I read about Aphex Twin and his performance ethic online somewhere. The basic gist of Richard's show is simplicity. Apparently he doesn't think a big schmoozy live set w/visuals, etc. is necessary to enjoy the music. He still does mix live, maybe even construct from samples live, but he does it with as few frills as possible. In his opinion, people come to hear Aphex Twin's music, whether or not he uses eight samplers and five keyboard and strobe banks and live projections in the process. Always off the beaten path, our RDJ :) But still Moby was all up on himself when he toured, and it made him a mega-star... maybe there's something to consider there? ... - KEL # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mehul Parekh I Subject: (orbital) middle of nowhere Date: 01 Apr 1999 14:45:15 -0800 (PST) if anyone wants to advance order the middle of nowhere cd, it is available at www.imvs.com for 13.38 pounds...i think that is about 21 dollars. good luck. === The Mehul mpp001@rocketmail.com mpp001@drake.edu "I hate tests.

Date: 01 Apr 1999 23:13:17 -0800 I'm not fortunate enough to be living in the part of the world that has my second favorite band on tour, but I am fortunate enough to be listening to The Middle Of Nowhere in it's entirety right now, and man oh man oh man oh man is it good! The album sounds like all the descriptions I've read so far - the upbeat energy of Brown with the sophistication of Insides - that about sums it up. After two listens, I don't quite think it is their very best work musically (The Peel Sessions gets my vote for that), but it's just really, really, good. Better than Insides. Many of you on this list will, how do you say, go "mental" over much of it. (I'm an old man, and an old fan, listening to this band for 10 years now...) 1. Way Off (8:00) 2. Spare Parts Express (10:08) 3. Know Where To Run (9:42) 4. I Don't Know You People (7:47) 5. Autumn (5:48) 6. Nothing Left Part 1 (7:49) 7. Nothing Left 2 (8:15) 8. Style (6:53) Joyful, upbeat, a merry-go-round, busy, frantic, funny, it just never lets up... I've been listening to the new Underworld lately too, and I can't help thinking that Underworld is the Beach Boys to Orbital's Beatles (if you can understand that - Orbital is on a higher plane of sophistication musically. And they have that wonderful sense of humor that Underworld rejects). But some of it, to be honest, lacks because it's all been heard before. I swear they've re-used older tracks on Autumn. The whole album is the same rhythms, same sounds, same vocal samples - just mixed into different tracks. But then again, no one can put it all together like the Hartnoll brothers, god bless 'em... And I guess my complaint is true of any band after they've put out a few albums... The album version of Style has a cute prologue that will put a smile on everyone's face. I also have to think that they miss some opportunities to let the music breathe... I wish they would have let some mellow segments stretch out a bit more - it's all a bit manic, not the kind of thing you can really bliss out to - more the kind of music you would clean house to. I hope I haven't sounded too critical here - it's fookin' great to finally have this wonderful CD playing on my stereo! I love it! You all will! And please forgive me, but making mp3's or copies or any of that is an absolute impossibility... I would if I could...

I totally agree that he must have had some sort of formal musical = training to be able to produce records like 'Music Is Rotted One Note'. = When I think about pushing myself to make new music, I could never come = close to anything like that - it seems so complex and unlike anything = else. The man is a legend, as is his brother. As for the bass playing - he's pretty good at that too. I'm sure he = uses a fretless bass for most stuff. The live looped playing on 'Big = Loada' is outstanding - perhaps his best. Quick note to the Orbital bods who don't know much about Tom - track = down 'Big Loada', if you can...I'm sure you'll love it (It's a 7-track = single on Warp in the UK, which might have been released in the US via = Nothing, or someone similar). Also, as Chaos AD, Tom's 'Buzz Caner' album is just the best. It's a = sort of compilation covering all the types of music he does - there's = Aphexy type stuff, a couple of tunes that sound quite like Underworld = and loads of top class full on techno / drill 'n' bass, which sounds = just so fresh and special. Anyway, enough from me on this (not that I've actually answered = anything...). But, if YOU know anything about Tom's past or formal musical background, = do let us know :))) And, Matt, if anyone contacts you direct with some decent info on Tom's = past, rather than through this Orbital list, I'd love to see whatever :) = Ta.

Also, on the french note, look out for names Etienne de Crecy / Super Discount, Alex Gopher, Bob Sinclar (I'd even say Thomas Bangalter alone, but he's in Daft Punk). On a totally different side, if you can stand drum & bass, give Kemistry & Storm's DJ Kicks a try. I've been listening more to that than to my Style singles and new Underworld album.

I live smack in the middle of North Carolina, and I saw orbital 3 times on the various stages of the In Sides tour. I drove 7 hours (each way) to see them the first time, thinking I'd never have the chance again, then 4 months later they played 2 hours away, then the next summer they played 30 minutes away.. And actually the closest show was probably the worst (err, least excellent) of the bunch. I drove 6 hours to see the Orb, and 12 hours to see Paul van Dyk and Richie Hawtin. (Although that was also for Mardi Gras). That Orbital live CD I got from Steve ended up costing me (with shipping and bank fees) almost $50 US. I don't regret a single one of them. It's not a matter of too far or too expensive, rather how badly you want it. DO I wish the stuff was cheaper and all the shows were closer? Sure. It's just a matter of how much it's worth to you.

I love the Saints! I have bought everything I have ever found, which isn't much, about 4 singles and album. No one can seem to tell me any info on them, but I have found a few things. They did release a new single a couple years ago, called OHIO. It was supposedly released as a single, but I have seen or heard of it anywhere. However, I do have a mix of the song OHIO on the Platinum on Black Vol 2 CD. Pretty good song. Also, supposedly, they had made a new CD a few years back, and it was supposed to be released as a 2CD set. But the record company pulled it and made it a 1CD. Then, that got pulled as well. Who knows. Other than that, they are dead as far as I know. But I love them and would love to find out something! I guess their biggest hit was the Mortal Kombat theme song, and then they did OHIO, and after that I lost them. Someone help us out.... Please. Later.

Date: 07 Apr 1999 21:36:20 +-100 Dear All, I'll start by saying how utterly brilliant 'The Middle of Nowhere' is. = I bought it on vinyl yesterday and it is truly way out there on its own. = Any justice - it'll be UK No. 1 this Sunday... Not so sure about the sleeve artwork though, not at all what I was = expecting. Like the 'tracks on the spine thing', kind of. It all seems = a bit bland - so different to the 'In Sides' artwork. I always buy = everything (where possible) on vinyl, firstly cos I love the 'big discs = and proper turntables' thing, but also cos of the bigger artwork you get = on the sleeves - but this, a release I've been waiting for for months, = seems a slight let down, but the music really makes up for it :) Moving on - if any of you aren't quite with it at the moment, please = stop reading now, cos this gets complicated... Right, a couple of weeks ago I bought (or so I thought) one of the 'Lush = 3' UK 12"s in a well known indie shop in London (I didn't have either = part beforehand, so didn't mind which part it was). So, I get it home, give it a listen, start looking at the tracks on the = sleeve and think, that's the Underworld remix version then ('Lush 3-3'), = but the sleeve says it's not on this single, this is the '3-4' and 3-5' = version. So, I look at the catalogue numbers: the disc is LIARX7, or 857237-1, if = you prefer ('3-1' to '3-3'). Printed on the back of the sleeve is = LIAXR7, or 857239.1. So, they are different then?=20 Well, on the front of the sleeve is a little sticker with the = tracklisting for LIARX7 ('3-1' to '3-3'). =20 So, yesterday, I took it back and explained all to a bunch of people who = were still at school when this was released, so had no idea that there = even was two 12"s for the release. Anyway, it ends up with them (about = ten people) telling me that this is the right sleeve for the disc, cos = of the sticker on the front, and basically refusing to give me a refund, = or even look for another *correct* disc, even though the actual printing = *on* the sleeve is for 'Lush 3-4' and '3-5' - they say it's a misprint. = I say bollocks is it. So, has anyone else got either of these 12" singles and if so, can they = tell me what the catalogue numbers are that are printed on the disc, on = the sleeve and on any stickers that may be included, for each part, = please? =20 I'm going to take it back again sometime soonish, either to change it = for the *proper* disc/sleeve or get a refund and try and pick it up = elsewhere. Before you all say look at the discography at the bottom of this page, I = have, and it doesn't include the international catalogue numbers (the = 857... ones) or mention stickers with different track listings. I've = also checked the Loopz discog, and that doesn't mention any track order = differences or stickers on sleeves either. And there's actually a mistake there, so, Steve Loopz, if you're = reading... you've got the first 'Lush 3' 12" down with the same = international cat. no. as the CD (with a '2' at the end, where ther = should be a '1').=20 So, basically, if any of YOU know why there's a LIARX7 sticker on my = LIAXR7 sleeve with a LIARX7 disc, perhaps you could let me know, cos I'm = completely stumped on this. =20 I want to go back to the shop with a clear head so I know what I'm = saying is right. If the single did come out with a Part 1 sticker on a = Part 2 sleeve with a Part 1 disc, then fine, just as long as I = know...and I'll stop hassling the shop.

He was so good at acting really obtuse and dumb. It was hard to tell when he was kidding. Kind of a recluse too (as much as it's possible in residence anyway). But he was into Led Zeplin and not much else. Ah well. Miss that guy. Anyway, what happened on the show? On the Orbital side of things, I was at HMV a couple days ago and went to order the import of the limited edition of Middle of Nowhere. By the time it would get here I would have moved. The domestic is slated for April 20th release. I'm wondering what the difference will be. Different case? Any change in the music?

RDJ just said he used to work down the tin mines in cornwall, and John Peel asked him was it was like. He replied "really hot. most of the miners just used to wear their pants (that's UK pants, i.e. underpants, not trousers...) or some used to just wear belts". Peel seemed to believe him. >I'm wondering what the difference will be. >Different case? Any change in the music? I wouldn't be surpried if you get the six Style tracks on a bonus CD. Seems par for the course for the rest of the world (see Brown album with Peel Sessions added, In Sides with The Box added, Tri Repetae++, etc).

I can get it downtown (I think) but I am waiting until it comes out domesticly. It will be like $10 bucks cheaper, and it's only a ten day wait. I went to HMV to see if they had the import, but they didn't. However, they did have Accelerator by FSOL which I have wanted for quite sometime now but haven't been able to find it. Anyway, I spent the money I had put aside for Orbital on it (don't worry, I will still buy it as soon as I see it) . I also got the Japanese import of Radiccio (via AJ) the original Halcyon (like KFC) is better than the extra tastey crispy (+ on + on). Accelerator is awesome.

There isn't a bad track on it, more than can be said for any of their more recent albums. Not that the rest are at all bad, just not as good as Accelerator. Accelerator is more like "proper" dance music than the rest, hence the reason why fewer people like it.

It was made between Acce;erator (dancey) and Lifeforms (ambient). From what I have heard from the album, it sounded like it was a mix, however, I could be wrong.

I was on the list about a year ago but eventually got cut off by the phone company...I couldn't afford to pay them...must have been down to those Orbital socks and underpants I bought ! - Oh well never mind, life goes on and all that. I'm currently very much into their new album...and singles. I'm doing a rewind a lot on.."New Style" and "Nothing Left" at the moment, "I don't know you people" sounds best LOUD no dought about it...I know because I was bouncing off the walls to that one earlier this week...I can't seem to dance to Orbital I just fly around - not two left feet exactly but more like two left legs and arms, flying around like broken helicopter blades...just as well I never get out the house. I hope to get up to Glastonbury this year and "do some damage" on the dancefloor" so bring some first aid kits if you are going. :-) I've not much else to say at the moment, I like a lot of what you might expect...Orbital ! (what really??) ,Warp Records (Plaid Autechre etc..), some Aphex, FSOL, Meat Beat Manifesto, Beaumont Hannant, Bjork, and a *lot* of the techno/house music from around 88 through to about 92 (I could write pages but I won't). There seems a lot of samey stuff around at the moment, but I try and keep my ears open. I love music the most - and if I could my perfect job would be working in a huge record shop with hardly any customers and a huge pair of... (hmmm....) ..speakers. As it is I spend a lot of my time trying to get computers to work properly, which can be a bit tedious sometimes. I'll most likely pop up and annoy the shit out of you sometime, so I just thought I'd let you know I'm here.

Way Out -> wow. I would recommend listening to out there somewhere before popping this cd in. Way out is a very fun track to listen to imho. almost starts where ots ended off. Spare Parts Express is just all over the place in the beginning, but then in the middle of it, it just changes pace and gets very cool. Know Where To Run I am still getting used to a little. I dont know you people is getting better with every listen. I really like the sample in the beginning. Very cool. Otono has more vocals than I really care for. Maybe if I had heard this before An Fomhair, I might like this first...maybe not more though. Nothing Left 1 & 2 has Allison. I love her voice. I like them overall. It doesn't matter. The beginning of Part 2 sounds like the beginning of OTS Part 2. I love it! Style had me around its stylophonic fingers when it came out, so style now has me as much or more in love with it than before. Overall, I like the album except for the tracks that will require some getting used to. I wouldnt start any non-listener of Orbital off on this album though. Anyone disagree? I think 1 or 2 or maybe even In-Sides would be a much better choice. My only complaint is the length. Geez, I was done before I even knew it. I was very disappointed about that. At the end of the album last night, I was ready for a new album or new single or new tracks. I guess I am un-satifiable. Hey, when you wait 3 years for a great album you want more than just one disc.

I have a very empty feeling. So, I bought another CD today, will listen to it, and then in a couple of days, put Orbital back in. I know I kind of like it at least, but how much I don't know. I never really liked Insides much, and this seems to be the most like Insides than any other album. But, yea, it does sound like one long track except for Style (probably only because I knew style already.) Oh and Steve, it seems no Japan release. Mine is an import (for 35 bucks...) Anyway, HMV is a music store chain just like TOWER. It is bigger/smaller/the same as tower around the world. I don't know which is bigger. But I do want to know what HMV stands for? Anyone know? Finally, I got thi from a friend, who sent it to me from some newsgroup. I was impressed. Maybe you guys will be too. Check you all Later. AJ > > It's pretty much the same as the Old Orbital, music for the fashion parade, > Equal in it's anal retentions and it's banality, Rick Wakeman and Jean > Michelle Jarre reincarnated. you are entitled to your own opinion, but at least say why you dont like orbital, give examples...at least the other poster pointed out psuedo baroque-ness, and ovverly ornate keyboard arrpeggios. throwing around adjectives and 50 cent thesaurus words wont do the trick. orbital is my favorite act on this planet. ive grown with them, ive seen them evolve. they evolved from an interesting, if lsightly above average rave/house, to yes, a more complex and ornate film soundtrack influenced band. the music reaches emotional levels in me that few others do, and the fact that it can do so without lyrics is even more amazing. th ebrothers hartnolls attention to detail(if thats anal retnetive, well then i love it) the interlocking and hocketing of rhythms and melodies is amazing to me. belfast and chime are dance/techno fodder, i dont especially love them, or the green album for that much, but Choice is a stand out. simple meoldy and rhythm arrangements, with trade marked orbital progression of chords. its stomping, and will make anyone move on the floor its the brown album where orbital takes off, taking on more interesting ryhthm arrangements, breakbeats and synth timbres. yes, i do agree with some that this is the best techno album ever made. the Lush series is nothing short of a masterpiece, with those opening synth lead line panning back and forth, the percussive bassline somewhere in between a tom drum and bass, the delicate synth pads, the pounding 4/4 beat that pitch bend lead line thats so recognizable. Impacts breakbeat frenzy starts out fairly harmless, yet immediately enjoyalbe, with some 303 ish squiggly synthlines, but evolves into this dark eco-disaster waiting to happen. Remind is haunting, stomping, almost scarry. Monday is a throw back to the green album but it works, its simple house piano line and orbital chord progressions and then there is Halcyon..what more can be said about this. taking Opus 3s a fine day, reversing it backward, mastering the whole using-voice-as-an -insturment to a science. its beautiful lush synth string opening,the piano line drenched in reverb achingly beautiful, then there is the live version.and either if you love it or hate it, it at lest gets a reaction from you..with the rediculous belinda carlisle adn bon jovi samples, here is a band thats so anal retentive, actually having a sense of humor. the diversions EP gave an interesting look into orbital remixed, with probably techno match made in heaven..Underworlds reinterpretation of Lush. snivilization was certinaly a detour for orbital...a politcal album? few 4/4 beat anthemse. im not the hugest fan of this album, but there are some stand out moments. Of course the stand out here is the amazingly touching Are We Here. We have Ms Goldfrap reprising her role as Orbital chanteuse to maximum potential, once agian, voice as timbre/instrument/texture is mastered again...her beautiful vocal lines, the jungle influenced rhytms,(almost literally jungle/tribal, with it mraibma/vibrphone/bongo like percussion and drums along with drum n bass cut up stop and stutter) and the second part, those electric harpisicord esque chord line, sublimely amazing. the message is very simple, why are we here on earth? no it doesnt answer the question, but makes u think about it then there is insides...for me its their most emoitnal and best offer to date. there is only one song i dont like. the songs range from joy, to sinister,t o sadness and melancholy. not a single 4/4 straight beat on the recod..all breaks, many samples from a live studio drummer. the arrangements and melodie lines are more ornate, rapping themselves around each other. P>E.T.R.O.L seems to be at the brink of madness, and malice. the girl with the sun in here had is certinaly sad, yet engauging. and then there is the box(the 20 minute version of course) James bond gone breakbeat, spy thriller soundtrack for the 90s, i love each part of its mutli part epic...thas what i love about orbital, i liek that the psuedo classical underpinnings, the "multimovement work" the box is a perfect example. and i do love the singing at the end...its supposed to be really silly and over the top, i dont think anyoen should take that seriously. my favorite part is the harpsichord section, what beautiful melody and progression. then there is Dwr Bdr..my faovrite orbital tune of all time. its sped up electro beat, the most intricate hi hat programming ive ever heard, its acid build up in the middle, and the hauntingly beautiful reversed Alison GOldfrap vocal. the song seems so sad for me, the saint seemd like reheated the box, but i loved the sinner..brown album beats, with insides productions and values, with spy thriller vibe in tact. event horizon was like a multi movement Petrol, dark and evil, i love the interaction of micheal kamens live orchestra with the electronics of the Brothers Orbital. thye might have sold out to some, but there remix of Madonnas Bedtime Story is the best remix of hers ever. green album in song structure(similar stucture to choice actually) but with more solid and evolved Snivilization like ways banal is the last word id use to describe orbital. i think backstreet boys and brittany spears is banal. do they have some hat tricks and vices..of course they do, but what doesnt...Windowlicker is so aphex it hurts, with those polygon window/saw 1 chords and melody lines. WHile Underworld has evolved, Beaucoup Fish does have alot of standard Underworld big rhythm arrangements, those sustained synth string chords, piano lines, karls rambling lyrics(though the amazing bruce lee is a great departure) i have heard a few clips of the new orbital album..im not sure what it hink, but you cant judge anything from real audio becuase it sucks too much, so i wil reserve judgement till it comes out fred # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Dan Colquhoun Subject: Re: (orbital) middle of nowhere...in usa :) Date: 14 Apr 1999 12:43:16 -0400 Patrick McGinn wrote: > > >Well, domestic release in Canada is April 20th, it can't be that much > >later in the US. > > Is there any truth to this?

The June 8th release date is taken straight from the Loopz web site, and the e-mail Steve sent out (which apparently no one read.) Of course, I would love to see it released on the 20th, but I just don't think it will be. As an aside, does anyone know what label the US release date is on? I don't remember if anyone mentioned it.

I paid $22 for this import, cheaper because I traded in two rarely listened to CD's to lower the cost from $28 to $22. Althought I am bummed it is not as long at Insides the music still moves me. One question is the import version different from the domestic US? Anyone know for sure? Either way, it was well worth the price. Here's my breakdown: Way Out- sounds like an updated TGWTSIMH, a happy great opening track with way cool swooshes of digital color. Its sounds like an outer space love song. I love the transfer into Spare Parts Express which is currently my favorite. I love the bass line and beat on this one especially after about 5 minutes into it, then the song and album really takes off. Its a cool bouncy gem of a song. The pitch changes are so neurotic it sounds like what a migraine feels like, but in a good way-if that's possible. Know Where to Run does sound like a Drum and Bass tune (as someone aptly described) that never quite lifts off. But it has the definite Orbital feel to it. I Don't Know You People reminds me of that track before "Are We Here" on Sniv- sorry I forget the name. But this track is way better than the Sniv one. Such a grinding guitar driven track. This one will probably take the longest to grow on me. Ontono (or is it Autumn) is too vocally, but I do like her voice, not as much as Alison's though. I like An Fhomhair better than this one, but it is interesting to hear how the Hartnoll brothers modify and change their own tune into a new tweaked version. Still a good listening tune. Nothing Left is my second favorite, althought I do feel it is a tad repetitive even for techno. But I love the electro sounds in this tune. There one bit that sounds like someone hitting a steel cable with a wrench or something. I remember a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I saw this special on how the made the sound effects for Star Wars and to get the sound for laser fire, they did that. Someone recorded the sound of a hammer hitting a steel cable, the ones that hold up telephone poles and they tweaked the sound to get a laser blast. Alison Goldfrapp's voice is so heavenly, I could listen to her forever, she totally makes the song memorable. The bassline on this tunes rocks me all the way to the moon. I read in an interview with Orbital that they felt Nothing Left was the sequal to Out There Somewhere. One of the brothers said, when OTS finishes, he saw a Marlboro type man smoking a cigarrette staring off into the sunset- something like that. And that Nothing Left picks up from that and turns into a more spacey music opera. This one is definitely more spaced out than OTS, but I still love OTS more. One thing I notice and love that Orbital does in their music is they build the momentum and tempo of the music reaches a point where it pauses for like a micro second and jumps two or three levels and propels further. This is really evident in Mock Tudor. Finally to close out the album is Style. As everyone has said so far, this is a bit different version from the singles and I like it more than the single version. This is the only song that to me just doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. Its still a great tune, but it seems like a leftover that had to still make the cut somehow. I love this album and was so glad to see it in my local record store. It was well worth paying the extra money for it and it hasn't left my home or car CD player. Unfortunately my fiance doesn't understand Orbitals music and says-where's the music in that. I tell her the basic definition of music is organized noise and that she needs to really listen to every nuance of Orbital's music. Oh well, I guess you can't win 'em all. Too bad. One final thought. As I was driving to lunch today I was blasting Orbital in my car and I turned into a parking lot and this van was pulling out. On the side of the van was a huge atomic/orbital on its side. Way cool I thought. Anyhoo, that's my $.02, hope I didn't take up too much bandwith. later, Jeff Fanno # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mehul Parekh I Subject: (orbital) in-sides poster Date: 15 Apr 1999 13:55:48 -0700 (PDT) I have gotten a few queries about the poster that I received in the mail.

It was made by Bally, released in 92, designed by 2 big Dr. Who buffs, and is fun to play, especially if you like Dr. Who.

I'm pretty sure it exists on a BBC theme tunes CD, does anybody > know anything about this? There have been several 'official' versions of the Dr Who Theme. The original 1963 Ron Grainer theme was re-recorded in the late seventies but was pretty much the same as the original Radiophonic Workshop theme. However, a more up-to-date sounding electronic version (far inferior in my opinion) was aired in the early eighties until the programme's eventual cancellation. The original is still the best - but check out Dr Pablo & Dub Syndicate's ambient dub reggae version (complete with melodica solo) on the On-U Sound LP 'North Of The River Thames'. There was also a dreadful disco version in about 1978 by a group(?) called Mankind. Hang loose!

Thanx, and sorry for the non-orbital :) Seeing as it's Pete Tong who is the presenter of the essential mixes, it might be worth trying emailing him to ask - he might have a list. His email address is probably something like pete.tong@bbc.co.uk but if you've got any sense you won't trust my guess and you'll try the bbc's website - www.bbc.co.uk is one of their many registered domain names.

In fact I'd like a full tracklist.

It is the newer theme but not the really cacky one they did for the later Dr. Who's with Colin Baker in. This one is from the sort of Tom Baker and Peter Davidson era. Ripped straight from CD, so the quality is top notch. I'll leave it on for a week or so and then remove it. http://www.proweb.co.uk/~mellor1/doctor.mp3 Also, I have a (rather poor quality but listenable) MP3 of the original theme to download at: http://www.proweb.co.uk/~mellor1/drwho.mp3 I heard the Paul Hartnoll DJ Set on Radio 1's Marie-ann Hobbs show - a very eclectic selection from Themes to early house tracks. Interesting to listen to. He also played the full version of the John Cravens Newsround theme tune - as featured on Spare Parts Express on TMON which added a touch of humour to it!

Teebee looks set to remain on the platform he's made for himself. Some 12" releases Droids and Coming of Shadows (yeah, the guy is heavily influenced by Babylon 5, but not in his style) and his newly released album (along with colleague in music-making, K (Kjetil Dale)) Black Science has so far been accepted with good acclaim by Norwegian critics. Now it remains to be seen what the UK critics will say and then what his leg in US will have to say about this music. It's dark, it's atmospheric and it's got some nice futuristic effects (maybe a bit spacy, laser effect). All in all, a very good album and as one who's never been much into d'n'b, this one certainly opened my horizon for getting some more. Even my forgot single of Watching Windows by Roni Size has now been played a bit more. Does anyone else find Aphex Twin's Windowlicker video remotely disgusting? creepy to say the least, cracking track though... :) If any of you read the magazine The Face btw, don't believe everything they say. I've heard they ranked a club (Skansen) in Oslo as the world's second best club at the moment and although such rankings usually mean diddly to me, I'd like to point out that although the resident djs keep dropping highly danceable deep house tracks and never for a moment let you off to catch your breath, the club is too small and cramped really to deserve such a ranking. The atmosphere there is great though, and if you ever go to Oslo (which I really think some of you should do if you like deep house, there's a bustling market for it here at the moment and it's been that way the last two-three years) then you should visit Skansen among other clubs. Again, the DJ mag with the recent Orbital interview has an article on all this stuff about clubbing in Oslo, so read it if your interest is spurred by all my blagging (blabbering, maybe)... ;) Anyway, d'n'b wasn't all I managed to do over the holidays, Biosphere's stuff kept popping up wherever I went and I managed to pick up the last Novelty Waves single with a remix by both LFO and by Bobby Bird, both are very good and certainly according to their reknowned style. Also, I got the japanese import of Best of Biosphere, just a collection of his hits really, but I've been looking for it for a long time. Just a little triumph I have to put in here.. ;) Coming back to Edinburgh, I found a lot of stuff I ordered from Action Records (lots of System 7 12"s and they're all pretty cool), as well as the Borobudur single AJ got for me in Japan, thanks! :) I regret to say that in all this chaos about you all getting MoN and stuff, I've still not managed to get my finger out and buy it. I've got a choice between having it on vinyl or cd, I wonder though, are any of the tracks dj-friendly or good for mixing? opinions? Also, I kept asking people for another d'n'b'ish track just before Easter and somebody suggested Nalin & Kane's Beachball to me, but I've now found it thanks to my flatmate. It was ETA's "Casualsub", and at this moment my playlist is that single and the Black Science album. Lastly, just to get a bit on to the topic of this mail's subject; this Peel gig, is it the replacement gig for the Mass club gig which was cancelled? or will that be held later? i better shut my mouth now...

The "ive seen the future" sample track is an early working of Omen/Open Mind and the "death row" samples is taken from a track called "Death Row USA". Its funny because if you heard the interview before the DJ Set...Miss Hobbs mentioned that Paul had a plastic bag with him and thought it was full of compilation tapes. Paul corrected her and said it was early recordings he had done. He played a few tapes (skipping lots of it) last year in the studio...and he mentioned the "Death Row USA" as the first track they EVER played live.

The Jap has a title and picture and name of ORBITAL all on the innersleave so it shoes through like a normal CD and the track listing is on the back. But it is the same track listing. Anyway, what I really wanted to write about - and STEVE PRICE this is especially to you - I got the GREEN album yesterday. No, I already had it, but this time it is the JAP release. It is called "ORBITAL - ORBITAL" (except written in Japanese) with no "1" like most people call it. Anyway, does anyone have this? The reason I bought it is this. Read this track listing then go look at yours: The Mobius 7.01 Speek Freak 7.17 Oolaa 6.15 Desert Storm 12.06 Fahrenheit 303 8.26 (not 3D3) Steel Cube Idolatry 6.24 High Rise 8.23 Chime Live 5.56 Midnight Live 6.53 Belfast* 8.06 (And some short unlisted track 11 that I don't know the name of) Anyway, it is quite different from the old Green album that I have - and the CD is just a plain silver one like in the old days with a few things written on it in plain text. So, what is the deal with this CD? Oh yea, the Speed Freak is is not MOBY's version, and even though I love MOBY, I am sad to say that I think I like this one better. First time I ever heard it. Finally, last night after getting really angry about going all the way out to a club to see Alex Patterson (ORBs front man) DJ and have the club been shut down and getting real pissed and then right before the las train left find out which club he moved to I got to see (or hear) him DJ live. I like his music he makes better than the music he plays, since it was a lot of D/B, but he did an excellent job getting me to like it. Anyway, Someone tell us about this CD. Later.

For full info then check the NEWS section on the site. Also....the new single release date will be announced shortly. "Nothing Left Part2" will feature numerous remixes by various artists - Schematix has completed his version of the track and will most likely feature on one of the formats.

Thanks Steve for the info you posted about Paul's set, I spent ages searching the web and didn't find anything on it, I'm still interested of course as I only recognised Helter Skelter and Spice (Eon). I do love that record, I recommend Eon's Void Dweller EP to everyone, some LP's I keep going back to and never get tired of - even though it is quite old now. I think Eon are no more but one half carried on with Depth Charge, anyone know if the other half Ian B did anything more ?

The Maya LP had some of my all time favorite records on there, but I haven't delved in this area for a while.

G Spot is pretty old, but the live CD is great. I love his more recent stuff - the last album 'Public Energy No./ 1' is brilliant and the singles from that time are too. His remix for Depeche Mode was about the only decent remix they've had recently. You might find some useful info on Novamute's website.

Many of his albums sound completely different, actually, so beware. His very early stuff is typical 4/4 house stuff, released on plus8. Then he was more trancey-technoy with G-spot (warp records, I think). I would recommend that one, assuming you are into orbitalish-style music (a safe asssumption I guess :) ). Don't know too much about Ginger, the next album, but I think its a bit different than G-spot. His latest stuff, Public energy number 1, is very hard techno, and also a beatless ambient CD on FAX. I can't remember the name of that one, it was very odd so I forgot it. In the vein of the ambient fills on G-Spot, I think, so that is probably a good one. He also did a co-op CD with Mike Paradinas (u-Ziq) on planet Mu, I haven't heard that but the reviews were pretty good. (its on my "to buy" list, for what its worth :) ) Ok, I think I've said enough, feel free to E-mail me offlist if ya want. Later, Aronne. PS, Oh, also, I should add this cool quite from him (one of my favorite quotes because it is a good description of the electronic-music listening process for me :) ) " If I hear something, my brain remembers it as something visual rather than something in sound, I remember sounds by the way they look more than the way they sound, and that works in both ways. If I hear something I remember it by the way it looks, but also when I have an idea it's a graphic idea, it's like a structure or a texture, a shape or a colour or something like that, and I translate that into audio." - Speedy J (Jochem Paap), June 17, 1997 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "[halcyon]" Subject: (orbital) mc 303 Date: 26 Apr 1999 21:51:46 -0600 ill sell you mine, then you would know for sure. :) the drum machine part isnt bad, but you cant tweak very much like the tb303 (which i like a lot better) At about 07:34 PM 4/26/1999 +0000, the gods responsible for e-mail urged you to write: > >Also, I have been offered a Roland MC 303 Groovebox >Anybody got one? > >Are the sounds as good as the TB303 TB909 !!! > >Sorry for the OFF TOPIC!! > # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Natalie" Subject: (orbital) Re: Speedy J (still OFF TOPIC) Date: 27 Apr 1999 10:47:56 +0200 Check out http://www.speedyj.com unofficial Speedy J website.

Actually, Ginger predates G Spot, and is considered one of the breakthrough records on so-called "intelligent dance" music. "Pepper" is a standout track on that LP. He also appeared on the Warp Artificial Intelligence discs with the likes of Autechre. Artistically, I would indeed compare him to Orbital, especially prior to what I now consider to be their "landscape/soundtrack" phase, if you know what I mean. Mike Amsterdam p.s. I saw Orbital at the Paradiso in Amsterdam on April 15th. It was my first time seeing them, and they just rocked the house! I recorded the show, but since I was wearing the mike, there's *lots* and *lots* of parts where I'm hooting or (even worse) "singing" along. :-( I also got to chat with P&P during the sound check, and was quite impressed at how unprententious and open they were. They'll be back in Amsterdam on May 29th, so perhaps I will plug into the mixing desk as was actually offered to me in Paradiso (I am an idiot, and had no cables). # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jon Green Subject: (orbital) Re: Speedy J and a bit of Orbital Date: 28 Apr 1999 17:31:20 +0100 At 11:22 28/04/99 +0200, Michael Lyons wrote: > >Artistically, I would indeed compare him to Orbital, especially prior to what I >now consider to be their "landscape/soundtrack" phase, if you know what I >mean. Especially as his style has also changed, but in the opposite direction. Orbital got real smooth and 'cinematic' while Speedy J got loads harder (if you can get harder than being credited in part with inventing gabba...). But his old stuff definitely sits well with Orbital's older stuff. And his new stuff sits well with the best around. The 3 Phase (Sven Rohrig and Speedy J) 'Snafu Sessions' single is great too (forgot to mention that before). re orbital: Steve, you said Schematix has remixed the new single - have you heard it?

However, I find that they are progressing backwards in quality. I find the songs on In Sides were of greater quality (or maybe it's just because I love that cd so much) Nothing Left and Knowhere to Run are my favourite tracks. I find the beginning to Knowhere to run almost sounds like an Orbital B-Side and then it progresses into an amzing song (5;00 is my favourite). I don't really like I don't Know you People, it's not as melodic as Orbital usually is and in some parts sounds almost noisey. Way out sounds so familiar. I swear it was used for a Sci-Fi movie a couple of years back. And I also like An Fhomhair better than Otono. The packaging is more along the lines of Autechre and not Orbital. But, Overall I do have to say that I love the cd and am very happy that they didn't sell out, however I did't think that they would. cya morpheus peace morpheus -the world can be a simple place if you want it to be- http://members.tripod.com/~morpheus1/home.htm # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Catinosboy@aol.com Subject: Re: (orbital) mon Date: 28 Apr 1999 17:52:35 EDT In a message dated 99-04-28 17:36:03 EDT, morpheus@axionet.com writes: << I got The Middle of Nowhere over the weekend (payed almost $35 cdn for it) >> I just ordered it too for that price- I put a 2-day on it so I could get it by Friday!

Sites in the UK have the equivalent price to mine in pounds. I just checked cdnow, and they have the CD for $17.99, so it must have been a misprint the first time. It has a US license on Ultra records anyway, so you should be able to find it cheaper ($18 is a bit high for a domestic, even if it is 2 CDs) I just got this as well, and I must say I was a bit dissappointed. I think the track by D Product was pretty cool, but on the whole, this compilation was rather dry - doesn't break any new ground, just revisiting the same old two-step rezzy-bass stuff yet again. The most dissappionting stuff were the tracks by Peshay. Some of his previous stuff is just so amazing and fresh sounding (On the Nile, Psychosis, Miles from Home), but his tracks on Planet V are very run-of-the-mill. So, I guess a decent comp, maybe a good one, but not a great one. Maybe I just listen to too much d'n'b to being with, so maybe I'm just getting saturated :) regards, Aronne "in search of more non-two-step d'n'b" Merrelli # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Andy Jackson" Subject: (orbital) John Peel Show Date: 29 Apr 1999 08:44:30 GMT Hello All Did anybody tape this off BBC Radio 1FM on Tuesday?

Date: 30 Apr 1999 15:04:40 PDT To all of the members: It saddens me a great deal to report that Roger Troutman and Zapp Troutman of the group Zapp have both died. I heard this news on Monday morning, about two weeks after I saw them live at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, CA (about ten minutes form my house). It has been said that this was a murder-suicide; apparently Zapp shot Roger to death and then killed himself. This news is practically unknown since everyone has been talking about the Colorado shootings and the Kosovo war on the news; MTV hasn't mentioned anything about the deaths either. Power 106 FM (KPWR) and KACE FM of Los Angeles did report the news though. For those of you who aren't familiar with the group, they have been one of the BIGGEST influences on rap and R&B music, right behind Kraftwerk,Art of Noise,and James Brown. They have been sampled and imitated to DEATH!!!! Listen to most of the new R&B bullshit on the air and you'll probably agree! The group's signature sound is largely a testament to technology; Roger's vocals were sung through a talk-box which created sort of a "robot funk" sound. Their hits include "More Bounce To The Ounce" , "Blow My Thing" , "Computer Love (not to be confused with the Kraftwerk version)", "I Can Make You Dance", "Dance Floor", "Slow & Easy" , and "California Love (which was done with 2Pac)". I am SO glad that I got to see them before this happened; it was quite a spectacle. They are truly the masters of old school (as probably many g's will attest to), and they will be sorely missed !!!!!!!!!!!!

MP *** Orbital, Crystal Method, Lo Fi Allstars Plan Tour Music will be electronic but setting will be rock-like. Contributing Editor Brian Hiatt reports: Electronica veterans Orbital plan to team up with the Lo Fidelity All Stars and techno duo Crystal Method for an all-electronic U.S. tour that Orbital's Phil Hartnoll says will be staged more like a rock concert than a rave. The tour will run for about three weeks in July and will hit venues with capacities of 2,000 to 3,000 people, Hartnoll said Tuesday. Hartnoll said he and Orbital's other member, his brother Paul, have designed the shows with traditional rock staging in mind. "We didn't want to get involved with the rave thing," he said. "We just wanted it to be a gig, where you didn't have to be 16 and you didn't have to stay up all night." "We've got quite a big production [planned]," Hartnoll said. Hartnoll did not specify dates or venues for the tour, and an Orbital publicist said she could not yet officially confirm the tour or provide further details. Orbital -- whose fifth studio album, The Middle of Nowhere, was released in March in the UK and is due in June in the U.S. -- are credited with being the first electronica group in their native England to make a significant impact as a live act. Forming in 1987 and scoring their first UK hit with "Chime" in 1990, they were an early presence in the electronic music scene. In the U.S., the Hartnoll brothers played Woodstock '94 and the 1997 Lollapalooza tour, winning critical praise and garnering a cult following. They collaborated with Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett on "Satan" (RealAudio excerpt), which appeared on the Spawn (1997) soundtrack. The Lo Fidelity Allstars' debut album, How to Operate With a Blown Mind (RealAudio excerpt of title track), has been praised by critics for its mix of live instruments and vocals with hip-hop and dance beats and samples. The Los Angeles electronica duo Crystal Method are best known for their collaboration with the rock band Filter on "(Can't You) Trip Like I Do," from the Spawn soundtrack. The Middle of Nowhere continues Orbital's tradition of what Hartnoll calls "electronic instrumental music" -- exploratory, carefully sculpted, sometimes near-symphonic compositions not necessarily intended for the dance floor. The album's first single, "Style" (RealAudio excerpt), demonstrates the duo's sonic fearlessness. The song's main riffs come from a sample of a buzzy, primitive synthesizer known as a stylophone, which Hartnoll says enjoyed a brief vogue in England in the early '70s. More than four minutes into the track, a female voice pops out of the mix, sings the line "Now I'm aching for you" several times and promptly disappears. The track closes with what sounds like an orchestra of stylophones. Another track, "I Don't Know You People" is built from breakbeats and spoken-word samples, while "Know Where to Run" is a wordless hard-techno workout. The album's opening track, "Way Out," begins with synthesized strings playing a pastoral intro before a big beat-style percussion takes over and wordless female vocals enter the mix. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Matthew Ford/MattCo Technologies Subject: Re: (orbital) Off- Topic : ZAPP (R.I.P.)
