Whichever show I attend Just saw Faithless two Night ago at My university in Reading UK. They were amazing. Im not a keen follower in faithless - dont have any music by them but the ticket were cheap and a mate need someone to go with so I thought why not. Anyways the gig was sooooo good. The support band - Skinny weren't that good but whilst they were on stage faithless was grooving in the crowd. Right next to me. Yep - wicked. Me and my mate chatted to him - he seemed really cool. Anyways - I would definetly recommend them - I had the most wicked of a time. Will be seeing them again. Cheers Elliot _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Has anyone here in the US every heard of this movie/documentary called Modulations "Cinema for the Ear"? It's put out by Caipirinha Productions. They've put out other things of this nature such as: synthetic pleasure, prototype 909, silentmoviesilverscreen, and here come the drums. _________Press Release From the makers of Synthetic Pleasures, comes the film Modulations, a feature-length documentary which captures a moment in history where humans and machines are fusing to create today's most exciting sounds. Modulations traces the evolution of electronic music as one of the most profound artistic developments of the 20th century. By cutting back and forth between avant garde composers, Kraftwerk's innovative synthesizer drones, Giorgio Moroder's glacial Euro-disco, Afrika Bambaataa's electro-funk and Prodigy's current worldwide superstarstardom, Modulations celebrates, replicates and illuminates the nomadic drift of the post-human techno sound. The film examines the kids who have turned the turntable into a musical instrument, disillusioned disco lovers who created acid house out of primitive synthesizers, Motor City mavericks who saw the drum machine as their escape route out of urban neglect, and a generation of British youth who transformed these blips and bleeps into dancefloor anthems of their own alienation. ______________________End Press Release Any way....It's playing up in Chicago (only this week) and it's supposed to be really good. Needless to say I'm going to see it. I was just curious if anyone else had heard of it or seen it? I'll let you guys know how it was when I get back. In the mean time if you want to check it out on the web it's www.modulations.com . Thanks, Digger Digger@Jorsm.Com Out There Somewhere?

[ snip ] [ ....I was just curious if anyone else had heard of it or seen it? Yes, Modulations played here in Seattle on October 26 through 29. Yes, the brothers Hartnoll appeared with their headlamps. I can't remember if they actually interviewed them, because there were so many excellent artists that got a chance to speak. It was great to finally see many of the musicians I listen to, especially since most don't tour here in Seattle. It was also great to hear the thoughts behind the music in the musician's own words. Of course, many artists tried to avoid the popular aspect of interviewing. Maybe they're avoiding "fame." The sight of one member of Autechre picking his nose during the interview wasn't even enough to dispel my respect for them. Future Sound of London made a big deal about not appearing in person for the interview, only over ISDN videophone link - not that surprising. My only complaint is that far too much time was given to Genesis P-Orridge, not because I don't care for his music, but more because I see him as being on the sidelines of many different styles of music - certainly not the mainstream or defining artist behind techno. Balancing this, however, was the fact that more than a handful of Detroit artists were interviewed. I was very impressed, especially since I had so much to learn by listening to what the fathers of techno had to say about how it all started and how they feel about their music. Make time to see it if you have the opportunity.

(eh, since Green ;) ), I've got countless albums, singles, bootlegs, etc. in my collection and this was an album I really liked. Maybe it's not among the most straight-forward, fan-creating hits of the decade, or year even, but it sure raises questions and whether Stipe's voice changes/ranges through the 18 years they've been playing or not does not affect the status this album will receive, I think. Experimental tracks, varying from really abstract songs at the head of the album and moving up towards older, familiar R.E.M.ish tracks at the end, Daysleeper, Diminished, Parakeet and Falls to Climb could almost have starred on Automatic for the People if you ask me. ...except that Bill is missing and in some tracks sounding as if he was replaced by a Cakewalk's drum emulator. -Please remember to ask the driver for a receipt- Trym The Apollo Project - an unofficial Biosphere internet zine URL : http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~ceetba/apollo/ E-Mail : apollo_project@hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # 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: Jon Green Subject: Re: (orbital) faithless Date: 02 Nov 1998 18:15:44 +0000 At 18:30 01/11/98 -0600, Marc Sawaya wrote: > > Does >anyone know how the 'reverence' cd is? Not much like Insomnia, apart from Salva Mea and Insomnia (of course...), both of which were singles. It's quite varied, and not all dance music. Pretty good, though the vocals can get a bit irritating. Salva Mea and Insomnia are both huge epic house done very well, (I like them, even though I don't particularly like all this commercial epic house). Worth a listen, unless you're just expecting ten Insomnia clones. cheers, Jon - Jon Green zcapn33@ucl.ac.uk Intentional clicks on track 2. # 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: Doris Hernandez Subject: Re: (orbital) Album reviews -Reply -Reply Date: 02 Nov 1998 15:43:01 -0500 >R.E.M - Up > >oh no. i am going to get alot of backlash for this, but REM discombobulates >me. they're like drinking three bottle of nyquil. will his voice ever range? >Compared to who, Mariah Carey? no, definitely not mariah carey. she may suck but she does have range...more like, why is his voice so flat and boring and why do all their songs sound the same? # 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: Dan Colquhoun Subject: Re: (orbital) Signing off...

Hmmm...flat and boring? I think not. Stipe doesn't have the greatest range but he gets up there a bit and is just generally a good singer. As for all their songs sounding the same, why don't you try listening to more than 1 or 2 of the singles before you make statements that make you sound like an idiot. #1 Up has a very large variety of songs on it, lots of experimental stuff, TOTALLY unlike _ANYTHING_ REM has put out before (you wouldn't know because you've obviously only heard Daysleeper...the only song like that on the album). #2 Their style (as you would know if you had any idea what you were talking about) has changed a lot since they started (in '81...no, Sorry, "Stand" wasn't the beginning of REM's career). Their Style was somewhat the same through the 80's (although there were trips into Countryish stuff and even one humorous stab at heavy metal) then turned around completely with Green. Green was somewhat dark and WAY more introspective in its sound and lyrics. Out of time and Automatic for the people were a 180 from green and a change from their 80's style. Both albums were somewhat happy with beats that were often not even rock type beats (low, and the live version of Drive for example). Then came another TOTAL 180 with Monster and HiFi where they became very very rocky with flashier lyrics and style and more hard-core sound. I've always said that the guitars sound almost bell-like on these albums...I've never quite heard anything like it. Then, after the departure of Bill Berry, Up came along with its somewhat bizzarre departures from normal rock formats. REM's career has been marked by complete changes in their sound, lyrics, style, and attitude (which the "single listener" crowd usually misses). Even if you don't like their music there is NO WAY you can say all their songs sound the same (unless you are clueless enough to judge their musical portfolio by a couple of singles...as you apparently are). Before you judge one of the most influential bands in the last 20 years or so, I would recomend that you listen to a little more than a couple singles that pop up on the radio every now and then. REM is well respected by MANY of the more high quality artists around today (Counting Crows and Live...for example). REM isn't just one of the shit-single bands that are so plentiful today, they're a group of TRUE ARTISTS who put a lot of creativity and effort into what they put out and are highly respected for doing so. dco2393@rit.edu http://www.rit.edu/~dco2393 "He, O men, is the wisest, who, like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing." -Plato # 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: "Trym Asserson" Subject: Re: (orbital) Album reviews -Reply -Reply Date: 03 Nov 1998 08:58:18 PST >Hmmm...flat and boring?

As >for all their songs sounding the same, why don't you try listening to more >than 1 or 2 of the singles before you make statements that make you sound >like an idiot. Hate to bring this up again as it's such a worn-out topic where someone gets a bit too excited about fending off any negative criticism against a band they're obviously huge fan and mistakingly uses a few, non-serious terms in their answer. In any event, I agree with Doctor that 'Up' is a strange kind of "masterpiece" from R.E.M. given that they've never released anything sounding quite like that before and that they're now just three to cope with the pressure of delivering good albums to a demanding horde of fans. Given the fact that this new album has a really varied, maybe the most varied tracks I've ever witnessed on an R.E.M. album, it's strange to find some people that find it so similar, although I again agree that Stipe's voice tends to stay in one track, but that doesn't make it boring if the whole finish is varied, experimental and trying new diretions anll the time. But it still doesn't justify calling people of other views idiots even if they've not listened to the whole of the new album, it's a discussion of liking/not liking. Offer your view, but don't make the mistake of offending others' views... >#1 Up has a very large variety of songs on it, lots of experimental stuff, >TOTALLY unlike _ANYTHING_ REM has put out before (you wouldn't know because >you've obviously only heard Daysleeper...the only song like that on the >album). ...so that even "harmless" sarcasm like this appear in posts because that'll make quite so childish discussion topics in the end anyway. >#2 Their style (as you would know if you had any idea what you were talking >about) has changed a lot since they started (in '81...no, Sorry, "Stand" >wasn't the beginning of REM's career). ...eh, any relevance in this or just slagging off?

That just isn't something that can be reasonably said or musically justified if you've heard any significant body of their work. Were they a new band, maybe the singles would be enough...but they're not. Judging REM on Daysleeper, Bang and Blame, *69, Everybody hurts, and whatever other recent singles they've had is not sufficient to justify the opinion she put forth. I don't care whether she likes them or not, but saying all their songs sound the same (especially when she hasn't heard much of their work) isn't reasonable. SAying that is saying that "We Walk", "End of the world as we know it", "Burning Hell", and "Star 69" all sound the same...that doesn't make logical sense. >Say what you want, but I'm tired of flame posts (even if they're not >intended to be so but contains sarcasm of such a degree that other No, don't worry, it was definitely intended as a flame. dco2393@rit.edu http://www.rit.edu/~dco2393 "He, O men, is the wisest, who, like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing." -Plato # 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: "Jim L.

Date: 05 Nov 1998 13:32:15 -0800 (PST) Hi all, I didn't get a chance to listen to the remix competition on Sunday (no net access @ home on weekends) and I read that the new Orbital release was played. Does anyone have any comments on it? I've heard the stylophone samples and I'm quite interested in what Orbital could do with it! I think the stylophone is used in a remix of Moby's "Go" if I'm not mistaken (Rainforest mix? don't have the cd handy).

I'm not trying to "win" anything. I was making a joke...if you read what I said..."(I'm sorry, I don't mean to be QUITE that much of an asshole, but that one was too easy)." I.E. I was not seriously saying that my opinion of you is that you are an idiot. I really don't care if I change your opinion or anyone else's...I think your opinion that REM's songs all sound the same is unusually outlandish, so I am commenting on that fact. >i am honest: they do sound the same to me. >so according to you i am an idiot...so be it. Well, I must say that it sounds as though you have listened to more than the recent singles, so you do have some basis for what you are talking about, so I retract my idiot statement. If you had made that statement without any knowledge of REM's long career, I would say you were an idiot or at least ignorant, but since you can actually compare the old stuff to the new stuff I would have to say that your opinion is valid. Although I still see no basis for it...but whatever. >but anyone who also mentions >the "counting crows" and "live" as influential bands has got to be kidding. I never said that at all. I said "quality" bands not "influential". While I might argue that Live is influential (mostly because of the lyrics) I would not argue the same for Counting crows. I would say that both are quality bands however. dco2393@rit.edu http://www.rit.edu/~dco2393 Never trust a man in a blue trenchcoat Never drive a car when you're dead -Tom Waits # 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: The DOCtor Subject: (orbital) Orbital discs - gemm.com Date: 05 Nov 1998 17:21:24 -0500 2 Questions (at last I have something non-stipe related to talk about) On gemm.com under the orbital stuff they have one disc called "2+PEEL SESSIONS"...i.e. Orbital 2 plus another disc of the "peel sessions". I already have Orbital 2, but is it worth getting for the bonus disc? How good is the second disc (if anyone has it)? The other one I wanted to ask about is the Orbital "Untitled" one...it says it's a Japanese import. Does anyone know what this is? Also, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who recomended DJ Krush when I asked for recs for people that were similar to DJ Shadow. I got his album "Krush"...it's really good...very acid-jazzy.

Well I've got the Peel Session CD and it's great, but half of it's on Diversions, which is probably better value. But then that sample about nuclear something or other on Attached makes it better than the album version. Of course if you're a "real fan", you'll buy it anyway ;-) >Also, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who recomended DJ Krush when >I asked for recs for people that were similar to DJ Shadow.

In case anyone wanted >anything else like Shadow, I'd recomend this album But let's face it, 'Lost and Found' is better than anything I've ever heard by Krush (though he's pretty damn good). In fact, 'Lost and Found' is the greatest hip-hop related track I've ever heard, and anyone who disagrees is either "an idiot" or has heard something I haven't.

Don't remember it on that mix, but my Dad used to have one, so I know what the thing sounds like. As far as 'Go' goes, the original Woodtick mix is the one (a true rave classic for those of you old enough to remember), and the Jam and Spoon mix a close second. At 13:09 03/11/98 +0000, Matthew J.

Date: 06 Nov 1998 19:53:04 -0500 Hey you guys (and gals), I was taking a shower a couple nights ago when a very interesting idea hit me. It's funny how the best ideas always come in the shower... er, but anyway, what I figured was to pull a little blitz on the All-Music Guide. For those of you who don't know, the All-Music Guide is probably the single best-selling compendium of artists and albums in the US. It's also my dad's Music Bible for looking up information about his gloopy oldies tunes. We've got a couple of these big-ass books here at home, and even though they're back from like 93, they still tip the hat to Orbital, the Orb, Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, Global Communication, Black Dog, and the like. So on their website (http://www.allmusic.com) they've got even more info about techno, but not enough about bootlegs. I figure that if they have a listing for bootlegs it might as well be filled, but I turned in a couple bootleg entries to the AMG staff with no response. The point I'm gradually coming to is, what do you people think about trying to get one of Loopz' bootlegs immortalized in this gargantuan book? This would definitely be the way to put the man in the books of history, if you get my drift. I was thinking specifically of anyone on this list who wants Loopz to get his piece in the amg should go there and fill out an "Add Information" form for the Past/Live disc or some other of Loopz' venerable bootlegs. If enough people go to nag them about one or two bootlegs we'll get 'em to stick an entry under Orbital. Who knows with some luck it may even make the print edition!! So whoever wants in on this little prank, write the list and we'll see how many people jump on board here. If we get enough this plan may work, like that Gap riot we were planning (did it work anyway?) Thanx if u want to join!

They were amazing! Although "God is a D.J." is very similar to "Insomnia" both tunes are very good...but not completely representative of their sound. They consist of a group of almost solo artists (a folk guitarist, two keyboardists, two drummers, etc.), but they mold their sounds togther. Sometimes dance, sometimes ambient, sometimes country music, or just rock...there's nothing quite like them. For that I respect them and recommend their albums (which I'm picking up very soon.) P.S. A newer group called Esthero opened the show...a lovely eclectic mix of a dj, trumpet player, two drummers, (an amazing) keyboardist, and one vocalist that sounds like bjork and a rapper that appears for a couple of songs. It's really relieving to see bands like Esthero and Faithless who create their own sounds and styles by using actual talent! (especially in the U.S. where I still can't believe that people actually listen to things like Bush and Matchbox 20). take it easy.

I just returned from an excellent performance by Faithless. They played a good mix of songs from Reverence and the new album. The addition of many live musicians creates a different and more complex sound than the albums... impressive. I don't think they have any U.S. dates left... they're on to Europe now. Definitely see them if y'all get a chance. Unfortunately, Esthero wasn't able to play the show in Boston. And strangely enough, Faithless wasn't the headliner. Asian Dub Foundation was headlining. I suppose that was a good thing though.... While getting down to Asian Dub Foundation, I just happened to look back over my right shoulder... and I noticed that Maxi Jazz was standing right next to me...!! Battle stations. A little switch inside my brain marked "silly fan mode" suddenly flipped into the "ON" position. I spent the rest of ADF's performance completely ignoring the music and planning exactly what I was going to say to Mr. Jazz. Fortunately I had enough time to plan... and when the music was over, I managed to chat with Maxi for a while without sounding like too much of a silly fan. And yes, I walked away with an autograph that says For Aaron: Peace Brother! -Maxi Jazz Ok. Perhaps a bit of sillyfan-ness was in effect. and dammit.. I forgot to bring a copy of my CD! Arrrrrrg.

I am a HUGE fan of pretty much everything on Jungle Sky and some stuff from this is home entertainment (Jungle Sky, home entertainment, and tekhed are all divisions of Liquid Sky Music). I have every release from Jungle Sky (This is Jungle Sky Vol. 1,2,3,4,5 / 1.8.7 - When worlds collide, Quality Rolls / Yellow Note We are not the beatles / and DJ Soulslinger - Don't believe, Abducted remixes). They're all REALLY good. The best are probably Jungle Sky vol. 1 (best by far), Jungle Sky 5, and both of 1.8.7's albums. To be honest I don't even like Yellow note that much other than the fact that it's got some interesting samples. The other JS albums are better. As for This is home Entertainment (the label) I like "This is Home Entertainment" Vol. 1 and 2...but that's all I've heard. I want to check out DJ Wally, who's supposed to be good. As for Tekhed, I just found out this label existed when I looked on their website recently. I will definitely check the only album on it out if I see it though. >who else is good on jungle sky? what do you all think of the main man, dj >soulslinger? i saw swingsett and wally play live last spring, and it wasn't >really my cup of tea. too fast i guess. undanceable.

I think Shadow is probably one of the best DJ's around now. His stuff definitely has hip-hop influence...which can turn people off. But it's really emotional, quality stuff. He has incredible flow and just generally picks good samples and phat beats. I was never really into hip-hop either but Shadow turned me around. I think his stuff takes a lot of talent. He has a whole thing about reinventing hip-hop because hip-hop is corrupt and fake yadda yadda yadda. After listening to him I've gotten into some rap (Del the Funky Homosapien for example) and I have an appreciation for (good) hip hop now. >also for the record, i like rem. but i heard that when they were first >starting out, before they made their first record, they were just awful.

And if so, what kind of style are they? I like what I hear so Sash! (and probably Sash too) is dreadful euro pop, and well worth avoiding. Sasha is widely regarded as a brilliant DJ/producer/remixer, and he was usually referred to as DJ Sasha back in the rave days, so the two are probably one and the same. For the recoprd, I've nmever thought of Sasha as much of a DJ. Sure, he can mix more cleanly than just about anyone, but the records he plays are not that inspiring. I've always preferred Digweed. Sasha's remixes, however, are rarely short of excellent, but it seems he needs a starting point, 'cos his own songs have never matched up to his remixes. cheers, Jon # 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: Reece Howe Subject: (orbital) REM Date: 08 Nov 1998 18:11:08 -0800 i thought we had this whole +ACI-i hate REM+ACI- argument a few months ago. does it recur? are we gonna hear this every time we get a coupla new members? it seems some people like pissing everyone off and for no reason think everyone else wants to hear what bands they hate. shut up.

Unlike some, I am not going to tell you to keep it off the list...keep discussing it all you want. I just want to make it clear that _I_ dropped the Stipe - good/bad thing a few days ago...so don't bitch to me about stopping.

I don't proclaim to be perfect, to post rationally, reasonably, or even logically all or even any of the time. I post what I think and or feel, and I expect oth ers to do the same.

Flame me publicly or don't flame me at all. I have already retracted the "idiot" statement, but I stand by my reaction and discussion of the subject and that is not going to change no matter how many times you flame me. I apologise for cluttering the list bringing this up again, because for me the discussion is over...but I am quite tired of personal emails from the "holier than thou" crowd. This is the LAST time I will make any kind of response to public or private flames regarding the Stipe discussion, and I apologise once again for cluttering the list with this.

Out of lurker mode long enough to hassle you with a couple of non-Orbital related questions: 1) I picked up a used copy of Autechre's Incanubula (sp?) a couple of weeks ago (only CA$7.49 - a steal!), and I have to say that I absolutely love it! The more I listen to it, the better it sounds! The question> How does this compare to other Autechre stuff? If I like this one, what should I look for next? 2) Photek - Have heard a lot about him, but have not actually heard him. My choices seem to be: RISC vs Reward (2 EPs on one disc), Modus Operandi album, Modus Operandi single, or the new Form and Function. Where to start?

Every song on it is good...there's lots of heavy "Industrial" sounding songs and there's also some really nice slow ambient tracks. It's my favorite Autechre album with Incunabula coming in second. Amber is also very good. I'm not a big fan of their newest though (the black one, whatever it's called). It's got some good songs on it but it just doesn't come together well for me. # 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: brian lorraine Subject: Re: (orbital) P&P will come to USA - hold the line caller ;) (fwd) Date: 12 Nov 1998 13:21:24 -0500 (EST) sort of speaking of which.. any of you american orbital crackheads in the dc/baltimore area?... maybe i'll C u at their show next year >:P > > > > >i hate all brits for actually being able to see p&p in the next six months. > > >you bastards. send them stateward! > > > > ack :) > > > > They are coming to US next year...no dates or venues confirmed yet....so > > please please dont email me asking :) # 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: Jon Green Subject: Re: (orbital) re: [non-Orbital] Autechre Date: 12 Nov 1998 18:14:05 +0000 At 12:52 12/11/98 -0500, The DOCtor wrote: > >Incunabula is a good album...you should definitely try to get Tri Repetae++ >though.

I haven't got Amber, but Incunabula is my least favourite of the four I have got. I just prefer the edgy harsh sounds on the others, especially Chiastic Slide, which now seems to have overtaken LP5 as my favourite. If you like Incunabula, I'd recommend the FUSE (Richie Hawtin, aka Plastikman) album 'Dimension Intrusion', there are some really nice mellow tracks, like most of Incunabula, and some harder ones that sound more like Plastikman. It was also on Warp, at about the same time as Incunabula came out. The Amorphous Androgynous (aka FSOL) album 'Tales of Ephidrina' is good in a similar way too. And non-Orbital and non-Autechre related, the new Bush Records compilation 'Bush' is ace. cheers, Jon # 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: STARpango Subject: Re: (orbital) P&P will come to USA - hold the line caller ;) Date: 12 Nov 1998 15:09:26 -0500 At 01:21 PM 11/12/98 -0500, you wrote: > > >sort of speaking of which.. any of you american orbital crackheads in the >dc/baltimore area?... maybe i'll C u at their show next year >:P well i live in columbus, ohio but i'll be going out to dc for he concert for sure!!! mikey g # 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: "Skip Acuff" Subject: (orbital) [non-Orbital] Autechre and Photek -Reply Date: 12 Nov 1998 13:17:01 -0700 Michael Mccomb asked: >>>I picked up a used copy of Autechre's Incanubula (sp?) a couple of weeks ago (only CA$7.49 - a steal!), and I have to say that I absolutely love it! The more I listen to it, the better it sounds! The question> How does this compare to other Autechre stuff? If I like this one, what should I look for next?<<< You'll probably get a variety of responses on this, but welcome to the Ae experience in any event. About 18 months ago I started with their third album, Tri Repetae++ (1995) and then zig zagged back and forth in time to Incunabula (1993), then Chiastic Slide (1997), then Amber (1994), then Envane (EP-- 1997), then Cichli Suite (EP very loosely based on the Cichli track from Chiastic -- 1997) , then the Anti EP (1994), and now the 1998 self titled CD aka LP5. Where should you go next? The easiest items to buy in the states are Amber (on TVT), Tri Repetae (TVT) and LP5 (Nothing Records). Get all three. I received some very good advice from a member of this list, Mike Shepherd. I don't think he'll mind me copying that for you and others below: >>>As a personal recommendation, I would highly suggest for a first purchase that you get Tri Repeatae++ with the free bonus disc eps of Anvil Vapre and Garbage. Outstanding stuff. Amber and the Envane ep are my next two favorites although some people like these better than Tri Repeatae++. The reason for so much disagreement among Autechre fans is that their cd's are so stylistically different from one another so here's a fairly good guide: Start with Tri Repeatae++. If you want something less harsh and abrasive, buy everything that came out before it (Amber, Incunabula, etc.). If you want something harsher and more experimental, buy everything that came out after it (Envane, Chiastic Slide, Cichlisuite, etc.) I just bought Incunabula and it's fantastic too. To me, they are the most consistent artist out there. My first reaction is always, "I don't like this as much as their last cd," but then it always grows on me and I end up saying, "Boy was I stupid for not liking this!" Hope this helps some.

What release(s) would make a good starting point? Thanks. well, depends on what you're into...incunabula, their 1st is warm analog early-90s idm stuff. chiastic slide, their most recent, is cold digital experimental stuff, still percussive but sounding more like recent coil stuff...the other stuff is in the middle...as others will say, the best starting place is the domestic tri repetae which has two eps on as well. if you think it's too cold/dark/weird, you might want to work backwards to amber, or if you think it's not experiemental enough try c.slide... np: autechre "teartear" <<< # 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: Chris Kloehr Subject: RE: (orbital) P&P will come to USA - hold the line caller ;) (fwd) Date: 12 Nov 1998 14:20:39 -0600 Does anyone think they will get anywhere near the mid-us (instead of on just the east and west coasts)?

Here are mine: Top 10 bands who would mostly like cause me to turn off radio / TV: 1. Everclear 2. Backstreet Boys 3. Hanson 4. Jewel 5. Shania Twain (I think my cable company screwed up - I used to get VH-1 on channel 81 but now its the Shania Twain channel. ) 6. Garth Brooks 7. Puff Daddy / Mase 8.

Bands who's songs all sound the same... (just kidding) That's the most common thing to hear from someone who doesn't like a particular band/genre, you just have to take it lightly because it's understandable. The deep down line drawn in the sand: 1. Country music with "yee-haws" and twangy hick voices 2. Kenny G and other dentist office music 3. Spice Girls (a whole new monster in itself) 4. R'n'B soul/urban/whatever that cheezy 12 year old pop sound (die backstreet boys die) 5. Most rap- boring beats/no-brainer melodies (if any) and yo-yo I's Dawgy Dog Gangster man who is too cool to rhyme 6. Mariachi music/soundtrack to a feista early in the morning (it doesn't get much worse than that if you want to sleep) 7. christmas music in stores during october and november 8. adult contemporary / easy listening (easy my ass! it nearly puts me into deep psychosis) 9. Heavy metal or glam rock with high screechy vocals- (the ultimate being like King Diamond and don't even play Skid Row, Bon Jovi or Guns'n'Posers around me- except for Halcyon live) 10. everything else I dont like let's make sure Opera singing is in there as well as pop songs from the 50s... So I would bet most of you don't have a problem with that... but I get much worse....I can't stand "alternative" or most other popular music that dominates the biz today Here's a further look into what I hate: 1. Green Day / new punk flavor of the week band 2. Matchbox 20 / Counting Crows (pretty much the same genre) 3. Everclear / Foo Fighters / Offspring 4. Pearl Jam / Nirvana / grunge band of the week 5. Alanis and Jewel 6. Red Hot Chili Peppers / any other funk rock trendy frat stuff 7. you name it,if they play it every dayover and over on the commercial radio stations and mtv you can bet I'm sick of it by now 8. Euro dance / candy pop (like Aqua and any other overplayed club hits) 9. I hate it that 90% of the rock bands out there are copying someone else and adding to the mass of uncreative music 10. forget it you wouldn't understand- I don't get into the Smashing Pumpkins as well as many other BIG groups- but every one in 50 or so is just great. I love Beck, Rage against the Machine, Tool, and lots of other non-electonic bands. so my top 10 list...well I couldn't possibly do that unless it just meant for that hour of this day or something so here goes a list of things I do like in no particular order: 0. Most retro rock stuff from manchester: I like the Charlatans, Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, Primal Scream, Happy Mondays, Mainstream, Spiritualized, Talk Talk- all that kind of stuff) ok- I do not like Oasis for some reason though 0. Bauhaus / Tones On Tail / Love & Rockets / Peter Murphy / Dalis Car 0. Joy Division / New Order / Revenge / Electonic / Monaco 0. Smiths 0. Orbital (surprise!) 0. Underworld 0. Orb / Youth / Alex Patterson / most related projects 0. almost any goa or psy trance including Youth's label Dragonfly, TIP, Blue Room, Flying Rhino, Matsuri, Distance, etc. 0. most ambeint music ( it's wide open here) 0. lots of Drum n bass / Jungle 0. lots of gothic stuff (Cranes, Field of the Nephilim, Sister of Mercy) 0. Killing Joke and all remixes 0. a great deal of 80s new wave hits and club stuff 0. Depeche Mode / Kraftwerk / OMD the classic electonic stuff 0. lots of Industrial stuff- you name it 0. some synth pop stuff like Pet Shop Boys, Alpahville, Real Life 0. Autechre / Aphex Twin / all RDJ and Warp stuff 0. tons of misc electonic stuff, I think genres aren't good enough to desribe some of them (Banco De Gaia, BT, Moby, Leftfield, and the list goes on and on) I'm going to wrap it up here glad to rant and rave a bit on the orbital list! paul # 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: Jon Green Subject: Re: (orbital) top 10.

Well, I'm sure I won't be the only person to come back a this one, but I'll do it anyway. I spent 20 hours on a bus this weekend. If it wasn't for my music, most importantly U.F.Orb and SAW II, I probably wouldn't be here now. If I didn't have music like this to chill me out, help me relax and sleep, I'm sure someone on the bus would have died. I thought it was pretty stupid music when I first heard it, then I found a need and appreciation for it. -- If a synchronized swimmer starts to drown, does the partner have to drown too?

Orbital / In sides ... do I have to explain this to you all :) ? 2. Orbital / Brown ... do I have to explain this as well :) 3. Grooverider/Mysteries of Funk just like the dynamics, it goes from heavy to dreamy - deeeep and rich drum and bass from da godfather. 4. BT/ESCM enjoy this one a lot. very poppy!? 5. Chemical Brothers/gonna work it out flame all U want, but I love this disc. It's just so funky and varied and perfect for enjoying. 6. Celine Dion/My Heart will go on + on just checking to see if anyone is actually reading these. 7. Autechre/Autechre the new one is Amazing. I prounce them "Aw-Tish-er" and no one can change me now that I'm in the habit, so no flames please! 8. Kraftwerk/Computer World cranking the title track and 'pocket calculator' always cheers me up. I heard they are working on a new album, any news? :) 9. Fatboy Slim/You've come a long way I know I'm not supposed to like this, but I do. Big Beet cheers me up after a bad day. I just have to hear "right about now...." and everything feels 'k again. 10. Air/Moon Safari I know I'm not supposed to like this, but I do. It's just so much fun to listen to... especially "Kelly,watch the Stars!" extra: 11. V CLASSICS/ Vol. 1 & 2 These CD's really rock the floor and stomp my head. The best compilations I've heard yet - more please! THE WORST: (no explanations should by nessary) 1. N-Sync. BackStreet Boys. 2. Dead Naked Ladies. 3. Matchbox20 and third Eye Blind (should be third ear deaf!) and Counting Crows. 4. Mariah Scarey THE ALL TIME WORST MUSIC EVER, THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT MAKES YOU HATE ALL MUSIC, THAT MAKES YOU HATE LIVING: Guns and Roses I'm still in therapy after my brother dragged me to one of their 5 hours long concerts (no exaggeration) - you don't know what hell is until you've heard Asshole Rose sit there and complain how the mafia is 'out to get me' and how he is going to 'kick warren beatty's ass' in between 23 minute long 'stairway to heaven' wanna-bes. please, stay in the studio with Moby forever - or better yet go live in Waco with all your buddies in the Ayran Nation, lousy scumbag racist nobody has-been rockstar dinosaur. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. (deeep breath......) In other more interesting and happy news,Did anyone see the new Urb magazine? they have a short thing about Orbital in the Innovators list, though at the end they said that the new album will be out in March... this is a US magazine, so maybe that will be when Middle of Nowhere comes out here in the land of clueless fishboys who think they're cool, but everyone else laughs at them behind their back. **DEEP SIGH** It's a pretty good issue as usual since they actually dig a little deeper into the music and so you get to read good stuff written by people who won't have to kiss no doubt's no talent ass tommorow and unlike rollingrayspin magazine, they don't usually use the words 'electronica' and 'nextbigthing' everytime they review an album by someone with DJ affixed to their name. Also they list in an ad that they'll have a feature on orbital in 1999. You think my top ten is lame? some idiot in a stupid game magazine called "Gamer's Republic" (US RAG) picked DJ Keoki and **David Lee Roth** for his top albums of '98! I couldn't stop laughing for an hour! Gamers Repugnant is a pathetic magazine that thinks putting 'rave flyer' type graphics on their stupid game articles makes them 'kewl,' deeper investigation shows that they aren't really ravers or maybe they think they are 'ravers' cause they like them 'underground' sounds of them there madonna and crystal method they are phat and real electronica, baby. :) I'm sure you've had enough for now.

I can't think of anything loathsome enough to say. 6) Any of that sugary hound-and-horny Q-102 dancefloor crap...

What struck me most about Consumed (and also why I like it so much), is that the music has such a dark vibe to it. The stuff on Dimension Intrusion is probably as minimal at times but there are are a lot more variations in the mood. There are a couple dark tracks, "Substance Abuse" comes to mind, and then there are some straight-up dance floor type things (slac). Some really nice ambient-style stuff there too (title track and "theychx" come to mind). Personally I think this is a great album, but Consumed rates higher in my book.

Also, on a completely unrelated note, I saw that orbital and yanni were were both on one person's top ten list, and that raised in interesting question in my mind. Many people who I've played orbital for have disliked them becasuse, up against today's ragetronica beat assaults of prodigy and the like, they come off as sounding more mellow.

Any help would be appreciated. btw- I saw Goldie perform Temper Temper live today. I think he has watched too many Prodigy concerts. He was running around stage screaming Temper Temper into the mic while a guitarist ripped out rifs and a guy in the back ripped out the beat on synths and programmers. I love Goldie and to see this was quite a disappointment. Does Temper Temper and the song with KRS 1 resemble the overall sound of his newer album, or are they unique?

Well, just to make life difficult for everyone :), I must say that I was not all that impressed with this CD; especially since the cheapest I could get it was $29. I do not think its worth that much.. its a 2 CD album and to me the entire first CD was worthless. I generally like harder d'n'b styles and this wasn't it - mostly loungy stuff, with lots of vocals, which frankly just bores me. But if you're into that stuff, go for it... The second CD had about 4 tracks that I really liked, (The first track and the untitled one are excellent), but thats about it.

Well, aside from metropolis, which is a cool as hell track, but I have that on Platinum breakz II. I'm not sure if I'd say that "circles" is representative of the album... I can't honestly remember what the album sounded like other than not liking it all that much :) I'd also (HIGHLY) recommend Boyermang's album, "Balance of the Force" Loads of great tracks on there, lots of differing styles. Also just picked up "Slow motion" by J Majik, also a great album, but it will probably be very hard to find.. Pretty much anything by GLR/LGR (Bukem's labels) is awesome - Logical Progression, Earth, Progression Sessions... I have L.Prog 1-3 and Earth 1. I'd recommend them all And if you like the kinda ambient style, then Spring Heel Jack is great. I'm impressed by the amount of variation in the breakbeats they use ... admittedly too much jungle/d'n'b is either 2-step or amen, but these guys use a lot of different stuff. And for serious hard/dark stuff, check out Torque (No U Turn) or Quantum Mechanics (Renegade Hardware) Hope this helps..

I forgot about that because the one track I've got ('a million miles to earth' on blueprints vol 3) is about three hours long and boring. Just as I'd always suspected Namlook to be. But then again, I'm not into ambient, so I wouldn't like it would I? Weird though, I normally like stuff that goes on forever, even if it's beatless. It'd be alright if it was only ten minutes long. >There is a cd by MIxmag that kinda gives you an idea of his >show, A good disc, but not the most exciting I've heard.

Although, I'd have to say "Sheet One" and "Musik" are both up there.

For me actually the line is kind of blurred, because of the way I found electronic music, which was via that semi-electronic stuff like new age. I actually grew up listening to Enigma and George Winston and other lite stuff, plus some classical. Then I kinda took another step when I got into Yanni and Deep Forest, plus some other new-agey contemporary bands that used a lot of electronic equipment. Then a year ago Orbital came along and my tastes kind of exploded :) Anyways I'd have to say that the whole thing about electronic is that some of it promotes the same mood as some new age music, so yeah, maybe some electronic music can be called new age and vice versa. The song by Orbital that caught me hook line and sinker was of course Halcyon+On+On, because aside from the instrumentation, the mood it created was basically the same as Yanni, Cusco etc. So yeah, there's some similarity there. I still like all the old new age (although Yanni is in the advanced stages of selling out) and some techno that has piano lines a la Yanni still gets my nostalgia going. So there you have it.

I think I'm a freak. I like very rarely get any visuals with my music. I've also noticed I don't dream as much anymore... hmmm. Anyay, this is like the one case that I do, and it's because of a museum. The Maratime Muesum of the Atlantic in Halifax is a place I remember fondy. Used to go there a lot as a young'un. I love the smell of that place, tar and rope. mmmm... Anyway, they had this room that was the mockup of a ship. You'd look thru the window and see a picture of the ocean moving as if you were on the water. And they had the noises to go along with it, waves, gulls, fog horns, and of course the creaking of the ship. I more smell the plcae than I see it when I hear the music though. I have a much stronger smell memory. Wierd how you smell something sometimes and just stop, not having smelled whatever the hell it was in years, and just sit there wondering "What in the hell is that"? -- If a synchronized swimmer starts to drown, does the partner have to drown too?

There are three "From Within" (Namlook & Hawtin) on the FAX label - the first two are out of print (though #1 has been re-issued on the Ambient World label), while the third is still about. #1 and #2 are chilled beats and ambience, though #2 leans towards big swirls of Schulzian sequencers. #3 was shite to my ears, bordering an jazz-lite noodling, and I didn't detect much Hawtin influence at all. > I forgot about that because the one track I've got ('a million miles to > earth' on blueprints vol 3) is about three hours long and boring. Just as > I'd always suspected Namlook to be. A slight exaggeration :-) "From Within" #1 has a 29min track (the aforementioned 'a million miles to earth') that could be cut down, but the essence of the work is its repetitive minimalism. "From Within" #2 has a 39min track that (in my view) could go on for hours and still be wonderful (actually it is only a 26 min track with bits of silence and other sounds at the end). It's a shame that "From Within" #2 is out of print - it is one of may top 5 FAX cd's. > Weird though, I normally like stuff that goes on forever, even if it's > beatless. I just picked up the 2 new Steve Roach works last week - "Slow Heat" which is one 71min track, and the collaboration with Vidna Obmana called "Ascension Of Shadows", which is 3 CDs, each of which is a single 72min track (though #2 is split into 3 parts).

FMWT tends toward more just plain cool jazzy and freaky drum and bass :) The other has more sort of "experimental" type things which I just find odd. If you are into weird sounding stuff, then HND is probably a better choice. > Undoneson by Plaid -vs- Times Fly by Orbital > hmm.. I haven't actually heard all of Undoneson, but I'd say get Times Fly, because is you already have Plaids "not for threes", on Warp, then I think you already have one of the tracks off Undoneson, so you are only getting 2 new tracks. Or, if you have the US release on nothing, you already have all of the tracks. Or, if you don't have either then go buy the US release and get it all! :) And, that being said, Times Fly is really, really damn good. Depending on my mood this is sometimes my favorite Orbital stuff ever; and there are 4 complete tracks (2 mixes of Times Fly, the tranquilizer, and a remix of Sad But True).

From his first works in 1976 to his latest in 1997, it's all good. The best of his old work is Oxygène(1976) and Équinoxe(1978), and in the recent, Chronologie(1993) and Oxygène 7-13 (1997) are brilliant too. I repeat, this is *exceptional* music, that stands higher than anything else in my taste. It's absolutely great. Sometimes it's very ambient and new age, sometimes it has very strong beats, it just rules anyhow :) Get some.

The Flaming June extended mix is worth the price alone, it's over 11 minutes long. PVD mixed all the tracks together except the last disc, it's all pretty impressive. I'm not quite sure why he released this collection--earlier this year he released that Perspective collection which primarily contained the same mixes but they were unmixed. I prefer remix albums unmixed, but PVD aways does a good job so you won't be disappointed. Definitely listen to the 15 minute Curve remix, the vocals were chopped ouit of the mix that made it out commercially. This mix is much better and the dina carroll mix is great, only available on a white label. Tht white label is worth hunting down too... Anyway, hope that helps!

Hmm, other than a couple of the new remixes and the Little fluffy clouds that was recorded at the show I went to, I wasn't all that terribly impressed by it. It sorta felt wrong. I remember alex paterson complaining about having to release edited versions of the song back in the day, and I agree. I applaud them re-releasing some of the older, rarer stuff, but I can do without a 3 minute version of 'a huge ever growing pulsating brain'. I'm also pissed because they chopped 2-3 minutes off the beginning of that 'little fluffy clouds'. It started out as a mishmash of lfc, brain, and into the fourth dimension, layered on top of each other, along with the x-rated version of 'my favorite things', then little fluffy clouds just sort of drifted out of the mess. It was one of the coolest concert moments (even above halcyon live the first time) I've ever experienced, and the just sorta lopped it off. Oh well, bottom line is, It's an Orb album, so I'm sitting here listening to it anyway.. :) -Morey # 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: cdrich@juno.com (Rich J Bide) Subject: (orbital) Top Ten Results Date: 29 Nov 1998 19:36:10 -0500 Hello, all.

Secondly...after spending LOTS (too much in fact) time with the family over this joyous holiday occasion I was filled with all kinds of concert info. Over 80% of this information is pure bullshit because...well...everyone in my family is a bunch of habitual liars and would do anything to raise my hopes and then dash them. First I heard that Paul & Phil were gonna make their way over here to the US and do a big GIG in Chicago. Well I knew off that bat that it was false...cause hey...if it were true I'd already know and have tickets. Then I heard all kinds of other BS. The one thing I heard that wqas halfway true I need more information on. My cousin told me that Fat Boy Slim was gonna make an appearance at a club somewhere in Chicago on Dec. 13th. My favor to ask from you guys...if you know ANY more about this show please let me know. As of now I have no clue. I don't know what club, exact date, anything. All I know is that it's an all ages show. I know FBS has undergone lots of "mud slinging" on this list (I know I deleted close to 75 messages containing the words "Off Topic - Fat Boy Slim") but I do like a few of his songs and owuld like to see him live...just to see how talented he really is...and that it's not all studio work. Ok it's late..I need to go to bed. Love you all! Thanks, Digger Digger@Jorsm.Com Out There Somewhere?

By now you have all recieved a copy of my mail requesting information on the FBS live gig. Well thank you Shaun Rader!! He sent me the Ticket Master info. I've called the House of Blues and it's very possible that I'll get press credentials for the show. That translates into...I get to meet/interview FBS. This brings me to my conclusion: Does anyone have any questions for Mr. Slim that they'd like answered? If so send e-mail to Dave@WMHS.net (thats my school e-mail address). Thanks guys!
