Adam Shatz wrote an article on the album that's remixing Steve Reich's music (Reich Remixed, Nonesuch records). He mentioned the use of "Electronic Counterpoint" in Little Fluffy Clouds. Also bought Mashing Up Creation compilation (1996 Dub Mission Records http://dubmission.muscat.co.uk ) It credits the Orb and Youth in it's list of musical influences. I thought I heard a sample of the Orb in there somewhere. db # 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: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 12:51:06 -0500 From: "Dan Kelly" Subject: (orb) Sun Electric -TEE Has anyone been able to find Sun Electric's most recent cd single TEE ?

Unfortunately I don't have the time to be there but if the local radio station "radio 1" broadcasts I will definitely record it. I'll let y'all know about the stats. One more word about boards of canada - music has the right to children: (Sean: thanks for mentioning!) I purchased it last Saturday and I'm more than just pleased with it. The more I listen to it the better it gets - just like the beloved Orb. Y'all should listen to this fine piece of music!

I have two sealed copies of Orb Peel Sessions 1 that I would like to trade (individually) for a similar semi-rare item with anyone looking for this CD. Please reply privately. Thanks. My .02 on Boards of Canada (since I just picked them up and everyone seems to have an opinion): I think they're pretty good, reminds me of a cross between Aphex Twin (Ambient Works), Kraftwerk, and Massive Attack (musically); but I wouldn't call it a CD I can listen to from start to finish on a regular basis. Oh, and the "Peel Session" CD is worth every penny. I also found an interesting item at Tower Records of all places: Various Artists Sally's Photographic Memory "A collection of photographs spanning Sally Harding's commissioned and spontaneous works from 1992 to 1995 coupled with 2 CD's of tracks, many written and recorded for her, donated by some of Sally's friends."

I just got back from home in Cambridge MA, and I thought I might share with you some of my purchases. :) I found a copy of the U.F.Orb double (which means I can now trade the blue room promo disc, as I have an extra copy, if anyone has offers). I also picked up a copy of the first Fireman cd, the strawberries, something something else one. I really like it, but I feel like all of the tracks are kinda similar, like same beat similar melodies. Like variations on a theme almost. Is "rushes" also like this? I managed to get a copy of the non-promo 12" of the new LFC remixes. I had my hands on a copy of the second peel sessions on VINYL, but I mentioned when I was buying it that I was going to auction to people on this list and the woman who was working there flipped out, called me some names, and yanked the record away from me, and threw me out of the store. Pretty wierd. So, it's still there if anyone wants a copy. It's still sealed too. :) Anyone who lives in the Boston area, take the red line to central square, the store is called "Mars Records" it's on Mass Ave, on the left hand side of the street as you walk towards harvard Sq (away from boston). There was also a copy of orblivion on vinyl if any of you is interested.

Okay, usually bootlegs are produced by some kind of record label that has access to real CD writting equipment and printers and whatnot and so forth. To my knowledge, most (if not all) orb bootlegs are no longer being made except in CD-R format. Whether or not CD-R copies of bootlegs are "legitimate" is a tough question. It depends on the way you define legitimate. The problem that most people have on this list (I believe) with CD-R copies of bootlegs is that 1) Record stores have an annoying tendancy to charge as much for a CD-R copy of a bootleg than for the original bootleg itself. This is problematic for several reasons: a) CD-R's are cheap, and anyone could simply download the artwork and the appropriate MP3's and make a CD-R themselves. b) Nobody wants to pay $20-30 for something that they could normally obtain for like 2 and c) Most places don't care enough to bother to get 80 min CD-R's and often portions of songs or entire tracks are missing from CD-R bootlegs. 2) The idea of buying something and getting a cheap reproduction bothers people. I personally have no problems being sold a CD-R as long as I know that that's what it is beforehand and have decided that I'm willing to pay for a reproduction. Hope this helps! # 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: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 17:41:17 -0800 (PST) From: Gavin Miller Subject: Re: (orb) CD-R Bootlegs - ---"Benjamin L.

Bootleg - a recording that is unliscensed by an artist's record label or the artists themselves. Typical bootleg material is Live recordings made with personal recording equipment or copied from radio broadcast, out of print b-sides/remixes, demo recordings, or other related media related to an artist that is usually inferior to liscensed material. I think the bifggest problem with cdr bootlegs is 1) No way to tell how many have been produced (this can affect collectability.) 2) no resasle value. Good luck trying to sell one of these to Disc Go Round- if they give you $3 than you're doing pretty good. Gavin _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

It will be released in the not-too-distant future. I was in London about five or six years ago, and somebody said, "Have you heard [The Orb's] "Little Fluffy Clouds?" I said, "What's that?" and he gave me the CD, and I heard my Electric Counterpoint in there. I began to realize that in other instances groups have either taken pieces of mine or obviously listened to their procedures. I think that's great! I mean, I'm fourteen years old, I'm at Birdland, I'm listening to Kenny Clarke, and then I'm on-stage at Queen Elizabeth Hall and there's Eno, and later when I was in Berlin doing Music For 18 Musicians, there was David Bowie, and now there's these Techno guys. I mean, it's a two-way street. It's that back and forth. Bach was doing the dance suite during the Baroque period. What are dance suites? They came out of dances! They didn't fall from the Moon! And that was the way it was. Stravinsky used Folk Music! Bartok's music life was at one with collecting Folk songs. So, if you like, this is a restoration of normalcy after this weird period. # 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 #180 *************************
