According to the people at Dutch record shop Velvet in Rotterdam they start selling the official Cydonia today? They told me yesterday and they already cut it off from the so called 'expected list' in the shop. Can't believe it because Island/Mercury still haven't sent out finished copies to the press. I'll give them a call when they open this morning and let you know if they already have Cydonia for sale right now.

Yet, if you don't buy a promo version (one stamped such) then there's not exactly a 'not for resale' statement, which implies that it could be resold ad nauseum. Nevertheless, the artist gets screwed outta royalties from reselling anyway. And they don't get paid royalties on promos regardless. So unless yer buying brand new....stifle, cause it ain't that different. - --T (in absurdland) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com # 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, 16 Feb 2001 10:28:11 +0000 (GMT) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Smiley?= Subject: (orb) Cydonia website the cydonia website is still not up yet, but there has been a change: http://www.orbcydonia.com should be 'live' soon... - --- Smiley ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I don't think any of the record shops know what the hell is going on.... I blame Island - I either think they aren't bothered or want to not sell anything for some twisted reason. I've seen hardly anything in the press about the single or LP, and you'd think that you'd see some sort of poster SOMEwhere...shit I rememeber seeing posters in the subways for the Orb in the early 80's. My local record shop [independant BTW]are generally clued up..I went in and ask for Once More on all formats...I was told it wasn't out, and politely pointed out the sales bloke that it is...his boss standing behind him pipes up "the orb? as in Fluffy clouds...I thought they had split up...." says it all really. I really think Island have fucked up on this one.

However, despite the otherworldly, exploratory sounds implied, Cydonia breaks little new ground. A vast majority of the tracks on Cydonia launch safely from the base camp of sample-heavy dub and Brian Eno-inspired ambience from which Orb's music since 1989 has been developed. Tracks vary in velocity and originality, though almost all are competent. "Plum Island," for instance, is prime material for the intro to a Massive Attack tune, while "Thursday's Keeper" is the only track close to the invigorating tempo of Orblivion's "Toxygene," though without the engaging melodic clamor. Dissonance is at a minimum on Cydonia, and the dread of the unknown only surfaces on the standout centerpiece "A Mile Long Lump of Lump," the only song that slowly pulses like a Pink Floyd album (one of Paterson's strongest influences). Many track lengths here stay closer to a more pop-friendly four or five minutes, save for the album closer, "Terminus," a return to freeform ambient house exploration true to the Orb's origins. Recently, frontman Dr. Alex Paterson took to the road, riding the wheels of steel as the opening DJ on the Juno Reactor tour. Paterson's set, for the most part, consisted of somewhat jaggedly mixed classic tracks from the early to mid-'90s. Cydonia conjures a similar sense of scattered nostalgia. The huge, ever-growing pulsating brain behind the Orb now throbs a bit more demurely, but it still has a heart, albeit beating for '93. - -> rachel Migoto - Marvelous New Media Design http://www.migoto.com 415.355.0587 # 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: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 20:50:22 EST From: Ovation15@aol.com Subject: (orb) once more 12" i got the 12" today (12 is 767/562 969-1). the cover is cool. is there 2 versions of the 12"? i know there is 2 diff CDs. gemini # 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: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 20:21:15 -0700 From: "Jeff Stratton" Subject: RE: (orb) once more 12" supposedly there is another to be released within the week. does anyone have any kind of resource to obtain the promo's?
