Hey Everyone - Considering I no longer have a turntable, its time for me to find a new home for my vinyl… I’ve posted a lot of stuff on eBay in case anyone’s interested: http://www.ebay.com/usr/byxbee There’s the majority of the BadOrb releases, U.F. Orb (still sealed in its rubber case), Assassin promo with its lovely aqua coloured vinyl, etc. Cheers, Rachel

Moonbuilding 2703 is released
by William Brooks 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

1) Looks like Moonbuilding 2703 is released: Currently listening to 4 of the 7 tracks at: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20709-moonbuilding-2703-ad/ Not that impressed yet. Maybe it'll improve with listening? 2) Further Adventures DVD: I hope that the video clip of "Grandma calling the scratching crew in from the field", makes it onto the DVD. p.s. Talking about Moons: If anyone has friends in UK interested in Icy Moons and astrobiology, please send them to the orb "further adventures" inspired, conference I'm organizing, in Oxford: Think Tank 2015 ~ Search for ExtraTerrestrial Life ~ Europa & Enceladus ~ The Challenges Ahead. 11th July Does life exist out there? and if so, do we share the same DNA and musical tastes?

Moonbuilding 2703 AD - The Orb - June 22/23rd
by William Brooks 09 May '15

09 May '15

1) >>The duo, made up of Alex Paterson and Thomas Fehlman, are due to release their thirteenth studio album, Moonbuilding 2703 AD, through Kompakt on June 22 (though the US will have to wait until June 23). It contains four extended tracks in its standard form, though a limited deluxe edition tacks on three additional tracks, including a tribute to late rapper and producer J Dilla. Moonbuilding 2703 AD is described in a press release as “a major piece of psychedelic synth bliss, obscure loops and deep ambient textures, driven by swinging breakbeats and powerful basslines.” https://news.beatport.com/the-orb-return-with-new-album-moonbuilding-2703-a 2) If you can't wait that long, may I suggest some other musical bliss from our own list member: theORBscureDDJ - http://theorbscureddj.blogspot.com/ "Do Robots Dream" is an amazing, chill-out, musical collection. Selected, edited and mixed by Pete, for your listening pleasure... We are still awaiting for the launch of "Session 24", but check out recent "Sessions 21, 22 & 23". >>Before you know it you will be soaring high above South London, visiting the outer planets, other dimensions and times, before heading home for tea"...<<
