Why can't anyone else > come close? Try Alabama 3 (known as A3 in the US, for reasons probably having to do with the legal might of the country group Alabama). _Exile on Coldharbour Lane_ was one of the best albums of 1997. They do "sweet pretty country acid-house gospel music", and do it well. It sounds great, and is funny as hell. The Jim Jones sample alone is priceless. I really can't recommend this highly enough. In the US, at least, the album didn't do well, and is showing up as a promo and/or cut-out all over the place for a pittance. I generally buy any I see, and give them away to friends; and have generated a bunch of new Alabama 3 fans in the process. (I'm also looking for more material, if anyone has any leads.) BTW, I've been looking for BOC material since it was first mentioned on the list, and recently acquired the Peel Session and Music Has A Right...; really good stuff.

Am I the only one here who likes The Wall? I guess I when I think of The Wall, it is usually more about the movie though. The "Empty Spaces" scene is just incredible. I would recommend the "Saucerful of Pink" album on Cleopatra Records. Lots of bands doing Floyd covers. As a whole it's more in the industrial vein than the Orbular, but there are many moments of pure bliss that many on this list would appriciate. (tracks by Psychic TV, Controlled Bleeding, Melting Euphoria, EXP, Spahn Ranch, Alien Sex Fiend.. others) Also - I've asked this question before but I never got a reply. Anyone know anything about the "Psychoacoustic Soundclash"? I picked up one of their albums recently ("Volume 1" I suppose is the title).. It was advertised on Soleilmoon's site as being "recycled culture from the managers of a band known as "the orb".. I'm really enjoying it.. Do they have any other albums? And what is their actual connection to the Orb? They were not mentioned even in the special thanks notes. (of note to the Brian Eno discussion: this Psychoacoustic Soundclash album has a version of Eno's "Here Come The Warm Jets" on it.. very well done) So where would one find a copy of these so-called "Orb" trance remixes? As they are bootlegs I wouldn't see much of a problem putting them up on the archive - although not being Orb albums might keep them off. Any CD-R traders out there?

Really? Mine has been "Aquarius" for quite some time - if I just want to hear a li'l bit of BOC, that's what I put on, but it's also great to just listen to the album as one extended track. "Yeah, that's right!" "Mmmmmmmorange!" (or is that what the sample says? Porridge? I dunno...help, anyone?) Say, what do people think of the Orb's contribution to the Numan tribute album? It totally destroys the original (I can barely recognize it, even knowing the original song) in brilliant ways...I think it's in waltz time, too? Anyway, I love it. What else lately...oh, their remix of Pop Will Eat Itself's "Home" on the "Two Fingers My Friends!" 2CD is pretty amazing, too. I hadn't listened to that in quite some time, it is definitely growing on me a lot more now.

Does Humor Belong In Music? I think it can add to the appeal, but I wouldn't go as far as to say Zappa was commercially successful. Like him or hate him, he definately changed the course of music history. I think the Orb have too (not as profund of an infuence as Zappa), and when change comes around upsetting the status quo, most everybody stands on he shoulder and lets it pass, until MTV says it's cool, then gets on board.

I recently bought the Music has a right to Children album-very impressive. Lots o' layers, nice beats, and hell, there are ever different 'parts' to some of the songs, somewhat rare in electronic music. It's nice to follow a groove to infinity, but parts are like chapters in a book, taking the listener to new areas that may not have been expected. That's one of the reasons I like the Once More single-different chapters. Speaking of parts in music, it's nice to see someone mention Frank Zappa. His music is incredible and hilarious. The same busy intricacy that the Orb have with beats Zappa did with notes. Civilization Phase 3 is his last album and it's amazing. No obvious beats, but there is a rhythm to the album, though some may disagree. Amazing. An album called Wakajawaka is also recommended (most of his are). Neither of these are electronic in the modern sense of the word but they make for quite a trip, if your interests are not genre specific(unless drug music is your genre...). Orb content? I also recently got an album called Axiom Dub, a compilation by Bill Laswell which contains a good Orb song called Cocksville USA, as well as stuff by the Mad Professor, DJ Spooky, and a few others. Besides the first song on the first disk (of two) I am quite happy with it. Nice smoking music.

In fact, Gilmour just wanted Shine On to be the first side, and Dogs (when it was called "Gotta Be Crazy") and Sheep (when it was called "Raving And Drooling") to be the b-side. I've got a live thing from the British tour of late '74 where they were doing all three as the first set, so I'd imagine at least those two songs were written mid 74. I figure what destroyed that band was following up Dark Side ... seems I read that they were all pretty apathetic toward doing work as fast as they'd been doing before Dark Side. > As far as the trance > remixes go, Meddle is by far the best!!!!!

I know the person who did those (yes it's all one person who did it), and he's on this list and LX had nothing to do with it. The guy who did it just happens to be a major league Orb fan.

The biggest hint that I can give you is that the people who distributed it are some of the first 'leggers, and they went legit, and if you buy any oldies at all you've gotten some of their records, and they're based in NY and CA. # 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: Wed, 21 Apr 1999 20:28:39 -0500 (CDT) From: Joseph Jun Subject: Re: (orb) BOC On Wed, 21 Apr 1999, sCt wrote: > I have one thing to say about Boards of Canada's 'Music Has The Right To > Children' > > Track 4: Telephasic Workshop > > I think this one track is worth the price of the whole CD, and to be honest, > it's the only one I end up listening to.

Not that this *big* recommendation has any dvd either but do check out Coldcut's Let Us Play. A two cd thing too. One with higly original and at times quite spacey and at other times rather bold political contents. Great stuff. Another with videos for four of the tracks and a video-only track. Two mix-coldcut-yourself engines of which the Playtime make for a weird addictive ride (try editing the many classic beat samples or why not put small bits or orb in there into a semi-automatic cut-up of our passion : ) And a whole lot more on that data disc....all very cool. Thumbs up! I saw the Let Us Replay cd the other day and have starting wondering how to find the cash for this one. Should I? Any comments on Replay?

It was on MTV during summer97 - a complete film. It's amazing, you all know what kind of videos FSOL have done. It consists mainly of tracks from "Dead Cities" some of them in different versions, but there was also Oil "Slight of Hand" (another FSOL alias?) and FSOL/Dead Can Dance "Sound Samples" (which basically is what the title states - FSOL mixing samples of DCD). The visual part consists of cuts from all FSOL videos plus some new frames (e.g. "We Have Explosive" has a completely different images than regular one). A must-have for every fan. Duration about 35 mins. I really don't know if it was released officially on tape.
