all valid, but what I was referring to was the album "The Isness", which was released 5 and a half years ago. -----Original Message----- From: theREALmxyzptlk [mailto:theREALmxyzptlk@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 10:31 AM To: 'What were the skies like when you were young?' Subject: Re: [Orb] Orb Digest, Vol 62, Issue 3 > more like 5 and a half yearsThat depends on where you stand. Where I stand, it's 10.It always amazes me how much this and the KLF list are trapped in the 90s.The only relatively "new" (and even using 'new' in a relative sense is a stretch) things that get mentioned here are SERIOUS retreads.Jack Dangers has an interesting live video-performance thing going, but c'mon. He's a one trick pony if there ever was one.While I do understand that some people prefer the stylistic mix that was happening 10-20 years ago, it amazes me that these lists seem to exist with little to no exchange and notice of the oodles of music which would *logically* appeal to fans of bands which used to be 'forward-looking.'I love The Orb. I love KLF.But God help the person who turns to this list for anything relatively new and remotely innovative musically.He or she is most likely to be bombarded with Rush suggestions (gag, ack,?!)And THAT is a travesty indeed - at least here.Don't take this as a bitch session - I'm subbed like everyone else, and I can easily bow out anytime I choose.I'm just amazed at how much this feels like a class reunion, where people can only talk about the past and are so busy building the myth of the 'good old days' that their ears are plugged when it comes to what's out there.Five years ago I would have followed this with a long list of things to investigate. These days, I don't have time. And it seems like nobody here is interested in much other than what they already know or something that sounds exactly like what they've been listening to for the past 10 years.It's ironic, really - in that it is quite unlike the "spirit" of either The Orb or The KLF, who both pushed boundaries and went for something new. jeff_______________________________________________Orb mailing listOrb@mailman.xmission.comhttp://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orbReport list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com

I'm certainly not arguing for 'originality,' but the same argument can easily be made (I know - I'm 52 this year) for the period in which The Orb and The KLF evolved. The "biz" has always been there, always invoking categories, appropriating and diluting styles, etc. Trust me (or even better, don't! And GO LOOKING for yourself) - there is electronic music, if that's your cuppa, out there which pushes boundaries and stretches limits, and a lot of it is good, whether techno, ambient, chillout, idm, dubstep, deep house, dubby-tech (I'll just suggest Deepchord/Echospace/Quantec/BVDUB, Sven Weisemann here for examples of dubby-tech) out there. If I can condense this to a sentence (and excuse my preachiness, please): Why settle for a distant pulse when, with some work, you can dive straight into the aorta? And the answer is usually that nobody is *interested* enough to do the work of digging under rocks and in nooks and crannies to find it. Those of us who have always done the work of it know exactly what I mean. jeff good point, well put, but is it us, or the music industry that have made things the way they are, fk we all live in the past, but is there anything really that new out there in a industry full of clones developed to fill a specific market.
