Well I haven't heard anything other than Lost and Found, In Flux and Endtroducing, but I'd say they more or less fits in with that trip hop label (in the sense that it's hip hop based with trippy edges). I wouldn't call anything I like acid jazz, for fear of ridicule. The term conjures up horrible images of Jamiroquai and the like. Shadow's certainly not acid jazz, he probably only gets associated with it because Mo Wax used to be an acid jazz label.

In choosing these three though I had to pass up a goodly number of other tunes I was after. Can anyone send me advice on which of these should be next on my list? Send privately if you don't want to spam the list... "Dirty Epic/Cowgirl" by Underworld Love both these songs on dubno, what versions are on this? And what about their early song rez? "WAP100 CD: We Are Reasonable People" All the warp artists on this one, lots I haven't heard songs from yet. Would this be a good first buy? "I Care Because You Do" Aphex Twin "Lifeforms Paths 1-7" Future Sound Of London "Consumed" by Plastikman "Blue Lines" by Massive Attack Thanks to those who help out!

I bought it 3 different times and returned it each time because it wasn't cut right and wouldn't play in my car without skipping. I have Gorgeous by 808 State and I love, but if that greatest hits album of theirs is any idea of what the rest o their music sounds like, I would have to pass. Gergeous was better than that 808:88:98 CD by far. But, I will still give them a chance. As for the I Care Because You Do by Aphex, it sucks as well. In my opinion it is the worst album of his and I have heard almost everysingle one. If you don't have AFX, don't start with that one. Ambient 1 or 2 or RDJ are easy to find and very good. Later.

Youre the first I know to say that. I personally think that this is even better than Richard D. James album. It has a lot more substance to it while the RDJ album seemed like a compilation of tracks he had lying around the house. Dont get me wrong, I love the RDJ album, but I listen to I Care Because... alot more often. I mean, how care you go a month with out hearing "Come On You Slags!" ? .MatthewFord.

Whoa. :) I disagree 100%, I think I Care Because You Do is by far his best work... Ambient 2 is pretty amazing but its so weird, really, that you have to be in a certain mood to listen to it. But I'm always in the mood to listen to ICBYD. IMHO, RDJ album is rather crappy, actually. There are quite a few good tracks on that, but they only last for 2-3 minutes which I find just irritating - you get a nice groove or melody only to have it taken away before you can really enjoy it :) I always thought that at some point between ICBYD and RDJ his lost his attention span. But, again this is just IMHO :) so I guess the moral of the story is that you should always try to listen to stuff first, because everyone likes something different :) Regards, -Aronne # 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: Sat, 22 Aug 1998 13:03:18 +0100 From: Jon Green Subject: (orbital) another non-orbital post At 22:17 20/08/98 -0400, Kel wrote: >"Dirty Epic/Cowgirl" by Underworld Love both these songs on dubno, what >versions are on this? And what about their early song rez? Rez is wonderful. Imagine Cowgirl with a different melody and no vocals. And don't tell me the vocals make Cowgirl what it is - after hearing Rez you won't think that anymore. There are two more mixes of Cowgirl, one of which is long and repetitive and the other's shorter and quite frankly sounds bugger all like Cowgirl to me. Actually the 'albuim version' on there isn't really the album version - it's the orginal single version. Hardly any difference but I'm in a petty mood today. The original 'Dirty' is great, 'Dirty Guitar' is better, and you know Dirty Epic off dubno. I think it's a better CD than dubno (heresy, I know), mostly 'cos it's got Rez on it. >"WAP100 CD: We Are Reasonable People" All the warp artists on this one, >lots I haven't heard songs from yet. Would this be a good first buy? Gives you an idea of what the bands are up to, though the Autechre and Boards Of Canada tracks sound to me like leftovers that weren't good enough for the albums, and the AFX/Squarepusher is far tamer than I'd've expected. The rest of the tracks are all good, so I'd say it's worth buying. >"I Care Because You Do" Aphex Twin I've never bought one of his albums (Except the Knob Twiddlers one) because I used to be wary of his quality control and nowadays I'm just not paying 12 quid for a half-hour CD. >"Lifeforms Paths 1-7" Future Sound Of London Excellent. Very nearly as good as Cascade, and better than most of what's on the Lifeforms album. >"Consumed" by Plastikman Excellent too, but very dark and minimal. And I prefer his 'Concept 1' CDs (which are even more minimal). If you like minimal stuff, you should like this, but beware! >"Blue Lines" by Massive Attack I only like 'Unfinished Sympathy' and 'Safe from harm', both of which were singles. Everyone else says it's a wonderful album though.
