>>Frankly, I think the 7" edit is one of the most interesting pieces of drum n' bass i've heard (that would be the ding changa-din-jang-ga rhythm)... Heh, you must not have heard too much drum n bass in your time. . . >>maybe you're all just house-heads with no space for hardstep in your musical cache =P....man, you probably don't like the ganja kru remix of "toxygene" either (which is brilliant) Nope, I'm no house head, in fact I'm obsessed with breakbeats. I simply find the track annoying, what with the recycled Enigma sample and all. While I wouldnt call the ganja kru remix of "toxygene" brilliant, it aint too shabby. Check out the ganja kru remix of the Beastie Boys "Negotiation Limerick File" for an even better remix job. To each their own though, how about this for a survey if Mickey Mars aint it, what do you all think the lamest Orb track ever is? (or are we all so LX-struck that we love anything he has ever been involved with?) "We're Pastie to Be Grill You" gets my vote! ;P ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Sturgess Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 1:35 AM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Orb] Mickey Mars RULES =P >> Yeah.

Yeah, the 7" is ok. The 14 minute version is shit - it's just overly long and boring...and dare I say it, a little unsubtle. Bit like they said, oh we need a new track for the best of compo - see what you can knock up over lunch will you. Like the cover says "needs edit" ;-) If someone can give me an IP address l/p I'll gladly rip it to mp3 and stick it on there....honestly, you won't believe how lame it is. I paid a bit for it, but seeing as it's not all that I'm not that bothered now. IRT Rach's ad music - amazing how many good tracks get used on adverts or for short TV hooks and stuff now - I was watching Ray Mears' survival the other day, and I heard Zero 7, Royksopp, LemonJelly and the like. I'm positive I heard a snippet from a Kruder & Dormeister remix on one of those poxy DIY programmes the other day too....still waiting to hear Thievery Corporation though. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

ORB MOONMISSION - Countdown
by Bbbrooo＠aol.com 27 Aug '02

Here at Mission Control we are tremendously impressed with the caliber of recruits. Many have ALREADY successfully completed the rigorous training: >>> Private V******* reporting for pre-flight training stage 3, SIR! Yes sir, I have completed the OT and TOABTO training segments, and am prepared for the final MO session. My papers? Here you go, sir: >>>> ................. Mission tips: 1) Due to nature of snail mail please get you applications in as soon as possible. (Don't forget the address) 2) Once the CD arrives there should be no pre-listening. Wait until 11.45 pm. We don't want any premature launches do we! As you were, bbroo

C'mon Rachel, you know that the next time LX drops LFC at a show you are going to go nuts right along with everyone else! I think Kyle Zeto is funny though, come to think of it LX probably thought Mickey Mars was quite a laugh as well (but I guess on that one I was on the outside looking in!).

(and i'm CONVINCED there are backwards lyrics in there - i just haven;t found em yet) currently, i think there's a resounding hatred of Kyle Zeto, but frankly, I could go without hearing Little Fluffy Clouds ever again. (go on, flame me) guess i'm in the minority of the list - i love the tracks everyone hates, and hate the number one single... =) rachel ______________________ Rachel's Shrine to The Orb: http://www.migoto.com/orb _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orbGet more from the Web.

RE: [Orb] OT: need "revolutionary" music recommendations
by John Goerner 27 Aug '02

If you are looking for upbeat I would try Ulbrich Schnauss - far away trains passing by, or maybe some LSG or Aural Float? All of those are pretty accessible and upbeat. revolutionary is the in gunsight of the beholder. good luck John Goerner "Better Living Through Gravity" johng(a)usgravitics.com np: Bombay 2: Electric Vindaloo which is probably not good for a marketing presentation but still quite nice. -----Original Message----- From: -> rachel [mailto:rachel@migoto.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 10:55 AM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Orb] OT: need "revolutionary" music recommendations Hey Folks! I'm in a bit of a bind at work: we've got a client in the UK, and we need a song for the soundtrack of a multimedia presentation. It needs to sound upbeat, contemporary, and most importantly "revolutionary" (whatever that means). I've made several recommendations, which keep getting shot down by the Marketing folks (who are middle-aged Americans and I suspect not the least bit in touch with music not on the easy-listening station). If you lovely audiophiles out there have any suggestion on tracks, (and possibly even MP3 files of them) I'd love your help... please email me off-list today!

Please distribute it as freely as you like. Although it would be good if he had Alex's address so that he could donate money towards the next project?! Which I can tell you, will blow you away!! If he wants the full artwork I can certainly send out another copy, cheers, bbroo

ORB MOONMISSION – Final Countdown (serious listees can delete this now)
by Bbbrooo＠aol.com 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Unfortunately, some of you signed up so late that Dave will personally have to stop by with your delivery (bad luck). If he is unable to get to it today there is always another beautiful evening to be had, don’t worry. Anyway, congratulations cadets. Every single one of you successfully completed the training, and today is the day you make your big flight. MISSION UPDATE: Fueling is underway, final countdown is progressing reasonably accurately and there is a definite ENERGY in the air… ~ ^ Currently Chief Fluffy Cloud, and what is left of his tribe, are performing a ceremonial pre-launch dance at the launch site. This should banish all evil, as well as quell the primal urges associated with the nearly full moon: baying at it, etc). They have come all the way from Arizona. (A big hand for the Chief……….). Some of your fellow Orbonauts are currently finishing off a fantastic meal with hearty helpings of sweets and liqueurs at the Mission Control Restaurant, and what is left standing of the band is practicing an “uplifting send off song”. MISSION REROUTE: Just in, we have had this report from NASA “your Mission is to be diverted to the International Space station to drop off a couple of bales and a lighter refill”. Don’t worry this shouldn’t hold us up much. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who signed up and quote a few words from Orbonaut Commander J….., that were very much appreciated by all at Mission Control: “What you're doing is a great service to mankind, for too long NASA have monopolised space travel - now you are enabling common folk to enjoy the experience!” (A special word of thanks to Steph for his generous donation. This extra energy will help boost future missions to their final destination). MISSION WARNING: Orbonauts could experience some disorientation when weightless & flying faster than man has ever flown before. Our Mission Control Specialist suggests Rhythmic Movement to stabilize these effects. (Important note: do not knock over your telescope, ashtray or beverage!). FINAL MISSION CONTROL WORD: As you make that final climb down the module ladder, with the earth rising on the horizon, don’t forget your speech……. ”One small baby-step for Mankind, one giant leap for the Orb Mailing List……” Good luck and have a happy flight! Mission Controller - bbroo

yeah rachel - i'd have to recommend Ulrich Schnauss too - but if they're looking for 'even MORE upbeat young & revolutionary' ;) give them Röyksopp-Eple or an old track like Orbital-Halcyon or stuff in that league - they wont know that track and that 92 sound will probably sound fresh to them.. :D i AM serious btw - i've done a load of music for fashionshows in my time.. sincerely bumblebee.. >From: "John Goerner" <johng(a)gandm.com> >Reply-To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >To: <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: RE: [Orb] OT: need "revolutionary" music recommendations >Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 11:05:09 -0500 > >If you are looking for upbeat I would try Ulbrich Schnauss - far away >trains passing by, or maybe some LSG or Aural Float? > >All of those are pretty accessible and upbeat. revolutionary is the in >gunsight of the beholder. > >good luck > >John Goerner >"Better Living Through Gravity" >johng(a)usgravitics.com > >np: Bombay 2: Electric Vindaloo which is probably not good for a >marketing presentation but still quite nice. > > >-----Original Message----- >From: -> rachel [mailto:rachel@migoto.com] >Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 10:55 AM >To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: [Orb] OT: need "revolutionary" music recommendations > > >Hey Folks! > >I'm in a bit of a bind at work: we've got a client in the UK, and we >need a >song for the soundtrack of a multimedia presentation.
