Mo Wax label, kind of experimental..but without the precision sound of warp..tending towards hip hop and dub, DJ Shadow mentioned before..put out some excellent eps as well as his lp. The R&S label has put out some really top-quality techno orientated stuff, CJ Bolland was one of the artists who was on this label who put out some great tunes who I think is now on Orbitals label Internal ? Salt Tank and Pressure of Speech on Internal too. I'm still fond of some of the early stuff that came from Detroit, Model500 (Juan Atkins) has an album called classics, on R&S. (?) I havn't always been able to go into record shops and listen to stuff, and I'm not made of money so I used to go for the compilations first a lot of the time...one of the best I came across in the past few years was the Trance Europe Express compilations on Volume records..you get 4 LP's with god knows how many artists on there...compilations 1 and 2 I can't really fault...oh and you also get nice little books, with small interviews, pictures...(Orbital included too). Beyond records, which I think is now dead but...If you like both Orbital and The Orb this could well be to your liking too. They put out...4 compilations, I think...under the titles of Ambient Dub..vol1..vol2..etc. i hope these are still being distributed, they deserve to be. Again the first 2...I found out about some artists called Higher Intelligence Agency through these 2, who do some very s p a c e d o u t electronic...err..soundscapes, they've done a few LP's and a few projects with other people all very good experimental ambient lp's. In summary some LP's that changed my life (other than Orbital, they didn't change my life..they are my life...!) Here goes...Artificial Intelligence 1..Warp records. Trance Europe Express volume 1...Volume records. Ambient Dub volume 2 on Beyond Records. Model500 - Classics , or possibly Detroit:Emotions Electric on Network records. I'm sure I've missed a whole load of great stuff...like the P.W.O.G. (Psychick Warriors of Gaia) LP...Ov Biosperes and sacred grooves ! (stunning ambient/trance lp) Or even Eon's LP..Void Dweller ! (not ambient at all) But I'm wasting a lot of space and I don't want to clog up the list too much.

I've got it. It's pretty good. > What do you guys think about S. Continuum? > Can someone give any info about them, > about their cd=A6s for instance.....????? Spacetime Continuum is Jonah Sharp. He opened for Orbital on a good chunk of the In Sides tour here in the US (not at any of the shows I saw, unfortunately). His work in the past has been primarily ambient, but he seems to be getting less and less ambient with each release. His first album is called "Sea Biscuit" and it is without a doubt one of the most incredible ambient albums ever released. A classic. His second is called 'Emit Ecaps' and is almost equally as good. It's more upbeat, very jazzy feeling (he used to be a jazz drummer). He uses the best sounding synths of anybody out there, as far as I'm concerned, with the possible exception of Orbital. He also released a CD of remixes of Emit called 'Remit Recaps'. I think it's the weakest of his CD's, mainly since he sort of gave everyone and their brother a go at remixing his songs. Some of them are quite good, and some are definitely lacking.. Hope this helps. - -Morey gandalf@wnc.com good people better rise up together and join hands with one heart and one mind good people better rise up soon # 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 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 May 1998 11:45:07 -0700 From: "morpheus" Subject: (orbital) interesting news Hey I got some interesting news for everyone.

If its Numan you can bet that Howlett's next project will be more toned down (after all, how could ANYONE sing over stuff as volatile as Prodigy's stuff?), more musical and less reliant on big beats. But thats just my guess : ) Of course, if there is a guy named Gary Neuman, forget everything I just said and I'll stick a pacifier in my mouth. # 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 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 May 1998 17:01:08 -0600 From: "Christian, Barry" Subject: (orbital) Date: Tue, 5 May 1998 10:34:00 +0100 Hello music friends, I was wondering if anyone on the lists lives in Lowestoft near Yarmouth could do me a big favour.

I think its really sick that there is a market for something like that. Watching people die is not something I would consider even remotely close to entertainment. ** Keep that attitude, you'll need it later in life when our society gets worse. Face it, our society is starting to fall apart. What we want to see is not the chase, but the kill. Chase scenes cannot satisfy our desires anymore. We want to see the kill. Why else would we watch that ever so long, extremely slow speed OJ Simpson chase? Because we wanted to see The END of it. We like to see the downfall of other humans. Just like in Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, when the mechanical hound is chasing Montag and it's all over live news.. Montag manages to get away. Know what happens next? It essentially switches to a scripted performance.. in the end, they corner an innocent man on the street and he is killed by the Hound.. the news is declaring "Oh look, there's Montag".. the shots are out of focus so even his best friends wouldn't be able to identify him.. The society of Fahrenheit 451 would have been very upset if they didn't get to see the kill. What about our society? Remember a few years ago when they started coming out with those videos of animals attacking animals and we thought it was gross? Then it became videos of animals attacking people. Now it's people getting mangled, dismembered, whatever.. all in the comfort of your living room! It used to be daring for a movie to contain a scene of one person kissing another. What used to be an R rated movie now might be rated PG-13.. Even movies that get rated R in the states are generally AA (adult accompaniment) here in Canada which means you can't see them alone unless you're 14 or older. What are we letting our children watch? Hell.. our society's desensitized to violence (and just about everything else), just admit it. When I was growing up not so long ago, I watched stuff like care bears and and gummi bears and rainbow brite and sesame street.. wait, I still do on occasion. Er.. there was a point. Oh yeah. Now look at what the kids watch. All those super violent power rangers type shows. A certain degree of violence is acceptable.. but I believe childrens' programming should contain morals.. where are the morals in those shows? There isn't any. And since television is raising the children these days.. isn't there something wrong with that? And Matt, if you feel sick about that guy who shot himself on the freeway in LA.... a gurl I know from IRC lives about 10 mintues from there. She got to see the news choppers and all that kinda shit. She actually did go and be sick. They didn't show it on the news here.. at least I didn't see it.. but my mom was saying that they would. I'm glad I didn't see it.

I'm not gonna say this sums it all up, but a big problem (at least here in the US) is this - The contradiction between Politicians/the media saying "We only do what the people want, what they tell us to do" while at the same time convincing the people that they want something other than what's best. > Why are people so stupid? Ever heard the saying "A person is smart, people are stupid"? It means that an individual thinking rationally will more often than not come to the right conclusion. The problem is that humans have something of a herd mentality. The music business is one of the best examples of that. People buy things because they fit a certain style or formula. (But that's true everywhere else, too). You get a large group of people together, even people that disagree will begin to come around. Unfortunately, most people use this mentality to gain a profit, and not to help things. It will work both ways, but I think most people that could use this in a positive way also realize that it's not really right to manipulate people in this manner. > Are people only looking for attention?

Its techno with complex beats and great synth textures. Definately one of my all time favs. He's most recent disc, analogue theatre is pretty good too. The standout track on it is Obsidian.,,,,,Sugar Daddy just annoys the hell out of me.

They have two albums that I am aware of. The first is Mind Fruit. It's the album with "It's a Fine Day" (and we all know about "It's a Fine Day"). It's from '92, right around the same time as the brown album. Guru Mother came out in '94 (i think) and is quite good. I like both albums, but Mind Fruit has more standout songs. Guru Mother is a lot more mature sounding. (If you can call Opus III mature). You can still find the "It's a Fine Day" maxi-single if you look hard enough. It has the original version and a coule of other interesting mixes, plus 2 mixes of 'Evolution Rush', one of which is remixed by Moby. - -Morey # 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 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 May 1998 17:34:01 +0000 From: "Morey Gamble" Subject: Re: (orbital) halcyon. ah HAH! > u juicy bastards! so ther IS a halcyon single eh'? >:P was looking nside > the cover of my diversions ep and it has untitled I, II, and the halcyon > single/or is it ep listed. me want me want.. anyone know where i can order > it? ther's an addy on the inside of this cover.. but being so old dunno (4 > years hehe) You can get it. It was re-issued in '95 or so and that version can still be found. You might have to pay a ggod bit to get it shipped over here from the continent, but it's there. Try IMVS, maybe.

I used to have his latest album "The Analogue Theater". It's a decent album, just not my style. I'd say most of it fits into the 'brain-frying-yet-still-somewhat-melodic' techno category. Most of it was just a little more intense than I generally like, but it's definitely well done. - -Morey gandalf@wnc.com good people better rise up together and join hands with one heart and one mind good people better rise up soon # 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 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 May 1998 17:34:01 +0000 From: "Morey Gamble" Subject: Re: (orbital) more weird shit > again was browing orbital album ar and shit and starting thinking.. > vocals.. are we here and sad but true by Alison goldtrapp.. whats the > story on this girl>? Is she in any groups? She did a song with tricky on 'maxinquaye' (Pumpkin). It's an incredible song. She's also done some other work (pretty low-profile stuff that I can't remember the name of. ask aimee). > what is this girl singing in these two songs? i cant understand a worda? > is it a lang other than english? Is it her just lala'ing.. which i hope From what I've heard, it looks like she just sort of ad-libs, not really singing words, just sounds. I'm sure there are bits that come pretty close to real words, or maybe even are, but I doubt if there's more than a couple of those.. - -Morey gandalf@wnc.com We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. -Oscar Wilde # 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 ------------------------------ End of orbital-digest V2 #72 ****************************
