March 4, 2000. (Wellington, New Zealand 4 March 2000) We (shift) have put together a site promoting the event - this includes the beginnings of a discography, a live review, competition to win tickets (to the event - unfortunately not to New Zealand) and The Orb - mixer - an audiovisual mixer using Orb samples and NZ pics. The site is called The Orb - adventures in aotearoa. (Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand - translated it means Land of the Long White Cloud). It uses both Flash and Shockwave and is kind of fun. http://www.theorb.shift.co.nz/ Cheers Andy s h i f t http://www.shift.co.nz * ph: +64 4 499 8050 * Level 1, Dominion Building, 78 Victoria Street P O Box 11-883 * Wellington * New Zealand ........................................................................................................................

ANYWAY, i hope you all enjoyed the mp3 i posted last week... ...'cos there will be more next week. i've mp3'd up samples of all the tracks from cydonia (version 1) - about 2 minutes or so per track - 16Mb in all. these will be posted to the Ultraworld site over the weekend, and Laz is setting up a 'Cydonia' page for them to go on. Laz will post to let you all know when you can grab 'em. when you do get them, don't forget that these are SAMPLES - most of the tracks are 7 minutes plus, so 2 min samples only give a small flavour of the track. listen to them a few times. enjoy. i'm off to scotland in the morning, so i'll see all you boys and girls next year/century/millennium/etc. cheers, ===== Smiley New spares list: http://come.to/SmileyWeb ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
