That's kinda funny. FLA are the same people who do Delerium (Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber). If you listen to Semantic Spaces, you'll notice something very, very familiar about track 5 (they've ripped the drum loop and basic track idea straight from towers of dub). I've just recently obtained their previous Intermix CD, Phaze 2 (it's a lot harder to find than delerium). Track 1 or 2 on that album borrows none other than the "squishy" beat from Blue Room. Sadly, none of this was credited, although their most recent delerium cd (karma) apparently has a really big credits list on the insert. crystal lattice On Wed, 16 Dec 1998, darylsd wrote: > anybody hear the Frontline Assembly album with the freaky chameleon on the > cover? not sure if its their latest or not, but anyway, there is a drum > part in one of the songs that is EXACTLY like the drum part of Apollo > XI:Peace in the Middle East.

Isn't that what the DJ/hip hop movement is about. Making it your own, with your own inputs on the original material. I found out just Saturday that the flute from O.O.B.E. was taken from somewhere else. I don't know what track, but I heard it on Music from the Hearts of Space radio show. I'm amazed at how much of the Orb's work is not original. I finding out alot here lately. It just works in their music it seems, that's why it's used. They mask things so well too.

I remember a thread about this not too long ago -- basically an thread on how creative each of the band members were, esp. Patterson. I recall reading an interview with him a few years back where he said point blank that The Orb started out as a DJ project. Most of what makes The Orb so fun IS their production work. There is a lot of other good music out there, but the production work isn't as good. And that can really hurt a track. I also recall from Lazlo's Discography that Ultraworld borrowed heavily from one sample set. I think this goes back to the argument about why techno (and similar genre's -- and by similar I mean similar relative to country western, don't get technical about D&B being different than trance, etc.) is more creative than a lot of "traditional" music where the lyrics are the emphasis. Good techno really shines when mixed up by a good DJ. The production style (the DJ) is what makes it shine. The applies to the Orb.

I'm in agreement with what everyone is saying about the matter. I just wanted to point out that there's a lot more KLF blood/spirit flowing thorugh the music than expected. I thought most of the material on Orb records were original recordings for the longest time. Pomme Fritz changed a few things for me the first week I bought it. So did Orbus. I love the KLF and the JAMs just as much as I like the Orb. So you won't get any arguements from me on the matter of sampling.

I will always make a post to the list when I bring it down, and another when I bring it up. Other possibilities I may consider is limiting the number of simultaneous connections (right now it's set to 50); limiting the number of connections per IP (e.g. user, right now it's unlimited -- I don't excpect this to be abused); and/or throttling the bandwidth.

So far so good for the OAA! It's been up now for 14 hours, 160 logins, and 180 successful downloads. It looks like it's using about 280Kbps of my bandwidth on average. As I consider how I will deal with the undoubtedly increasing bandwidth usage, I think I may just reserve the right to bring the site down for a couple of hours here and there. I'm rarely home because of work, clubbing, and the woman so it will have at lease 90% uptime; or I may just put a throttle on it -- regardless I don't see a reason I will need to bring it down yet. I will always make a post to the list when I bring it down, and another when I bring it up. Other possibilities I may consider is limiting the number of simultaneous connections (right now it's set to 50); limiting the number of connections per IP (e.g. user, right now it's unlimited -- I don't excpect this to be abused); and/or throttling the bandwidth. Don't forget if you've got some out of print remixes that aren't on the site yet, get them uploaded! I could store twice as many MP3's as I have on the server now, so don't be shy -- it would be great to make it as complete as possible. Private questions and comments are welcome.... Data Communications is my profession, but this is the first time I've attempted high-traffic serving on a DSL circuit.

Its like they ripped this one drum track straight from the Orb and put it in their song.... then Phil said: Hmmm, I wonder where the Orb "ripped it off" from in the first place! I could be wrong, but that drum pattern sure sounds to me like one of Youth's trademark drum machine productions. Is he on the Apollo XI track? Anyone ever hear Youth's lp "Heavy Duty Breaks"? (circa 1985) an album of his & other people's music sampled & mixed together. Had drum tracks very similar to the drum track you are referring to: very "wet" & lively. There was a 12" taken from the lp plus I own a bootleg remix 12" that Youth didn't do. (He didn't even know about it untill I showed him a copy).

This is the first time I've been home since I unleashed the OAA, there are currently 22 people connected, and my web surfing performance doesn't seem to be affected! That's good news because it probably means I won't be needing to bring it up and down all the time. It is, however, important for me to keep the OAA exclusive to the list which means I'll be changing the password rather frequently. DSL rocks.

There were enough copies. Bugger. Is my local HMV the only one in the country to not have any copies? Ah well, it should be easy to find on the web now. >I'm glad the orb released LFC again, ignoring the UK chart rules by having >more than three tracks and lasting within 20 minutes - ok, they wont enter >the charts at number one as I would have expected them to LOL. There's no way they would have entered the charts at Number 1, especially considering : a) How few people bought U.F.OFF - It went into the album charts @ #38. b) The original 7" mix wasn't on there, the mix people know best. c) It's a week before Christmas. Too many crap singles about that people buy just because it's Christmas and learn to hate before New Year. d) It was only out on 2x12", no CD. Had they stuck to the CIN rules, even with a CD release I would expect mid to low thirties at the absolute best. > but who cares >about the charts? But, does anyone agree that these new rules by CIN in >this country (UK) are absolutely ridiculous? Errr. Yes. Totally.
