I'm not trying to "win" anything. I was making a joke...if you read what I said..."(I'm sorry, I don't mean to be QUITE that much of an asshole, but that one was too easy)." I.E. I was not seriously saying that my opinion of you is that you are an idiot. I really don't care if I change your opinion or anyone else's...I think your opinion that REM's songs all sound the same is unusually outlandish, so I am commenting on that fact. >i am honest: they do sound the same to me. >so according to you i am an idiot...so be it. Well, I must say that it sounds as though you have listened to more than the recent singles, so you do have some basis for what you are talking about, so I retract my idiot statement. If you had made that statement without any knowledge of REM's long career, I would say you were an idiot or at least ignorant, but since you can actually compare the old stuff to the new stuff I would have to say that your opinion is valid. Although I still see no basis for it...but whatever. >but anyone who also mentions >the "counting crows" and "live" as influential bands has got to be kidding. I never said that at all. I said "quality" bands not "influential". While I might argue that Live is influential (mostly because of the lyrics) I would not argue the same for Counting crows. I would say that both are quality bands however. - ------------------------------------------------ dco2393@rit.edu http://www.rit.edu/~dco2393 Never trust a man in a blue trenchcoat Never drive a car when you're dead -Tom Waits # 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: Thu, 05 Nov 1998 17:21:24 -0500 From: The DOCtor Subject: (orbital) Orbital discs - gemm.com 2 Questions (at last I have something non-stipe related to talk about) On gemm.com under the orbital stuff they have one disc called "2+PEEL SESSIONS"...i.e. Orbital 2 plus another disc of the "peel sessions".

Well I've got the Peel Session CD and it's great, but half of it's on Diversions, which is probably better value. But then that sample about nuclear something or other on Attached makes it better than the album version. Of course if you're a "real fan", you'll buy it anyway ;-) >Also, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who recomended DJ Krush when >I asked for recs for people that were similar to DJ Shadow.

In case anyone wanted >anything else like Shadow, I'd recomend this album But let's face it, 'Lost and Found' is better than anything I've ever heard by Krush (though he's pretty damn good). In fact, 'Lost and Found' is the greatest hip-hop related track I've ever heard, and anyone who disagrees is either "an idiot" or has heard something I haven't.

Don't remember it on that mix, but my Dad used to have one, so I know what the thing sounds like. As far as 'Go' goes, the original Woodtick mix is the one (a true rave classic for those of you old enough to remember), and the Jam and Spoon mix a close second. At 13:09 03/11/98 +0000, Matthew J.

Hey you guys (and gals), I was taking a shower a couple nights ago when a very interesting idea hit me. It's funny how the best ideas always come in the shower... er, but anyway, what I figured was to pull a little blitz on the All-Music Guide. For those of you who don't know, the All-Music Guide is probably the single best-selling compendium of artists and albums in the US. It's also my dad's Music Bible for looking up information about his gloopy oldies tunes. We've got a couple of these big-ass books here at home, and even though they're back from like 93, they still tip the hat to Orbital, the Orb, Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, Global Communication, Black Dog, and the like. So on their website (http://www.allmusic.com) they've got even more info about techno, but not enough about bootlegs. I figure that if they have a listing for bootlegs it might as well be filled, but I turned in a couple bootleg entries to the AMG staff with no response. The point I'm gradually coming to is, what do you people think about trying to get one of Loopz' bootlegs immortalized in this gargantuan book? This would definitely be the way to put the man in the books of history, if you get my drift. I was thinking specifically of anyone on this list who wants Loopz to get his piece in the amg should go there and fill out an "Add Information" form for the Past/Live disc or some other of Loopz' venerable bootlegs. If enough people go to nag them about one or two bootlegs we'll get 'em to stick an entry under Orbital. Who knows with some luck it may even make the print edition!! So whoever wants in on this little prank, write the list and we'll see how many people jump on board here. If we get enough this plan may work, like that Gap riot we were planning (did it work anyway?) Thanx if u want to join!

They were amazing! Although "God is a D.J." is very similar to "Insomnia" both tunes are very good...but not completely representative of their sound. They consist of a group of almost solo artists (a folk guitarist, two keyboardists, two drummers, etc.), but they mold their sounds togther. Sometimes dance, sometimes ambient, sometimes country music, or just rock...there's nothing quite like them. For that I respect them and recommend their albums (which I'm picking up very soon.) P.S. A newer group called Esthero opened the show...a lovely eclectic mix of a dj, trumpet player, two drummers, (an amazing) keyboardist, and one vocalist that sounds like bjork and a rapper that appears for a couple of songs. It's really relieving to see bands like Esthero and Faithless who create their own sounds and styles by using actual talent! (especially in the U.S. where I still can't believe that people actually listen to things like Bush and Matchbox 20). take it easy.

I know that wasn't really what you were saying but I still want credit for my country ;) Aside from Richie Hawtin I can't really think of any other Canadian talent that would get metioned on this list (FLA, but there a little hard for this list), not that we only discuss related bands here anyway ;) - -- If a synchronized swimmer starts to drown, does the partner have to drown too?

They worked well together, and well... here we are. I love their album, it's amazing.. although like nobody around here has really heard of them..

I just returned from an excellent performance by Faithless. They played a good mix of songs from Reverence and the new album. The addition of many live musicians creates a different and more complex sound than the albums... impressive. I don't think they have any U.S. dates left... they're on to Europe now. Definitely see them if y'all get a chance. Unfortunately, Esthero wasn't able to play the show in Boston. And strangely enough, Faithless wasn't the headliner. Asian Dub Foundation was headlining. I suppose that was a good thing though.... While getting down to Asian Dub Foundation, I just happened to look back over my right shoulder... and I noticed that Maxi Jazz was standing right next to me...!! Battle stations. A little switch inside my brain marked "silly fan mode" suddenly flipped into the "ON" position. I spent the rest of ADF's performance completely ignoring the music and planning exactly what I was going to say to Mr. Jazz. Fortunately I had enough time to plan... and when the music was over, I managed to chat with Maxi for a while without sounding like too much of a silly fan. And yes, I walked away with an autograph that says For Aaron: Peace Brother! -Maxi Jazz Ok. Perhaps a bit of sillyfan-ness was in effect. and dammit.. I forgot to bring a copy of my CD! Arrrrrrg. Oh well... sillyfan combined with sillyselfpromoter might have been a bit too much for Mr. Jazz to bear. :) - -Aaron .asmodeus spectre. .the new album *cadence* is now out. mp3 samples online! . .t h e s p e c t r e w e b. http://www.bigfoot.com/~amspectre/ # 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: Sun, 8 Nov 1998 14:54:30 -0500 (EST) From: Aronne J Merrelli Subject: Re: (orbital) videos Excerpts from lists: 8-Nov-98 (orbital) videos by "Ender Wright"@hotmail.c > I've never seen a single Orbital video on Mtv ever, I realize in US the > programming is, well, mindless to say the least.

Oh well, thats enough for now... Sunday night (or monday morning, depending on your point of view) at 1 or 2 AM is when AMP comes on. The last couple times I watched it they didn't show any Orbital stuff, but I know they have in the past. I don't think there is any chance of catching them in the regular rotation so this is your only chance. as for internet sites, try : www.musicblvd.com www.cdnow.com www.xmission.com/~ear www.imvs.co.uk (that might not be the right hostname) www.gemm.com 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 ------------------------------ End of orbital-digest V2 #136 *****************************
