B&T - UK Version
by -->rachel 14 May '04

14 May '04

So not much word from anyone about the UK Bicycles & Tricyles... I didn't find it earth-shatteringly different from the Japan release. I think I'm still diggin Prime evil and tower 23 the best. Simon's got the touch when it comes to bass, and Tower 23 has that clasic Orb In Dub sound to it... I will admit that aftermath is growing on me, but i will never get over the mc... i wish they'd put out an instrumental version or something Anyone else have much of a reaction? =) rachel ------------------------------------ Rachel's Orb Discography http://www.backsideoftheorb.com

<< I posted 302's entire album, so you can download it below. Its only bout 20 min, and I was not a part of it, but'll it give you an idea of what we sound like. >> i'm listening now. pretty darned cool... i would love to see this in a live setting.... if the drum riff on the first song sampled -- it soudns really familiar to me, but i can't place it.... << 302 Acid is kinda dubby, kinda drum and bass, and kinda ambient (since I've been in the groop). >> yeah, i hear the whole dub thing in a big way. << I'd say it sounds kinda like some bill laswell stuff...I do fire out some vocal samps from time to time, so it might get remotely orby. >> yeah, i can see that as well. << We also do alot of improvisation and we will be recording every show for archiving purposes and making mix cds to sell on the road. >> coolness. after you get the tour done, contact me about getting one of those for review purposes.... anyway, very cool for posting that. thanks.... PJK please don't hate me because i can't type..... --- All the cool kids are doing it: HTTP://www.EvilSponge.org

I think you guys will really like this: http://homepage.mac.com/manteisrecordings Then click "the . Coldest . Part" link. This is my friend's new album. I think you'll see his influences in his tracks... He's a huge Tom Middleton fan and I think his stuff sounds a lot like global communication... Enjoy it, and reply and let me know how you liked it. xoxo, eric marden http://xenlab.ezrpm.com/ ________________________________________ { egyptian zombie robot party machine } { monday is the new friday } { http://www.ezRPM.com/ } { every monday night, 9 pm } { only at Back Booth -> http://backbooth.com/ } ________________________________________

I hate Gavin
by Matt SchIeffer 13 May '04

13 May '04

As usuall, my boredom forced me to write this essay: why i hate gavin, by Matt Schieffer In regards to the always charming, never brash Gavin, i must admit I truly hate thee. I mean, you get to go to Coachella and see Wayne in the bubble and all these cool gigs and be in possession of a copy of the one Orb show I have been too and its not fair. GIVE UP THE GOODS GAV! The worst part is I he doesnt get mad when people post their "nonce" as our absent unkle long-finger would say, he just keeps on 'truckin' like the hippy who doesnt know how to roll he is. This Prom King (to Rachel's Prom Queen) of the orblist must be destroyed. Someboyd this perfect must have skeletons in his closet, or at least a few custom fitted man-ziers for those weekend cross dressing excursions. I have just heard he may be moving to the same, small, boring Midwestern capitol that I work in and reside near. If by chance I meet this vain, self important, overly considerate man (like Simon Belmont from Captain N cartoon, remember and mother brain and king hippo were badguys) little will he know the deep seeded hatred i posses, lurking just a few epidermis layers below my callow. I do, however, like to see he likes some shitty music like phantom planet and the Rutles... this makes him non-infallable. Matty p.s. Hey GAV! *call me* "Go away. I'm all right." -- famous last words of H.G. Wells, English writer and social theorist

I just noticed that you never see JC and Kwissy on the list at the same time. Just a thought. Welcome back "JC".

<< I mentioned that I'm in a band, right? >> i'm curious Gel-sol -- what do you do in the band? do you DJ/mix them whilest they are palying? how would you describe your band? no wait, i saw your picture on the Gel-sol site -- you guys play Death Metal, right? do you do any Mayhem covers? any chance you could post an MP3 up on the Gel-sol site so we could hear it? and for those interested, i posted the Gel-sol live set that i downloaded from him a while back up on Bi11i's server. G-S, if you're not cool with that i am sure that Bi11i can take it down, but you never said anything when i offered the file up, so we figured that it was cool....
