OK I got to the bottom of things just a bit. The "Lamacq Sessions 2001" are in fact the "Evening Sessions" on the BBC compilation release. My version here contains 1 extra track that I believe has no title. The "Plataeu Sessions" seems like it's going to be "Unreleased Plateau Remixes" though I haven't vetted all of the tracks yet to be sure. That just leaves me with this "30 min improv session" to figure out. The only track I quickly recognized last night was a version of Toxygene. I'll report back when I know more. Thanks much!

Brixton Academy bootleg question
by polar-sequence 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

As we are so busy chatting these days: J I recently bought the Brixton Academy 23 October 1992 bootleg. At first glance, it looks like I received a CD-R copy of the bootleg. It's definitely not a factory pressed CD, and the label Pickwick Music is printed on the CD itself. Before I start bashing the seller, can anyone confirm/deny that my copy is a bootleg of a bootleg? Regards, Johan

Wow.....this list really is slowing down. Months and months are covered in just one orb digest. And this is going along with the Orbserver release taboot! Has everyone left or are we just tired? lol Anyhoo.....sad to see RMS STRINGER go. He's surely butted heads with people here in the past but I'll never forget the FTP server he offered to our community which was such a great service! Cheers! QUESTION - I don't have the "BBC Sessions" CD yet and I'm wondering if I don't already own most of it in some form. I understand part is the Strange Fruit Peel Session but my question revolves more around the "radcliffe, evening session, lamacq" portions of the compilation. Some of that rang a bell so I just went to my collection to see what I have. The strange thing is that I found a few discs worth of music I can no longer identify online. Here are the titles: -The Plateau Sessions -Lamacq Sessions 2001 -30 min improv session I know these were all downloaded somewhere on these interwebs....yet I can find a single note about ANY of them. I have no written tracklisting and I'm terrible with song names so it's going to take some work for me to put something together. Are any of yall aware of these 3 that I mention? One google search turned up a message to this list from 3/6/01 saying: "...don't forget that The Orb have FOUR session tracks being played on Steve Lamacq's show tonight and tomorrow between 8-10pm on BBC Radio 1 in the UK. i'll be recording the tracks for upload to an ftp site (probably Chain Reaction) as soon as i can. Smiley" Anyone have any ideas at all here? I'm totally lost! All the best everyone - and wake up the Orb still rules! ;) Ken

I bout the Blu-Ray of this event and I am BLOW AWAY by the quality1 I have a bit of a question though. Does anyone on here have a complete and accurate track listing of the audio? The 84 or 87 minute set broken down by tracks. I have the audio and it is very incorrect with some of the songs that i know. Here is the one i have Tracklist: 1. Intro 2. Prey 3. Want 4. Drifting 5. Allelujah 6. Killing Ground 7. Never let me down again 8. In your Room 9. Uranokemia 10. Warm Leatherette 11. Heartbeat Interlude 12. Stalker 13. Faith Healer 14. Shunt 15. Jezebel-Walking in my Shoes-Are Friends Electric 16. Personal Jesus Now i have seen a 17 song list and a 19 song list as well but both lists have incorrect naming of songs. Any and all help is appreciated. -- RMStringer +++++++++++++++ Spacetime is a game board. In a moment you will see what you have always been - Unknown
