It covers the new album and the collaboration with David Gray for the song Illuminate. Its worth a read for Orbital fans. Now I have a question for everyone, my friend was able to take the MTV Dance Orbital Concert and make it an mp3 from the Real Audio File. I downloaded it from him, but its one long track which I would like to break up into the individual tracks so I can burn a CD out of it. Can anyone recommend an easy to use sound editor that would allow me to do this?

WOW! They were totally incredible. They played a lot of stuff from Double figure, and some oldies too. Some stuff I hadn't heard though, it could have been off of trainer though since I haven't heard it yet. They had excellent visuals too, they totally suited the songs. If you are thinking of going, do go. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how Squarepusher was since he never showed up. At least we get half of our money back. I was more interested in Plaid anyway. Just thought I'd be the first to let you all know since this was the opening show. Must go study since I have finals tomorrow.

As for what else is going on out there since you can't get to Loopz site anymore: 1) Both Creamfields in NY & Vegas were cancelled 2) The DVD is being released on Aug. 27 (Europe) so probably the 28 for us here in the US, but not sure about that. 3) Still no tour dates listed for the US, but Loopz assures me they are coming soon. 4) I ate some corn yesterday. As for the issue about the people selling stuff on ebay, Randy you're right. There are bigger fish to fry or more serious things to worry about in the world. Will i report them, No probably not. I have had to Buy many a bootleg over ebay, so i know it serves its purpose for the buyer and seller. Just thought it was interesting to see the gig up there though, especially since it's only half. I know on other lists that i subscribe to, the people get really upset when they see gigs up on ebay and they do report them. I just have 1 question for ya? N'Sync? WTF!!!!! How they hell did that cross your path? Well that's all for now. See ya.

See www.warprecords.com for details. I'm quite upset about this (trying to avoid using bad words like "pissed"), as I was really anticipating the August 24th show in NYC. Now they cancelled that NYC date and moved the what now is a Plaid/Mira Calix show to the 20th, on a weekday, in some other venue, etc, etc. And, the funny thing is, the price of the ticket went down from $17.50 to $15. So Squarepusher was worth $2.50? Bollocks, I say! I'm surprised that there aren't more people complaining about this, but my guess is that they are just being mature :) Grr, have to go into town tomorrow to get a refund. - Oleg On Thu, 16 Aug 2001 BcallmeD@aol.com wrote: > > I see that the Washington D.C.

Many venues are just cancelling the whole tour but in Hollywood they gave us a choice of a refund or $5 back at the door (tickets were $20 + ticketbastard charges) to see Plaid headline. I love Plaid a lot I think Double Figure is one of the best cd's of all time and I plan to buy the rest of their stuff. **IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE PLAID GO SEE THEM, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!** There have been a lot of cancellations this summer and it's sad. Plus the recent electronic concerts I have been to seem to be VERY undersold and/or filled with an unenthusiastic crowd: 1) Autechre - kind of packed but no one was into it (it was hard for me to get into too though) 2) Juno Reactor - two shows, both less than half full 3) Crystal Method - two shows, one less than half full the other sold out but a dead dead crowd 4) Plaid - kind of packed and semi into it prob the best crowd considering many were probably mad that Squarepusher wasn't playing. I sure hope this type of turn out doesn't deter electronic acts from coming around. It makes me sad when I think that the 'raves' with nothing but DJs (no live acts) can draw 30,000 people but the artists above are usually half selling a 1000 capacity venue.

But this is ok with me because plaid but on a bitching show. I was amazed at how packed it was for Sunday night show and I got a good recording of the show too so that cant be beat. As far as the "decline" of attendance at shows goes : 1.Autechre : Waayyyy Too busy but not enough people were there to see Autechre. More there to be "scene". Hot and stuff was the El Rey and Autechre's set was shit. Some of the opening artists werent bad at all though and I didnt pay to get in so I cant complain too much. 2. Juno Reactor: Wouldve loved to see them, but bad timing and I have a thing against seeing trance in LA - even though Juno Reactor is probably the only group that makes tolerable trance. 3. Crystal Method: Well, they suck. Seen em a couple times (One of which times I only saw them because Orbital was playing after them on their last tour). PLAID KICKS AZZ!

I saw Juno Reactor last June in New York City's Knitting Factory. It was f**king *AWESOME*. I had so much damn fun. The venue was quite small (there was probably like 100 or fewer people in), so I was really close. The real treat was Juno Reactor playing along with a South African group, whose name I forget. That group had six guys, all dressed up and painted up in a native, tribal fashion, banging out *incredible* rhythms out of the big variety of percussion that they had. That show manged to blend trance (psy variety, not ATB or Paul Van Dyk) with ethnic/tribal percussion and sounds (they actually played a few African instruments, names of which I don't know), with Spanish guitar kinda feel (a Spanish chick, dressed traditionally, was dancing along with the traditionally outfitted African group, with Ben Watkins in an orange "Lovers Rock" shirt standing back--where else do you see that?). Sometimes the show had that strong "stadium rock anthem" feel, where the fans were singing, screaming along to sound samples of certain tracks (and humming tunes), sometimes it had the pure electronic psychodelic frenzy, with electronic bass squelching, mutating thru the PA system. Sometimes the audience caught up in magic of the polyrhythmic percussion, aside from which only the electronic bass was playing. There's plenty more to describe, but I need to do work and such. The opening group, Medicine Drum, was also quite good, but I missed the first half of their 1-hr set. I came out of that Juno Reactor show with no voice and my back was sore for the next two days. Riding the New York City subway & ferry seemed surreal, at deep night, after that concert. - Oleg # 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) Plaid/Squarepusher show canceled Date: 16 Aug 2001 20:43:05 -0700 > I saw Juno Reactor last June in New York City's Knitting > Factory.

It seems so powerful and perfect.

Date: 17 Aug 2001 15:34:07 -0500 Man there doesnt seem to be any sort of good news going around about music right now. I mean, all these concert cancellations (some of them for the better; some of these shows [ahem mekka, i originally thought i would go til i read the lineup] seemed to me to be nothing but money fests to capitalise on the recent limp bizkit converts and there insatiable desire to fit into the 'techno underground'), and all these unenthusiastic crowds, what is going on here?! Have we just become spoiled or is it really bleak times? Another factor is the recent slew of terrible albums being released. I have seen crystal method live twice before, and especially the first show i saw before they kinda hit it big was fucking pure ENERGY. damn it was fun, thanks mostly in part to lunatic calm. But ya know, as much fun as I had at both shows, I am boycotting all four texas shows on the grounds of how FUCKING GOD AWFUL their new cd is. And then there's Tricky. I wont lie, I havent heard the whole cd, but what i have heard is very very very sub-par. Evolution Revolution Love??? Hand me a bucket and beat me on the back of the head with a rotting salmon, i want to throw up. NO excuse for that. Ive heard so many people tlaking about the new album from so-and-so being such a disapointment. What is happening to us?! Who shall step forward to save us? I suppose we could put all hope in our Drukqs, but if that turns out to be a bad trip, who pays for the rehab? Will plaid minus Squarepusher lend a hand? Will it be Orbital? Or will we be totally lost by then and think we are just glasses of orange juice (who hasnt heard THAT urban legend)? Not all is bad though, it seems that the good stuff is still here, just below the surface, maybe deeper than before. I have definitely heard some good stuff lately, but it is just sad to kind of witness the changing of the guard if you will. I know I am just sort of parading around the list with a "Repent now! The End is Near!" sign, so somebody else, lets hear some social commentary. And i hope nobody gets bothered by any of this, none of its set in stone I just feel like venting.

Everyone was dancing and cheering and having a good time. Except for the fact the a lot of people in the crowd smelled like they had spent their afternoon sitting in rotting carcasses, everyone was totally into it. I guess it's just because us Canadians know how to party. :) > Who shall step forward to save us?

When there new album hits, we will be able to look into the gardens of musical heaven and say to ourselves, "So this is what it is all about." As for Drukqs, I think it will be like all Aphex disks, some absolutely incredible work meshed in with some distorted scraping sounds. However, I have faith since I really liked Come to Daddy (disk, not song) and Windowlicker. It's all a matter of time. I am looking forward to the Aphex North American tour which is to follow the double LP. Keep faith in this music. There is good music out there. It is just that we can no longer look to the same sources. It is like a return to the time when you first found out about electronic music and you had a hunger which needed to be fed. It was during this time that we found bliss in Orbital, Underworld and the Orb. No we must again continue our search to feed our hunger. But, just imagine what else is out there waiting for us to stumble across. Hope that gave you all some hope. 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: Marc Sawaya Subject: Re: (orbital) Are we all jaded?

See www.warprecords.com for details. this is total hearsay, but i heard that it has something to do with his anxiety with performing in america. somebody who claimed to be "in the know" on the idm-list said that he (sqrpshr) sorta freaked out as he was about to get on the plane to come over here. supporting evidence for this is 1) until this year's coachella, he had NEVER played a show in america, 2) during the coachella set he was evidently guzzling a bottle of vodka and acting, well, drunk, and 3) he has somewhat of a reputation for getting booked at places in the US and then cancelling - the tour with plaid isn't the first time this has happened. but like i said, i have no real evidence for this - it's purely speculation. > they cancelled that NYC date and moved the what now is a Plaid/Mira Calix > show to the 20th, on a weekday, in some other venue, etc, etc. And, the > funny thing is, the price of the ticket went down from $17.50 to $15. So > Squarepusher was worth $2.50? Bollocks, I say! well, i paid $10 to see plaid in denver on tuesday. i then made the mistake of expressing my opinion about the show on the idm-l, and got completely bashed for it. so we'll try again (i'm a glutton for punishment): basically, i thought it was a good show. the music was phenomenal. the visuals were very cool. HOWEVER: -the crowd didn't seem very into it. there were not that many people dancing (idm-l: "why should i have to dance to show that i'm enjoying myself, blah blah, etc, etc"), or even moving or smiling for that matter. the general attitude i thought was just dull and crappy. -plaid weren't actually DOING a whole lot. i feel i know a thing or two about how electronic music is made, and as far as i could tell they were playing their song files in [max/msp/logic/whatever] and tweaking some parameters here and there. NOT that exciting to watch, especially since they didn't seem all that excited doing it. now i don't want to harp on this too much, but i do know that there are some electonic musicians (orbital, e.g.) who take a much more active approach when performing live. actually loading and playing individual loops and samples - not having everything be completely pre-sequenced. i feel like plaid didn't leave themselves very much room to play around, and it came across (to me!) as a bit static and out-of-their-control. so those are my gripes. i feel they are completely valid gripes. however, on idm-l i was accused of everything from "having a bad attitude" (which i don't really understand since i was dancing and enjoying myself, not just standing there motionless chain-smoking cigarettes like the majority) to being a "candy raver" (!). yeah, i don't understand it either. fuckin idm snobs. sorry to bitch about this here. if you saw the show, i'd love to hear what you thought.

At the show that I went to, which was the first for the tour, the excuse that we were given was just simply that he did not get on the plane. Nothing was said about him being sick, which you would think that they would say considering that him being sick is a better excuse than he didn't get on the plane. Oh well, either way, he didn't come. As for what you said about Plaid, I totally here you. I know double figure inside and out due to the amount of play that I give it, and I know that one track for sure was exactly like it was on the disk. However, others were more than just tweaked, they actually had different parts in them. Maybe the new versions were what were programmed in. They did just look like they were just sitting there holding the mouse for the Macs though. I did see one of them crack a smile when the audience went wild over a track. Either way, they still were 100 times more entertaining than Ae's distorted void of randomness.

I wouldn't be too surprised if most people weren't dancing to Plaid because they were probably bummed that Squarepusher didn't play. It seems a lot of people at the SoCal show really wanted to see Squarepusher and hadn't even heard Plaid before. I wish more people danced but it was an ok crowd... > -plaid weren't actually DOING a whole lot. I agree they didn't seem to be doing much but more than half the electronic artists I've seen perform like this. It's ok with me as long as I am showing support to a band I enjoy I don't mind how they want to do their live show. Who loads and plays individual loops other than Orbital? I can't tell with Crystal Method (their show seems less static than most though) or Underworld.

Not often, and all the shows are within a 3-4 hour drive. two of them will only be about 30-45 minutes away from me (Austin, San Antonio) and i know its lucrative but these are the drastic measures i will go to to KILL nosey. If you dont know what Im talking about the Crystal Method have a mascot now, its a guy with a BIG NOSE instead of a face. oh the hilarity of it all. and get this, not only is he funny looking, but he's a bad mama-jama when it comes to breakdancing, skateboarding, chillin with his homeys, and yes, gettin it on. Watch the video for name of the game to understand. in other words its like the Crystal Method are trying to sell themselves using the same tactics i see in commercials for Golden Grahams or Hi-C.

Anyone who like boards of canada or autechre (not new, not old, middle era) or even anyone who is looking for some really inspired hip hop (I don't mean puffy, I mean real hip hop) check out prefuse 73. It is like nothing I have ever heard. It sounds like someone who is totally fed up with the nightmarishly trendy turn that hip hop culture has taken and has decided to reinvent the whole scene on his own with the influences of everyone on the warp label. It is hip hop beats contructed out of chopped up samples and bleeps and clicks. Its got lovely arranged melodies. Its got rapping in the form of old school acapellas being cut up and torn apart over his beats. It even features guest vocalists, and even these vocals are cut up. It is totally incredible, definitly one of my favorites off of warp now. Everyone, head to the website and check out the samples, you won't regret it. If for no other reason then to just experience something new. head to : http://www.warprecords.com/ography/WARP83 You can thank me later. Oh, some tracks have intros before them, but every track actually has a song with it and everything is incredible. 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: Vitaly Grishyn Subject: (orbital) Orbital live mix!

Date: 23 Aug 2001 13:25:06 -0700 (PDT) no, it definately wasn't off of trainer. however, it seemed to me that a good half of their set was brand new stuff, as i didn't recognize a lot of it. i have Not For Threes, Restproof Clockwork, Trainer, Double Figure, and the Peel Session. on a side note, the chicago show had an extra bonus of having Slicker (john hughes III, yes *that* john hughes' son) play. he does nice, dancey, organic stuff, yet still fucked up enough to be creative. a question to anyone else who was at the chicago show: what the hell was that box that slicker kept playing with? it had a little knob that he slid back and forth and apparently only made a high pitch noise. wierd brandon.i ps- i didn't get to do my interview with plaid :( > I have a question for anyone who went to the Plaid > show.

I only recognize one song about an hour into it that sounds like Hybrid. The music sounds really good I like that mix. Only thing that makes me think it might not be Paul is that no Orbital songs are played.. other DJ mixes I heard by Paul had at least one Orbital song in it.

I haven't seen it appear on any U.S.-based music or DVD retailer sites. I hate feeling like a fool hanging around Tower after midnight to get a new item only to realize the release date was pushed back or it wasn't released yet at all. I see the Loopz site only mentions Region 2/3/4/5... which brings me to my personal feelings about not listening to the new album (CD version) until my country's version (the U.S.) is released... Any DVD player can read any DVD. It's simply the region code that tells the DVD player, "wait a minute, this DVD is from a different region than the last one I played, I'd better not play it." There are ways around this, of course, and if movie companies released movies worldwide at the same time in theatres, there would be no need for region codes. Hollywood only does it so that people can't watch the DVD version of a movie that hasn't been released yet in a local theatre. Why not release movies on a global scale? I'm not sure. Maybe a fellow lister has some ideas. All I can think of is possible marketing reasons (i.e., wait for the most profitable release date per region, don't compete with same movie genre type of individual countries) or for necessary format changes. Fortunately, CDs do not have the same restrictions. Even though CDs can be played on the world's many CD players (without any special region-only transfer), they are not distributed worldwide. I assume that CDs are released in various parts of the world at different times so that distributors can keep track of where they are all being sold. If everyone in the U.S. bought the UK import, then the U.S. version came out and nobody bought it, the record company would say, "I guess nobody in the U.S. likes Orbital, there will be no tour there again this year." That would be terrible. But I feel this limitation should be cracked. Wouldn't it be best for everyone to purchase the very first release of an album (in this case, the UK) and write the record company maybe in a way registering the product with them as a foreign consumer. I think if everyone always purchased the first release of a product, record companies would start releasing albums on a larger scale. I don't see why they wouldn't shrug their shoulders and just give in. I'm sure record companies don't strategically release albums so as not to compete with one another, especially now that MTV only plays three bands at a time and radio only replays those three bands that MTV picks. And in the U.S., Orbital won't hit either of those now abominal markets. Anywho, that's just my thought. If there were a way to get the message across to record distributors, instead of being curious about who else has been holding out to hear the new album, I'd be lashing out at everyone who hadn't spent the extra cash to get the import by now...if I thought it would speed up our wait when the next Orbital album comes out. Brian P.S. I see that when "Scary Movie 2" is released in the UK it's going to be called "Scarier Movie." Do movie sequels with numbers in the title not do well there? Just another bit of marketing genius I suppose. # 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: Matthew Ford Subject: (orbital) Middle Of Nowhere Date: 25 Aug 2001 03:50:22 -0700 Got the US promo in at work this week...Havent listened to the second CD stuff yet, as quite a bit of it I don't have yet.

Nothing is showing up! I had my friend who works at Virgin to see if they had a listing for a release date, nothing. So basically we have no idea if and when this might be released here in the US. On the Loopz message board someone had quoted an insider at London records as saying that "it will not be released here in the US. Instead we get the bonus disc." Which is a fuckin' crime. I don't know what these people are thinking. Lets put all this money in to a DVD release, great music, mixing and visuals, and then not release in the US. It would definitely be a big seller, not only with Orbital fans, but as soon as word of mouth gets out, non Orbital fans would buy it due to its quality and creativity. The person who posted the message about it not being released also put up an email address for London records. I would suggest everyone sending an email trying to find out if and when it will be released, and if not let them know they need to get their head out of their asses. Here is the address: info@london-sire.com Lets give em' Hell!!!
