"spaceballs"? is >that anything like a MIDI ball? 59 pounds * 1.5 = dollars I know this is gonna sound like over hype but: GLASTONBURY IS A MUST: A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL!!!! I've been three times and have had a great time at each. The 1000 bands bit is wrong, its a 100. The 17 stages is true. There are five stages organised by the festival and the rest are organised by other people. Once in everything is free apart from food and substance abuse. Every kind of music and entertainment (yes every kind if you keep walking around the fest you'll find everything from snuff movie theatres to phsycoactives to the samaritens) at least two or three all night raves every night as well as other styles of music and entertainment. The fest normaly warms up two days before the official start. If the travellers are let in this time then it will warm up a week before. GO REALY GO. Wheather wise the friday night is traditionaly raining (mud surfing is good fun) and sat and sun are normaly very hot and sunny. Ok I'll stop. I'm reliving it all now. If you want more info just ask.

Glastonbury is held in England this year from Friday June 24th - Sunday June 26th. It's real, it's official and tickets are available from Ticketmaster in England. They cost 63 pounds, which works out around $94-50 under current exchange rates. The festival is held on a huge farm which is turned over to the organisers each time the event takes place. On it are placed two large stages, one for premier bands and singers, the other as an overflow stage for some of the slightly more alternative music. Around these stages a small village is basically built. Hundreds of stalls and tents are put up. Theatres, Cinemas, Circuses, you name it, it's there. The atmosphere is incredible. It's been going for a fair while now. The first few years of the festival it was only on every-other year I belive. Now it is almost an annual event, with years being skipped where people has misbehaved in some way the previous year. There was one year where a bunch of 'travelers' wouldn't move on and the organisers got really annoyed. Now travelers are not supposed to be allowed. Anyway, the crux of this message is to tell you all to GO! Don't miss Glastonbury under any circumstances. Each time I go I realised how much I would have kicked myself if I hadn't gone. - - Brian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Roger D Bucks Subject: Orbital:Satan Date: 09 May 1994 10:45:37 BST I managed to pick up a CD copy of this over the weekend (and I've already got one) but does anyone else want it?

The notice on the back cover says the comp is copyright EMI Records, so maybe "Positiva/EMI" would be a more accurate listing for the label. The track itself is an edit, the booklet lists it as 3:44, which sounds about right - I don't have easy access to a player with time display at this point. > [EMF: It's You] > 12": 1992 UK (...) > CD5: 1992 US (EMI DPRO-04668) [promo] > 12": 1992 US (EMI SPRO-04669) [promo] > 9:01 It's You (13 1/2% extra mix) [Orbital rmx/addl prod] This is also on EMF's Japanese release 'Remixes & Collaborations.' I saw this disc in a store last week, the label didn't seem to be listed but the cat number was TOCP-7919. The cover listed the time as 9:03. (And you know you need a break from the Internet when you find yourself standing in a record store writing down info from the back of a record you have no intention of buying.) > [Meat Beat Manifesto: Edge of No Control] > 12": 1992 UK (...) This was released in the US in '92 on Mute as a CD5 (9 66375-2).

Any records I find I'll buy and then contact anyone who asked for them and get some offers in. The problem is nowadays that the people who have the CDs and 12"s usually know how much to sell them for. (ie over 15 quid) so I would suggest that if anyone is prepared to pay *that* sort of money then he/she could contact me and then I'll be more likely to find the records.

Date: 11 May 1994 08:48:09 -0400 (EDT) Hey there... nothing against anyone into this or on this service, but most of the messages/transmissions really didn't hold much interest for me. And so, after this, I will be removing my name from this e-mailing service. What did strike me as interesting however is that I would almost consistently disagree about what were good as opposed to poor mixes and/or pieces by Orbital. For example: I think Chime is kinda dull. Very pretty, but not interesting. Whereas I think Choice is one of their most brilliant and energetic pieces. Trance is nice, but I'm getting a little tired of pieces that have no bite to them. Also: I think the original mix of All The Naked And The Dead is 1000% more interesting than the Dub-Mix. It just hits me more aggressively. Anyway, the coolest posting was of their equipment rig. I'm a synthesist and will be putting out at least one single by the end of the summer. It was nice to see that they use a Jupiter Six. That's my favorite synth in my studio. I will never sell it! The ride has been a nice one here, just not a very interesting one overall, and so, with that in mind, this is my first and last posting. I do however consider Orbital to be masters of mixing textures and layering - - much in the way that I appreciate Tangerine Dream. TD were a big love of mine and in many ways I feel that Orbital picked up where TD left off, and made it fiercely dancy. I've seen Orbital live (w/Meat Beat) and can't wait to see them again! cheers... antman : dark-bit : x-mod ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Roger D Bucks Subject: Me (but CD stuff mainly) :) Date: 11 May 1994 10:56:13 BST I have one or two EMails maybe indicating that I'm profiteering (I think that's the word).

Yes, but the US tracklist is quite different: UK: US: The Moebius 07.02 Belfast 08.07 Speed Freak 07.17 The Moebius 07.02 Oolaa 06.24 Speed Freak (Moby Mut.) 05.41 Desert Storm 12.06 Fahrenheit 3D3 07.05 Fahrenheit 303 08.25 Desert Storm 12.06 Steel Cube Idolatry 06.34 Oolaa 06.24 High Rise 08.22 Chime 08.04 Chime Live 05.57 Satan 06.46 Midnight Live 06.54 Choice 05.33 Belfast 08.07 Midnight 05.07 [Untitled] 00.51 To sum up, they have four tracks in common (The Moebius, Oolaa, Desert Storm, and Belfast). Two of the US tracks are remixed from the UK version (Speed Freak and Fahrenheit; these are both on the Mutations CD). Two UK tracks (Chime and Midnight) are live versions, while the US CD has the original 12" mixes. Finally, each disc has two tracks completely absent from the other.

Date: 18 May 1994 13:26:37 BST The UK probably doesn't get the US CD cos no-one in the UK seems to realise it exists. Because they released the album with different tracks on and because they don't sell as many copies as Madonna and cos the only people who seem to know about Orbital are singles specialists and cos we're British..... NEway, I tried to find a copy and was told it didn't exist [and all the other excuses] by quite a few shops.

Date: 19 May 1994 12:00:55 BST Message from the HIA/Oscillate collective Oscillate sound system tel: 021 449 0310 fax: 021 449 5269 Hello again, news letter no.9 this time, & here's the two main bits of news straight off: OUR FIRST OSCILLATE ALLNIGHTER, June 3rd at the Que club. It's two years now since Oscillate began, so it's a bit of a special occasion this one. Three live acts, an extra large sound system, regular Oscillate non-dj's HIA & (new regular) Stef from A Positive Life, plus special guest on the decks, Paul Hartnoll (Orbital), extra visuals, a chillout room, a nice venue..... HIA will be on first, being the hosts, followed by Sun Electric, and Locust. It runs from 9 till 6, and there is a soft drinks licence all night, NO ALCOHOL will be available. We would advise buying tickets in advance, (stlg10) not only to be sure of getting in, but also to get in quicker, since the queue for ticket holders will be let in first. We've heard that the whole process of getting in takes quite a while, partly because of the THOROUGH SEARCHES - please take note! Tickets will be available at The Plastic Factory record shop on Corporation Street right up till 5.30 on the day of the Oscillate (if not sold out), also from the Ambient Soho record shop, 5 Berwick St. London. If you live miles away from either of these places, then you can get them from us if you send a STAMPED ADDRESSED ENVELOPE, no later than 26th May, to the address below, enclosing stlg10 per ticket. If by cheque, make it out to 'Oscillate music'. NEXT MAJOR HAPPENING: Keep the first weekend in August clear, especially all you ORBITAL, HIGHER INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, OSCILLATE, AUTECHRE, AMSTERDAM and GENERALLY HAVING A GOOD TIME ENTHUSIASTS, because we're off to Holland to do a big all-nighter in a massive empty gas-holder (a round one). It's on August 6th, and apart from the above named acts playing live, there will be the telepathic fish/open-mind collective in the chill- out tent, alongside Mixmaster Morris, and sound sculptor Jony Easterby, and there'll be two more live acts to be confirmed. We really hope that a lot of you will make your way over there, because after all, it wouldn't feel like a proper Oscillate without you regular Oscillators there. Call us in a few weeks (after June 3rd) if you want to go, we'll have more details then on where to get tickets, how much, how to get there, etc... OUR REGULAR OSCILLATES at Bonds continue as usual...May 27th no live act, instead we have Dr Alex Paterson from The Orb as a special guest on the decks. June 10th we have a MIDI Circus/Oscillate, with the Drum Club and Pressure Of Speech playing live. June 24th, not sure yet, we might make it a bit of a 'Mini Glastonbury' night, for those of us still in Birmingham - 'bring a teepee night' perhaps! It's possible that we'll have System 7 playing, but it's not confirmed. HIA LIVE DATES...May 20th: Megadog, The Rocket. May 27th: Obsession Festival. June 3rd: Que Club. June 16/17/18th MIDI Circus (Newcastle/ Aberdeen/Edingburgh). June 1/2/3rd: Berlin Festival. July 30th: Copenhagen "Ambient Day in a Park". August 6th: Amsterdam Oscillate. Their 'REFORM' ep is out now on Beyond. OTHER THINGS: The membership cards/later licence at BOnds etc...well, it hasn't happened as soon as we thought it would, when we last wrote you a news-letter, but it IS still likely to happen at some point, hopefully not too far off. If you haven't collected your card, and you want to do it by post, send us 50p and a STAMPED ADDRESSED ENVELOPE, and we'll mail it to you. AND THAT'S IT 'COS WE'VE RUN OUT OF SPACE - SEE YOU SOON!

Unfortunately it is out of date so I can't say the prices are actually correct (I'll send for a new catalogue) but here are some of the prices; Belfast 17 Pounds Midnight (Sasha mix) 22 pounds Omen 8 pounds Mutations EP 8 pounds (according to the catalogue "inc 2 chime mixas" Chime 17 pounds The naked and the dub 7 pounds These are not including P&P from my end but the prices are likely to drop if I get large orders in. (Cos P&P from the mail order company will drop), The Mutations CDs I oredered haven't arrived yet but I'll send out EMails to those who asked when they do. The search continues....

Well, the guys who put out the Volume compilations in the UK have been doing this 'Encyclopedia of Rock' in each issue where they take each letter and write humorous things about rock groups in general. One of the O entries in Volume Nine is for Orbtial. Reprinted without premission: Orbital - Huge road that goes all the way round London. Orbital are first of new bread of anonymous 'techno' outfits that eschew conventional notions of rock stardom and instead don dark clothing and attempt to mutate with the aid of psychedelic exercise (see PSYCHEDELIA) into modern architetural forms. Most successful exponents of this genre, Orbital started out in 1990 as brothers Rick and Jack Parnell but are now a six lane road covering 270 miles and stretching over three counties as the crow flies. However, unlike conventional rock and pop outfits for whom increased popularity means increased album sales, Orbital's phenomenal success has resulted in a grim descent to the lower reaches of the Top 75 after an exceptionally bright start. Explanation appears to be that quality of album tracks has declined as brothers have become progressively flatter and longer and hand-to-eye co-ordination has suffered. Mother, Mrs Parnell, and immediate family claim to be "concerned" about parlous state of Orbital's career - but all regularly drive across both brothers while commuting to work.
