Call me fussy...but... >A lot of people have been mailing me personally (sorry for not replying >to each and every one of you) asking me if I was going to make >a disc out of it and sell it like Loopz sold the Oscillate CD... and the >answer is NOPE.

I've been listening to it over and over, and love it. The Oscillate Cd was co-sold with Zed-Pool who actually manufactured the cd. The editing/production etc i helped with and i do feel that this Live set is far superior to ANY bootleg live set you will hear. The recording was actually taken from the Mixing desk as opposed to an audio tape or video tape. Nothing was hidden from Orbital (who actually received 5 copies) and the end of the day , people who bought the recording bought a permanent recording on cd not a web cast or someone chucking out mp3. For those who want this video that Leq is referring to...then keep an eye out on MTV ... they have repeated this no less than 3 times. Im sure once Orbital come out from their studio...the TV network will be looking to their archives to show what they have of Orbital. My view will always be that I wont sell or distribute anything Orbital related without conscent from Phil and Paul. I also wont sell anything that i wouldnt buy myself....i think quality is important...and selling something that is common and easy to get is also Wrong. Ive had no complaints (all positive feedback - lots saying it WAS worth the money) about what i did with Zed-Pool (Oscillate) but after i read the last paragraph ... something bugged me about the "I wouldn't sell it but distribute it freely on the Web. ".

These were good reasons to track down some MP3s. Today someone encoded and sent me Glassworks (good stuff here, what was played on SNL) and The Photographer.
