I am listening to them right now and it is absolutely amazing. I recommend that everyone go check them out. It is just the perfect mix of bizarre lush sounds with a complex tune and a driving full beat. It is just awesome. This is the my first listen I think I am going to have to go buy the cd now although it will be very expensive for me since they are on warp records which is hard for me to get. I just thought that all of you should be told of this superbly sounding group.

I think it's still in beta or something (uses a lot of memory etc.) but it f***ing kicks ASS. Go download it at http://buzz.scene.org/winamp/ ps Umm, when you're not using it it's not enough just to kill the window, you should go to the plugins dialog and turn the darn thing off...to free up some (20 or so megs :-)) memory and return to the original sound.

I just bought a 12" single for Chime and Belfast that says it was produced by 'P & P Martnoll' or something like that. I had just assumed it was a bootleg and contented myself with having those songs on vinyl, but when I looked at the discography, I noticed that the early orbital singles were on Oh-Zone records, and this is also on Oh-Zone records. So, my question is, is it a legitimate release or not? - -Morey # 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. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Feb 1998 13:39:45 +0000 From: "Morey Gamble" Subject: Re: (orbital) why? ? > Yesterday, while I was shopping I found an Orbital cd with the picture of > a bird on front and the word 'why?'.

I have the UK version and my CD is silver... but we were talkin in #orbital (everybody come join us!) and somebody was saying theirs is red.. but I think they had the US version. I'm confused now.

I'd just like to say hello to everyone on the orbital mailing list I had been on a while back (like almost 2 years ago) but for some reason lost track of where it was, I found it again, and just got around to re-subscribing. To introduce myself, My name is Jim Jones, and am from the east coast USA (New Jersey, to be exact) My interest in orbital arose from seeing them live back in 1992 and was immediately impressed by the Hartnolls.... I'm glad to see and hear that they have progressed, and recieved critical acclaim that they truly deserve... They've left a big impression on me and to all that enjoy them i say cheers to ya!!! looking forward to interesting and stimulating conversation!

I was introducing them to two of my friends for the first time live and they didn't dissapoint!!! in addition, I had gotten general admission seating, way far away from the stage, but we were able to move into the "pit" area of the venue (Sony/Blockbuster E-centre in Camden, NJ) and got to groove with them up close.... now thats one of the things I really like about Orbital.. plus they have a cool equipment setup too!!! anyway, just babbling....

I mean, there's the questions of vocals alone. I definitely want their vocals over my remix. So, do I contact them and have them get me a CD with only the vocal version ? Would I parse the song thru all kinds of torture devices to get the vocals out of it by myself, or would I get a CD with the samples and all that from the Hanson's label ? Or is it all maybe in vinyl ? What about instrument samples ? And after all, when I do the remix and it's absolutely fabulous, do I have the right to release it ? Or do I have to pray that Hanson's label decide to publish it ? I hope you all understood my question(s). and now for a suggestion...for the next loopz orbital remix competition... it might be fun if there was a limited set of chosen samples (but plenty of them) that people could use to make an orbital remix, any track at all -- but if it had to be done with the chosen samples. maybe even P&P would care choose these. hah !
