Phil- That wasnt me up the front with a camcorder (wish it was)- though I was up close, laughing at Hillages gurny facial expressions. Jonathan- know what ya mean about the period after Glasto- its like someones torn out the rekindled spirit of youth that you just discovered you had again- shit- Im only 23- I shouldnt be saying stuff like that. Couldnt agree with you more about the Experience tent- what a heep of bollocks, but theres a ridiculous amount of people out there who love that TV Trance stuff, and its best for all others that they are locked away in their own cheesy domain- I dont think Ill ever forget buying a falafel outside that tent (I was just passing- believe me!) and being served by some gurning fool who proceeded to wave his hands in my face for about 5 minutes while chanting Brandon Bloks name to the monotonous beat- oh what a stain on my memory! Roni Size was mos def phat- but thought Marky and Patife absolutely outgunned all the Brittish D & B djs. Squarepusher was another of the secret Glade acts (played just before Orbital played on the sat)- and was as mashed-up as norm- couldnt agree with you more about the Glade either- what an absolutely incredible selection of music- and a real illegal ravey atmos as well- Id also like to pay my respects to the tent that opened up next to the Glade stage when the music stopped- continuing, generally speaking, with some blinding electro, and in particular, a 5am set from Boards of Canada. As Lou Carpenter once said when he discovered Sheryll had been run over: Oh this all so unreal.

Oh, and Ive just been looking at the NME website, and its just made a bit of a shock revelation to me. While I was waiting to see Plaid, we watched a completely mental DJ, simply billed as Warp DJ. As I recall they were playing the most insanely fast gabba and speed-jungle, and everyone was jumping about in a complete frenzy. Being on shrooms, I recall feeling a tad berwildered by the whole thing, but what really stood out to me was one particularly memorable mix, which made me laugh my socks off. Probably the hardest and fastest Gabba tune was briefly abrubted twice by the smooth as sample of MC Hammers Cant Touch This while electronic voices screeched Fuck and Cunt. Turns out it was Aphex Twin! The moral of the story is: Dont do mushrooms before youve found out who the mystery DJ is. >From: Bongdevil(a)aol.com >Reply-To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Re: [Orb] Loophead@Glastonbury >Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2002 06:52:45 EDT > >In a message dated 7/2/02 11:40:31 AM GMT Daylight Time, >barrydark(a)hotmail.com writes: > > > > Boards of Canada played- they did their entire set kneeling down and > > rinsed some quite heavy beats onto their warped ambient sounds > >wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww................. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

East of The River Nile

Finally got around to picking up August Pablo's fine re-issue "East of the River Nile". The track listings don't give much information. It's pretty hard to tell which tracks are the remixes. Upon first listening I would say there isn't an Orb mix on the CD. Though the notes do have this from LX: "Melodica in the most high and giving his love to King Salassi I H.I.M. (His Imperial Majesty) music play forever, give thanks and praise. Augustus we'll meet again" Alex Paterson/The Orb Still waiting BOB11 here in Southern Cali. Still celebrating Brasil's victory last Sunday! Now to break out some more music, a Bass Ale and let's get irie. FVLL
