I have the full length Orb vs. Coldcut tracks on my ftp. If people are interested in them, I can make a available in the KLF folder.

Let me know. IF there is enough interest, I will open up all of my ORB material to the list. I have over 13 gigs of rare and out-of-print material on the server.

as far as I'm aware, the sessions were recorded on Kiss
FM in 1989, and were also something to do with Coldcut (?) Presumably,
Bill, Jimmy and Alex were on Kiss FM around that time (hence, the Orb's
"Kiss" EP) and this was the result. I think two of the tracks were made
available on CD as part of an interview booklet - and another might have
been made available as "The Orb" track (which is just called "The Orb",
with no artist - or not title) on the CD of "Eternity Project One".



is the booklet/CD you're referring to "the o.o.b.e adventure"? (the CD has "alex vs. the klf - 10:18" and "Orb Vs. Coldcut/KISS FM - 14:26")

it's not from that, and it's not from the "KISS" EP

and I thought the "eternity" track was "tripping on sunshine"

so where exactly did the mp3 (previously mp2) version of "brooklyn new york" come from?

every copy I've heard sounds like it comes from the same source - it starts "hot", then the volume is lowered quickly at the beginning to avoid further distortion

is it considered to be more an "orb" track than a "klf" track? (I would tend to disagree, as it has the crazy "madrugada" preacher samples and is referenced more-or-less in the u2 "new york" remix)
