I haven't gotten anything from him in quite a while (an unfortunate side effect of being unemployed), but hope to again soon (I assume he's still around). Anyway, send email to "ear@xmission.com" (no quotes, of course) and you should be able to reach him. He's got a web site with a rather good catalog online, but I don't know the address off hand. You ought to be able to just do a search for "Ear/Rational," though. Dave's a great guy and has been an excellent source for Orb (and other) stuff for me for a couple years -- at least. Oh yeah -- thanks a bunch to those of you who've been posting reviews of "Toxygene" and the live UK show(s)...it's great to at least hear about it all. Cheers.

Date: 01 Feb 1997 02:00:46 -0500 I've finally got it. Toxygene, of course. [ A note of interest for the Canadians on this list: >I'm at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario Canada and >the local record shop won't order in Toxygene. Does anyone >know of any internet mail order places that have it yet? I don't think that's going to necessary. Toxygene (part ii) is now available in the downtown Toronto HMV, so if your local HMV doesn't carry it, ask them if they'll ship it to you from this store. No other store has it yet. Oh, and it costs CDN$12.99, which, with the US$ conversion come out to.....$9.75 + tax. No word yet on part i. ] I must admit I was quite suprised when a first gave it a spin. This, I thought, is NOT the Orb I remember. Then *POW* it hit me - it sure is, but with more gusto. Toxygene's great - especially the last mix. Oh, the pleasure. Then I mosied on over to the ORB section (they have this great new 'electronica' area) a lo and behold I found myself a copy of The Orb Adventures Beyond the UltraWorld DOUBLE CD set. Wow, I thought, some guys on the Orb list thinks this is rare. Then I noticed that there were 4 of them on the shelf. So I paid the CDN$44.97 for the disc (it had IMPORT stamped all over it) and gave it a spin too. It's worth the dough, folks. Just under 2 hours of the Orb, and with all my favorite tracks and some new ones too. If you already have the Ultraworld single CD, you may want to look around for the singles that are included on the disc. It's proabably cheaper that way (you see, I had the tape, so I HAD to buy it). A question, if you're still with me (that 'D' button beckons...) Does anybody know what tracks are on the newest (1995?) Orb peel sessions CD? Is it worth buying?

I have listened to the orb ever since Little Fluffy Clouds was released back in 1991. I was in grade 7 at the time. I am now a computer engineering student at Queen's university in Canada and have bought pretty much everything I could find by the Orb since then. (I still desperately need P&T video-- Why won't the orb re-release it?) I produce my own stuff but I use a lot of computer "tricks" so that I barely use any hardware. I am currently trying to get a record deal at R&S records and will hopefully get some money for a propper digital studio. As far as I am concerned the Orb lead the way still of not just the electronic music world but music in general. I am willing to debate that groups like the rb are the highest form of musical composition but I will get into that another time. If anyone cares to learn more about me or my music feel free to respond. I will hopefully have my webpage and samples up soon. cheers, Danjel van Tijn p.s. I still need a name! p.p.s.

Let me see.. the first time I heard the Orb was in 1994 at a friend's house. I was mighty impressed and went out the next day to purchase something by them. I bought a double cassette (!-it took me awhile to catch up to all this newfangled technology) version of Live 93 and have been faithful ever since. I saw them here in Vancouver in June of '95 and haven't seen anything that compares since. I have never been so involved in a show before, I just danced around in awe. Now I have just bought the second CD of Toxygene, and I am very happy with it (**understatement**) So that's all folks.

Got both CDs on Saturday (well my brother did! We share a CD collection!). First impressions are always wrong but I thought I would give them anyway! SHIT! I have been following the Orb progression since little fluffy cloud days and have caught up on anything else. I saw them live nearly exactly a year ago too. I watched them get more complex and intense, culminating in Orbus Terrarum and a live show which is still embedded in the back of my psyche only to be revealed someday hopefully through the art of recapitulation. They ripped their music and other peoples music apart and unlike some remix artists instead of putting them together to fit, they specifically created crests and troughs of sound and motion. The live gig was under the name "Le Petit Orb" and was at my university (Queens University but not the one in Canada or USA). They toar my mind apart with crunching sub-sonics and swirling vocal distortions. A friend of mine freaked out and stayed in the chillout room for a lot of the night. I managed to stay sane for a good portion of the "show" losing all control of my body and watching ravers freak out around me as the drum beat refused to stay constant. I had one of the most phenomenal nights of my life. Only really to be compared with The Young Gods, Sepultura or Hawkwind. The full orb are playing the second biggest venue in the country (not counting the new opera-house type place) on march 18th and when I heard my body shook in terror, remembering what had happened previously. Then we got to hear Toxygene. It started loose, which is usually a good sign of more intense shit to come. Then it progressed with about 5-6 sounds overriding each other, another good sign of what was to come. Then it continued in that same vein for 2 tiny CDs worth. I always gave the orb something over FSOL because they could cram a multitude of sounds and soundscapes over each other and not lose track. Their Democracy re-mix is a perfect example, I can't think of anything more you would want to pull over that. FSOL had the ability to create a similar feel using less sounds going for that more minimalist style, but then orb return to their old ways. Excuse the word, but they went more MAINSTREAM with their ideas, sounding at some times like those "snappers at heels" The Chemical Brothers and even a little of Orbital being injected in. I'm sorry if this sounds bad but I liked the was (way, even) that orb were sending their musical spirit. Maybe LX has financial problems or maybe he is pissed off with the fact that when little fluffy clouds came out they were famous and now everyone laughs at them saying they are just figments of acid takers' imaginations. I can only hope that Orblivion crunches painfully through my CD player when I get it and not lick it's laser unit!!!! I even once compared Orb to Coil in the chewy stakes! Coil won on pure over the top homo-sexual arse-bandit-ing, but Orb did have some of their crunchyness. Then again, Coil have been going for 20 years and orb haven't! If you are listening LX, then try doing a remix of the Anal Staircase or some other horrendous imagining of the Coil library. Thats my rant! Now onto DjDan (dmotut@robson.jumppoint.com)'s question: > anyone know what drug i'm on? From your accuracy of typing, I would say Alcohol is not it, you can't be smoking a cigarette because typing is too hard to do with a fag in your hand, Cannabis is a bit too subtle to create any change and also produces too much paranoia to allow one to mention its usage on a computer screen, heroine doesn't compute as you would be off doing something more interesting if you were on it and cocaine couldn't be accounted for similarly (also count PCP and other such stuff in that). LSD or Psylocibin or mescalito isn't likely either as the paranoia mixed with the technophobia would probably leave you licking the keyboard not typing with it. This leaves the last main group: Stimulants! Caffeine usually affects the typing skill a bit too much, so I would have to suggest possibly an amphetamine or some form. MDMA is unlikely as you wouldn't want to waste it on typing but I think Amphetamine Sulphate is very possible, Ephedrine is also possible! So which was it then???

Personally, I think it's great to see the Orb getting a lot of attention again. So many people in the dance music scene (at least here in the eastern U.S.) dissed the Orb after Pomme Fritz, then completely wrote them off after Orbvs Terrarvm. It's nice to see them get some much deserved notice again. And speaking of mass appeal, I think it's really gratifying that electronic music in general has taken off so much in the last six or seven years after being thorougly out of vogue (esp. here in the U.S.) for so long.

But if you get it, don't pay too much attention to the other tracks, kind of trashy techno-pop, pretty discouraging... I doubt that anyone who's gone to some of the Orb sites and read through some of the interviews Paterson suffered and bitched through thinks seriously that this album is about sales. It's one of those moot points. And even from the pop culture side of things...I'm in Indiana, where like no one has ever heard of the Orb...and Prodigy and Chemical Brothers are becoming household names. I agree with the sentiment that music loses something when so many people like it. I heard of the Orb primarily by word of mouth, got u.f.orb, absorbed it slowly, then my friend got Orbus Terrarum when it came out and our minds were blown. Anyway, the 'hugely neglected feminine side of the Orb' that Paterson's quoted as talking about in the remix project booklet is intimate for me and some of my friends and probably some of you on the list. It feels kind of cheap to hear people compare how the Orb's beats stack up to those puny little bastards in some other group...don't you all KNOW that Chemical Brothers don't have a clue about the soul of the Orb's music? Why are we trying to prove it to ourselves? (Yes, I was doing it too for a bit there...) I've over-moralized something that just is, but think about it. Me, I can't wait to hear what they've done this time out. Thanks for hearing me.

Just two comments on this: 1) You could still some time ago order the Blue Room from CD-Now. I was very happy about this because in Europe, there is _no way_ you can find it in regular shops. 2) I've heard that they decided to make "Adventures in Ultraworld".

Is there any interaction between TheOrb and FSOL?? They both seem to be occupying a similar space in music but using different styles to do it! I would have naturally presumed that they were enemies, ie. TheOrb being the more freindly and jovial type would probably have said hello to FSOL but I can't imagine FSOL making Orb feel at home! I love both bands and have great difficulty choosing which over which. Until I heard Toxygene I would have said that the Orb's direction was better than FSOL but now, I would have trouble choosing who was doing what! Does anybody know of any interaction between the two bands? I would love to hear a FSOL vs. TheOrb or something like that. But it in a creepy "bad trip" scenario and see who can scare the audience the most! I think Orb would have the better overall effect, but FSOL would win out of pure shock-tactics! DOH!

My 2cents: I think that the guy saying that 8 year olds buy singles is talking about real "singles". Tapes and CDs that have a top 40 radio edit song and *maybe* a B-side or remix. Most bands I listen to (the orb included) do not release these kinds of discs... rather, Maxi-singles with at least 4 tracks on them.

The show in Seattle had a fair amount of rap which is surprising since I don't think there is rap on any of his albums. I don't know if he did that because of expectations he had of the American audience or what. I believe this is the first time he toured in the states.

I just got a call from my local record store (Finest CD's + Tapes) telling me my first part of *Toxygene* will be in Saturday!!! I went ahead and ordered "Oblivion" ahead of time as well. I was looking for part one earlier this week while I was in Denver. I was at one of the better record stores. When I walked in a noticed they were blaring the new FSOL...cool! I went to the counter and asked if they had the new Orb single. The surly, unaffected guy behind the counter nearly fell out of his chair. "THE ORB HAVE A NEW SINGLE!!!!", he gasped. "Yeah it's been out for about a week.", I responded. Well, we talked about that for a bit, and then I checked out a few of their other things. I found an import of Single Cell Orchestra's release with "Transmit Liberation" for only eight bucks!!! I also picked up DJ SHADOW's release, but I passes on the Freaky Chakra. All in all a good day! I think I left the guy behind the counter a little more disgruntled than when I arrived. I don't know why, other than I was wearing a suit (job interview) when I asked for something he didn't have. He seemed nice enough when we talked, though. Oh well... What an exciting month...New Orb...New David Bowie...AND a new Lynch film on Valentine's Day. What more could a girl ask for? Chocolates...?

You know, in spite of all I've read on here of what others think of the new material, it *still* surprised the hell out me. My initial reactions to the first minute or so of the edit version were of total amazement, but not necessarily *good* amazement: "*THIS* is the Orb?!" "_Orbvs Terrarvm_ was better...." and "Bring back Kris Weston!" While Way Out West's remix was slamming out of my speakers, I was still having some doubts about the single, but by the time the disc player got to "Delta Mk II", I was won over. "Now THAT's more like it!" was pretty much how I felt from that point to the end of the disc. I've had it on constant rotation ever since.... I remember Nico's comment on how he first thought that "this isn't the Orb I remember," but then came around to, "Yes it *is* them...just shorter and harder," or something like that. Ditto for me. In a lot of ways the stuff isn't a startling new direction at all, but rather the familiar, sample-laden, heavy dub you hear on older records like the _YMO vs. The Orb (Tong Poo Remixes)_ EP. I'm anxious to hear the album- (i.e. full-length) version of "Toxygene"...the edit is just too "quick" for that material...even the tiny "Blue Room" radio edit worked better, IMHO. The "Toxic Genes" mix (on Part 2) is a much more involved reworking by LX and company, yes? I probably won't get to hear that version until next weekend or so. To Alex, Andy, and the rest of the crew -- Congrats & thanks again for some GREAT new stuff! And I think the new logo is pretty cool, too....

Orblivion opens with Toxygene and I really like the album version (it's the extended edit from the single). But for me the other stuff on the album makes me wanna say "The Orb is back!". The breakbeats, ambience and strange samples, all in that dubby Orb style. For me that's The Orb and not that dance floor friendly stuff guys like Kris Needs and the Way Out West Begbie made. Just my opinion!

Asylum - an electro dancy track - excellent Passing of time - starts with a 2 minute sample of an Indian magic man talking about meditation and turns into a tribal beat,finishing with a sample against racism -truely excellent.

I'm just replying to everything today.... =) There's some really great biographical reading at the Ultraworld web site, including the older (but very good, IMO) articles out of the Trance Europe Express series on the Orb and FFWD>>. To cover your question very quickly, though, the core members are Alex Paterson and Andy Hughes. Other friends / collaborators come and go, but some are so ubiquitous they're nearly like "bandmembers" (Thomas Fehlmann, Youth, and Steve Hillage come to mind). Then there are the former core members, Jimmy Cauty & Kris Weston. Lots of Orbular people out there, and I for one think it's great that they work with so many people. It'd be great to have a day in the studio with them...I'd *love* to learn first hand about "Orbient" audio production.... Hope this helps....

I'm 20 years old, I live in Cracow, Poland and I'm studying economics on our University. I love Orb but it is very hard to take any their albums, because we have very young and small music market. So, most of my Orb singles I have taped from some guy who had bought them in England. You can call it piracy, but it is the only way to get singles in Poland (in fact, you can buy singles but only STARS ones like Tina Turner, George Michael, Spice Girls...). I also like other bands like The Young Gods, Rollins Band, Soundgarden, Orbital, System 7, Underworld, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Dead Can Dance, Jane's Addiction and more... If anyone of you want to talk about them mail me. Well, that's all, I think. Forgive me my language errors.

Ultraworld, having for a very long time been a "fan" site and only recently kid-tested and mother-approved by Alex and Andy, probably flew in under their radar, which is both a good and a bad thing. It's a good thing because if there's anything Lazlo and I don't need, it's "creative input" from Island records. Of course, the downside is that we haven't gotten any promotional materials to put up on the official site. Once a fan site, always a fan site I'm afraid. On a positive note, as soon as I get my order for the Toxygene singles back from EAR/Rational, I'll be putting up samples on www.theorb.com (same for Orblivion). cheers and thanks for the kind words.... wally -- wally@nicar.org "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, You are gods'?" # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: rachel@ironlight.com (Rachel) Subject: (orb) Orb Stuff Date: 12 Feb 1997 14:09:51 -0800 Hi Kidz... just a few gripes and questions along the Orb frame of mind... First off, can I just complain about the CD cover for Auntie Aubrey's Excursions?

Like any other release that doesn't come in a jewel box, my CDs went straight into a jewel box. I think the packaging looks great, but I've never seen a non-jewelbox design that I thought was as *functional* as a jewel box (the function, of course, being to keep my CDs from getting banged up . . . ) > Also, I was wondering what the attraction to US Releases was?

Of the *eight* Orb albums released in the US to date, the first US pressing of "Adventures" is the only one that was edited down from the UK version, and even that mistake was corrected when the band switched labels from Mercury to Island. I don't think that qualifies as "more often than not"! > any reason, toher than moolah, someone could explain to me why you'd want > them? I think that for most people, the moolah is the overwhelming reason. Full-length UK CDs can run almost twice as much as the US versions, and UK singles are even more ridiculous given that they typically run $10 each and are released in pairs versus the typical $6 one-disc US version . . . > (especially as any Virgin megastore will have the imports well before the > american versions come out) "Any" Virgin megastore . . . of where there are what, maybe a dozen in the entire United States?

It was only for half an hour because they came in late from the Airport and have to work them through a lot of interviews. Lucky for me I was the first one they had to talk to, so they were not sick of hearing the same and same questions over and over again. I don't asked much questions anyway because Andy was the first one to talk to, Alex had some shopping to do first, and he is that kind of guy who easy speaks. Andy is a real nice guy who recognized me as "that guy from the Orb list" the moment he walked in and heard my name! We talked about their performance on Top of the Pops and he told me that when The Orb wanted to the things they really like, they had to do dose things now and then. But he and Alex were asking themselfs the whole day if it was te right thing to do. But Andy admit that at the end, it are the guy's with the suits that made that kind of decisions. After that we talked about Auntie Aubrey's Excursions. Volume 2 will come out in next year because they wanna release Orblivion first and they don't wanna get all the money out of the pockets of their fans. At that time Alex came in the room and he stayed vague about that mono thing (?) We also talked about the UK press and their obsession to talk about drugs. Andy had a bad day reading an article in Vox. The interviewer used quottes about drugs that were not said by them. So he really was dissapointed about it. We talked about their upcoming tour in the UK (and in Holland on sunday april 13th!!), about only Andy and Alex onstage. Thomas Fehlmann DJ'ing on this tour. According to Alex Fehlmann is now an official "floating" member of The Orb. Last albums were done by The Orb & Thomas Fehlmann but this it will only be The Orb (inlcuding Fehlmann). We talked about movies (Naked from Mike Leigh) and US samples on Orblivion. They like to use US samples because the things that are said on tv and radio in the US should be serious but are so funny, Alex told me. And it goes on for a couple of minutes and than that nice lady from the record company came in to replace me for another person with loads of questions. I'm going to work the tape out this weekend. Is their anything you should know I let you know!

In general I'd say the disc is the most 'Orbesque' single they've put out for ages (as compared with the "Oxbow Lakes" mixes or the harder mixes of "Toxygene" on part 1). The "Toxic Genes Mix" is brilliant through and through, as is "Rose Tinted," which reminds me quite a bit of the _FFWD>>_ album. The guy at the shop where I bought the disc said that part 1 is now out of print, so apparently it was limited. Anyone else heard this? If true, I'd say that part 2 is the better one to have anyway, seeing as "Delta Mk II" is going to be on the album. IMO, the Kris Needs mix on the first part is the only thing you'd really miss if you can't get hold of part 1. Now, to those more in the know of remixers in the UK these days than me, who are Fila Brazillia and Way Out West? I've seen both names recently (in some British music magazines, if I remember correctly), associated with remixes of someone or other, but I wasn't paying any real attention at the time.... BTW, some non-Orb news for idm'ers on here (I don't sub to that list, so I'll post what I've got here instead): Autechre have a new EP, "Envane", out (released Jan. 27...I had no idea), and their new album, _Chiastic Slide_, is due Feb. 24.

I've seen both names recently Fila Brazilia have 4 great albums out on the Pork label (which you should be able to find @ domestic prices in the US). They've also done quite a few remixes in the past 2 years (Freakpower, arakatuba, lamb, better daze...). mostly acid jazz & house beats, but more capable & more diverse than most. Way out west have done many remixes & only just recently their own big hit "the gift" that used the same sample by joanna law that Coldcut use in their mix cd's. they're on deconstruction & are much better than most of the house acts on decon. (often have a little breakbeat mixed in). though some of the remixes they've done for top 40 artists are a mixed bag. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: chuckt@scsn.net (Charlie Todd) Subject: (orb) Delta MK II, Orblivion Date: 13 Feb 1997 21:52:20 -0500 Someone mentioned that there wouldn't be any need for owning the Delta MK II version on Toxygene part i... The Delta MK II on my promo tape of Orblivion is NOT the same as the Toxygene version. I like it alot more actually... it starts out with a sample of former U.S. senator Joe McCarthy saying, "are you or have you ever been a member of the communist party?" Pretty cool sample... it doesn't have any of the "repeat: america has not fallen" samples... After giving the album several listens, all I can say is two big thumbs up. I'm not all that familiar with the Drum 'n Bass style, but I don't think that's what this is... except maybe for a little while on Delta MK II... It's very ambient, very orbvs... but very different at the same time. That makes no sense... but I don't know how the hell I'm gonna explain it. There's been some speculation that the actual album is over 70 minutes long. The promo I have (which has the Island lable on it and a stock number, etc.) is under 60 minutes... but it could very well not be the full album. To all U.S. dwellers, I'm willing to make some tape trades if any of you want to get a dub of Orblivion. It's about a month untill it gets released here... A couple of folks already have some deals with me... if your interested in getting a dub, mail me a list of what orb stuff you have and maybe we can trade tapes... l8r -Charlie ____________________________________ *Member: Interstellar Groove Patrol* Non-Groovers will be prosecuted ____________________________________ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Christopher William Niemitz Subject: Re: (orb) Delta MK II, Orblivion Date: 13 Feb 1997 19:46:18 -0800 (PST) On Thu, 13 Feb 1997, Charlie Todd wrote: > sample of former U.S. senator Joe McCarthy saying, "are you or have you > ever been a member of the communist party?"

My plan was to throw the protoplasm and the aluminium together and see which corrodes first! Orb vs Aphex Twin would be nice, but I ain't a big fan of nice. I like things to be a little bit more twisted and deeper than nice. FSOL are artifitial lifeforms, orb are spirits. Imagine an android with emotions! Would he/she not be the perfect being? I can imagine the scene now: LX and Andy are sitting passing a bong around in the studio. Dougans, Cobain and a well beaten slave enter. They start to play around with sounds. Orb wants to put in a major progression at the start to get things kicking; FSOL want to put in a sample from hiroshima to kill whatever is kicking and burn the thing! Orb start to do their own thing, FSOL kill everything with swirling dirvish sound-scapes and crashing percussion - cutting into a sample from Bartok or maybe a string section from Stravinsky. Orb give up and leave the sampler on loop, looping "I wish I could fly, right up to the sky (fade)". FSOL rip out two machetes which they surgically implanted into their slave incase of such an emergency. LX and Andy are used on the new FSOL album, distorting their screams and the crushing of their bones in new and interesting ways! Hmmmm..... I can just picture it! What luvely music that would make!!! Hard Industrial with that earthy feel! Thats enough of my useless comments! Anyone else any ideas? /> u9350276@qub.ac.uk, Belfast, N.

Date: 10 Feb 1997 17:57:34 -0500 Hello folks! I'm new to this mailing list and am hoping I came to the right place. Let me explain. Late Friday night, I was fliping through the channels and came across a show on MTV. This particular segment seemed to be centered around psychedelic videos. All were quite good, but there was one in perticular that was absolutly great! All I could catch of the caption at the end of the video was "ORB". A little internet research led me to this mailing list. Let me give a slight description of this video, and if anyone can tell me what its called, where/what it's from, where I can purchase it, or anything else relevant to it or the band, I would be extreamly grateful. The main focus of the video seemed to be a constant string of spinning O's. There were shots of computer generated cactus fields that seemed to be getting snowed on. Also, There were shots of what appeared to be animated computer generated weather patterns. and last but not least, some very colorful and psychedelic patterns, possibly supposed to resemble mecury. Any info would be greatly appreciated, and if by chance I'm at the wrong place, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. Thanx Much! Later!

I've seen both names recently Fila Brazilia have 4 great albums out on the Pork label (which you should be able to find @ domestic prices in the US). They've also done quite a few remixes in the past 2 years (Freakpower, arakatuba, lamb, better daze...). mostly acid jazz & house beats, but more capable & more diverse than most. Way out west have done many remixes & only just recently their own big hit "the gift" that used the same sample by joanna law that Coldcut use in their mix cd's. they're on deconstruction & are much better than most of the house acts on decon. (often have a little breakbeat mixed in). though some of the remixes they've done for top 40 artists are a mixed bag. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JRQ Subject: Re: (orb) Sun Electric Date: 14 Feb 1997 15:55:17 -0800 james.drysdale@utoronto.ca wrote: > > A little non-Orb content, but does anyone know what Sun Electric's newest > album is called? > > James Yes, it's called "Present".

What would you >recomend as a starting album? It's hard for me to recommend one recording, really. How readily-available are U.S. pressings in Canada where you are? If you can find 'em, the _System 7.3: Fire + Water_ release on Astralwerks would be a very good bargain, 'cos you get the _Point 3: Fire_ album and _Point 3: Water_ ambient remix album in one set. Robert Lane copied their newest release, the _System Express_ remix album, for me, and it's a broad sampling of stuff from a broad time range (1991-1997), and quite good, IMO. It's due for a U.S. release before long.... Personally, I really like the production & engineering on the instrumental tracks from the first album (called _777_ by 777 in the U.S.), especially "Listen," which I think is one of their best tracks. There are a couple (IMO *excellent*) Orb remixes on the U.S. version as well. And if you're looking for Orb collaboration, "A Cool Dry Place" on the second album (called _777_ by System 7, UK only) is brilliant, as is "Davey Jones' Locker" on the recent _Power of Seven_ LP. Hope this helps....

It airs Saturdays at 2:00AM and repeats Sundays at 1:00AM. I have been taping it since I heard about it five weeks ago because, although I agree with a previous poster ( it is better to sit in a dark room, crank up the CD player and let your mind supply the videos), AMP DOES provide exposure to new techno/ambient artists that get little or no radio airplay. Anyway, I reviewed the tape from two weeks ago, because I remember seeing the Orb's "Blue Room" and your description didn't match up with the video. There is also an important distinction about AMP - the artist and song titles only appear at the BEGINNING of the videos - not at the end as MTv normally does. The video you are referring to was called "The Wipe", performed by Teste from the album X-Mix 3 which sounds like a compilation. The Orb video followed. Should you wish to pursue the "Blue Room", it is on UFOrb. If you are lucky enough to find an old copy which is a double CD, the second disc is the Blue Room single, which contains the 3 minute edit and the 40 minute "full version" of the 17 and a half minute album version.

I turned my living room into the dance room and put red light bulbs in the two lamps... played some chemical brothers and a bunch of U2 dance remixes... When late night came and everyone was crashing, it was "LIVE 93 disc i" time! It was really cool chillin' in my house with some people under the red lights and groovin' out to the Orb. Cool way to end any party. On another note, I read in this month's RAYGUN magazine that Trent Reznor (NIN) is letting some people do remixes of his new single "The Perfect Drug" he went through a long list of people who were working on one and The Orb was there... also goldie and some of the other ususual suspects.

E-mail me privately. 2) I caught some good articles about Orb in UK press. Wax, February 97 with LX at home, discussing about his top ten chill out faves (different, except for the War album, from his choices discussed in the TEE article) : Wagner, Monk and Canatella, King Tubby, Chic, and of course Brian Eno. "I don't like being worshipped myself, I'd rather just get on with the job" = (LX) Blah Blah Blah N=B012 "Return from Orblivion". Almost straight photos from L= X and Andy. They talk about ENIT, success... "What I want from this album is to be loved, I may no longer care what other people think of the music, but I'll always want to be loved" (LX too !) Wire, February 1997 where LX is tested by Mike Barnes about his musical cultures. He didn't really succeed in doing the blind test, but the interview was interesting : he talked about FFWD, Bill Laswell, samples (again !) etc... Muzik N=B022, March 1997 The craziest one. We don't learn that much from them, but there are some really cool pictures of Andy and LX mounting bulls, and a KLF-like photo of The Orb waiting for the Apocalypse. And there's a good review of the album (8 out of 10) with the album cover (black, with a green-Orb-yellow star. Can't describe much, it's so small) And of course the VOX article, although Andy said to Nico that he was misquo= ted.

Date: 17 Feb 1997 17:25:28 -0600 (CST) What you get out of the Orb is you. There's no wizard of Orb. In concern with LX, pull back the curtain and you get a fat balding horny egotistical englishman who happens to be good with a sampler. Talk to him for longer than fifteen minutes and you'll see what I mean.I had to learn the hard way. Like I said earlier in another post, I brought him doun for a gig and the more I talked to him and got to know him, the more I wished I would have never met him in the first place. I think my opening message is the one LX wants a lot of people to realize. I think alot of people approach him expecting a guru and and he's not and he gets pissed off at people tacking all this shit onto him. Or maybe he's just an asshole, I dunno. The point is , YOU are the wizard of Orb, if you've had any amazing experiences while listening to the music, pat yourself on the cosmic back,it's not just the acid, you have magic in you!! Now if you can only learn how to work with it to make it stronger and share it with others, you'll really be in business.

I saw Mazzy Star in Vega before Christmas, which also nominally began at 20:00. In practice, this is when the doors open, and there was an openning band about 22:00, and Mazzy Star didn't hit the stage until well after midnight. I left the club close to 2:00. I would imagine that The Orb will similarly play a very late set. The last time they played Copenhagen, it was in Den Graa Hall (The Gray Hall) in Christiana, and that club closes exactly at midnight, so it was a drag as they were a bit behind schedule, and had their show truncated by the house lights coming up. Hopefully, Vega will be a more Orb-friendly venue. grant.. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Smiley Subject: (orb) uk orb listers!

Something to do with the FSOL film opening for the Orb in NY. It seems FSOL blames LX for the film being pushed back from its time slot (which was against thier contract) to a time when no one was there to see it. They also were played through the house PA instead of the concert stacks, which they blame on LX, too. They also rip apart LX's DJing. It's amusing at best.

I went the other night hoping to see him and found it to be quite shameful. Bar 16 on Sunday nights and Thursday nights has far better music (for you jungle fans - you should really check it out), and it's _not_ a raver crowd. In fact, it's _free_ and it has way better music. I'd much rather sit back on a couch in a lounge to hear LX than be bombarded with the heat, bad smells, pitiful visuals and the I've-been-fucked-up-since-Friday-night- on-basically-everything-and-after-this-I'm-dropping-to-the-ground crowd. Konkrete is 10 dollars, although friends got me in for 2, which is still too much if I'm gonna have to be reminded all night of why I stopped going to parties in the first place. Just my 2 cents.

I mean, the majority of people in the WORLD are bastards. you also have to understand that this is what, only one night/hour/time out of the year that you're seeing someone, out of their natural habitat. just cos someone is a bastard or seems like a really nice guy may be totally unlike their regular personality. maybe his turtle just died, or you find out some good news, who knows. I got to meet him VERY briefly a few months ago & almost didn't want to cos I had heard that he was a jerk & didn't want that to influence my enjoyment of the music. he was nice & a few nights later at another show he kissed a friend of mine (& some other people)... also, I meant to write this earlier but I've been busy. I think 2 weeks ago, on R U Receiving (on MuchMusic= Canadian MTV, show is similiar to AMP) they had a short interview (30 secs) w/ Alex (he was wearing a cool hat w/ the impossible orbject logo) talking about how music must reflect changes & the only artists who he owned more than 6 albums of were Bowie & Zeppelin. then they showed the Blue Room & lfc videos. don't know how old the interview was.

Subject: (orb) useless little message. :) Date: 21 Feb 1997 06:54:06 -0800 (PST) i recently attended an 'all-night-dance-party' in the vancouver area (in canada). the scene around here is kind of dying, and thus, the party was no fun most of the night.. until about 3:30am, when a local dj (who was incidentally wearing an orb mission 1993 tshirt) spun a few mixes of toxygene consecutively in the downtempo room. needless to say, it seemed to bring everyone up and get that vibey thing flowing again. :) from that point on, the room (well, tent) was groovin' the rest of the night.. the power of the orb. :) :) ben. ps- i bought toxygene discs 1 & 2 several weeks ago (for $7.99can each at the virgin megastore.. if anyone around here is still looking..) and never actually put together a review. the mini-reviews that were floating around the list didn't come close to describing the track IMO... not in a bad, way though. i was expecting progressive dub.. instead toxygene ended up being the orb's return to dance music. & it was even better than i expected.. it's kind of interesting to notice that almost no one on the list has said anything remotely negative about the new sound for the orb. i'm just curious about the hype and videos for orblivion.. in north america in the last 6 months, prodigy, underworld, the chem's, and orbital have hit the charts.. i'm expecting a lot more electronic dance music to become popular in 1997.. hmmm.. maybe the orb is next? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Creature Feature! *PHART* Subject: (orb) useless_little_message Date: 21 Feb 1997 15:44:28 EST "ben p." said: > i expected.. it's kind of interesting to notice that almost no one on the > list has said anything remotely negative about the new sound for the orb. eh.. if I remember rightly I sent a nasty mail to the list the day after I heard Toxygene for the first time and it wasn't about the cover! I feel they have seen the gap between dance and pop widen and a market appear which other bands like orbital, Chemical brothers, etc. have started to fill in and The Orb probably felt hard-done-by and thought to themselves that they may aswell exploit it for what they can. Up until Orbus Terrarum the Orb were progressing at a phenomenal rate into pure Acid-induced mayhem. For a while it was the only music we would play when tripping. Then when the media killed Orbus Terrarum and the market appeared, LX probably thought, I'll have some of that. I've been doing this shit for years so why not! Does anyone know why Thrash is no longer in the band? I don'tbut I would be interested to know if this had anything to do with it! Of course this is all speculation and there is no use complaining about Orb dropping their pants and taking it up the preverbial ass - eg. 14.50 for a ticket to see their belfast gig, when last year I saw them for 5 pound! Anyway, there new stuff is good, but I do wish they could have made another two albums going the same sorta direction as Orbus Terrarum went after Pomme Fritz. That would have psychotropically devastating to my brain, but I think I could have taken it alright!!! :) Hell, its the law of the jungle, do what you have to do to survive. FUCK EM ALL Thats what I say, and it works. I'll buy the new album and so will loads of other people! :) "This rant was sponsered by L, X and the number 69" /> u9350276@qub.ac.uk, Belfast, N.

Any ideas? cheers, Danjel van Tijn aka INTELLIJEL -- Web Page coming soon!------------------------------------------------- _______ ________ ___ __ __ ________ __ / __ /\ / ____ /\ / | / /\ / /\ / ______/\ / /\ / /\/ / / / /___/ / / / /| |/ / / __ / / / / /_____/\/ / / / / /_/ / / / ___ / / / / | / / / / /___/ / / / /____ /\/ / /_/___ /______/ / /__/\_/_/ / /_/ /|__/ / /_______/ / /_______/\/ /_______/\ \______\/ \__\/ \__/ \_\/ \__\/ \_______\/ \_______\/ \_______\/ ------------------------Danjel van Tijn------------------------------- w238 Leonard Hall Queen's University Kingston ON K7L 2T2 (613) 531-3642 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: dj hamster Subject: (orb) Orblivion !!!

Yeah, i have an amazing mix of Majestic done by Cool Col J, using Protracker for an unreleased and unrealised Orb demo my demo crew was working on a few years ago. The mod is about 650kb big and goes for 4 mins and 38 secs. Unfortunately it's never been released to the general public (it was written nearly 5 years ago!).

A friend of mine and I released a demo in '93 called "How to Skin a Cat" where we used a module called "A Drop of Blue" which was more or less a rework of Perpetual Dawn. About a month after the demo was released the musician remixed the module and it became was just incredible, and still is. I may have it somewhere, I can check if you like.

Obviously not written bya native speaker of English, the grammar was, um, entertaining. actually, the whole booklet was chock full of laughable mis-information. (ie. they kept referring to the "Chilly Out" album, remixes of I. M.O. songs) for example, they would discuss the chimneys and sheep art of the Orb's "Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld" album, and just generally seemed to have ALMOST right information.... good for a laugh, but if the tracks are the same, you;re better off buying Future Music instead. Other than being called a Sonic Book, there really wasn't much info on who put the book together, what connection they had to the Orb, etc. anyone else come across this mysterious publication? also, they refer to an "Orb in Dub E.P." released in 1991.... does it exist? anyone know anythign about it?

And was there a 'Ganga Kru Remix #1'??? Anyhow, the article in Future Music is pretty good, listing the equipment they use, with Alex saying: "...I'm not much into Tangerine Dream or Gong. I don't really like them." Anyhow, if anyone wants a track listing of 'Orblivion' (with times) let me know, and I'll post them straight away. Glad to be back...

When I receive it I let you know what's true of that. also, they refer to an "Orb >in Dub E.P." released in 1991.... does it exist? anyone know anythign about >it? (not that i have any confidence in their accuracy... just thought it >was worth asking....) Yes it exist! Orb in Dub (Big Life BLR R46) A Towers of Dub (ambient mix, mixed in dub by The Orb) B Perpetual Dawn (Ultrabass 2, mixed by Andrew Weatherall) Payed a lot of money for it back in 1992. It's been re-released in 1994 or 1995 and goes on the street for a few= bucks. That !!=A3^%=A3$% of Big Life!!

I recently noticed, however, that advance copies are available from CDNow for a mere $14! That's pretty good, considering their normal price of up to $18. CDNow expects the release date to be March 11. For those who are interested, a new Swervedriver LP is also supposed to be released on that date!

What are the chances of any of us getting on the guest lists when the Orb role through our towns? I'd love to meet any Orb people, give them a demo CD, maybe get something autographed. Apart from anything else it would add to the Orb experience to be able to say you were on an Orb guest list (status).
