The site that lives on no longer has the music, though, just some peripheral links. Is there somewhere else this is available. It was through a web recording (House of Blues New Orleans, also no longer available to non-Windows/Mac machines) that I first understood how truly transcendently great Orbital are. So if anyone has any pointers... Also, are there any announced plans for a US tour? They haven't toured here in the last three years, and that has (unfortunately coincidentally) been the period of time I have been heavily into them. I've seen live videos, live music, bought all the records, but I still haven't seen them. If it seems they'll not be coming to the US this year I am considering going to... The homelands festival in may. Anyone have any feedback as to whether that'd be an interesting show, from past experience? I'd love to see P & P Hartnoll, and the Orb as well, but if Orbital are going to play only a 45 minute set, since I saw Alex Paterson recently, I could just save my $1000. But if it has been a great festival in the past, I may as well do it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have been making music on my pc for over 5 years now, and the best program that I have discovered so far is Dream Station. It is incredible. It is a full synthesizer that allows you to totally alter the sound of your samples or sine waves with such things as LFO filters, oscilators, etc. Also, it has an efffect send on the mixer that allows you to use the effects that are in the program such as Flange, Reverb, Delay, etc. It also has a full multi tracker. It is absolutely incredible. However, you have to have a good pc. A lot of my friends pc's won't run it. It also, costs $100 US, but if you are interested, I can send it to you for free. well, hope that helps. kevin # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Thing181@aol.com Subject: (orbital) Seattle Train Station on the Web Date: 03 Feb 2001 17:08:18 EST Hello In terms of this recording, I remember listening to it many years back. In fact, it was on e of the first Orbital shows that I heard live. As far as quality goes, the .RA file (yah, they were .RA and not .RAM files back then) wasn't that great of quality. It sounded much like the version of San Francisco 93 that is on the Orbital web site. The MP3 copy that is on the server is much better sounding. And just to add my 2 cents, Orbital - Live from the Seattle Train Station is one of the best setlist from Orbital. It is from the In Sides era and not only features Choice, but also the full version of the Box. Don't miss out, download today.

Date: 08 Feb 2001 12:40:52 -0500 I'm sure Scott knows a lot more about this than I do, but I'll try to explain it in "laymen's" terms = ). A multiplexer is an integrated chip (read: piece of electronics) that reads in a number of bits (a bit can be 1 or 0), and determines what the output should be based on some stuff. So a 1x4 multiplexer reads in one bit and outputs 4. There are many different kinds (such as 2x8, blah, blah). A demultiplexer does the opposite, so it takes in a number of bits and spits out 1 or 2 of them, etc. At least this is what I learnt in my assembly programming class. Just thought we could fill up the list with electronics, and then Shannon can tell us about some more cool chemistry stuff (I still remember that thread about people glowing). -Marc Sawaya > So anybody have an idea what "multiplexer-demultiplexers" are? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Ed Lomas" Subject: Re(2): (orbital) Great new band name?

Date: 08 Feb 2001 13:08:36 -0500 Well, I worked at Corning Inc, and Multiplex/Demultiplex (or Mux/Demux) is used. With Corning, it was used with fiber optics. We made these little filters that only allowed certain frequencies through them. For example, if you had a fiberoptic strand, there would be filters located on both ends, allowing 16, 32, 64, or 128 "channels" to get through. You'd send them through on one end with a laser (Mux), and at the other end, the different filters would filter them into the 16, 32, 64, or 128 channels, (Demux) on the other end. This allows up to 128 channels out of a single fiberoptic strand. This is hot technology right now. Also, I know other companies like JDS Uniphase and such have been working with the space program to apply similar technologies in space. I assume this is what they're talking about. It's certainly not an astronaut synthesizer. (hahahaha! That'd be nice though!) It's probably a way that they use lasers in space to power different mechanisms, since "normal" functions that we do here under our gravity/conditions isn't the same. Here's a pasting from the site: "Our past is filled with examples of innovation and high volume production. Products primarily used for defense and space application, had to meet severe environmental and cosmetic requirements for diverse climates and end uses such as missile systems or weather and communication satellites.

It sort of died, and I'm not too sure why. I've been meaning to write this e-mail for a while, and here goes. When I found this mailing list, I was just really starting to get into Orbital. I had bought In Sides after seeing the video for The Box on MTV's Amp. Everyone on the list was really friendly, and I just had to buy all the Orbital cds I could get my hands on. Anyway, if it weren't for this group, I would have never heard of Autechre, or Plaid, Boards of Canada, 2 Lone Swordsmen, Squarepusher, Jega, u-ziq, Amon Tobin, Kid Koala, Cosmic Baby, BT, Fluke, I wouldn't have any Underworld or Orbital bootlegs or any of the stuff people put on my server. This list has been solely responsible for my musical maturity, etc., and I am forever indebted. Not to mention the cool people who used to post (some still do): Shannon, Digger, Aimee, Loopz, Morpheus, Rob Schultz (whom I met), Trym, Deekay, Mehul, CDRich (sorry, don't know your name), Majordomo (who is that guy? = ), benjib, AJ, Philip, Josh, Kel, nub, Shaun, Kulsoom, Ender, Tasan, Iah Mahuron, Jon Green, on + on! I can't help but get a huge smile when I read my archived Orbital list e-mails. So much traffic, so many flames (Brenden sure caused a stir, huh?). I think I've been getting e-mail on this list for 4 years now! A big part of this list was my ftp server, and I'm sorry it didn't survive the transition from on-campus to off-campus housing. It took forever to get DSL here, but UPS should be dropping off a router today, along with a new 45GB hard disk, and with any luck, my ftp server will be up and running today!! Now I'm not on campus, so the upload speed of the dsl is probably gonna max at 18K or so (I know, it sucks). Still, it's my server! I'll send out an e-mail about it when it's official, but it should happen any day now, I'll be back in business. Since I'm getting a new hard disk, I'll have my current one (9GB) dedicated to the server, so no more problems when people are uploading 2.5GB of Oakenfold = ). Anyway, I'm very excited. mmmmmmm Marc Sawaya # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Marc Sawaya Subject: (orbital) Satan Sample Date: 08 Feb 2001 14:59:28 -0500 Uhhh... what's that sample on the Satan (Demonic version) from Cream 2k?

Wonder if he ever learned to use tact? :-) Marc mentioned all of the great bands he learned about on this list. The best way I know of to learn about new artists is to ask everyone what their favorite (or favourite for those of you over in Orbital-land) bands are. I compiled a list-members survey in the fall of 1998 and 1999 - was a little busy last fall, but hey, it's not too late and it _is_ quiet. Anyone up for a new survey? Send me your top 10 bands, _besides_ Orbital. Post to the list or send directly to me. When the traffic dies down, I'll compile a master list and post it. If you want to review the last two surveys (and see if you contributed), check out the web site below.

I have been listening to Arling & Cameron lately - two guys from Holland who have got Sergio Mendes, John Barry, Air, and Fatboy Slim over for a party and they are waiting for you to show up (the ladies are already there too). John Barry is an influence of the Hartnoll brothers. I'm sure you all can recall them opening their set with the "Moonraker Theme."

Underworld would probably be number 11 though, or possibly trade spots with the deftones. take care kevin # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Arfie Mansfield Subject: Re: (orbital) Top 10 Date: 10 Feb 2001 11:31:46 +0000 1) Orbital 2) Way Out West 3) =B5-ziq (and other Mike Paradinas aliases) 4) BT 5) Layo and Bushwacka! 6) Hybrid 7) Tipper 8) David Holmes 9) Moby 10) Leftfield # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: deekay@mail.dfu.de Subject: (orbital) Top Thirteen...

Speaking of clanky, has anyone heard Ae's ep7.2? As much as I love Ae, that disk is practically unlistenable. It sounds like they are going for the rural sound by running over their synths with a tractor. I personally think that they have pushed the limit too far. However, their new album, set to release on April 19th, looks like it may be a little more conventional, that is Ae conventional. Afterall, this one actually has a name and everything. I really wish that they would make some more stuff like their their remixes of the beast and slowly-on the loose. Those tracks are incredible. However, I am expecting something totally new. Something that no one has every done before, hopefully anyway. And BTW, does anyone know if Anti is out of print? The warp website isn't selling it anymore, and I just found that kind of odd. Also, is Pentamorous Metamorphisis by GC out of print as well. I can't find it for sale any where, and a lot of stores used to carry it. oh well, kevin eagerly awaiting the abundance of warp releases set for this year. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brandon Invergo Subject: (orbital) OT: Help with stuff Date: 13 Feb 2001 17:44:48 -0800 (PST) hey, i was wondering if some of you out there in orbital land were familiar with some good breakbeat stuff. i'm looking for stuff that is more melodic than just full of tough bass lines, although some of that's alright too. i'm mostly looking for stuff that would sound good with trancey stuff, stuff like Hybrid, or Aquasky vs. Masterblaster's '777.' i'm under the impression that's how way out west and tsunami one are, but i'm not sure, cause i've never heard em. some of BT's more breakbeatish stuff is good. example: the breakbeat type stuff in BT's 'Content' = good.

Afterall, this one actually has > a name and everything. Oooh, I didn't know about this one... something else to look forward to. Actually, just checked the Warp site. They have a name for it apparently : "Autechre’s new 9 track album “Confield” has been delivered. The release date is set for the 16th April. Ae are now planning live dates for later this year." - from http://www.warprecords.com/ (and btw, what a fantastic site that's become) Btw, do you mean the "Peel Sessions 2" by "ep7.2"? The four MP3s that were available from an AE-homepage finally made it to disc, and it's really very much in tune with "lp5" and "ep7" (the "clanky", distorted ones). Mostly, I let Incunabula, Amber and the Garbage EP get most playtime. Something feels wrong about the Tri Repetae album, just can't get into it, although the Anvil Vapre EP is a beaut..

Tracks like The Push, Scram, Big Groovy Fucker, and so on. They're very big and bouncy, but have some great bleepy tune bits. Freq Nasty's good as well - I saw him do an AMAZING set of progressive melodic breakbeat stuff last year. Tsunami One are great, although they've only done a few things and I hear their first album's been scrapped (they've split up, apparently). The things they've done on their own (Kevin Beber or Adam Freeland) are normally very cool - there's a Beber tune I can't remember the name of which has a really nice Orbital-style second half. Timo Maas has done some very trancey breakbeat stuff that's really very good as well. Slacker? Some of their breakbeat stuff's pretty tuneful. Oh, and Waveform. They're nice, swooshy, chilled breakbeat. Did a very good remix of Way Out West's Earth.

Can someone recommend some Autechre to me, then? I've heard some of their stuff that I thought was fantastic, and saw them live at the Warp Lighthouse thing last year where they were amazing to begin with (friend said it was their older stuff) then they went completely mental and I had to go rest my poor head. I've only got one of their CDs, and it's ep7. A random buy that scared me off getting any more of their stuff without a prior recommendation.

I know a lot of Orbital fans would call me crazy but hey, so hasn't everyone else.... It had it's own redeeming qualities mind you, but I was not enthralled with the music..... beautiful sounding in general??? I don't think so..... A lot of that album just irritated me, not sure what exactly to say.... some were quiet tunes like Attached, while others were upbeat dancy (Crash and Carry), and others were just there (Kein Trink Wasser).... there are a few tunes I enjoy off this album, yes.... Crash and Carry, Philosophy by Numbers, and Sad but True are all great, while Are We Here is alright in stretches and not so great in parts..... the album lacked a continuity and bounced about too wildly for my tastes.... and a few of the songs quite frankly I just don't like (Attached and Kein Trink Wasser) I was the one who said that I wasn't pleased about the way the album tunes that are out sounded, but I didn't say the new single was too poppish (tho upon further inspection it is, and I hate pop... well I hate everything but techno, ambient, and metal/industrial so....) Tootled I still dunno what to make of it.... Sorry but I prolly never will... sampling Tool's Sober for an Orbital song? That is disturbing to me, for some unquantifiable reason..... as for Tension it is growing on m a little bit, but not as much as the stuff off MoN did..... and Dr. Who I have heard a trillion times, and I never liked it..... Funny Break doesn't impress me what little I heard..... Will I get the album? Most assuredly. Will I be impressed? We'll see...... I wasn't with MoN..... nor with Sniv..... In-Sides is simply the best album they (or anyone else) has ever produced, and there is virtually no way that it will ever be topped in my books... and while MoN grew on me....

I see you have already judged something you havent heard. I feel sorry that you have set yourself up for a disappointment. Since this will never be as good as In-sides, and most likely not even a good album, maybe you should save your money and buy some of your own equipment and make your own "In-Sides 2". P&P have already given us so much. It is selfish to want everything they do to be YOUR favorite. Just be happy that P@P are happy and know that they are creating music that THEY enjoy first and formost and if you do too it is only a side effect.

Anyhow, about the new stuff. My view is 'fuck it, it's by Orbital, so why's everyone whinging?'. I dislike the version of Tension broadcast on the Q Awards programme, but given that it's badly edited, I've only heard it once, and live stuff isn't best suited for home listening, I'm just going to wait for the full release.

I'd hate for any band to NOT enjoy the music they made.... however releasing it as a commercial product means that they have to expect the fans to say what they will about it, and comparisons are more then inevitable. I still listen to the old albums, tho these days Underworld and Chem Bros get more playtime then Orbital.... I am glad they made In-Sides, it is a blessing to all of us..... but that doesn't mean I have to lower my expectations for their new material.... they have built themselves a reputation and a name.... and lets face it no matter what anyone says, there will be comparisons to their old stuff..... Once a band has earned commercial success in whatever form and has fans, comparisons are going to happen, and judgments will be made. That's human nature. Have I judged the new album? In a way maybe.... the 4 tracks (you figure thats over 1 third of the album) I have heard from the new album just are not up to their high standards, at least not from this listeners standpoint. Tootled is the best of the 4 songs I'd say from my viewpoint, but I still can't shake the weirdness of sampling Sober for it.... Will the rest of the album be better? I certainly hope so, and since the singles of MoN were the songs I liked the very least, I expect there to be a couple nice surprises.... but it isn't going to be a listen to the whole cd disc like In-Sides was..... as for Snivilization vs. the Green album.... I will say I listen to the Green album about as much as Sniv, which is to say once every 4 or so months maybe.... I prefer the Green album to Sniv, albeit very slightly, because of Oolaa and Desert Storm along with Chime and Midnight.... but I'd still much rather listen to the brown album or In-Sides..... or the US Halcyon CD single or Diversions or the Satan live set (for the non Satan tunes LoL) for that matter.... anyways, I am looking forward to the new album, don't get me wrong.... but as of right now I'm looking forward to the new Underworld more.....

Have a listen to 'Beneath the Radar' - their second album, IIRC. Also, Dirty Epic is relatively free of Emersonisms. I've always thought the two elements clashed - Smith and Hyde are completely different in style to Emerson. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Shaun Rader Subject: Re: (orbital) new stuff and my take on Sniv Date: 27 Feb 2001 12:22:15 -0800 (PST) --- Arfie Mansfield wrote: > I love MoN, and I have done for as long as it's been around. > AFAIK, I'm the only one, though.

I cant believe so many people dont like MoN!? In my opinion its a very distinct sound. Not what I would consider commercial at all, or at least its very easy to tell it's orbital, and not the generic electonic music made these days. As for new stuff, Ive only heard the live versions of tootled and tension, but only once. I remember REAALLY liking Tension, and tootled was just kinda boring. Nad righ tnow Im listening to the 6 minute verion of the plummp Dj's remix and it sounds good (albeit a bit generic), but im blaming that one on the djs rather than orbital (guess well have to see!)

What I meant by it (and I guess I didnt explain myself clearly) was that the new track sounds, to my ears, like a lot of other pop-electronic music that I've heard lately. How could I not be dissappointed by that? I'm not dissappointed that Orbital changed their sound as you say, I'm dissappointed that it changed to something that sounds like a thousand other groups.

They're both wonderful. This whole discussion appeared in the wake of the MoN release too, so let me jump in too (again). I still stand by my decision after all these years that I find In Sides the worst cd Orbital ever made, if there is such a thing as a worst Orbital cd. I mean, apart from Adnan's and The Box, there isn't much to be happy about with that album. MoN, however, was as you both agree a good album. Diverse, experimental and a "live" album, well you probably get what I mean by live. > >Brown would come in 3rd and Green and Sniv tie for > 4th... Seems like the ranking's overturned here, put these two as no 1 and 2 respectively, with Green in third. But of course, these are just _my_ rankings of preference, anyone else could beg to differ. I've only listened to Tootled (but I wouldn't have if I knew it was to be on the new album), there was a discussion earlier which mentioned the track and I thought someone said it was a bit older than to-be-released. That said, I thought it sounded a bit in the lines of I Don't Know You People (the same distorted rock-thingy going on for Orbital), or was that just my distorted memory? /Trym . o 0 (trym - teeba@start.no <> jazzistant@start.no) Få din egen @start.no-adresse gratis på http://www.start.no/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Arfie Mansfield Subject: Re: (orbital) new stuff and my take on In-Sides Date: 28 Feb 2001 08:16:05 +0000 >This whole discussion appeared in the wake of the MoN >release too, so let me jump in too (again).

How can one NOT love TGWTSIHH and Out There Somewhere? There are only TWO songs i don't love on that album, and that's P.E.T.R.O.L. and Dwr Budr (although PETROL became a mood thing, sometimes i really like it and sometimes i can't stand it! 8) DeeKay, throwing in In Sides as he writes... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: deekay@mail.dfu.de Subject: (orbital) My personal prediction on the new album... Date: 28 Feb 2001 15:41:44 +0100 From what i remember when i talked to Paul about their past and future music was that he *seemed* to be a bit pissed (i dunno, maybe he wasn't being serious as so often.. Maybe Steve knows more? 8) about people always screaming for another "In Sides", dito goes for Halcyon btw... I think his words were something along the lines of "Hey, look, i can make other music, too!" <:-) Hence i consider it highly unlikely the new album is gonna be *anything* like In Sides! <:-) Even though i personally would *love* to hear another In Sides-like Album, i nevertheless respect their urge to evolve and go on rather than repeating themselves over and over again (e.g. like AC/DC! <:-) Afterall i have several *days* of older Orbital music for my full enjoyment, so having that i just sit back, relax without any big expectations and fully openly anticipate the new album, whatever it will be! <:-) Aslong as it DOES have that certain Orbital Twist* that their music has had right from the start i don't really care what the sound's gonna be like! 8) DeeKay, just worshipping the Trevi Fountain * What i mean by that is that i can meanwhile tell an unknown Orbital track (are there any left? 8) from *any* era from by just listening to it with an approximate Hit-Rate of 90%, it's just their very own sound that's *always* been there, i dunno how to describe it... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Ed Lomas" Subject: (orbital) Cool breaks/house night on tour (incl.

TBH, I can never remember what Dwr Budr sounds like. Shame on me. >Ha ha, I'm sorry Trym feels that In Sides is his least favourite album, >but it's good to hear differing views. Given that Orbital are extremely musically diverse, it's inevitable that there will be some who dislike some facets of their music that are loved by others. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Arfie Mansfield Subject: Re: (orbital) Cool breaks/house night on tour (incl.

Every time I hear the first three tracks > (especially the opening of Way Out)...something just > happens in side of me. it's beautiful. I agree with you that the first three songs are just awesome. The only song I don't absolutely love is Otono but it seems some people consider that one their favorite off of MoN. > To be perfectly honest, I don't like Otono or Style too > much, and given that they sandwich Nothing Left, I usually > listen to the album in two separate parts. I think Style is really nice I always find myself humming the tune. Did you all notice that the 'single' version sounds a bit more polished and also has pieces of the "now i'm aching for you" vocal from early on (before finally dropping the full sample) but the album version doesn't have any hint of the vocal until mid-way (when it's the full sample, no bits and pieces of it are played on the album version)? Hope that made sense. > I find In Sides the worst cd Orbital ever made Blasphemy! In Sides is my favorite cd of ALL TIME! I have like 250 cds or so and probably more full cds on mp3 (that I never listen to). > That said, I thought it sounded a bit in the lines of I > Don't Know You People (the same distorted rock-thingy > going on for Orbital) Tootled does in fact sound a bit similar to I Don't Know You People but I actually feel Tootled is a ton better (and I love MoN). > I think his words were something along the lines of > "Hey, look, i can make other music, too!" <:-) Hey you got to talk to Paul? That's cool! While I think In Sides is great I do have a feeling if they went out and tried to make another In Sides it might make the album seem less special. Might sound stupid.. but I feel like they perfected that 'sound' (whatever it may be) on the album and it can't be done any better. I'm kind of glad they are doing different styles. Plus it might sound forced if they tried to do another In Sides if that's not what they're feeling. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Shaun Rader" Subject: (orbital) Paul H, Eat Static, and Salt Tank?
