(i know i've mentioned that before on the list...) my first exposure to orbital (and i've told this story before, and it's not particularly exciting) was visiting colleges during my senior year of h.s. (so '95 i guess). there i was, sick as hell with mono, at a little podunk school called lawrence in wisconsin. my host, who grew pot in his dorm room, had a bit of techno in his collection - i asked him to put something on cuz i hadn't yet had a lot of exposure to the genre. to that point, the only electronic music i owned was the prodigy's "experience" (which, btw, is one of the greatest techno classics you could ever hope to hear - if you think prodigy is all about firestarter and smack my bitch up, check out this hardass bangin disc). so he puts on the brown album. i was like "does it have a beat?" and he was like "it's got a bit of a groove to it." groove, indeed. i sat back in awe as lush->impact->remind came pouring forth through this dude's ridiculously high-wattage stereo, and thought "now THIS is the music i've been looking for all these years." since then i've bought pretty much all their stuff, with the notable exception of all that impossible-to-find pre-green stuff like "omen," etc. anyway... to the person who asked about "jega" - i posted a small review a while back. if you like rdj and mike p, i'm sure you'll like this. a bit mellower in some ways and just as hard in others - a very diverse, melodic album. question: does the middle section of spare parts express (without the synth loop) remind anyone of "the sinner"? do you know what i'm talking about? take it easy, nub # 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, 22 Jun 1999 11:07:50 -0700 From: "Ian Mahuron" Subject: (orbital) Hello! - -- Intro -- Hi.. My name is Ian. This is my first posting to this list. I've been reading the archives for quite some time now. Anyways.. I just wanted to voice my experiences with Orbital. - -- My first time -- My first album was 'In Sides'. I was 17 or so. 'The Girl with the Sun in Her Head' blew my mind. Since then, I've bought every major US release I can find and enjoy them thoroughly. I've started to collect other releases... live performances, EPs, etc... It's kind of turned into my hobby. People always ask if I get sick of Orbital... My reply is "No.. Did you know I have 5 versions of Chime?". - -- The Middle of Nowhere -- I'd like to add some input about MoN. When I bought 'Sniv'.. I hated it. I pulled the CD out a month ago and popped it in. I was dumbfounded. I had owned the CD for a couple of years and only listened to it 2 or 3 times. 'Forever' and 'Kein Trink Wasser' are simply amazing. To get to the point.. I'm having a similar transition with MoN. All in all, I find the album to be a major disappointment... though I'm sure it will grow on me. - -- Questions -- + Why wasn't 'Times Fly' ever on a major release? It's one of my favorite tracks. + What's the origin of the 'Live in Birmingham' bootleg? Can someone give me an exact date? + Who would be interested in a 'B sides' release from Orbital? How about a boxed set? *HINT HINT STEVE!!!* + Does anyone have 'Macro Head'? I can't find this track anywhere.

Time to add my two cents about my first exposure to Orbital then :) This could be an interesting thread if more people pick it up... It was my mad religion teacher who did it actually. Freshman year of high school, i had Mr. Nicoletti, a short, stubby, sweaty, uncombed, fervently religious alienist kind of guy, for Christian Identity. The high point of that mad class was when we watched (his heavily edited version of) Hackers. I forget what his point was, the hackers were all Children Of God, but only one of them was a Servant Of The Lord, and then he tied it in with the Plato's Cave metaphor, or something like that. For whatever reason he made us watch it, the music got my attention. At that point I was drifting mostly, buying mostly New Age stuff and some borderline techno, and I had my ears open to pretty much anything. Anyway, I figured What The Hell, and I looked up the soundtrack online. For no real reason the coolest name on the page stuck in my head, and when I looked up Orbital on some search engine I found Loopz' page. I heard the RealAudio of Halcyon+On+On, and since I couldn't get it out of my head I ordered the disc. The rest is history :) I got the Brown Album on a weekday night, and could do absolutely no homework that night, I was captivated. I failed a Chemistry test the next day, thanks to P+P :) Cheers to that! > ...most of the kids my age have never heard of Orbital and they act as > if I'm weird. Ah, well you're in very weird company then :) Nice to have you here... and nice to have a thread that's about Orbital too...

Actually, there is a 3rd one as well with Saint, Satan, Sinner, Chime, and Impact (?) with the 3 of them (or maybe all) being live. It seems that alot of people were first introduced to Halcyon. Me too. And from Mortal Kombat. I heard that song at the end of the movie and since I couldn't figure out who it was to buy the CD, I bought the Video. Then I bought the Soundtrack. I loved the song but never bought Orbital till I saw Hackers and heard it again. So I finally bought Insides and it had the Box/Live Halcyon +On +On and that was that. Actually, I didn't really like Insides much and I didn't buy anythign else until I heard Orbital again in the Saint. Then I bought Sniv and became a huge fan. I guess not that many people got turned ON to Orbital by Sniv, but i loved it. Especially Kein Trink. Anyway, just make sure P+P keep putting songs out in movies and they get their fans. Anyway, Later.

Sorry for the delay but i=B4ve had problems with the server... Orbital was simply great (1:50 min including Way Out, Spare Part Express, The Box, Know Where to Run, I don=B4t know you people, Halcyon + Bon Jovi + Belinda Carlisle, Nothing Left, Chime, Dr Who, Satan, Style...) Visuals (with these rotating screens) were beautiful (doves, chrono sequences, clocks...) and just made it even better. Sound could have been better...though i have to admit i was not in the best place to appreciate: too close, but i like seing brothers faces ;) and people was warm and very receptive so i suppose everybody had a good time. In Madrid, the concert was sligthly different (a little bit shorter). I=B4ve been said they played Belfast instead of Dr Who theme...but i will soon ask for further details. Besides Orbital, Sonar was quite good though the tendency to bring more and more Djs each year (instead of live concerts) is starting to annoy me, but this is of course my opinion, not very objective in this case, cause i deeply dislike this type of progressive, trance techno which people usually dance to death. The best concerts this year (IMHO) were the one from Rioji Ikeda ("the most beautiful ugly sound in the world", as one of the voices he included said) though the low frequencies made me literally sick; Bola (from Skam, the Autechre -sorry- label) just beauty...and a really nice man this Darrel; =46X Randomize (another great guy with just a powerbook PC to make this brilliant, experimental and again brilliant music) and Tarwater (one of them from To Rococo Rot, if this helps, and, by the way, one of the best releases of this year imho) with elegant and clean sounds. And that=B4s...not all but enough for a first review.

That song is so good, so melodic as you say and i can't agree more. It should've been released. Or, I'd like to find the full version on MP3 until the P&Ps label decide to make some money of it by releasing it. Somebody asked me about a song by Reload called Biosphere; I found it on a compilation called Electronica (orange sleeve), with tracks from Aphex Twin (Delphium), Carl Craig, Plaid, etc. and among these were Reload's Biosphere; although a Global Communications mix, but aren't they the same people? I first got into Orbital about 4 years ago; think it was, yeah, must have been around 1995 sometime. Worst part is, I can't remember completely how, I know I went to the Orbital concert at the Roskilde festival in '95, and I never realised it was them. The first song that I really remember is Sad But True off Sniv, heard it at one of my mate's place and that was more or less it. Really liked the sound of that, Sniv is still to this date my favourite album; and nothing moves me more than Kein Trink Wasser and Forever. For some reason, I keep associating these two tracks with a kind of futuristic vision; Blade Runner-kinda civilisation; dark city with minimalistic appearance, advanced technology, a bit like the cyberpunk novels by Gibson. Also, I finally got the Middle of Nowhere album today; I've not got much to say about it yet, heard most of the tracks up to "Nothing Left" and I intend to listen to these when i'm done here. Comments; well, "Way Out" and "Otono", probably the two, best ones so far, but as for the album as a whole so far; I think that it's much better heard live. Way Out sounds so compromised on the album, and I had my first contact with this new Orbital material at the Glasgow concert in March, and it all seems bleak in comparison with that concert. Luckily I'm catching them again this summer on 2nd July in Roskilde again, kinda deja vu of 1995! "Spare Parts Express", love half of it, don't like the other half that much. The part I like is the sections where the accordion-ish sound tunes in; and the part I don't like is where somebody (probably drunk) gets hold of the tune/note knob and starts twiddling like mad (that's what i think it sounds like at least). "Know where to run" and "I don't know you people", they again sound minimal compared to the concert version, and the former is a bit repetitive in my opinion. I know we're speaking of the master of loops here, but it's a tad bit too much for my taste. Ooh, better conclude this now, in any case, even though i may sound disappointed above, i'm not, and i think the album is good, and that it's going to continue to grow on me and someday in the not so very distant future i'll come back and regret calling it repetitive and minimal. Love the phat bass sound in Way Out, made my speakers shudder. Somebody mentioned Autechre and compared them to Orbital; I don't think it's possible to do really, their music styles differ too much in my opinion; but it's true that listening to too much of each or any kind of music makes it seem dull and then you need a break. Consider me back on my Orbital shift and on an Autechre break. Peace all, enjoy your summer!

I have to say that Keoki is not as good as Orbital. Of course, WHO is better than Orbital. But... I have the Keoki "Altered Ego-Trip" album, and I listened to it for a while thinking I would eventually get used to it and enjoy it, and it really sucked to say the least. Not to step on any toes for all of you Keoki fans! His music is just real repetitious and doesn't really keep your attention with a variety of cool beats throughout the songs. Although, if I got a chance to see the show for free, I would probably go just to check them out anyway (they may have some ok stuff that I just haven't heard in only one album). I hope that advice helped a little Robert. And thank you very much for the warm welcome into this awesome mailing list. I will be working on building up my collection of Orbital cds asap!!! I have heard of Future Sound of London and I really like their stuff. Tell me a little about Aphex Twin, I've seen some stuff on them lately, but I haven't had a chance to hear any of their music.
