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.

Can I get an Amen (break)?
by egyptian zombie robot 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

This documentary video explores the humble beginnings of the track by 60s funk and soul band "The Winstons" called "Amen Brother" a b-side of their Grammy winning single "Color him Father", from which the ubiquitous 'Amen Break' was culled. The short video takes the viewer thru the journey of the sample through artists like 3rd bass to NWA to Squarepusher and Hrvatski, with solid commentary on the unlikely use of 6 seconds of sound from 1969 fueling everything from the UK Jungle scene to Corporate America's appropriation of hip-hop to sell us SUVs and Shampoo.

Hi all. Got mine today - 'Cheers Colsey!' I want to extract the tracks so I wrap up and put my original away. So far everything I have tried has failed (ms media player/philips jukebox/audiocatalyst) Any ideas folks? Cheers. /|\$Â¥ ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo! Photos http://uk.photos.yahoo.com

XM
by John Wintemute 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

The strangest coincidence - I bought a new car last week (and immediately put my Orb sticker in the back window) which has XM satellite radio in it. I was listening to channel 82 (The System, I think?) and an Orb track from Bicycles & Tricycles came on. I looked at the temperature and it was 82 degrees out and I looked at my speedometer and I was going 82. A sign??? Has anybody else got XM and if so what are the best stations and/or shows at what time? - John Wintemute

"twat farm" and "it takes tea", top stuff ======================================== Message date : Jul 21 2005, 06:20 PM >From : "Matt Schieffer" To : "What were the skies like when you were young?" Copy to : Subject : [Orb] MC Pitman Funny stuff. Thanks to those listees who turned me on to them and GLC. It appears GLC have finally landed in the US because I saw a live performance of them on Jimmy Kimmel live last week. Also, for anyone interested in this sort of thing, last Thursday I was a scab worker at a local music festival. We put together a whole soundstage with only a few inexperienced volunteers. http://www.livejournal.com/users/hydrallus/51213.html Pretty crazy stuff. _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com www.clsm.net -- Whatever you Wanadoo: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/time/ This email has been checked for most known viruses - find out more at: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/help/id/7098.htm

Re: [Orb] (OT) going to Toronto

I'll dig through my links when I get home (I'm out of town at the moment and accessing through my laptop) - my wife and I do Toronto regularly. What a fantastic city! SO much to see, do and eat and plenty of places to buy records. Toronto is incredibly easy to navigate and a cornucopia of splendid, relatively inexpensive places to eat great ethnic foods. The subway/mass transit system is cheap and will take you anywhere you want to be. jeff > > it's a ways off, but i am heading to Toronto in early September for a little > vacation time. looking for recommendations on: > > - good record shops > - good restaurants/cafes/bars > - good bookstores > - anything else really cool to do while i am in the city > > i am staying with a friend who lives downtown near a trendy shopping area called > The Annex, if that helps anyone know specifically where i will be at. but i > will have locals who i can make drive me places... > > anyway, any help is much appreciated. you can email me off-list so as to not > annoy the rest of the people here. > > thanks. > > PJK > > please don't hate me because i can't type..... > --- > All the cool kids are doing it: > HTTP://www.EvilSponge.org > > _______________________________________________ > Orb mailing list > Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com > http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb > Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com
