music was just OK (not up to the level of the Orb =) but it was a very unique experience. The Audium homepage is: http://www.slip.net/~audium/ The only official "Dolby Surround" disc I have is "West Sound Circle" and has tracks from Sun Electric (<- See, I'm on topic!), Holy Language, Spin Corp and Async Sense. It's a nice CD! It was apparently recorded at a club of the same name in Berlin that has a surround setup. If anyone can read German, THEIR homepage is: http://www.west.de I'd like to know more about this place too! I rarely use my surround setup since I'd be tripping over the wires constantly, I'll get around to making a permanent sound setup once I get my own place. Anyway, I haven't checked out FFWD or any other of my CDs in surround. Thanks for the tip, whoever mentioned that (Smiley?). Well, that's enough from me.

The first track on it is called 'Intro' (clever! ;) It's fairly short but I'm sure it has parts of some Orb songs. They are under some harsh static and some breaks, but I can hear the tinkling from Spanish Castles (Before the bass and the Russian fella start). There is also that electronic voice from another Orb song (can't remeber which one)....it's trying to count down but keeps saying "2, 2, 2, 2" Has anyone else noticed this?
