... I'd like to recommend 'Jonny L - Sawtooth'. For me, this was a shining example of quality production, smart arrangement and killer sound design. Check it out. You will not be disappointed. ------------------------------------ m a r t Â l e p p i k Â - Â floor115 ------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.

Unless they were printed on acid free paper (doubtful) they will still turn yellow. -----Original Message----- From: Rene Rojas [mailto:bay_addict@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 1:21 AM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Orb] more badorb.com questions... has anyone here laminated their Bob certificates? i'm tempted to do so, as I'd hate for them to "yellow" over time. :( good idea or bad?

> amazing how many good tracks get used on adverts And here's today's object lesson: go to http://www.hummer.com/hummerjsp/world/tv/index.jsp and click on the "Ocean" spot. Class dismissed. JG PS - Don't use the "interested in buying" link: it points you to the wrong album.

I did get a set of muhgz, and am quite happy with them. Well packed in a molded styrofoam thingy. quite a difference from the rest of the packaging of course. Now, whether they are still selling? good luck. >also, has anyone in the States order any Muhgz? it's a >tempting offer, even though it's expensive. i just >fear they may chip or break. > >thanks in advance, >rene

For real. Mickey Mars is shite- and I can't in my wildest imagination imagine Roni Size et al. admitting to it being D&B. D&B almost always has phat beats and basslines- hence the name- Micky Mars is lacking in both- it also sounds like Deep Forest. I reckon those of you out there that like it, wear tie-die trousers- come on, admit it, ya space headz! Worst track by the Orb- No Fun remix- woke up to Peel Sesh OOBE today- nice- then I am bombarded by music my dad used to be in to- I have hence forth been angry all day.

O.K., all you out there that think Mickey Mars is the "best dnb song ever" need to go listen to Amon Tobin's Permutaions album right now, if you still think Mickey Mars is a sparkling example of experimental dnb, then check yourself into the nearest psychiatric ward to get your head examined. Jason Oh yeah, I liked In the Mode (except for that song with Zach De La Coca) it's alot harder and rougher than New Forms but thats what makes it cool. ha. it's funny because Roni Size has made some SHITE Drum n Bass himself - you hear reprazent's last album??? complete shite, except for snapshot and the the rahzel track... the other stuff is cheezy as hell. "No Fun" is a fun track. I say "Fuck All Ya'll" who are still down on Mickey Mars, with a friendly smile. -andrew _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orbGet more from the Web.

Hi everyone! Whoever mentioned that they had it to share, could you please email me? I can provide the space for everyone to download. Then we can all get to the bottom of this :) Good or bad, it would still be great to have so we can judge for ourselves :) ------------------------------------ m a r t Â l e p p i k Â - Â floor115 ------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
