Most seem to list "postal rates" which in the not to distant past were listed as "postage and handling". These services are getting more than just the postage to offset the cost of having someone pull, package and then travel over to the post office to send it off. (Think what Smiley could be charging!) This has been going on for years now, and not with just record stores. Either you buy this way or you don't. As someone previously stated, many of these items you order on-line just aren't available at the local shops. (Most of our shops in the US don't have a clue anyway, but that's a whole other issue) For me UK postal rates are killing me. I have an order being processed now for two Orb items (one cd-single + one 3xLP album) that is costing me $17.71 in postage. Ouch!!! I am getting a fantastic price on the goods which had been on my want list for several years. So the deal works out good in the end. Items I've sent to the UK from here (California) haven't cost me that much in postage and seem to get there in 5 to 7 days. The rates just vary from country to country. One last item. Has anyone ever received a response from "The Orb Merchandising & Information Services" or "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Orb Posse" which are listed at the beginning of the discography? I was hoping to buy a "Orb" record bag, slip mats, metal acetates (I can dream can't I?) and whatever else might be available. Over the past couple of years I've written both a couple of times with no response. That is all..................

A : Yes, but it's nothing to do with the album...ha, ha. No, let's be serious here, I wasn't looking for individual tracks, I just wanted to gather together a real mish-mash of songs. Once again, that meant the Orb fell foul of the stupid BPI rules. If you do a two-Cd album of 'greatest hits' the second CD has to be remixes. Don't ask me why. Most people would probably say that The Orb haven't got two CDs worth of hits anyway ! Q : Did that mean re-recording tracks ? A : Not re-recording exactly. We did a bit of, ahem, sonic tweaking here and there but that was about it. Obviously there were some tracks we had to mess with. I mean, it would have been ridiculous to include the 40-minute mix of Blue Room on there. That would have been a real con. For Assassin we had two 20-minute versions and we edited them down to one and a half minutes, crossfading between the two. One track on the album is only going to be 45 seconds long. Next Q&A tomorrow ! In the last issue of NME, we have two Orb ads. A large one about UF off saying "launch next week". A small one for the Royal Albert Hall concert.

A : We've never really worked like that. When we go into a studio it's usually because we're ready to put together a track and we spend our time working on that track. We don't suddenly shoot off in another direction for a couple of weeks. Having said that, we've just got our own writing room which has caused a slight shift in our working methods. It's funny..when you don't have to pay for studio time, it's a lot easier to mess around with ideas. Wonder why that is ? Q : What sort of set-up have you got in this new writing room then ? A : I keep it very simple. I have two turntables... and a microphone...sorry, I have two turntables and two Vestax DJ mixers. One of the mixers is quite comprehensive. It has a built-in drum machine and built-in sampler. Basically that allows me to do live sampling.

A : I think some of the bad feeling came out on Orbus Terrarum which the British press gave a good kicking. What was funny was that the Americans really picked up on the album. Rolling Stone made it their album of the month. They thought we'd reinvented music. That sort of paved the way for the Chemicals and the Prodigy. To be honest, we didn't want to do the whole big American experience. We were asked to play Madison Square Garden but we refused on principle. Q : What principle ? A : That we'd have to support Depechemode. Q : So how's the new Orb album going ? A : We're hard at work. I've got a feeling in my water about this new album. There's something definitely different happening. It's loads of different styles from drum n bass to African. And Classic. It's a bit difficult to describe but it's definitely not going to be typical Orb tunes. Q: Any regrets over the last 10 years ? A: Regrets ? Naah ! I'm having a wonderful time. Just think, I could have stayed as Killing Joke's roadie for 10 years instead. Imagine having that chiselled on your headstone : "Testing, testing...one, two...testing, testing..."

If you like the Orb, you'll probably like most of the Hillage/Giraudy tracks. They have great collaborators (Derrick May, Laurent Garnier, Youth, LX...) for great tracks. The first album (both US and UK versions) is interesting, they still do SONGS (with lyrics). The second one (777) is essential for the LX/Thrash collaboration. The Fire (beats) and Water (no beats) albums are great too. The Power of 7 album has "Davy's jones locker" with LX. The System Express is a remix album. The Golden Reunion album is cool too. And the 12" are worthwile, especially the one with the LX remix "Mia" (Ultraworld colony mix)... My 10 favorite System 7 tracks are : * Mia (Ultraworld Colony mix) - 12" * Davy's Jones Locker - Power of 7 * Mysterious traveller - Fire * A cool dry place - 777 * Strange quotations - System 7 / 777 (1st album) * Big sky city (Jacob's optical stairway remix) - System Express * Rite of spring - Golden reunion * Women of Ireland (System 7 remix) - Mike Oldfield CD Single * A sprinkling of clouds (belly dance mix) - Gong : You remixed * Hangar 84 - Power of 7 I've only seen them live during a Rachid Taha concert (with LX as a DJ) in Paris two years ago, but I'll definitely try to see them performing as soon as possible.

I also have the Orb remix of "Davy Jones' Locker" and raw tracks of what was eventually to become "Sunburst" on the Orb "Night and Day" bootleg a/k/a "The Visitor". I think any Orb fan would like 777. orbette # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Oct 1998 00:48:35 EDT From: LiquidW@aol.com Subject: Re: (orb) 777 i believe the closest thing to orb (i'm sure people will agree) , is the "beatless" cd of the 2cd set fire and water....i think this is defenitely what you should get for a first albulm of theirs , i'm sure youll like at least one or the other # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ End of orb-digest V2 #114 *************************
