Being a complete and total breaks fiend I couldn't resist weighing in on this topic, and point out that electro means different things to different people. You could be talking about Afrika Bambataa who started the whole damn thing in NYC in the early eighties, or you might mean the classic electro with a capital E produced in Detroit in the late eighties. Or then there's the whole freestyle/ Miami bass scene in Florida that Don was referring to, which was spawned by the monster track "Don't Stop the Rock". Hell, I've even heard people use the e word when referring to Kraftwerk. Personally I just think it's a descriptive term/ style of the larger breakbeat genre. If you are in to checking out some new music that has electro "elements" check out Tipper on the Fuel label, and anything in the last two years by Si Begg (aka Buckfunk 3000 aka S.I. Futures). Depth Charge (can't remember the guys real name) has also put out some quality electroish sounds, as have Uberzone and Freq Nasty. I myself am not familiar with the electrolux label so I hope I'm not misdirecting you, but it sounds like I should check it out. I also have a soft spot for the really old Afrika Bambataa and Kurtis Mantronix stuff from NY. Hope my meandering helps!

OT: question about quality electro

Dear Music Friends, Where should one start when you want to get more into electro...? What are classic electro albums? Drexciya, I-F, Japanese Telecom, Anthony Rother, the Electrolux label, would that be a good point to start? I was highly impressed with Subtonal's "Dark Distortion" cd on Electrolux, which was recently uploaded to CR's ftp. Who can tell me where to go from here...? Thanx in advance; it's much appreciated Steph... -- "Life films us exactly" - Vladislav Delay _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Travelocity.com is giving away two million travel miles. http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;3969773;6991039;g?http://svc.travelocity.com/…

Re: [Orb] Groovetech videos?
by Bbbrooo＠aol.com 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

Jeff asked about Groovetech videos: (Sorry for delay, have been away) - As you have probably found out groovetech have been doing color changes, burn outs, etc, for a while, but as far as I can tell 25th Feb shows the first actual videos. Just short clips between the studio performance: ~ 46 mins, 1hr, 1hr 40 minutes. Looks like london underground/subway, Tron, "live" studio e-mail address, train journey shots, stills, nasa cartoon, etc. Nothing too spectacular but new for his show. cheers bill ps. really appreciate the remix support = just a little homage to the good Dr. Both a hard edged and trippy orb remix in progress, but needing a bit of summer symphony & pastoral weather for inspiration.

(non-orb) BadOrb+other Online Music Sales
by Paul Ketley 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

To orbsters, I'm currently doing my final year of university here in "Sunnay Wulverrr-ampton". Would some of you on the list be willing to answer a few questions about online music sale? I'm interested in anyone, (like myself), who has purchased music through BadOrb / Amazon / Warp Net / Tru Thoughts / any other. There are not many questions I'd like answering - only about 10. If you could send me an email 'off-list' so I can send the few questions to you (no attachments), it would be a great help. Thanks in advance. Paul. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Everything you'll ever need on one web page from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts http://uk.my.yahoo.com

RE: [Orb] More Ayumi trivia
by Don Gagen 10 Mar '02

10 Mar '02

If this is a bootleg, it by far the best I've ever seen. It has extremly complex packaging for a bootleg. The case is inclosed in a high quality full color printed box with a thick full color fitted booklet. The type overall is consistant and flawless. All the images on the box, insert, and CD are sharp and clear. However, mine does not have the the green "stamp" in the lower right hand corner of the cover like the one shown on ebay. Maybe I have the real one.
