I think, "Halcyon + on + on" was very appropriate for the soundtrack. Agree? Disagree? Any comments on the new, "Time Flys" single. Are we here?

It's >a beautiful track a highlight of the first album >Mike Byrne YES. YESSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats it! Thanks for putting me out of my misery Mike. It is a bit New Order like. VERY wierdly enough I'm (well it's just stopped now - but when I read your mail I was) just listning to it. And it IS just awesome. ...the first album being the brown one right? It's on there? That's (I think) the only one I ain't got. I keep meaning to get it... Can somebody put me right on this though. I've got three CDs : the green one (2nd one?), Snivilisation and some excellent US import I bought not so long back called ... shit, totally forgotten. It's orange coloured and has remixes by CJ Bolland, Underworld and others. Very excellent. Are there any others I don't know about ??? Rich The green one is the first one (and if I'm not mistaken it has the original bersion of Belfast on it). It doesn't have a name (I'm like you, I just call it "The Green One" all the time) and it's more a collection of singles than a proper album. The next one (and the best in my opinion) is the Brown album (Orbital 2?). The orange one you refer to is Diversions. There is also a Peel sessions disk (though some of the same tracks are present on Diversions), and an EP I have heard referred to as "The Radiccio EP" with a song called "The Naked and the Dead" that I haven't ever seen anywhere else. But get the Brown album for sure. It rocks! It easily holds a firm place in my Top Ten albums of all time list (along with New Order-Substance, Yello-80-85, Meat Beat Manifesto-Satyricon and the newest entry, The Chemical Brothers-Exit Planet Dust). Also check out Orbital's mix of Madonna's Bedtime Stories, it's really good. Even if you hate Madonna. P.S. - Does anyone know where I can lay my grubby paws on a copy of Orbital's Mutations EP?

I think jungle and trip-hop are currently the most innovative snd impressive music around. (for example the most recent Gerald lp and the new Luke Vibert (WagonChrist) single respectively). I was beginning to get a bit bored with the more stale techno rythms (4/4) and jungle and trip-hop both offer a more rhymically interesting alternative. Orbital have always beens more rhythically diverse than many of their counterparts (and also seemingly more interested in structure and melody). so it not's surprising that they taken some influence from the current jungle scene as well as the more laid-back trip-hop scene, while still maintaining thier distinctive sound. I just love the main Time Flies refrain (sorry riff sounded a bit naff) with the messed about vocal over it. And the percussion on both fast and slow versions is great.

If you like the Lush EP, I hope that you have _Diversions_. It is old news to many on the list, I am sure, but "Lush 3-6 (Underworld)" is about 40 seconds longer on _Diversions_ than on the Lush EP. To keep the Lush EP under 40 minutes, the track was faded. Owners of the Lush EP miss out on a short bit of Underworld electro-dub madness. Fortunately _Diversions_ offers the full track. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jonathan Mark Logan Subject: Re: Discography Date: 08 Sep 1995 15:42:38 -0700 (PDT) GAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

Date: 08 Sep 1995 16:41:00 PDT >Also check out Orbital's >mix of Madonna's Bedtime Stories, it's really good. Even if you hate >Madonna. I disagree. I think that's the weakest cut on the remix CD - and I absolutely worship Orbital (I also happen to like Madonna too, but that's irrelevant here) I must say that I like some of the Junior Vasquez mixes a bit more. The Orbital remix seems a little too dissonant. I agree that the Vasquez mixes are good too. Dissonant? Hmm, I might have to go back and listen to that disc some more. Can you tell me more about the Mutations EP you discuss? I've never actually seen a copy anywhere (or heard any of the versions for that matter), but I know it exists on CD in one form and on vinyl in a couple of others. One I am particularly keen on hearing has a Meat Beat Manifesto remix. Orbital's rework of Mindstream (Remind) on The Brown Album is stellar, a pure endorphin rush every time I listen to it. So I figure MBM would do a similarly amazing remix back. [Speaking of Meat Beat, the new EBN disc Telecommunication Breakdown (produced by Jack Dangers) is great. Worth getting even if you don't have a computer to play the CD-ROM stuff on] One other Orbital track to look out for is a live version of Impact done at Glastonbury. The copy I have is from a tape that came with a copy of Select magazine, but I saw it on CD somewhere. Anyone who thinks live techno lacks energy should give this one a listen. The brothers Hartnoll put on an amazing live show. Their San Francisco appearance with Aphex Twin and Moby is one of the high points of my existence.

If i remember correctly something about certain people being susceptible to certain sound frequencies but not to be afraid if you are one of those people. After this sample the main Oolaa motif comes in (I think but I've not listened to it for a while) I cant remember exactly what was on the other eps but they included versions of Steel Cube Idolatry and Fahrenheit 303 among others with mixes by Dave Dorrell and the Hartnolls themselves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael Byrne Subject: Re: Mutatations (was re roger that) Date: 13 Sep 1995 11:29:35 BST > I think their was only 2. > > The EP you mention above (the one I want :-)) and the EP with fahrenheit > 3D3 (as is printed on the cover) and Steel Cube Idolatry mix by Dave > Angel & Dave Dorell. > > if their is a 3rd what is on it.... > > Cheers, > > Mike > > Yeah there were only two vinyl eps.

Date: 14 Sep 1995 16:39:52 -1200 Jungle has got really wicked now, the old breakbeat stuff was just nosebleed but since dub came in it's been great. So I'm glad Orbital have picked up some Junglist vibes. BTW when they Jungle-up old tunes live it works really well, espacially at Tribal Gathering where the music was just incredibly funky and syncopated. Sorry if you're Stateside and just don't get the chance to see 'em but the Jungle beats all make so much SENSE live. Yeah Mutations is good, get it if you can, though there's nothing on there to match the glory of their remix of Meat Beat. And yeah, the live version of Impact is, well... quite possibly the best piece of music ever made. Unbelievably intense groovy bleepy techno which is also incredibly beautiful.And danceable. It's on two compilations: the "Serious Road Trip" triple CD benefit for victims of the war in Bosnia, and the Tribal People's benefit CD. Unfortunately it is by far the most interesting track on either compilation... Speaking (as people were) of the early stuff, what about Satan? This was effectively a (very popular) DJ single. It's great. Probably the best of the early stuff (with the arguable exception of Chime which in my opinion only really works live), it's an aggressive, rap driven rave number, very threatening, which starts with the famous "Regret / Satan" sample that started off the Butthole Surfers fabulous acid punk album, Locust Abortion Technican. Yeah, Satan's cool. I can see the T-shirts now: "Make Mine SATAN!" I read a news story in the NME recently saying that a lot of the early unavailable stuff will be compiled onto a CD this autumn. Dunno if this is a confirmed report though... anybody heard anything?

Date: 18 Sep 1995 11:01:41 +0100 (BST) I've been monitoring the stuff about the Time Flys EP......caution has been given as to this new!! direction....it's not exactly that new...Snivalization in parts is very drum n' bass influenced, the Times Flys ( slow ) is a cracking piece of music...I wouldn't say it was true drum n' bass, the brothers have applied their own blend, which is instantly recognisable and quite brilliant ( a good example is Are we Here!! ), listen closely to the beats on times fly, they are supurbly put together, extremely intellegient!! Many of you who think Orbital still means Lush, Impact, Belfast e.t.c....will probably not like this new direction...and I can understand why.....but I think journeying this way orbital are just getting better and better!! If you love the green and brown albums....GREAT stick with them they are very good...but for fresh tunes and a quite possible wicked future ( and this doesn't mean drum n' bass style )....join the Orbital evolution!!!!!

So I don't think you're alone in your opinions, Philip. Personally, I don't think i've experienced this new Jungle sound of theirs. I still haven't manged to lay my hands on Times Fly. I'm not paying rip-off NL prices!! But i'm intruiged. By all this discussion it sounds like a fairly radical change. Sbd mentioned that Snivilisation showed the signs of a move in this direction. This, i can relate to. It took me quite a while to get into it. I even didn't play it for months at first. But slowly it started to sink in and now I love it. So, I await with baited breath... Speaking of TG's though, as I was. Was it sbd on *this* list that was asking about one in Munich. There *is* one on there. Nov 4 at the airport. It doesn't sound like it'll be quite as good as the UK one but I reckon it'll have to be done!

At least I think so, I checked your discog Lazlo and couldn't find an entry. SO here is the scoop. Right now it's a UK only release, but it is slated to be released in the US as well, later, who knows when... Orbital - Adnan (3:43) GO! Discs 828 682-2 It was all very rush rush apparently...all the bands recorded the songs onthe 4th of this month and it came out on the 11th I think...there is a rad remake of the theme from the Magnificent Seven by One World Orchestra! But I don't know really how to describe the orbital track...sounds like it could have come one the Time Fly ep to me...pretty slow and "serious", as a friend of mine commented...check it out.

Wow, I hope nobody flames you just for saying that! Well, personally I thought the TG show was right up there with some of the best I've ever seen by any band. Even better than at the Megadogs. In contrast, though I love the Drum Club, I thought their set was a bit dull. However, I do admit that the E was coming on a lot stronger during Orbital. 8-)~ Interesting contrast. >fast, hard and trippy tunes that you could go berserk to, not slow >plodding stuff that bored me shitless. Hey -- did you see Richie Hawtin or Carl Cox DJ? I thought their sets were just gobsmackingly brilliant. What did you think? BTW for "fast, hard and trippy tunes that you could go berserk to", there were plenty of them at Return to the Source last night (Saturday). Great music, crowd was a bit big and "overground" -- anyone else go? >> On a slightly different subject, I was hanging around the Virgin >> Megastore --as usual, and I found out that CJ Bolland has an album out. >> I was wondering if anybody has listened to it or has heard any reviews >> about it? I listened to it a bit too briefly ina Virgin Megastaore and it was OK -- fairly trancey, some good throbbing bits, but overall a bit dull. I wouldn't mind giving it another go though.
