LX & Simon in Chicago
by Gavin Miller 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

Hello All. 800+ unread emails in my inbox. I've been busy lately, but did manage to make it out to see LX spin at Smartbar in Chicago on Monday. As luck would have it Simon Philips was in town and we met up for dinner, discussing the finer points of the industry, Ali G, women, and Prayerbox (Which is mainly his thing, not LX's). Afterwords we went to Smartbar and caught LX as he was spinning - he started early tonight. I caught close to 2 hours worth of his set, but due to the overdriven soundsystem that night my recording suffers from bass distortion (my mics just couldn't handle it) He did spin a bit of BadOrb selections, some oddities, and quite possibly some new Orb material? After his set, we met up and exchanged conversation. He says a new Orb album could drop as early as September 02, saying they have a lot of material written, and now need to make an album of it. He also plans on coming back to the US with the Orb on another tour. Now let's see when the next album REALLY comes out... He updated me on his life as a father, and how Mia keeps him young and is already showing a great interest in music. Simon left early since he had to catch a plane back to England early the next morning, but LX & I stayed at the Smartbar until 3:30, dancing, mingling.. As we left I was able to snap a photo of him next to my liscense plates, which he was very amused by. As we parted ways, He seemed saddened by me not driving to Minneapolis to see him spin. What a great great guy LX is! Gavin PS, all but 6 of 15 shows have been converted to cd from the 2 US tours last year, and LX has copies of each one. When I have some time, I'll make them available on list. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!

extended version of cydonia tracks?
by Sunburst 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

Hello all! Yesterday I was chatting someone who said he once downloaded 15 minutes of a 28 minute version of "A Mile Long Lump Of Lard", which was distributed via Napster. Assuming he would get the whole version he deleted it, and then Napster died... He said that there were more lenghty tracks from Cydonia. Does anyone know the specifics of these tracks? He mentioned that AMLLOL had the backwards dog barking from Towers Of Dub in it. Regards Sunburst

> Harry Rod?!? C'mon, is that for real? "Harry Rod" is also listed on this page (albeit not as "DJ Harry Rod," but it was also in SF), so it's a "real guy" and not a pseudonym, methinks. http://www.examiner.com/ex_files/default.jsp?story=X1227THEMIXw > anyone have any ideas what to expect for openers? I'd just look forward to good set by Single Cell rather than build false hopes for some marvelous "surprise guest." That way, if Harry Rod does turn out to be a pseudonym, you can be pleasantly surprised. JG

Sample question?

Sorry, but it's been bugging me: The quote "I've been waiting for music like this all my life". Isn't that exboomtown rat/Live aid organiser, Bob Geldof at the Live Aid concert, or did I imagine it?

Re: [Orb] 12" Rarity?

But the ambient mix of towers of dub is over ten minutes long, so if it is the ambient mix it is an edit. To help you verify whether or not its the ambient mix, it starts with the sample of a doctor asking for some plasma and also has weird samples from some sort of trial with the judge not tolerating any "yankee hippies" and the baliff or whoever is talking sampling some of the evidence from the trial. Hope this helps. Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: Simon Bennett Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 7:03 AM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Orb] 12" Rarity?

I was quite happy with the show. I would like to know if anyone recorded it. I would offer to send something to help the cause (cdrs, mp3s,etc). LX was on about 2 1/2 hours. The warm up guys were pretty good as well. John Goerner "Better Living Through Gravity" johng(a)usgravitics.com
