Interesting topic - informative for orb amateur remixers. Miles away from the Orb, I know, but does the book have any explanation for two strange unconscious perceptual phenomena that are always happening to me? 1) The awareness that one has that someone is watching them.

Actually understanding the easy perceptual phenomena, like how colors are perceived in the brain, or how sound is perceived and how language is perceived differently (because we can perceive language at a much faster rate than we can sound) are the things that people are currently into studying. Studying those hard things like the perceptual oddities that you note below is really out of the picture until we get the easy stuff down. You can't learn to play an arpeggio on a violin until you know how to finger each individual note correctly, y'know. > 1) The awareness that one has that someone is watching them. Stare at > someone for a while and they will start to look around until they find who is > watching them. This is one I've always wondered about... I feel it too. Some people are more sensitive than others. I'm almost certain that it's an instinct left from our days as vulnerable herbivores on the African veldt, mostly because we feel this from other animals as well as humans. Just the other morning I went outside in near darkness to warm up the car, and while I was unlocking the door I suddenly felt something strange, so I turned around and there was a cat sitting quietly on the top of the fence looking at me. He'd been completely motionless and I was starting a car so I can't say that it was sound that got my attention. I didn't see him because my back was turned. So... ? > 2) The ability (perhaps coincidence) to think of someone, then the next > moment they telephone you. This has to be related to the other. If I ever hear anything good about neurological reasoning for such perceptional oddities then I won't hesitate to post to the list. I think we'd all enjoy hearing about altered states of perception :). NP: Anthology - AHEGPBTRFTCOTU 'james - -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

Hello all. Since Juno's booking agent failed to schedule a Chicago date on this tour, the next closest gigs to here were Pittsburgh PA, or Englewood, CO (south side of Denver). I opted to go to the latter, for I have friends in Boulder I could visit. The show was held at the Gothic Theater (approx capacity 700), doors opening @ 7:00 pm. I showed up around 7:20, and LX was already spinning. Very few people were there at the beginning, but it filled up by the time Juno hit the stage at 9:00. LX's set was mostly reggae dub, the first highlight being Blue Room mixed into The Creator. Towards the end of his first set, the beats picked up and became more jungle/D n'B styled. He also mixed in Way Out West's "The Gift", Underworld's "Cowgirl", a few other tracks I recgnized from the Chicago Smartbar set, a Kraftwerk track, and finished his set with AHEGPB. Immediately following, Juno Reactor with Amampondo took the stage, with LX lending a hand with his djing a few songs in. The Juno set was amazing, and was my first real exposure to them. They played God is God, another song I recognized from Amp a few years back, and the current single from Shango. They played for 90 mins total. LX was very animated during Juno's set, adding LX style samples and effects, jumping and dancing like I've never seen him do before. Then after Juno exited the stage, LX came back out and spun another set. This was a very upbeat set, including a remix of LFC blended into Once More, like he did for the Beta Lounge set. Towards the end, he played some folky giutar instrumental stuff which caused the crowd to chill out, then finishing with a hard house track. I was blown away by both Juno and LX's djing, for LX seemed dead on tonight. Afterwords LX and Ben Wattkins came out onto the floor and chatted with the crowd, and I got a few questions in... like "Why arent you coming to Chicago?!" LX's reply was "GO ask him", pointing to Ben, so I did. "Because our agent's a dick. How can we not play Chicago? It doesn't seem right to me either". Ben told me Juno will be back in April, hitting the midwest then. I also told them I drove 16 hours (one way) to see them... Well worth it. And for those who are curious... Yes I got it all on tape, 4 hours total. I'll be making them into cds, but it'll take time for I'm REALLY busy now. REALLY RELLY busy.

"Naked" sample coincidence confirmed Hello Orbies, Reading through the backlog of emails, I remember somebody saying they gave LX a copy of their 12" that had samples of David Thewlis (sp?) from the movie "Naked" at the Orlando MBM gig, a year before Orblivion was released... Anyways, looking into the matter I'm leaning towards the coincidence factor - The date of the show where the 12" was submitted to LX was: Meat Beat Manifesto/Loop Guru/DJ LX Paterson @ Embassy Music Hall, Orlando Florida September 10, 1996 http://www.digitalchemist.com/mbm/flyers/13.shtml Whereas a few months earlier the Orb played the Sonoria Festival, Parco Acquatico, Milano on June 29, 1996. During their set, (as far as I know) they did not play S.A.L.T., but they did play Delta MK II which had several samples of David Thewlis's rant from "Naked" mixed in throughout the song. I have this version of Delta MK II on tape. Just thought I should share my finding. Gavin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.

But I have known people who have said "So-and-so is about to call me." scant seconds before that person calls them, and who do this a bit more often than could be accounted for by pure chance. Once or twice in a year is coincidence, but once or twice per week isn't. And there's no rational explanation for it. And no rational way to study it because we simply don't know enough about humans to know what to look for and how to interpret what we find. > If you think otherwise, i'd love to hear your explanation for what > exactly is happening?! Damned if I know. And I'll probably never know. This is one of those phenomena that can't be rationally explained without intimate knowledge of the human body on a scale that we just don't have the technology to comprehend. Did I mention that there's a fairly strong conjecture that the human nervous system uses quantum mechanical effects for computation? This means that we may never be able to understand exactly how the brain processes information because it's a quantum computer... 'james - -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

If you think otherwise, > i'd love to hear your explanation for what exactly is happening?! ===>I agree 100%. It's amazing to me that even in this day and age, people still actually *believe* in psychic phenomenon. 100% of all supposed psychic/paranormal phenomenon can be attributed to primarily three things: 1.) hoaxes (e.g., crop circles, Loch Ness Monster, sasquatch, et. al); 2.) misperception/wild imaginations (e.g., ghosts, UFOs, et. al); and 3.) coincidence (e.g., thinking of a song, turning the radio on, and "Wow! It's playing right now!"). James "The Amazing" Randi (a professional magician who is in the same camp as Penn & Teller) spends a great deal of his time debunking these myths. He established (sometime in the 1970s) a reward of $10,000 US to ANYONE who could prove that he or she possesses genuine psychic phenomenon. To this date, no one has claimed the prize. As an hysterically funny aside, Uri Geller (I think that's his name) has sued Randi--thus far unsuccessfully--several times for defamation of character, because Randi called Geller a fake to his face on the Tonight Show when Johnny Carson still hosted it. James Randi basically duplicated the exact same "feat" that Geller performed--only difference was, Randi assured the audience that it was NOT psychokinesis. (Geller, if you don't already know, is the guy who supposedly bends spoons just by thinking about it. As Dr. Evil would say: "Riiiiiiiight.") ;-) There are many unexplained things that still exist in the world today--for example, how Christina Agorilla (or whatever the hell her name is) can outsell the Orb--yet none of this is due to paranormal phenomona.

All together now: The Orb had nothing to do with the Pink Floyd "Trance" mixes. Ever. It's like saying that Boy George or Elvis did all of the KLF's ambient material, simply because they are sampled on Chill Out. ;) This *is* mentioned in the discography, right? I was looking for an Orb FAQ to point to, but couldn't find it...isn't there one?

Although, it is mostly because of our lack of > understanding of the world around us. Speaking as a Discordian, I agree with you, BUT I think that we still lack a fundamental understanding of the life cycle of brightly colored machine tools when exposed to the powerful stressor of the day-glo giraffe. I don't think we can understand anything until we understand ourselves. Until we understand our perception, by which we measure the rest of the universe. Until then everything will be subjectively subjective, instead of objectively subjective. The difference is of course inscrutable. Just like that man you saw at Taco Bell a week ago who very carefully picked all of the bean skins out of his bean and cheese burrito, and then stared intently at his left shoe while he ate. I think he was probably trying to qualitatively assess the mechanism of his self-awareness, but he might have just been meditating on the metapattern of abstract patterns in nature. > Like the Saturday Night Live skit with Steve Martin as a doctor in the > middle ages: "Why, just 50 years ago we would have said this was > attributed to an evil spell, but now we know it is a dwarf living > inside your body that's causing your sickness" And now we know that it's actually a manifestation of Xibo, the evil net.god of paranoid schizophrenia who is causing you to think about investment strategies, public opinion polls, and the evil Deros from inside the Hollow Earth. > fuck all that science shit though, I'm still trying to figure out how they > made "Orbus Terrarum" Very carefully? :) 'james - -- James A.

It's also a perfect way to keep out that undesirable electromagnetic radiation, if your screen door is made of copper and completely surrounds your house.

You would enjoy a performance artist I saw at last years Burning Man Festival. He danced on stage in a grounded faraday cage suit and gauntlets. While he danced high voltage sparks leapt to him from this massive Tesla coil in the center of the stage. Amazing stuff. B) Back to unproven phenomena. My sister attended a beginners "dowsers evening class". By the end of the course just about everyone there (blindfolded) could locate buried water pipes, metal boxes, etc. All with only the aid of a simple divining rod. How can this be explained? Electromagnetic resonance? C) Its really strange how Cydonia has grown on me, after all this time. At first listening I was disappointed, now it's great - another stange unexplained phenomena. bill brooks np: F. the Orb - remix CD # 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: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 16:44:25 -0800 (PST) From: Basscadet@webtv.net Subject: RE: (orb) Re: Zen and the art of yet to be proven phenomena An interesting thread, about which I know very little ...but I was wondering if anyone else has seen the show "Crossing over with John Edward" on Sci-Fi channel?
