Well it's about time I say something I guess. First time I heard Orb would have been around 92. My buddy had a tape of ABTU. At the time, I was just waking up from American Top 40 land into the world of Metallica, Megadeath, Judas Priest, Suicidal Tendancies, etc (which turned into Nine Inch Nails and Ministry thanks to the same friend). To me 'techno' was all lame boom boom boom crap with some piano chops thrown on top. The Orb is what turned me on to what techno could really be. It was down in my friend's basement, where he had his bedroom cut off from sunlight with garbage bags over the windows. I mostly remember the variety of music coming off of this one tape, and I kept forgetting that it was all the same group. It just went on and on, from dancy fluffy clouds to darkly religious earth to upbeat spanish castles to reggae perpetual dawn to spacey AHEGPB. Blew me away. It was a little while later another friend played U.F.Orb for me, and I'm embarrassed to say that at the time I wasn't impressed (one of my favourites now). It just didn't have the variety of my first experience, it was sliding back into what I thought of at the time as 'techno'. But soon after that I went out and got a double cassette of live 93, and that was the hook. I could no longer escape. Now for my most memorable orb experience - it would be Pomme Fritz. I remember taking a trip down to the city to get it (hour and a half to Vancouver BC), and dropping some acid on the way back. Me and half a dozen of my friends. We got back to my buddy's place, and we were just starting to get tingles. I popped in the CD. We all sat back and didn't say a word for the whole CD. I hadn't had a clue what to expect. It was the weirdest shit I had ever heard, and hearing it for the first time while peaking was mind bending. Probably even more for some of my friends who hadn't heard of the Orb before and weren't into 'techno'. That will always stick with me as one of my best acid trips, sitting back being overwhelmed by the lunacy coming out of the speakers, looking around and seeing everyone else experiencing basically the same thing. We were all shell shocked after that, but it went on to be a good fun trip. Those were the days when I had a steady supply of the nicest liquid, it would come in food colouring vials. It's been years since I've done any, but I'd do it again - if someone I trust told me it was good. These days I mostly just stick to the herb, plus the odd case or 3 of Molson Candian (that's beer for all you deprived people out there in the wide wide world, especially you poor poor yanks). Once or twice a year maybe a little psylocibin. Nothing like the glory days of my high school/technical institute days, when i was on a mission to try everything. Now I have a real job and a house and bills to pay. I'm not grown up (well, I'm 27), but I'm doing a good job of pretending, I think. Anyway, this is long enough. I think that covers all 3 for me: magic moment, my age, and me n' drugs. ps any of you gone and looked at that place tbrnews.org whot thrash posted about? scary shit man. i hate g dubya, and i think it's sad that the israeli's can't see the similarity between the warsaw ghetto in wwii and the west bank today, but i don't buy all that jewish conspiracy bullshit, and i cringe when i come accross a list of 'that guy's a jew, and that guy's a jew too!!'. i suggest that you forget all about that site thrash. it's sick shit. i'm surprised nobody else had anything to say about it, i guess nobody bothered reading it. anyway, i'm all for open debate, and i don't like people who scream anti-semitism as an involuntary reflex action any time someone criticizes israel, but that tbrnews.org place just goes too far, IMHO. just had to say somefin.
I don't really give a fuck about anti Semitism Im not fuckin surprised with the shit Israel pulls Its like a big wow to say jews are this jews are that After holocaust situation Well now they create their own genocide Personally as far the 'jewish state' goes I hate it - everything it stands for and the death it covers up I hate the way it uses the bible to do it The most doctored book of all time possibly I hate the way jewish scholars will admit these inconsistencies in the book But that hasn't filtered down to the general public So basically they are probably on the level of pagan stake burners Anyone who is religious that has not studied the history of the bible Is a stupid thick shit - especially when they go out on the street and try and get me to believe em, even thought they haven't thought it through themselves.. As far as im concerned I think that tbr guy is not anti Semitic at all Hes just another guy highlighting the bullshit in Israel But I don't know - I don't know the guy or anything I just read that press release stuff That was what I was pointing to Which bit of the site were you referring to? Actually of all the races in the world at the moment If you had to name one I'd say the jews The most persecuted - are seen to do the most utter depraved acts Part from the good old US of course.. partners in death to be honest I would not care if this world ended right now cos I just sneaked out of bed with this top bird to make a cuppa tea and I thought id have a read.. this world is just fucked.. fucked..fucked..fucked.. a guy who hates jews? A guy who says the politically incorrect word nigger? (alan you twat - prolly from texas) They seem just like an extension of an Israeli soldier putting a bullet through a small child - one of those bullets that explode on impact... Or of an illiterate president who should be sweeping floors ordering half a million people and the most advanced technological killing machine into a desert to fuck up some really primitive people.. (like himself, easy targets, more oil) Its all the human condition - its got fuck all to do with politics Those politician suckers try to pretend they are clean They way they wear suits - make great pains to cover up Any missy misdemeanour in the past (shes a bitch) They are the biggest stenchers on the planet Shame on them as Michael moore would say The ones that pretend they are different... Another moral level above us - course they get caught shagging young boys all the time Ahh who cares anyway lets just carry on And forget about it... ps any of you gone and looked at that place tbrnews.org whot thrash posted about? scary shit man. i hate g dubya, and i think it's sad that the israeli's can't see the similarity between the warsaw ghetto in wwii and the west bank today, but i don't buy all that jewish conspiracy bullshit, and i cringe when i come accross a list of 'that guy's a jew, and that guy's a jew too!!'. i suggest that you forget all about that site thrash. it's sick shit. i'm surprised nobody else had anything to say about it, i guess nobody bothered reading it. anyway, i'm all for open debate, and i don't like people who scream anti-semitism as an involuntary reflex action any time someone criticizes israel, but that tbrnews.org place just goes too far, IMHO. just had to say somefin. _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb
