The cover says : Recorded by J.Cauty at Glamcentral UK Star Spangled banner performed by the league of orphans junior choir and brass band Additional vocals by the Red Army Choir (courtesy of KLF communications 1993) Special Fx and additional hardware supplied by Advanced Acoustic Armaments The cd single has three tracks : the original, the Jimmy remix, the Danny Saber remix plus a screen saver but only for PC. Boo ! Well, I listened to it twice with my headphones, and I'm totally deaf now... It's not an ambient remix AT ALL. I liked the first part, but the second part with the SFx are too much hardcore for me :) I told the list about this remix because Jimmy created the Orb with Lx, and is working right now with Andy, it seems, according to Smiley.

A bit off-topic, but what are others' opinions of Loop Guru and Pressure of Speech? I picked up a Loop Guru cd5 promo last year--it has the wonderful "Yayli" (Depthford Monkey Chant Mix, or something like that), along with four other tracks.... I forget the title of the cd5.... Oh! I remember--it's called "Sheikh".... Also, I picked up a Pressure of Speech full-length cd a little while back.... State of the Art was the title, I believe. I think it's out-of-print.... Actually, the all-music guide DOES linke PoS to the Orb. Listen: Pressure of Speech was formed in 1993 by Mickey Mann, "...along with partners DJ Stika...and Luke Losey (a lighting engineer for the KLF, the Orb, and curve, among others)." 7 degrees, anyone? I'm surprised I'd never heard either of these groups mentioned before--both are featured on the 3cd The Serious Road Trip, which, as far as I know, was the first cd to feature the Orb's Plateau (of Normality), a year BEFORE the Orbus Terrarum release.... A good cd set, if you can find it, by-the-way; some good stuff on it.... Also, about Loop Guru.... Isn't a "Yayli" the equivalent of U.S./Canada's sasquatch, and the Tibetan yeti? And isn't a loupgaru a werewolf? Later!

(It has the two tracks you mentioned, Vince.) They have a really nice organic sound. Some strong indian influences (India indian) with the drums and some of the chanting. (The chants sound remarkably like a prayer I've heard before.) Highly recommended.

Is this part of the = > interview on the Flying Cowboys disc? Yes, this section is also present. Given what's been said on the list lately, I'm more inclined to accept that this interview _is_ from Reading Rainbow. To my ears, it really doesn't sound like Levar, except in brief passages, but it _could_ be him. And the list-member who said she _definately_ recalls showing this episode to a class seems to confirm that a Reading Rainbow interview= _does_ exist. It could be that the record label got permission to use the audio from the interview in a Promo package that was only intended to have limited distribution. The interview is fairly broad-ranging, but does manage to spend about half it's length on questions directly appropos the album, so this seemed to suggest to me that it was specially made for the Promo. But, as it was the first album she had recorded in many years, perhaps this is also consistant with a Reading Rainbow interview. Some of the questions (particularly the Sky and Horse questions) are a little bit out in left field for a record label interviewer, but quite consistent with Reading Rainbow. Since it was me who declared Geordi dead (at least as far as being the interviewer), I guess I should recant, since I'm no longer so certain. grant.. # 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: Thu, 4 Mar 1999 10:06:26 -0800 From: neptune@slip.net Subject: Re: (orb) modulations Hey Kids! I saw Modulations a week or two ago, and was also surprised (although prepared, thanks to warninds from list members) about the absence of Alex & Co. (esp KLF) from the film. However, in its defense, I don't think the film was trying to be *THE* definitive history, or complete, or whatever, but just part of the greater whole. I'm inclined to assume that they interviewed whomever they could get ahold of (and they did have quite the range of folks, too!) Perhaps its an open invitation to pick up where they left off? IMHO, the coolest part about that film was finally having faces (and glimpses into people's personalities) to connect to the music I have become so familiar with... Well worth watching on many levels!
