From what I remember, their studio equipment is pretty much the same as everybody else uses. Atari sequencer, Akai samplers, a couple of old analogue synths (Juno 106 etc)...

The sample on "Impact" comes from an old French film dubbed in English (Paul told me the name of it, but I can't remember it at the moment...) The famous 'sample' on "Deeper" is a meditation tape to make people stop smoking that their mother gave to them (it obviously didn't work). The "LC1" sample about UFOs comes from a game show where people were asked how they would behave in strange situations. It's the host reading out a text. >Are any of the vocals done by Phil or Paul?

I got to talk to King Coffee, the drummer for the BS (he's on the NET), and he said that Orital used it without ever contacting them, and when the Sufers contacted Orbital, the Hartnol's were VERY surprised, saying that they thought the BS were "too inbread" to listen to techno, much less Orbital. Neat story, tho! Is the Peel Sessions only a European release? The just recently released the Meat Beat Peel Sessions in the US domestically.

I did not write the article, Robin J Green did, but Hey! I was there, and I was probably stood next to Robin for most of the gig without actually knowing he was him, if you know what I mean... There is an "Orbital live at Oscillate" tape available from Oscillate itself, although I'm unsure as to the legalities concerning this release, it's basically a bootleg, but when Beyond records release their 'Live At Oscillate' compilation [soon, apparently] there will be contributions from P&P. Also, Paul DJed for Oscillate a few weeks ago, and while it was of course very good, he should have played a lot more ORBITAL!!!! The only thing I recognised was their brilliant remix of Back To The Planet's "DAYDREAM" [the highlight of the evening], which I have been singing ever since, much to the dismay of everyone who knows me.

I know many people on the list would be interested. Well, I'll give Oscillate a ring later in the week, and see what they think. Whether or not that's the right way about it, I don't know..! I'll give it a try, but like I say, having these tapes in circulation would probably be frowned upon by Internal... The tapes from Oscillate are FIVE english pounds each, whether or not I could get a deal on a bulk buy, I've no idea...If I could get a rough idea of who wants them, and maybe even a list of addresses, then I've got something more concrete to go and offer them.

Discography info? Riiiigghhht! It came out in about August 1993. Back To The Planet are an English crusty- techno-pop band, who toured with Orbital on some tour last year, being friends of the band, they wanted Orbital to do a remix. And they did. Simply titled "Daydream Orbital Mix", and indeed misprinted on the sleeve as "Daydream remix by Adrian Sherwood" it's no suprise that not many people have knowledge of it. However, the nice "INCLUDES ORBITAL REMIX" sticker should have given it away for most people. I'd imagine that BTTP are only on European/British release, as they are on Parallel records, a small UK indie label. What can I say? I got it for less than two english pounds [half price for a CD single] when it came out. It's bloody marvellous, naturally. It may well still be available, but not being a particularly big fan of BTTP, I rarely check their selection of singles in record stores. Now I think about it, I think the Orbital remix was also on the cassette and 12" formats of the release.

Date: 16 Mar 1994 10:49:40 GMT Orbital Live at Oscillate, Birmingham, Sat June 5th, 1993. Well, Higher Intelligence Agency pulled of a classic one. They went to the MegaDog with Orbital and booked them for June 5th in Brum. The day approached... That evening we arrived at the much-fly-postered-Oscillate-extravaganza at the Dance Factory in Birmingham, searched on entry and got into this well dingy place. Loads of wall hangings from Oscillate and parachutes. Met the lighting crew who were friends from the 3rd Eye Soundsystem who got this event by a chance phone-call. They were well chuffed. About an hour plus of 'Ambient Grooves' e.g. stuff off the Ambient Dub albums and a little Aphex thrown in. The audience were being really crap until about 10min before HIA came on when people grudgingly committed themselves to the evening. (Dontcha just hate that? If you go to an event to dance, do it EARLY. Commit and encourage.) Then HIA come on. Excellent set with two new tracks and three off their albums. The new tracks were very techno-electro-blips and hard breaks. A change from "Message from a Higher Intelligence" (but only cos I've heard it so much) or "Speed-Learn". A little keyboard trouble, but I only noticed that because I've had the same problems. Led to a cut down mix of something fairly acidic done live. They coped well, no-one really noticed. The DJing took up the tempo after that and the crowd danced on. Orbital came on at about 12:30am, just as everyone was getting ready to sit down, so we all danced through. This, as it turned out, was a bad move. Everyone I know died on their feet before the end. Anyway. Orbital started with "Planet of the Shapes", went into "Lush 3-1" and "Lush 3-2" and "Impact (The earth is burning)" as per the album. By that time the audience was KNACKERED. Then they pulled a master stroke - the played "Chime Remix" raw and live. The party took off! The whole sound was raw and upfront, making full use of the 909 breaks they had (big thing, size of a suitcase!). The 303 was sadly underused in my opinion, but that's only because I'm an '88 Acid House nut. Amazing noises like you've never dreamed of, and some surprising uses of sounds you'd think wouldn't work together. As it was raw and live, the levels aren't as subtle as on a fully produced album, so you get to pick out the different parts and it's an eye-opening experience just what they get away with! At that point, someone either kicked over the cables or a circuit fused, bacause it all died. Bugger! The Oscillate DJ's kept us simmering until Orbital could kickstart their system again (and that's no mean feat as theit set is fully intermixed). They came back with "Halcyon" I think (by this time I was too knackered to care really. The music just kept on coming) and went through some unidentifiable track which may be new, but may just be something off the first album radically remixed. Towards the end, which ended with "The Naked and the Dead" (with lots of fiddling with the parametric mixer) old P&P were up on stage really grooving away, smoking cigs almost the whole time. The audience had witnessed an excellent live techno set (streets ahead of HIA and totally unlike anyone else) and it just felt special. After 1.5 hours of Orbital (not including the 0.5hour break for rebooting their system) the 5 pounds entrance fee seemed amazing value for money. I'd recomment it to anyone - go see Orbital live if you can and you WILL NOT be disappointed. - - Robin. [Written by Robin J Green.

CD Europe is a BBS in Silicon Valley so you can order your imports online. It's like CD Connection, but there they don't have an Internet connection, so you can't telnet or ftp in or anything. The phone number is: 408-730-8138 I've never ordered anything from them, and I don't know any of the people running it. And personally, I think Dave Steinhart has better prices at EAR/Rational (mail to: ear-rational@xmission.com). (I'm not connected with him, either) My only interaction with them was when I tried to get some info about 3 entries in their database with different prices, but they all had the same name. They have their own numbering system, and wouldn't tell me what the matrix number was for the entries, so there was no way to tell what I was buying.

The most noteworthy track is probably massif by ramjac. I was surprised to find out that mixmaster morris was involved with this track, it's sounds nothing like his other stuff. I acually heard this alot about 6 months ago ("It's this joy that I'm feelin, I'm on planet E"), I had no idea it was that old. Andy
