Note to self: Not everyone on the Orb list has a sense of humor... So to try to veer more towards topicality, any reviews on the new MBM? Is the LX participation very noticable and/or notable?

LX in Chicago 10/24 - news on Badorb...
by Gavin Miller 28 Oct '02

28 Oct '02

Hello all, I made it out to the Smartbar in Chicago Thursday night to Catch LX's set, and apparently not too many of you were there. I'd say at most there were 40-50 people at the club. LX went on around midnight & spun to around 2 am or so. He played a new remix of AHEGPB and that Eminem vs Toxygene mix, with a lot of Kompakt artists. Even though there weren't that many people tere, I had a good time - LX & I chatted for a long, long time- maybe about 4 hours or so beforr and after his set. He gave me details on all things orb, past & current colaborators, the fate of Badorb, his little orb girl Mia, his histor with Metro, and anything else we felt like chatting about... Anyways, Badorb records is finished. The last release is BOB14. He told me the reord pressers ran out of money, and asked for more from LX, who's still waiting to receive a returm from the records sold. The intent was good, but it ended up being too much work for a miniscule amount of satisfaction. Also, Kyle Zeto's mom threatened legal action for his song being on their release. Apparently she thinks he's entitled to some of the profit from the sales... She'll be waiting a LOOONG time for that. The Orb is now on Kompakt Records. Any and all following releases will be through that channel. The new Orb album is about 70% done. LX has been working with Thomas Fehlman almost exclusively on it. Witchman is still in the pictue too. He didn't say anything about a working title, or at least I don't remember it. Lx also mentioned the work he'd been doing with Jimi Caulty, and that Jimi admits LX was right about not having the Orb break up after their first album. The Orb's publishing rights go up for bidding next year and Kris Weston and him have been talking about buying them back, Kris more positively than LX. Prayerbox has an abum just about finished and will most likely be released on Invisible Records next year. Simon gave me more info on it and mentioned letting me have a preview on it. LX talked a little bit about the early days as working for Killing Joke, and a run in they once had with Grace Jones, along with them touring with Joy Division. (I gave LX a copy of Grace Jones' cover of "She's Lost Control" earlier) I met Chris Widman, a local DJ who works for WLUW's "Abstract Science" and recorded LX's set back in February. We talked for a while, and he mentioned that he knows fellow listee Wallace Winfrey. He didin't have his DAT with him to record LX's set, but I did. He even hooked me up directly to the mixer! I offered him an exchange for a clone of his masters. We'll see what happens. I ended up leaving around 4 AM with LX and his tour manager (or driver). Before they sped away, I grabbed an old liscense plate from my car and handed it to LX. The reaction he gave it was better than I anticipated- He got very emotional about it and gave me a hug. We said good bye, and wished each other safe travels. As I got in my car, I realsed I left one of the discs I wanted to give him in my stereo!!! Doh! Well, I guess that's what the mail is for. It was a night to remember for sure. LX is one of the most genuine poeople I've ever met - his heart is in the right place for making music, but then we all ready knew that. Right Orbies?
