I thought they were different, so I went to Amazon US and these are the tracks that don't match up: US Version / UK Version/ Orb Is [Shopping Version] Orb Is Aftermath Aftermath (Ft Me Soom T ) Land of Green Ginger [Remix Land of Green Ginger ??Dilmun Kompania (Grooved Wave Mix) Dilmun again? Dilmun I think its an error that Dilmun is listed twice, and I couldn't find my copy of the US version to compare (and I don't really care, I hope it stays lost). I did, however, get the impression that the US version didn't clear licensing for one of the songs... I suspect it is Kompania.. and I'm almost sure of it. So, to summarize, one song has been ommitted on the US version and thats the only real difference. Good luck Rach!!! -- http://hydrallus.blogspot.com

Bob Moog - tonight in Santa Cruz!

This is tonight! Info below... _jason_ _________ ________ _______ _____ ____ ___ __ _ _ _ -- Thursday, October 28th, 7:30pm http://www.riotheatre.com The Rio Theatre and Elsa Productions present the west coast premiere of "MOOG" plus a post-show LIVE talk and Q&A with ROBERT MOOG A feature documentary by filmmaker/musician Hans Fjellestad about Robert Moog, inventor of the modern synthesizer. The 70 minute film explores Moog's collaborations with musicians over the years, and his ideas about creativity, design, interactivity and spirituality. Bob Moog (b. 1934) has been inventing and building electronic musical instruments for nearly half a century. Still active in his workshop in rural North Carolina, Moog continues to shape musical culture with some of the most inspiring instruments ever created. Moog explains that he "can feel what's going on in a piece of electronic equipment... it's something between discovering and witnessing." And he is convinced that many musicians come to "feel" a circuit in a similar way. "They make contact." In fact, musicians make such strong emotional connections with the electronics inside a Moog synthesizer that Moog himself has reached cult hero status. Moog has not only made prodigious contributions to modern music and culture, but he has become a character within an unfolding "American maverick inventor" mythology. Moog certainly walks and talks the "mad scientist" part, complete with the fly-away white hair, intense eyes, eccentric mannerisms and a head full of stories. The film was shot on location in Asheville, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tokyo and London, featuring appearances by Keith Emerson, Walter Sear, Gershon Kinsgley, Jean-Jacques Perrey & Luke Vibert, Rick Wakeman, DJ Spooky, Herb Deutsch, Bernie Worrell, Pamelia Kurstin, Tino Corp. with Charlie Clouser, Money Mark, Mix Master Mike, and an eclectic mix of performers. Artists such as Stereolab, Meat Beat Manifesto, Tortoise, Money Mark, Luke Vibert & Jean-Jacques Perrey, 33, Moog Cookbook, Plastiq Phantom, Psilonaut, Bernie Worrell & Bootsy Collins, Roger O'Donnell, The Album Leaf, Pete Devriese, Bostich, Charlie Clouser, Baiyon, Suzanne Ciani, Gershon Kingsley, Doug McKechnie, Electric Skychurch and others are contributing original music produced on Moog instruments for the soundtrack. Additional discoveries like vintage films borrowed from dusty private collections round out this stylized, wonderfully strange story of a true American maverick. BOB MOOG will appear live at the Rio Theatre for this special west coast premiere screening for a talk and Q&A after the film. Showtime: 7:30pm Admission: $7.00 Tickets available at the door only, beginning at 6:30pm ------------------------------------- ------ End of Forwarded Message

First new ambient I've gotten in years. All thanks to the folks at www.themilkfactory.co.uk for their stellar recommendation. Very dark and very sleepy-ish. np- That damn Goldie Looking Chain you all got me hooked on. Since Peel died I stumbled on those Radio One music documentaries, and theres one about Chav and GLC. Not what I expected at all, great shit! If only Pompey Mark would wake up so I can get the only song I wanted... I got all but ... Your Mother Has A Penis!! Wake up. -- http://hydrallus.blogspot.com

Just read it now on the digest of The Orb's newsgroup, John Peel is dead, this really is a shock. I'm gonna listen to 'Moon In June' from Robert Wyatt now, Peel sessions 15 June 1969. One of the few good men who could make the bridge between the old and the new, from Orb to the Floyd, and back (wasn't he the godfather of one of Nick Mason's children?). Peace be with you, John...
