> I'm still here. And I'm preparing Auntie Aubrey's vol.4 - anyone > interested?-- Honestly, I'm not...and I wasn't interested in the third either. Nothing personal, but aa3 was a low bitrate mix of tracks that are readily available on various different file sharing apps. I appreciate the work but personally, I'd rather have an official, high-quality release, or, mix my own favorites together with higher audio standards. From what I understand, you've taken 128k files, mixed them and encoded the mix at 128k. There is so much data missing from the original audio that it's not worth listening to on a nice home audio system. Don't hate me, just personal opinion.

Auntie Aubrey's 4 completed

Can someone provide me any FTP?? I'll upload it ASAP. The tracklisting is as follows. I have to explain something: since I already have AA1 1996 UK version and AA2 US version, so AA4 contains tracks that are available on US version of AA1 and UK version of AA2. I just wanted to have all Orb remixes without buying another AA's ;-) All tracks are mastered from mp3, mostly from 128 kB, so I also coded it in 128 kB. Disc one: 1. The KLF - 3 a.m. Eternal (blue danube orbital) 7.43 2. Wendy & Lisa - Staring at the Sun (blinding mix) 8.06 3. David A. Stewart & Candy Dulfer - Lily Was Here (space centre medical unit hum mix) 7.53 4. The Cranberries - Zombie (a camel's hump remix) 7.19 5. Gong - A PHP's Advice (gong with the wind orb mix) 7.35 6. Electric Chairs - Barbie Girl (the good, the bad mit barby mix) 4.35 7. Yellow Magic Orchestra - Waterford (a23 diversion mix) 11.58 8. Fortran 5 - Groove (the herbal supper mix) 5.51 9. Marathon - Movin' (orbital ambientapella live mix) 5.33 10. Front 242 - Crapage (never hurry a murray mix) 5.28 11. Zoe - Moonsister (lunar dub edit) 5.12 Disc two: 1. Mike Oldfield - Sentinel (nobel prize mix) 14.20 2. Creature - Stuffed Hostage (the ambient western orb mix) 5.49 3. Ayumi Hamasaki - Monochrome (orb 7" vocal) 4.01 4. Electrical Lovers - Nijyu Rasen (hal 2002 dave my mind is going orb mix) 5.15 5. Indochine - Mao Boy (the orb mix) 5.02 6. Marathon - Love Park (we got love) (orbital remix) 6.31 7. Serge Gainsbourg - Requiem por un C... (the orb remix) 5.50 8. Mika Nakashima - Find the Way (jamaals manatee mix by the orb) 5.23 9. System 7 - Mia (the fisherman mix) 9.11 10. Dkiku - Primitive (orbtij mix) 7.49 11. Yellow Magic Orchestra - Nanga Def? (hope you choke on your whale meat mix) 5.54 I think that second disc is most dark sounding one from all AA's ;-) -- == gry dodawane do czasopism ============== http://www.markolf.fr.pl == == http://members.tripod.com/markolf ==== complete fluke discography ==

Just got hold of it now, and my God (or should I say my LX) , Kompania is far better then Compania, ain't it... Also From A Distance has improved a lot (I like the Ultraworld 'Grace Jones' treatment and the shorter that track is the better). I didn't hear a lot of improvements between both Tower23 mixes, but that probably is because I find it boring anyway. Same for Orb Is. And Aftermath... the album could've done without, I guess... Oh well, I guess it's not all trash 8-))) Felix NP: Franz Ferdinand, nice little record

Brian this is Matt from west wisconsin. Was I jerk to you or Derrian? Who quit the list and came back a month later? Either way, sorry I was in a troll phase there for a bit, but I've found outlets for my steam. Its soo funny if you look back at everyone yelling at eachother to STFU like a month or two ago then everybody is quiet for like long periods of time. Though, I am gonna have to say Gavin is mine, you back off!!! (ok we'll share, me M T Sat and you W Th Fr and we'll switch sundays) Any good shows at Alpine this summer? I went to Radiohead last year, was my first time there. I think I'm going to somewhere near La Cross this weekend. >From: brian(a)lists.frickster.net >Reply-To: What were the skies like when you were >young?<orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >To: What were the skies like when you were young? ><orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: Re: [Orb] Just fishing for attention... >Date: Thu, 20 May 2004 12:59:51 -0500 (CDT) > >Gavin, > >I put that virus on your computer, you know...

Another Fine Day
by Rob_King 20 May '04

Hi kids, I'm listening to Auntie Aubrey's 3 right now (thanks again to whomever, it's a great mix!)... And I sorta find the remix of Another Fine Day's Scarborough Fair pretty interesting... Has anyone ever bought the original CD? (it is called "Salvage") Is it any good? In terms of ambeint music, what's it like? Similar to the approach KLF took with Chill Out? Any info/opinions would be appreciated... Cheers, Rob
