Hehe..a funny thing...I am now playing Halcyon LIVE mp3 with WinAMP :) It kinda goes with the subject but has absolutely nothing to do with Chris' post.

For someone who has never seen Orbital live, it was breathtaking. I watched in awe as the brothers ripped it up. The notorious specs were wicked. I want to go see them live, but will most likely have to wait for their next tour. I missed my last chance which was last summer. I had just started listening to orbital two months before, and didn't have access to knowledge. I found out about it after it happened. man was I pissed off.

Yikes! That is a strong statement. It kind of reminds me of my one friend. My friend used to get mad at the radio stations for two reasons: 1) they would overplay songs that he enjoyed 2) they would play bands that he heard of BEFORE they were popular. (He thought he was the shit because He liked them _first_. SO who is everybody mad at? Are you guys mad at Prodigy for making bad music? (it seems you guys enjoyed the last two albums and are getting all worked up because you don't like "Firestarter." [I personally like the INstrumental better than the shouting.]) Maybe you guys are mad at the song. Or maybe you are mad at the fact that the US is trying to commericalize electronica and they don't know what they are talking about. This is more acceptable angst. Anyways, quit the whining. I don't think you guys should be mad at a quality (Yeah- I said QUALITY) group like Prodigy. No, they are not Orbital.

Of course, you might want to try to hear it first, if you're not too used to his stuff.... its the most "dancable" and energetic of anything I've heard by him, very distorted sounds, beautifully chaotic rhythms, the whole bit. And since trying to find the actual singles would be next to impossible (on the far side of impossible, I mean), I'd say that $27 isn't too bad, especially if you got another In Sides for the bonus disk. I got my copy for $15 'cause it was on sale, but knowing how it sound, I'd be willing to plunk down $27....its worth at least two other cds to me. The ventolin, though, I'd stay away from... there's a version of it that collects both his remixes and other people's remixes onto one cd, I think it's an american release, its on Sire records. It not only has all the stuff that's on the 2 part import singles (british, dunno about the japanese version), but its cheaper than either at import prices. So if you didn't already know about that one, go for it instead of a $27 Japanese single, it'll probably have as much good stuff, for only around $7. well, that's my long-winded recommendation..... ryan # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orbital" in the message. # Postings must go to orbital@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ricc Subject: Re: (orbital) Personal Intro Date: 02 Jun 1997 01:38:15 -0400 I'll go do a >quick web search and see what I can find out... brb >{{{time passes}}} >Ok, I found some stuff...

First...id read the NME review and then actually see what they are saying. I gotta agree and it was said to a few people within the Orbital clan. They shouldnt do ANY more gigs until they had wrote new stuff. Its annoying...this is another pressure thing from the record company as i see it. Only in March did Paul say and i quote "We need to write some new stuff" , "If we tour again, it would just be the In Sides set again". This was a reaction to a question popped by my good ol m8 Mick (^EA^) to whether they was interested in doing Organic. It all stems down to why Orbital are doing these gigs...No sensible record company will release an album during October to Xmas. It just doesnt sell that well, too much competition at that time of year. So Orbital either had to finish the album by the summer and that would mean rushing. So they aint gonna do that. So they were offered another tour in the states and god knows why...but they are doing it (another bad idea in my opinion). Its probably because the pressure of everyone else is doing summit over there now. But the whole idea of doing Tribal was to be on the same bill as Kraftwerk (Pauls favourites). They did try and do new live stuff (Sunday/Kinetic) but no NEW TRACK stuff has been written because they have been too busy touring the states ,doing other commitments and trying to keep Jo Public happy (a very hard thing to do). >but the feeling was that although they were >amazing on new years eve, we knew what to expect, there were no >surprises, nothing new and unexpected. obviously we didnt know the set >list by heart but we had abetter than average idea as to what tracks they >were going to play.

I, in fact, LOVE "The Experience". There is no need to put any of the bands down at all because its not their faults. Though i still hold true to my statement about them being happy-hardly-hardcore. They try but it just doesnt work, though of course who knows, maybe (and i think definately) theyre not even trying to make specific genre music which makes them all the better. and i fucking HATER Chemical Brothers, its just random beats with nothing else.

Then they went crazy, dyed their hair, got some tatoos, and had some piercing done. Now, they are known world wide for being strange, and people love to look at strange people. It's like a freak show. Think about this for a while, and you will see the resemblance (sp?).

Shillito" Subject: Re: (orbital) N.O. - prodigy Date: 02 Jun 1997 17:11:34 +0100 Whilst the likes of MTV pigeonhole acts like the Prodigy as Techno, electronic based music will never be accepted as true music. Musicians spout off, sating that 'it's all made by computers' but it takes skill and patience to create all kinds of music, whether it's enectonic or 'live'. By saying that the Prodigy have sold out is wrong, they have simply evolved into a different sound, which breaks down all boundaries. Orbital are indeed one of the coolest bands on the planet, from me you'll get no argument about that, but the likes of the Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers are also well deserved of praise as indeed are the likes of Korn, Fear Factory, Machine Head etc. We all listen to whatever we do because we like it.....lets leave it at that....... ---------- > From: *jim briggs iii > To: Skylink3@aol.com > Cc: orbital@xmission.com > Subject: Re: (orbital) N.O. - prodigy > Date: 02 June 1997 03:32 > > Skylink3@aol.com wrote: > > > it is kind of frustrating how prodigy has made a mockery of techno. we have > > some beautiful music being made now and you got some fool yelling about > > starting fires selling millions of copies to 15 year old kids who think that > > this is real techno. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orbital" in the message. # Postings must go to orbital@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Chris.Hilker" Subject: Re: (orbital) Carl Craig Date: 01 Jun 1997 01:40:29 -0700 >ANyways, that is the record company behind Carl Craig, whose CD I just >bought. It is pretty amazing. Remember that name, kiddies, because it is >going to be big. anyone else heard of him? Er, Mr Craig's name already is quite big, thank you. I mean, coproducing "Strings of Life" basically puts you at the top of the list, doesn't it? Planet E is the label he runs. He's made a shitload of classic tracks and you'd do well to investigate his back catalogue, in addition to 'More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art,' which is the album I assume you just bought: Psyche/BFC: 'Elements 1989-1990' (Planet E PEPBFC96-CD) 6 9: 'The Sound of Music' (R&S RS95078CD) Paperclip People: 'The Secret Tapes of Dr. Eich' (Planet E PE65230) These three discs compile lots of tracks from EP's he's released over the years, along with a bit of unreleased material. Also well worth your time is 'Intergalactic Beats,' a Planet E compilation that's one of the best techno comps ever, in my opinion. There's a second Planet E comp ('Elements and Experiments with Sound,' or something) that I didn't like much - too many people trying to sound like Basic Channel. Craig also has another album, 'Landcruising,' on Blanco y Negro, that people seem to either love or hate (I'm in the latter group). Last, but not least, definitely check out the "Bug in the Bassbin" remix single on Mo'Wax - the "Jazz Mix" puts just about all other so-called jazzy techno to shame. Well, it ain't Orbital, but it sure as hell beats the Prodigy...

Yesterday, I purchased my first Orbital CD, the "brown" album, after hearing a bit about them, and I absolutely love it; it's the only music I've ever heard that really seems to take me someplace else. Today, after subscribing to the e-mail list, I went out to look for more, but here in Charleston, SC, there's really no selection at all. I was wondering if there was any way to buy Orbital CDs through the Internet or regular mail. Any help would be appreciated. Also, what's the general consensus on the Chemical Brothers? I personally think they're great, but not quite as good as Orbital. And the new Smashing Pumpkins song? Just curious.

I seem to notice that most the members of the lis that are slamming them all seem to be American, seems very strange to me, I wonder why??????? As i recall the Prodigy have worked hard to get where there are working with an Independent label here in the UK XL Recordings, and now that they have such a huge fan base, you are all saying that they have sold out, maybe you don't recognise them for what they are, Hard Industrial Techno, where as Orbital tend to be more towards the Ambient Techno side of things, so maybe the cross over doesn't work for you guys, but it sure does for me! As them playing shit live sets, I can say I have seen them and the Prodigy put on one hell of a live set, and I can't see many of you guys jumping aropund on a stage dancing for more than an hour and a half, so if they can't do it for longer does that mean they've sold out, the Hartnolls don't dance they just do their thing to get the crowd excited, and play amazing tunes, where as the Prodigy feed off of Raw energy in the crowd, and if the crowd ain't pumping Maxim gets them pumping, so maybe you guys should take some time to appreciate everyones contribution to the Techno world, instead of just taking it all at face value, and what the music press want you to believe!

Actually no. I have spent much time arguing against the "band X was 'underground' but now that they're popular they suck" mentality. Popularity means nothing as long as you're still writing music that means something to you. However, when you start to think of your image and you're popularity above the quality of the music, that's when you 'sell out'. >Uhh, hello, it's a classic Maxim thing. I think it's just stupid and arrogant. God, I hate bands that are assholes to the crowd. It just pissed me off that I have paid ridiculous amounts of money and driven myslef somewhere to see a band just to be insulted and flipped off. >The songs do not sound the same, and I'm sure the popularity has gone to their >heads slightly, it's natural. I'm sure Orbital has had the same thing happen. But Orbital's music has continued to improve since they got popular. Prodigy's, IMHO, has gotten a bit stale. It's alright but it's not as original as the stuff from Experience or even Jilted. With oprbital you can see a progression of style over time. Prodigy has stayed exactly the same...it's just not that interesting to listen to anymore. >Uh, Live act? His name is Liam Howlett. You know, the intellectual trained in >classic piano. You obviously aren't seeing it fully, you need to *listen* more >instead of analyzing it so much like everyone else who reads Spin, MTV, or >BAM, etc. does. First of all, I don't read any of those publications, or watch very much MTV. But even if I did...who cares? You see I have a brain, which is capable of independant thought...I don't have to just see stuff on TV and say "Uhhh duuuhhhhh I guess that must be the truth because I'm certainly too stupid to try to form my own opinion, or to take this AND other sources into consideration". Besides how does reading trendy magazines make you anti-trendy groups? I'm not quite sure I follow that one. Second of all, who gives a ratt's butt whether he's trained in classical piano. I love that, everyone who's classically trained must be good. Same thing happened with Tracy Bonham. "Oh she's classically trained, she's awesome!", yea right. She was one of the worst, and more boring and unoriginal musicians to come out lately. I am not analyizing this too much. I am listening to the music and hearing a report about the way they acted at their concert. I think you are assuming a bit too much and hearing what you want to hear. There's no reason to get so worked up, BTW. You my post and immediately flamed me because you thought you heard another bandwagon jumper. Why don't you _LISTEN_ and _DISCUSS_ rather than flaming. >I'm sure none of them would even get into those drugs. I never said Keith, >Leroy, or Maxim were the heart of the band. They are fun to watch, but I mostly >concentrate on the work of Liam. ROTFL! I'm not saying you couldn't be right....but I think it's ignorant to say "I'm sure none of them would even get into those drugs". Crack was a little overstatement but heroin or X isn't an outlandish assumption. As for concentrating on the work of Liam, that's the only thing I will agree with in you're post. > >> ------------------ >> dco2393@rit.edu http://www.rit.edu/~dco2393 > >== Chris Layne =============================== Flames to my private email == >== coredump@nervosa.sf.ca.us ====== http://www.nervosa.sf.ca.us/~coredump == > > ------------------ dco2393@rit.edu http://www.rit.edu/~dco2393 OPPOSE INTERNET CENSORSHIP.
