To be honest, I'm not sure that these have been remastered - I honestly couldn't find any information on the sleeve notes (although it was a brief read). >From initial listening, I can hear crackling at the beginning of "Earth (Gaia)" (although that might have something to do with the quality of the "Flash Gordon" sample?) and a glitch at the end of one of the other tracks. So, has anyone who has listened to the "deluxe" edition actually noticed an improvement in sound quality, especially since it doesn't mention "remaster" on the sleeve/notes? Not that I'm complaining, as it's given me an excuse to relisten to these songs again! > > From: "Tim C" > > Can someone who pays attention to sound quality ("MP3 sounds as good as CD" > = don't bother) comment on the quality of the remastering - mind blowing (a > la Rush Signals remaster) or big deal (a la Rush Moving Pictures remaster). > > Thanks, > T ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information

I don't find you comments offensive at all - but am curious....if you knew exactly what was included in the Deluxe Edition Ultraworld (since you are a REAL ORB COLLECTOR) why were you dense enough to buy it (or at least buy it and then complain about it afterwards....) I bought it - loved it. Will listen to it over and over (just like i did with the original Ultraworld, Aubrey's Ultraworld and the first Peel) once i stop listening to the Austin gig over and over (and all the time wondering when LX will release the Orb Live back catalog so I can throw more money his way - because (per Claus) I guess that is what Alex is counting on.) Cheers! Steve "I am actually not very impressed... The CD's are fantastic - as always with the orb... - at least the older 'the orb stuff'... But there's nothing fantastic / Revolutionaly about it.... Every "REAL ORB COLLECTOR" have everything on these CD.... And yes... It might be Digitally remastered - but what the fuck... I guess the orb is turning into a money machine as every other band that is starting t loose fame around the world..." --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Dear Fello Orbsters, just a little message to ask if one of you if you have bought the new special edition of ultraworld, and if you did, wether the remastering has turned a classic into an even more beautiful recording. P.s I dont know why he didnt like it either, takes all sorts though! Cheers all Steve

Hi all... I bought it as well... I am actually not very impressed... The CD's are fantastic - as always with the orb... - at least the older 'the orb stuff'... But there's nothing fantastic / Revolutionaly about it.... Every "REAL ORB COLLECTOR" have everything on these CD.... And yes... It might be Digitally remastered - but what the fuck... I guess the orb is turning into a money machine as every other band that is starting t loose fame around the world... PS: I know I am offenting a lot of people with this statement... But for some strange 'collectors reason' I am still buing the crap my self... I guess that is what Alex is counting on... PPS: What the hell happened to the good old orb... I loved the orbsession, but all the crap on Kompakt... I am missing words... PPPS:... Does anybody know the fantastic industial artist "Leæther strip" or his alias "Klute (Or now a days KlutÆ)"... Has anybody head the new stuff... Buw this rules BIG TIME Enjoy the heat... Claus

re: Music for listeners - Orb Stream link

Hi Orbsters I managed to capture a live stream of it and listened all the way through, from 6am UK time onwards. My wife wasn't best pleased to be woken that early on a Saturday morning! What can I say about the whole 5 hours. Fantastic. In case you all haven't listened to it all yet, there's a real treat in the tracks on part 3 - The Orb version of Sunbird. Awesome to hear this song finally in studio, not live, quality. And yeah I love the live set - like others have said, the version of little fluffy clouds is awesome. I like the sound samples that float in of twinkle and barbie girl too. If anyone still hasn't managed to download the tracks from the links, then I would be happy to upload all 5 parts to anywhere you like, YES even to the Rob Stringer FTP too! By the way, the setlist published is not the setlist for the show, its for an extra few hours of tracks that wouldn't fit into the show - I know because I requested the Orb version of PWEI's Home, which unfortunately couldn't fit into the broadcast, but was kindly put into the extra 2 hours set for download. Thanks MT for putting this together for us all. Now just bring on the KOKO show. Can't wait! Regards Gimberz

Hello again good Orbsters.... M-T again. Glad everyone is enjoying the show. I had fun playing it. I was dog-tired, but I sure had a blast. There will also be....in the next two to three weeks or so, an exclusive podcast featuring more of LX's DJ set and a "wrap-up" of sorts. I wanted to talk more about MY adventures with The Orb, but I also wanted to fit as many songs in during the broadcast as I could, so I just played the music. So again, there will be another item to download in the near future. I'll come on here to tell people when and how to get the exclusive podcast with The Orb. (I did go pretty over-the-top eh???) To clear things up a bit for everyone who wants to listen... The playlist for the Orb show is here http://www.musicforlisteners.com/playlist.htm and you can listen to it in 128kps bandwidth here http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mflstreamhigh.m3u (This link should work in any media player, but Winamp is my favorite.) The playlist and link for the ORBSTREAM (two more hours of Orb exclusively for the web listeners) is found here http://www.musicforlisteners.com/streamplaylist.htm (This link should also work in any media player.) ..and yes...I figured someone would figure it out and post the direct links to the files. So for everyone e-mailing me asking how you can get a copy, Smiley has let the proverbial cat out of the bag...and you can follow his lead to your final capture...you didn't hear it from me though... :D Thanks again, Orb be in you, Orb be out you.... Michael "Skidoo" Thomas Peace...out P.S. Even though you all have direct links to the files...please support MFL, by going to the site and showing your support. Me and my co-host do this show without any monetary gains, so in essence, I paid for the Orb show to be posted for you all to listen. Please go to the website and at the very least give me a site hit or two. There will be more goodness on MFL in the future, so stay tuned. > ...and for those having trouble capturing the stream, > all you have to do is save the m3u file and open it in > a text editor (notepad, etc) - and it will tell you > that the files you need are: > > http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mp3stream/music_for_listeners_2006_07_15_p… > > http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mp3stream/music_for_listeners_2006_07_15_p… > > http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mp3stream/music_for_listeners_2006_07_15_p… > > http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mp3stream/music_for_listeners_2006_07_15_p… > > http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mp3stream/music_for_listeners_2006_07_15_p… > > paste them into your software of choice (streambox, > etc) and they're all yours. > --- > Smiley

Thanks so much for those links. Big help. The playlist only covers 2 hours, but there are 5 hours of audio. I haven't listened to it yet, but I was wondering what the discrepancy was. -----Original Message----- From: orb-bounces+johng=gandm.com(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:orb-bounces+johng=gandm.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Smiley Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2006 2:13 PM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Orb] Music for Listeners - Orb stream link ...and for those having trouble capturing the stream, all you have to do is save the m3u file and open it in a text editor (notepad, etc) - and it will tell you that the files you need are: http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mp3stream/music_for_listeners_2006_07_1 5_part_01.mp3 http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mp3stream/music_for_listeners_2006_07_1 5_part_02.mp3 http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mp3stream/music_for_listeners_2006_07_1 5_part_03.mp3 http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mp3stream/music_for_listeners_2006_07_1 5_part_04.mp3 http://www.musicforlisteners.com/mp3stream/music_for_listeners_2006_07_1 5_part_05.mp3 paste them into your software of choice (streambox, etc) and they're all yours. i thankyou. ;-) cheers, --- Smiley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
