I'd say go with HMV.co.jp if you haven't ordered already - mine arrived just now, and i've popped it into my stereo! yeehaw!! (it sounds SO much better than through my computer speakers off that website) i'm still digesting it, but overall, i'd say its quite orby and i'm nothing less than thrilled! =) rachel ------------------------------------ Rachel's Orb Discography http://www.backsideoftheorb.com

I'd like to officialy amend my nomination for worst Orb track ever from Mickey Mars to From A Distance. I have to believe it's a joke, unfortunately it's just not funny. I can honestly say I'd rather hear the Bette Midler song of the same tite, and that really hurts. >From: "angry troll [OT]" <thrash(a)justablip.co.uk> >Reply-To: thrash(a)justablip.co.uk, What were the skies like when you >wereyoung? <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >To: "'What were the skies like when you were >young?'"<orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: RE: [Orb] PISS DANCE >Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2003 18:39:57 +0100 > >thanks... > >can anyone else who likes from a distance own up >so i can filter you in my mail program.... >hehehehe > >aunty tea > >-- > > )) > (( > c[_] bLiP > > www.justablip.co.uk > >-----Original Message----- >From: orb-bounces(a)mailman.xmission.com >[mailto:orb-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of >Zeisscontarex(a)aol.com >Sent: 30 June 2003 17:38 >To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Re: [Orb] PISS DANCE > > >I like From A Distance. > >_______________________________________________ >Orb mailing list >Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

I knew about those, but I guess I should have been more specific. I was speaking about early versions of songs from ABTU. "Supernova At The End Of The Rainbow", "Reefer Spin In The Galaxy", I don't know any other titles.

It doesn't really sound like an Orb track as much as a Jimi Cauty track. It's not the best thing I've heard, but like it. I like most of Jimi's stuff though. I definitely don't think it's as bad as the 2 Unlimited /LA Style type of crap techno. It's funny that most of your gripes about Alex fall in line with what Jimi said in an interview when he was asked about why he left the Orb. He basically said something like "he was just a mediocre DJ and really provided no worthwhile musical input." This leads me to my next question that you might be able to answer. I heard that Jimi worked on more tracks than just the original Huge Ever Growing Brain..., but he decided to leave the band without taking credit. Is there any truth to this? If so, what tracks???

not to doubt Thrahs's inherint authority on musical topics, but i like the mix Mr. Evil. very nice.... funny conincidence with the "Logan's Run" samples -- i found the DVD used for $5 at a local bookshop, so on Sat Night i popped a few brews and watched it yet again. great flick... the "Playa Hata" thing was awesome too. hysterical really! old drunk urban folks are just too funny. and, one final comment: that ambient festival thing sounds awesome, but alas i have a final that next Tuesday. i just saw Robert Rich a few weeks ago, and he was great in concert. went on a bit long for so late and so mellow in a venue that doesn't serve coffee, but still very cool.

After listening to B&T.. .. i don't like it at all .. when i got Cydonia i liked (aftert a while) most of the tracks, but now with B&T i'm not so sure anymore.. What i think of it is that 'they' (Orb) or LX so to speak lost it somewhere.. What i do not like about the album is that almost every song has a programmed riddim, where back in the days of 'huge brain' lots of nice sample loops were used. There's my point: it all sounds so damned static and digital to me. No hands on deck analogue mixing i expect. Okay, the sounds are pretty nice but it all comes to combining stuff and arranging properly.. and i think they didn't do it right.. :-( Sorry, i would have liked to be more positive about B&T but i cannot find any positive arguement now, sadly enough. statement: "Orb should get back to the roots before it's to late" greetz ARv >From: "angry troll [OT]" <thrash(a)justablip.co.uk> >Reply-To: thrash(a)justablip.co.uk, What were the skies like when you >wereyoung? <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >To: <thrash(a)justablip.co.uk>,<orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: RE: [Orb] PISS DANCE >Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2003 20:54:42 +0100 > > I am thinking it must be a joke >by alex to see if devoted anything orb does is good fans like it. > >No joke...

>Yeah you need sync.. Its good! I think that mix does suck a bit yeah... >Mebbe you wont with sync! Try tracktor for play back of cds on your comp >There are these boxes made by someone or other Red planet I think theyre called >They sync up your decks or cd and mixer And send midi clock out to whatever >They are pretty good And if they drift you gotta tap button to tap it bak into time The cd decks and turntable were used only for sound fx, environmental, and funny sounds so I don't really need or want to synch them with anything. The Red Planet box sounds good if it's not too expensive. Oddly enough I was thinking about buying a midi controller/sequencer to mind all my machines just today while painting my front door. I thought to myself, "Self, we should learn about midi." And myself said, "What the fuck are you going to buy more music shit with?!?! You're fucking broke and lucky you're not arrested for it being as how you live in some sort of 1984 meets A Tale of Two Cities kind of period." Then I thought about having sex with that fantastic babe at the coffee shop for a while and then I got hungry and took a break to eat chips... So... Uh... yeah. Controller. That's a great idea. I'm definately going to check out this Red Box thing. Playing live with a computer is just way out of my budget right now. I've invested well over $10G in the stuff I have and I've got to do the best I can with what I've got and the few pennies at my disposal until I make enough to replace it all. Also, that Allen & Heath 464 mixer that's my next purchase rules out any serious expenses for a while. I would love to say fuck it, buy a Triton and get rid of all this stuff but my ship has yet to come in. >Wow! Great echo on his voice... >Try waves restoration for making it usable in a track.... >You give it a blast of the noise on its own and then you snorted >Another bible thumper gone nuts I reckon.. All of it was recorded with a single stereo mic in one take. I edited out some mic handling noise at the beginning, and cut some eq for lo-fi listening but other than that it's the sound of my neighborhood. If anyone wants a .wav copy of this to use for any reason, let me know. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years.
