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

Well said, Sean! Yes, it would have been horrible if we weren't fresh from the incredible Maritime Hall show. Now it seems like a funny memory, but I remember being very disappointed at the time. ---- <swolfe(a)spindlex.com> wrote: > > I'd second Rachel on that, since I was standing right next to her when it > all happened.

I don't recall them at DTE - but I do know they played St. Andrews Hall in Detroit - was it 2001 or 2000? Great gig. Various Orbules DJ-ed before the show. LX was on a vinatge deep dub kick. If the venue on the vid is indoors (can't see it - I'm at work), chances are it's there. The DTE thing is outside and a much larger stage. St Andrews was packed to the gills and deathly hot as well. jeff > Interesting. I knew it was Detroit, But I didn't know > the date. So it was the 2nd Detrot show then.

orb/thrash on wikipedia
by anthony l. bryan 30 Aug '05

thrash's is rather amusing.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orb http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris_Weston Online Persona In the early 1990s, Thrash was known to terrorize Usenet. Around 2003 and 2004, he joined The Orb's discussion list and was so abusive he was blacklisted. I don't know for sure, but I would guess this is the first time a musician joined an online community where he could interact with fans and they rejected him, one of the people who the list was created to follow. actually thats not quite right - some of them loved me but the moderator banned me - something i had been trying to achieve for years! (thrash) and also whoever wrote this ?? i think that is the first time ! whooooooo hooooooo!!!!
