Campbell" Subject: (orbital) Is Madonna next for our dynamic duo? I'm just wondering how long it can be before Madonna discovers our 2 brothers... She just bought a wopper mansion tnear London. She's totally into William Orbit [another legend from the 80's] OK, OK.... So I bought a Madonna single! =^P I got the single for "Music". I am not ashamed. it's fun. Gotta say it, the girl's still got. I like it. In fact I think she's getting better than ever. The track "Music" is another Madonna synthesis of american pie. It's her. What's even better? A non-album cut that is Track #2 "Cyberaga" with none other than Talvin Singh. Madonna sings the whole song in telegu [i think]. She must be listening to GOA now. Anybody care to translate it for us? i think she wants to go all the way. Into technonirvanna. I think she's getting close. How long can it be before She figures it out "I've really got to meet these Hartnoll boys!" Speaking of Divas, go see macy gray if you get a chance. that girl's got it. Thnksa for coming to Knoxville, Ms. Macy! Shnnn [Other than M im checking out a huge sale where I bought "creole masters", "mali to memphis"-putamayo series, "Hendrix at Filmore East" [remaster of great Band of Gypsies New Years show], Queens of the StoneAge [great Cal trash], Shemekia Copeland {killar! blues girl}, Can: Sacriledge [2 CD remixes by ppl like Eno and UNKLE], Nashville Pussy [great Atlanta trash], and the great stuff friends sent. # 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, 21 Nov 2000 12:34:59 -0500 From: "Shannon K.

Check out the US Bedtime Story single from Madonna. One of them (not sure if there are different ones out there) has an Orbital Remix of her song. Darn good remix if you ask me. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.

It's certainly a *good* remix, but it's not THE remix one would expect when Orbital remixes Kraftwerk! <:-) Not enough variation or "Orbital touches"!.. But it's definately worth a checkout or atleast a buy nevertheless (well, for a fan it's a must-have anyway! 8) DeeKay # 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 #381 *****************************
