It could just be my opinion but wasn't The Orb at it's best when they just stuck to their Ambient thing?? A few tracks on Cydonia reminded me of the *old* Orb... Maarten

OT -- Dub and reggae and stuff
by Alan Evil 14 Aug '02

14 Aug '02

I've got a lot of 19 compilation cds on eBay. It's probably too much to ask (ends up being a little more than a dollar each for the minimum bid plus shipping) but I don't want to just give the damn things away. It's about half reggae and half jazz with an Acid Jazz cd and a hip-hop cd. I'm just curious why there is so little mention of the Orb's early debt to dub music. Most of Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld is very heavily dub influenced. The super heavy and slow basslines over upbeat drums is the signature mark of dub. (Not to mention the rasta talk on Perpetual Dawn). Institute for Psychic Reform Change your Mind www.psychicreform.com

Upcoming LX / Meat Beat Manifesto release
by DJ Goatsucker 14 Aug '02

14 Aug '02

Greetings fellow Goatsuckers. Haven't seen this mentioned so I thought I'd delurk and report: http://www.brainwashed.com/mbm/meat.html MBM R OK R U? Meat Beat Manifesto will be releasing a new record in October 2002 titled RUOK?. The record represents a healthy growth in the innovative Meat Beat sound. At first listen, the dense, dark layers of samples, breakbeats, and politically charged vocals that were the hallmark of previous MBM releases are noticeably stripped down. The newfound sonic direction is a direct result of the equipment and setting Jack used in the recording of the new album. The music was in part created in Jack's Bay area studio on an incredibly rare 1970's synthesizer unit called the EMS Synthi 100. R.U.O.K? collaborators include the turntablist-of-the-moment, Z-Trip, and ambient legend Alex Paterson of The Orb. Z-Trip, perhaps best known for his very listenable scratch/blend DJ sets that combine hip-hop and classic rock, lends his scratching ability to the very funky "What Does It all Mean?" & "Hankerchief Head". Alex Paterson contributes on the eerie "Horn of Jericho." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Well, this was mentioned on the list a number of months ago, but I can't recollect by whom - it was an interview with Alex, and he mentioned a collaboration that he was working on with both Jimmy & Dave Gilmour - can't remember the name of the proposed group at this time. If I get some spare time, I'll try and do a Google search through the previous KLF/Orb archives - anyone remember? l8rs, Nick ;-) > >As Mr. Nickwking said: > > > >< I think that there's a new Orb album due out next > >< year via Badorb, as well > >< as Dave Gilmour/Alex Paterson/Jimmy Cauty > >< collaboration at some point... > > > >Where did you get that info?

I could have *sworn* that Dave Gilmour was going to be involved with this, as opposed to Guy Pratt... "Transit Kings "The latest Orb album, Cydonia, came out early this year, but Paterson has already recorded a new Orb album that's ready to be mixed (tentatively titled Battersea Shield), is recording an album with KLF and former Orb member Jimmy Cauty and Pink Floyd bassist Guy Pratt as the Transit Kings" Well, profuse apologies... l8rs, Nick ;-( > Well, this was mentioned on the list a number of months ago, but I can't recollect by whom - it was an interview with Alex, and he mentioned a collaboration that he was working on with both Jimmy & Dave Gilmour - can't remember the name of the proposed group at this time. > > If I get some spare time, I'll try and do a Google search through the previous KLF/Orb archives - anyone remember? > > l8rs, > > > Nick ;-) > > > >As Mr. Nickwking said: > > > > > >< I think that there's a new Orb album due out next > > >< year via Badorb, as well > > >< as Dave Gilmour/Alex Paterson/Jimmy Cauty > > >< collaboration at some point... > > > > > >Where did you get that info?
