In the first recording I was in Cherokee park (an Olmsted park) and it wasn't nearly as intense as I expected. In that one I was parked on a hill and a bicycle zooms past. In the 2nd recording I was in an open area with isolated big trees and it was incredibly loud. My truck was on the side of the road with the microphone set on the toolbox. At some point a car drives past. It gives you a good idea of how loud it was. In a wave editor the pattern looks just like a pop song: http://www.psychicreform.com/Music/index.htm ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ "Be who you are... not what's cool." --Chef.

Pete Namlook recommendations?
by -<(::jason::)>- 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

So I am looking to expand my ambient horizons, and haven't really checked out too much Namlook / Fax stuff. But I am a little overwhelmed by the amount of releases! 84 albums!! Let me start by saying I'm not a huge fan of completely beatless drone music. But I know not all Namlook is like that, and I don't know where to start. I'd like some stuff with beats or textures of some sort (not just 80 minutes of spacey tones). I liked some of the S.H.A.D.O. Stuff, and some of the Fires Of Ork album, but that's about all I know. Any recommendations?? Thanks! :-) _jason_

Moog/photo/huge/star wars/genetic/duck/day off stuff

1) If you get the chance, try messing about with moogs new theremin, the Etherwave Pro ( http://www.moogmusic.com ) - you don't even have to be a musician to produce a damn fine sound (pity about the price though). 2) By the way the orb site is requesting your photos - "keep 'em kleen......keep 'em orb related....perhaps...."!!?! ( http://www.theorb.com/Images.html ) 3) Anyone going to be 'compus mentus' enough to record tonights show at the Coronet ? 4) Did any listee buy the e-bay 60 MIN "Huge evergrowning..." a while back? Is it a better quality recording than the distorted mp3 version? In the correct state of mind this track syncs in well with the new Star Wars trilogy DVD's PLAYED AT X8. Don't forget to slow down: "New Hope-iv" to X1 at "0:42:57" for the Alien Bar scene. Definitely a pub worth visiting - astronauts propping up the bar, hook-ah smoking aliens, weird cross species encounters, etc. Just found out that genetic sequencing shows that our earliest ancestor was a Fungus (that eventually evolved into a sponge), etc, etc, "...... just as that first fungus could ever have conceived of the orb mailing list so we can not possibly imagine our destiny............" 5) DANGER - just gone missing from its present owner: BE WARNED! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5508453273 np: dub trees (nature....) & dvd reefer madness (speeded up to X8) - cos I have a day off, ha! -wish I could be at the show tonight. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Andy worked on most of the first half on cydonia, check out the creds. I think the reason jungle (and the others) were bagged was alex was pissed cydonia got leaked to the internet and decided to replace some of the beat oriented tracks for the newer stuff they were working on. Pretty sure I heard it in one of those realvideo interviews (mebbie "the sleeper awakens"??) I agree though, Yungle rocks. _____________________________________________________________ Get email for your site ---> http://www.everyone.net

RE: [Orb] Yungle... Images, Komplott

I really thought this was one of the best tracks that came out in the pre-release cydonias (v1,v2, etc..). Sadly I don't think it can ever be officially released beceause the production is partly credited to Andy Hughes who left the orb at this point. I'm not even sure if he consented to it that it could be released. There's always wishful thinking. I have a few great orb related photos that I would love to send into theorb.com but they don't have an email addy up there!!! LX bro!! Feed your webmaster some amphetamines and get the link going!! Anybody order/receive the Komplott EP yet? Can't get the Kompakt sound samples to work..bahh! Hesitant to order w/o hearing first, someone mentioned one of the tracks sounded good, a little more in depth description would definately help.

Yungle...
by David Sanchez 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

While waiting for Cydonia to be released I downloaded a bunch of tracks that were supposedly going to be on the album. One of my favorite tracks of those that were due to be on the album was Yungle. When I got the CD (in the US) it did not have this track, and I was completely baffled as to why such a great song would be chopped off of the US release (or off of the album entirely). Does the UK version include Yungle? Anyone else dig this song? Just curious... David
