I have never seen any other mix by the Orb of "The Globe" than the usual one. However, I have never seen this piece either, so I'm only 90% confident in the above statement. - -- Adam J Weitzman ----- Individual, Inc. ----- weitzman@individual.com "I love the music of the 20th century!" - Bruce Willis, "12 Monkeys" ------------------------------ From: Jemma Gura Date: Thu, 18 Jul 1996 10:37:21 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: Orb/Bad II - The Globe In reference to the below, I have first hand knowledge that this does exist.

I just woke up; I spend 26 hours without sleeping, but it was worth it ! Me and my girlfriend, we traveled from Paris to Zeebruge to go to the Tribal Beach night (including Leftfield, A guy called Gerald and ORB !), a part two of the annual Axion Beach Rock festival. I thought I was lucky this day : I found yesterday the Apollo compilation with the Electrote remix (just two days after I found the Technodon Remixes II and the Auntie Aubrey's...cool week). The Rock part ended with the Sex Pistols (it might be a scam, but they play it very well...), so I thought there was a possibility of a Lydon/Leftfield reunion or a strange Orb version of "No fun", but no ! The crowd was very addicted on booze (I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't take drugs, I'm desperately clean, maybe I was the only one), but cheerful : Leftfield was okay, but not too much my cup of tea. I waited until 2am to hear the Orb live , I was with my girlfriend just in front of the scene, she wore a Pomme Fritz-like Tshirt, while I was wearing a Glow In the Dark Orb one. I think Alex saw us. Hope so ! (I don't know why, but when I go to an Orb concert, I act like a Take That groupie, and I'm 25 !). In fact, it was only Alex and Andy. No bass, no drums, no guitars. The Orb at Tribal Beach Night 21/07/96 Mix : Talks, Funky music, Pato Banton remix, A huge ever.... A remix of Cranberries "Zombie" (Orb remix ?) Set : 1.First track (dub jungle-like, maybe Cocksville, USA ?) Mix : RCA music of Space 2.Blue Room (very different version) 3.Second track (kinda cool with Deep Forest-like vocals) 3.Third track (hypnotic) Mix : cheesy disco records (5mn, way too long !) 4.Fourth track (spacey, with Diva samples) The set lasted only one hour, because at 3am, the festival decided to shut down (it was supposed to end at this time, but the show was late...). Alex and Andy were sorry and pissed, so as us and most of crowd. I traveled 400 miles to see just one hour of my favorite group, I was sad. I'll boycott the next Axion Beach festivals for that (and it's not really easy to dance on the sand). But to hear new tracks of the next album...joy of joy ! I wanted more ! Please Andy or LX, if you read us, tell us what are the names of the titles you played ? The sound was very clear, there were 3 screens showing scenes from "From Earth to Moon" by George Melies, and maybe "Earth vs Flying Saucers"...not forgetting moon shots and flamenco dancers ! Plus a scene from a 70's movies with 4 guys wearing red and the Union Jack: they were lilliputians, I remember... And LX was smoking during the concert ! Well, greetings from Europe. Don't miss the Auntie Aubrey's excursions ! Nico, do you know more about the second remix project ? Laszlo, do you need help for completing the discography ? Take care, cyberfriends.

Call it luck but at the time I came at MTV I got to see The Orb live at a fest in Milan. They were playing The Blue Room live wit some new samples in it and some very very nice sounds on it. Alex and Andy were jumping up and down and really enjoying wat they're doing. After that short sample of the live experience we got to see Alex backstage with some girl from MTV doing strange things with food!! At such moments I'm lucky to have that shit station on my tv. JC asked me about that second remix project. In UK mag Select from last month they asked Alex about the remix project (they gave it 5/5). This is what he said: The reason I wanted to do it is because I'd got fed up with all these bootlegs coming out with various mixes that weren't even cut right. They've been racking some of them in HMV-like they're a new Orb album. The scary thing is how many of them aren't on Aubrey... I mean there's over 60 of them now. We haven't touched any of the YMO stuff, Front 242, Wendy & Lisa.. Select suggested that part 2 is already been made. Alex also told Select that the new album will arive in the first week of october. "We've actually spent some time thinking about dance music, and rythms, as opposed to our non-dance ambient music. We've been listening to a lot of jungle, and that shines through. But I'd still like people to be able to take an Orb album home and actually listen to it, rather than it be solely a dance album."

You've been watching The M-cyclopedia part 'O', right? I put a circle around it in the TV guide, and I've made a rule out of waiting with my first joint AFTER I've programmed the VCR, but yesterday's attempt failed, of course. It hadn't crossed my mind again until Nico's mail. I missed the whole thing, and now I'm sort of wondering if they included any other wonderous O's, like Orbital and William Orbit (them names...), crammed in between Oasis and Old school rap (I bet they covered THAT) Anyway, I missed out and it's my own damn fault. The reason was quite enjoyable, but still... :( Have a day, Vanilla (C8H8O3) harmony@xs4all.nl "and then your brain is not normal" -Deq, my Somalian friend. ------------------------------ From: orbico@GlobalXS.nl (Nico Baars) Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 20:44:47 +0200 Subject: Re: The Orb in mags and on MTV >>Yesterday I was paying all the TV channels a quick visit.

But they have their moments. Two weeks ago they showed Orbital live in the MTV studio for an hour (actually it was the third time they showed it but.....who cares) And at Party Zone or Chill-out they play some good stuff at times. But you have to watch on teletext first to find out if their is anything you like, otherwise you got to look at hours of fucking commercials and the same Eurodance that goes on for days. And I know they played a lot of Orb in the past. Especially at Summertime Festival Time, so it's MTV on my TV at summertime.
