Fuck The N.M.E!
by David Doree 08 Jun '04

08 Jun '04

The following Is a quote from This weeks u.k.New musical express about B&T; "They took ambient house overground,now It's time to bury It. With such a willfully archaic-sounding album title,Alex Paterson can only be saying "Yes I know you may consider me years out of date,but that's your tough beans-here I am with more of the same!"Because make no mistake,'Bicycles....'is more of the same from an act who have been ploughing the same furrow for so long they'll be reaching the Earth's core soon.And when it isn't the two-steppy 'Gee strings'and the spectaculary aimless wind-chime nonsense of 'Kompania',it tends to be a bit rubbish. But The Orb didn't get where they are today by making vast sweeping formula-fucking changes-they did it by making pleasent,squiggy music that sounds like an aural back-rub when you've taken enough LSD to make a horse think it's a hummingbird,and if that's all you desire,then seek out the warming wave-washes and stream-of-consciousness rhyming of 'Aftermath'or the lysergic 'Ever-Pulsating Brain...'noodling of 'Hell's Kitchen'.It's all,of course,utterly useless if you're not totally pickled on acid but then so is tipping cows,and we all do that"-Pete Cashmore.-3/10. ----Here's my Two pence,Fuck the N.M.E.and Fuck Pete Cashmore.Who the fuck does he think he Is? This comes from a music paper that utterly dotes on Morrisey so much that they give away CD's of his influences,and you can't open It no matter what week without seeing a picture of that twat!- Once again Fuck The N.M.E!-I aint buying that piece of shit again and I'm gonna wipe my back door with that review next time I lay a log!-Fuck 'em! ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Eternity Project One
by -->rachel 07 Jun '04

07 Jun '04

Someone posed this question to me recently, and I have to be honest here, I am stumped! (Yes, its true - there are some things about the Orb I just don't know.) So I'm hoping one of you can help me out... regarding the Eternity Project One cd, are the other artists on this album alternate names for Jimmy Cauty? Or what's the deal? Thanks! =) rachel ------------------------------------ Rachel's Orb Discography http://www.backsideoftheorb.com
