Subject: [Orb] THE ORB Q&A ANSWERS FROM LX!! [Bbroo Writes] 1) Is there any truth to the rumour that there will be an Orb DJ (or live) session in an amsterdam coffeeshop for all the orb listees who have supported the band with their hard earned cash throughout the years?...."the dream" (is alive) promotional event, maybe...? NO THERE'S NOT. GREAT IDEA ! WILL ASK MY RECORD LABEL.... ...'kashmir coffeeshop', 'twstd nightclub', 'Sugar Factory' or 'Studio 80' would be great locations.

Does he find himself influencing what she listens to and does she like the orb? YES MIA IS BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS OF MUSICAL INTEREST. GOT HER A KEYBOARD FOR HER BIRTHDAY . SHE LOVES LITTLE FLUFFY CLOUDS ! 4) Is it true that a certain ex-orb member (heavy metal fan) has always been an egotwisted twat or do his deep psychological problems spring from the day he was locked out of the studio? NO COMMENT 5) The day before this, was Alex repeatedly playing a simple sine sine wave when he was told to f*off by this same individual and thus ended his orb involvement? CAN'T BE BOTHERED , HE LEFT 13 YEARS AGO ... STILL THINKS HE'S SOMETHING. 6) Does Alex foresee any future Orb presence in online virtual worlds such as Second Life, etc, or does he think it's a load of crap? BEEN THINKING ABOUT DOING GIGS ALL OVER THE PLACE IN ONE GO , BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE OFF WITH THE FUTURE. 7) Does he ever use an erbthc vaporizer, if so what is his preferred setting? NO , 8) What would be the cost for the Orb to play at a solar powered Total Eclipse Party on July, 22, 2009 in Nepal or Northeast India? YOU'RE HAVE TO TALK TO THE MANAGEMENT. BUT THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL. WENT THERE IN 1992 & GOT SOME BRILLIANT SAMPLES IN THE JUNGLES OF NEPAL & NORTHERN INDIA, [Rachel] Could you please ask him about the backwards lyrics at the beginning of Majestic (if they were intentional, etc.)?

[Brian Kinney] 1 - His thoughts on the state of the music scene. cut up & eaten up , by the majors , destroying our life styles & having no spirit. 2 - His thoughts on digital distribution vs hard media. past me now, still 21st century here we go 3 - What's he listening to right now? the sound of my garden , my cats , jets , and the computer humming. 4 - Where does he see himself in 20 yrs? hopefully still here & enjoying football, music & my family ( no 1 ) 5 - Should we still be expecting an Orb dvd? leading question, I have a plan ! look out for malicious damage off shoots ..... 6 - What's his Xbox Live gamertag? (I'm sure he plays Fifa) sfx snow boarding .... wipe out is the bomb [Anthoney Bryan] this may be a touchy subject, but I'd be curious to know which time period with his former partners (thrash, andy, witchman? are there more?) does he regard as most productive/best, and would he work with them again? (in light of his working with cauty & youth again, & fehlmann as a mainstay). also, who are his favorite one off or part time collaborators? 1/ jimmy Cauty (88-90)--- best time ! 2/ youth (90-92)--- best time as well ! 3/ thrash(92-94 )< : ( : ( sad. 4/ thomas fehlmann (90 to present ) ---- best time. andy hughes(95-99) ---fun times . simon phillips as bass player from 92 / 03 ---- best times. witchman ( 00- 03)------ very dry times ! fil le gonidec ( 82 - present ) ------ still having a laugh. tim bran (05-present) ----- more best times . youth (o5 - present ) --- back to the best time ! [Gel Sol]Ask him when he's gonna release Orbvs Terrarvm Part II and Orblivian Part II. Also, ask him if he sampled the opening bassline fromthe Eagles "One of These Nights" for The Passing of Time. orbvs planned for next year & there's extra tunes too. maybe one of these things that happen in black ink.

[John Goerner] Maybe ask him about Pomme Fritz II? that's a universal idea.... [Dave & Ross] Will The Orb touch down again any time in the near future in TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA? played on vancouver island not so long ago/ may as well been mars if you live in toronto. when we go to the states next year hopefully we will...
