I have the LP version of MoN, and the track order is different (and better in my opinion). Otono belongs next to Style. I think the 4 sides break up the album very well.

It's good stuff! Not often you get to hear a single containing remixes of an Orbital remix of a track... and a Hybrid mix to boot. (for those not familiar, go to the "Collaborations" section of the Discography page on the www.loopz.co.uk web page for the confusing details on this release) If anyone's interested, it only costs $7 shipped from the UK, and that was to me in the US, straight from the label. ( www.distinctiverecords.com ) It only took about 7 days from the day I ordered it, too. Groovy.

My fave tune of all time, end of story. Second choice would be Impact, but only LIVE..... specifically the version off of Satan Live disc 3 which is brilliant and is the best version I have heard from a live concert. Why you ask? It's rythmic goodness and dancy, even tho I hate dancing. Theres something to be said for Impact live as compared to TGWTSIHH..... but it's still pure, 100 percent, Orbital goodness.

Date: 08 Mar 2001 20:51:49 -0500 I would play some Vogon poetry. I can't get enough of that stuff. Seriously, though, this is a *very* difficult question. If you got to play one song that the entire world heard, what would it be? You can't just immediately say you would play your favourite song, because it probably wouldn't mean much to most people. I think I would play u-ziq - Goodbye, Goodbye, because it would be appropriate if the Vogons blew up the planet. Actually, that's pretty ironic, because that's the song I probably would play for the planet.

Its Maelcum (of the Kosmic Free Music Foundation) remixing the Box - I'm not sure about the breadbox part tho..? In any case it might be downloadable from thier website (www.kosmic.org - seems to be down now so I can't check). Its from 1996, so you can't get it from their mp3.com pages - I believe those only go back to 1998. I do have the original module, its XM format. If you can't find it otherwise let me know I can e-mail it to you.

Anyway, did anyone else see them playing this live?? It doesn't immediately (from that one play I've heard so far) lend itself to being a single... Maybe it'll grow on me... Also, found out that apparently Orbital joined up with Lenny Kravitz & Madonna to perform "Ray Of Light" at the MTV Music Awards in 1998...

Seeing as it's the Orbital list and many have chosen Orbital tracks already, I'll pass up the chance on my natural selection #2; Planet of the Shapes (to reflect the diversity of humankind (all "shapes" and sizes) ;P, but I will not go there. Instead, I'll choose ... Frederic Galliano - Sans Titre No 4 for the excellent collaboration of bringing together traditional, african rhytms and "folk" music with modern, electronic music. So, in a way this only because my favourite of a huge selection of similar music, but you get the gist of my reason. Music that brings together cultures is noteworthy and exciting in my eyes.

Essentially, no more than 4 songs (or is it 3 now?), not lasting more than 20 minutes... Oh, but nowadays, it seems to be common-place to include an MPEG (or Quicktime) video of the single as well (cheers!). Also, there are to be no more than 3 formats of a single, with most opting for 2xCD singles and one cassingle... ...Whereas in the US, they are allowed to put all songs off both CD singles onto one...

But I am only one person and my opinion matters little in the grand scheme of things, but I'm sure I will have a lot of people disagreeing with me. oh well, at least the new Underworld is coming sometime this year. Maybe FSOL will come out of hiding and release a new CD sometime soon here too.

Do not read if you want the album to be a surprise. Hey everyone I'll try not to be too extensive and give everything away, but I have to give my first impressions. Just finished listening to Altogether and I am overcome by disappointment but yet in many ways, happy. It's probably their worst album since some of it falls into the worst music I have ever heard category. Is tootled supposed to be a joke? It sounds like something that some dipshit made with the sampler that his parents bought him for his birthday. What a mockery of an amazing Tool song. Tension is unlistenable it is so bad. Did they seriously make this? However, Pay Per View is totally incredible. It's not their best work, but it definitly stands out and hits my Orbital top 15 list. It's a cool, funky track that has excellent vocals. Last thing is like a good old school dance track. A very nice touch. Funny break is pretty good, it lived up to my expectations. Doctor is cool just because it's Doctor Who. And meltdown starts off as a poor attempt at drum and bass, but turns into a totally amazing track. Now that's what Orbital sounds like. Epic bliss. As for all the songs that I didn't mention, I felt that there was not reason to mention them. They weren't that great, but they weren't as bad as Tootled or Tension If I had to rate the album out of ten, I would probably give it a 4 because the first and third tracks are just so absolutely horrible that they make me not want to buy this album. However, Pay Per View and Meltdown are so good that I probably will have to. And, I really doubt that the stuff I don't like will grow on me, because it is some of the worst music I have ever heard. Oh well, I kind of expected this and I guess 5 out of 11 ain't that bad. I am just happy that there is something on it that I like. I have been more eager about the new Autechre and Boards of Canada all along anyway. Well, I hope no one read this who didn't want to read this, I just had to voice my opinion. kevin listening to Seattle Train Station show and thinking Dang! that's a good show. # 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) Orbital New Promo Date: 29 Mar 2001 01:14:56 -0800 Here is my take on the album track by track: Tension: Total chaos, mind bending, gutsy, original. I like it a lot I think Tootled would have been a better intro into the cd though. Does the beginning of this song remind you of some spots of Meltdown? Funny Break: I didn't know what to expect because I had heard the remix that was floating around on the net.. but I think this song is pure beauty. I love how the vocal samples are layered on top of one another just PERFECTLY. I'm hoping all pop songs will sound like this in the future (I might actually listen to the radio again). Does anyone know what the lyrics are here? Oi!: This song will have to grow on me. I feel like there aren't enough changes and it is a bit minimal for my tastes. It sounds like a dance song but it just isn't loud or pounding like a dance song. I really like the intro to it though... Pay Per View: Another song that will have to grow on me. I'm glad some people totally dig this song. It's enjoyable and the bass (is that a real bass?) guitar sounds funky enough but again I think there isn't enough going on to keep my interest. I'm glad they added the vocal to the song it fits well. (about one minute into the track it really reminds me of I Don't Know You People) Tootled: I think this song rocks and it would sound great played really loud on a nice stereo system. I think this should be played on the radio here in the US - people will dig it a lot. I'm so glad to finally hear a cd quality version of this song. Last Thing: To me this is classic Orbital with updated instrumentation. I love this song! Doctor Who: I'm glad this version is a bit different than the live versions I've heard over the year or so. It moves along quite nicely and sounds very polished. I would have liked a new song in its place instead though. Shadows: The samples are haunting. The track has a constant flowing feel to it which I like a lot. Very unique sounding!! Waving Not Drowning: Playful sounding song with a lot going on. Right before the "Way Out" sample I hear a hint of what I thought a piece of The Visit sounded like. Sort of reminds me of a happy hippie version of Spare Parts Express. Illuminate: The music is great! This is the closest to a pop song as I've heard from Orbital but it was surprisingly good. I had no idea what to expect of the Gray song but I think the singing goes perfectly with the song (I wouldn't think his voice would lend itself to electronic music.. I actually think his voice detracts from the Hartnoll mix of Please Forgive Me). Meltdown: It's going to take many listens to memorize this song - it's got so many changes. I think this is a great track and I too can't wait to hear the full version. I can only assume they didn't want to bog down the cd with a real long final track after 5 minute tracks. Overall: My first impression is The Altogether is all over the place in terms of musical styles (for an Orbital release at least). It's going to take a few more listens for sure to see how I rate this cd but I am pretty sure it doesn't top In Sides or MoN for me (those two are my favorite cds of all time). On one hand I'm glad they are experimenting with their sounds again but on the other hand I didn't enjoy their previous 'experimental' album (Sniv) as much as I would have liked to. But on the other hand if they did come out with another In Sides or MoN they would probably pigeonhole themselves (if they haven't already). I think I enjoyed the long tracks of In Sides and MoN vs. the short but sweet tracks of Sniv and this album. I think Tension, Tootled, and Meltdown are great hardcore tracks and I would like to hear more experimenting with those styles but I'd have to say my favorite tracks right now are Funny Break and Last Thing. Needless to say I am EXTREMELY HAPPY to have some new Orbital to listen to once again! # 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: Garry Thompson Subject: RE: (orbital) Orbital New Promo Date: 29 Mar 2001 13:47:18 +0100 What's the release date for the album in the UK (if there is a definite one).

The "twooooong" noise that appears so much on U-ziq's "Royal Astronomy" album seems to appear a few times on "The Altogether." I'm still listening to The Altogether, but I can say now that I like it. It's different than the other techno CRAP that seems to be coming out these days. Plaid and Boards of Canada are carry the genre, as far as I'm concerned. Frankly, I'm quite glad Orbital came out with this album like they did. It's as if they matured and developed a more "armchair" style. After "Middle of Nowhere," we should have assumed that the other end of the spectrum would occur eventually. I don't care what anyone says about the new album, because you all will eventually like "The Altogether" after a few 100 listens anyway! Then, you'll go back on what you said and be like "Umm..it's not THAT bad." (Just like Middle of Nowhere). *ranting off* Rob Still reeling after seeing Ani Difranco last night at a hockey arena. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com # 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: Noggin Subject: (orbital) US dates?

I initially thought that, but someone on the loopz web site mentioned that it sounds like Forever and I'd have to agree. The distinct sound is very much Orbital's signature 'sound' to me (from Belfast, Forever, others) but a bit slowed down with a bit more melody, no? Other than that sound nothing really sounded like mu-ziq to me. The parts where the song gets quiet really reminds me of something else Orbital did but I can't put my finger on it (maybe some slow parts of Are We Here?). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Yeah, ever since I've had broadband, I've been downloading entire albums, though I've added a section on my music list of stuff I need to buy on CD.

Date: 30 Mar 2001 14:44:57 +0200 Okay... Like always, i approached the new album totally unprejudiced! 8) Meaning: I did NOT expect anything!.. And i gotta say: It hasn't yet fully grown on me (only listened once to it sofar!) but it sure has potential and there are already quite a few bits that i already like alot! 8) The influences from the "stoners techno" (A friend of mine coined that term, dunno what the "official" name would be! ;-D realm that remind me of the likes of Kruder & Dorfmeister or Nightmares on Wax are definately an interesting thing, slapped bass, groovy basslines and Orbital? Hell, works quite well as far as i see! ;-D Also the singing part (NOT Grant Fulton or whatever his name was! <:-) is pretty decent! The "Orbital Twist" is definately there, but like with e.g. The Prodigy's "Jilted Generation" it's there but only very subtle... Too subtle maybe? <:-) I dunno, i prolly can tell after a few listens!.. Impressions of the single Songs: -Tootled: very classy Orbital'ish track with a new twist, gotta love the guitar or whatever it is! 8) -Ol: Also very much classical Orbital style, but in part it has too many samples playing at the same time as it seems, plus i always seem to be waiting for the main melody, the bassline simply doesn't count as such IMHO! 8) -Tension: pretty hectic, but okay, i like the Didgeridoo sound in the back.. Sure works great as a live track i'd say.. -Pay per View: Great stuff, first of the "stoners Techno" tracks, i love the Rhodes Piano and the slapped Bass! 8) Very very groovy, i never had a fuckin CLUE that Orbital was into grooves! Definately the "Lala-Machine" (new term for Mrs Goldfrapp! ;-D singing in there if you ask me! -Illuminate: Great melody!.. The singing is awesome.. Reminds me a bit of DonMcLean/Gordon Lightfoot kinda folk singing plus "The Beach" plus maybe GWTSIHH!... <:-) Hell, my Father (heavy American Folk fan! ;-D might love that song! ;-) -Last Thing: Very very oldskool if you ask me, it sounds pretty minimalistic like from the days of Green or even earlier (Chime! 8) A bit unmotivated though IMHO, i miss the certain catch that turns me onto the track! -Funny Break: Like it alot! nuff said! <:-) -Doctor: Well, *we* all know that one by now! ;-D -Shadows: Nice though not mindblowing.. Can't say much more about it right now! <:-) -Waving not Drowning: Fuckinell, what on earth is that? <:-) Spare Parts Express meets the first Moog Quartet? <:-) Hell, this sounds alot like c64 music, hence i love it alot! ;-D Or is that actually the "return of the Stylophone"? 8)) -Meltdown: Aphex'ish disted Drums and Orbital? 8) Sure, why not? That's prolly the 10 minute epic Paul has been talking about back then! ;-D Not really "The Box" quality (NOT sequel, mind you, i didn't expect that! >:-) but sure has an interesting evolution throughout the song!.. One of my faves sofar! Goes along really well with a steady pretty fast pace... The melody that's e.g. starting on 6:16 sounds a HELL lot like some c64 tunes i know! 8) The bastards also integrated some parts that sound like "crippled mp3s" (waving not drowning) and loops that sound like your computer crashed and the sound is stuck in a loop (meltdown)! ;- D Did anyone except me notice that? 8) Hell, wasn't the windows-bing-error-sound in "Are we here" already enough? >;-) Anyway, i'm not at all disappointed, and that's all that counts! ;-D DeeKay P.S.: I didn't find any Mu-Ziq in there, atleast not as far as tne Mu-Ziq that i know is concerned! <:-) # 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) OpenMinded dj sets, autechre, etc. Date: 30 Mar 2001 09:46:54 -0800 (PST) > OpenMinded 2 dj sets in Mp3 format are online on the > site - over 4 hours including Loopz, Gray and Bobby > Bird of Higher Intelligence Agency. wow, nice set lists on those previous sets, steve. damn, that's the stuff i wanna start mixing. too bad i have more progressive house records than IDM records and i have no money to remedy the problem :( oh well, this will be taken care of this summer :) hey, is anyone goin to see autechre in chicago on may 11? tickets aren't on sale yet, but i'm definately gonna work my way up there to see em. one more question, it's kinda dumb, but it just occured to me. does anyone know how to pronounce Dwr Budr?

Yea, i'm definitely going (i live in chicago)...tickets go on sale saturday at noon, i believe :) I'm also trying to get a friend from Michigan to come over for the show. You live here in chicago, Brandon? there's some nice restaurants in the general area of the venue, might want to try meeting up with a couple of you? -Anthony G Oh yea, and the show is only 15 bucks...nice deal :) # 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) My very personal impression of the new album...

Date: 31 Mar 2001 09:38:25 +0200 From his website at www.moby-online.com 3/29/01 - New York City I've just been reading this book called "Moby < Replay". It's odd to have ones life summed up in a few hundred pages by a 3rd party writer. But I appreciate the quasi-objective insight into my life and career. And I've realised that I have been a truly annoying and awful man at times, especially regarding my career. So, to anyone who might have stuck with me for a little while, thank you, I really appreciate it. And I'm sorry that I've been so difficult. Sheesh, what was wrong with me? Why did I have to pick musical fights with people? I love Aphex Twin and Orbital, why did I criticize them? I do believe that every time someone criticizes me now that I'm completely desrving of it, for in the past I used to be such a jerk. Who knows, maybe I'm still a jerk. Probably. I should go to J.A. (Jerks Anonymous). Although I guess now that I've outed myself as a jerk I'm not quite so anonymous. In any case, I apologize for being so difficult in the past. And I publicly apologize to anyone I might have offended by being abrasive or critical or contentious. Yours in contrition, - moby Okay, so, in what way did Moby criticize Aphex Twin and Orbital, and how can we crucify him for it? :) Kenneth # 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) Moby has something to say.

So I guess that was Funny Break, huh? The song was good too, but I saw it with the video, so it's a tainted opinion. Comments about the video: (go watch it before you read these!) That's a very pretty actress. I wonder if she's the one that does vocals on some of the tracks, or if it's just a completely different person. I would compare some parts of the video more to Style than the Saint, but there are definitely some Saint-like qualities. And then there's some anime (when the girl jumps around and moves, how they speed it up and slow it down). Some parts of it even reminded me of Bjork's All Is Full of Love video, like the briefcase in the elevator part. As far as the big O's presence, there were quite a few instances. The obvious ones were the double door in the beginning and end, and the bottle of h2O. There were also a couple of Os in the elevator, and that's all I care to remember right now. By the way, the two guards happen to reveal themselves to be a couple of people at the end = )... a pair that we know very well. Notice also the circular structure, how it starts there, then goes through the water theme, then the airport bit, then the museum, and then the girl ends up where she started, at the museum baggage claim (baggage claim? Maybe that's not a museum...)

Date: 01 Apr 2001 01:13:07 -0000 Josh here. Back from months of madness. Well, it finally took fuckin' long enough before the album was finally uploaded to Napster !!! I checked for weeks and there was barely anything. Here's my review so far : 1) TOOTLED .... is great. If In Sides or the live versions of Halcyon didn't make converts out of anyone here in the US, this track surely will. 2) OI! .... is total modeling runway music. Maybe this one should've been named Style instead. ;-) 50% LFO , 50% Yello. 3) TENSION.... I had heard an early version of this. 45% Surf Music , 45% of Yello's "Squeeze Please", and 10% of "Woolly Bully" . 4) PAY PER VIEW .... FUCKING LOVE THIS TRACK !!!!!! The classic utterings from Sexy Voice Box Goldfrapp (although she reminds me a bit of Anita Baker here), with beautiful, lush arrangements and a Kraftwerk-ish beat. French roasted vanilla eroticism. I hope that Larry Heard will remix this one ;-) 5) ILLUMINATE .... Love the sunny, sugary vintage keyboard pad chords all throughout. But the drums have this General MIDI feel that I really don't like (anyone who's a techie will know what I mean about this). This is also what I terribly hated about the Expo 2000 remix for Kraftwerk. Mr.. Gray does great on the vox, but this will confuse the shit out of fans as to whom the track should be credited to if a single is released (see : Art Of Noise & Tom Jones version of "Kiss") . 6) LAST THING .... Classic Orbital. Could've been a leftover from MoN that REALLY should've been on the album (and the angels cried out - Mock Tudor !!!! ) . 7) FUNNY BREAK .... The Plump DJ's mix is far better, although I like the airy, orchestral sound that this version has when the vocals kick in. 8) DOCTOR WHO .... I wasn't a huge fan of this song live to begin with. Enough said; flame on. 9) SHADOWS .... Some cool-ass 007 shit with the classic *trademarked by Art Of Noise* space vox keyboard pads towards the end. Gotta love those vibes (or xylophones; it's always hard for me to tell the difference between the two) as well. 10) WAVING NOT DROWNING ..... If Simon & Garfunkel, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Kenny G all had one massive gay orgy one night, this would be the "aural results" ;-P . But all horrible joking aside, I really like this track too. ;-) 11) MELTDOWN ...... It's really fuckin' tripped. It's hard, then goes into a video game soundtrack with those minimal (once again) General MIDI sounding guitar samples (the GM guitar thing is also why I have such immense disrespect for ATB and how fucking popular he became by using such crap sounds). I don't know how to rate this track yet. I give the album a 7 out of 10. I think it's way fuckin' better than Sniv will EVER be (flame again) . Even though some might not like it, I think it'll still be promoted very well. IMHO, Orbital is the only group that has and still continues to keep ffrr, London, and now, Sire alive (although the latter still is the US home to Aphex Twin). So fuck it !!! Now about Depeche Mode's "Exciter" ...... Heard this one last month, and it pretty much can be described in the same vein as this album; very diverse and prolly won't be any of the fans' favorites. If y'all want a review of that one in another post, send me your replies. It's not out until May 14/15 (UK/US, respectively). Late.
