From: "Dan Grodzian" Subject: (orb) ORB in Portland and more... Date: 01 Aug 1997 15:49:49 PDT Hi all... I just found out that the Orb is playing in Portland Oregon at La Luna on august 13th. I've got the tix so it is no rumor. La Luna is located on 215 SE 9th ave in downtown Portland. We got our tix at ticketdisaster ;( for $21 but you can get tehm for $17.50 at the box (I think). Show starts at 9 till.. Also the orb is playing the Gorge in George, Washington on the 12th of August. They are part of the whole Lollapalooza thing. Lolla was supposed to go on in Portland but they cancelled, so we were gonna go to the Gorge just to see the Orb but I was bummed cause I wasn't too interested in seeing the rest of the lolla lineup. Next thing I know the Orb is playing lead at La Luna. Go figure. Good thing I did not get lolla tix. Praise Jah...

Once as the opening act for The Chemical Brothers and the second time on their own. (I couldn't go to either show courtesy of The Project From Hell....) If they do have any summer shows, I would be there for sure. I want to take my sweet to see them because I simply can't describe their visuals in enough detail. =) -Steve -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Steve Shah (sshah@cs.ucr.edu) | SysAdmin/Coder/Gabbernaut/DJ/Writer/Minister http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~sshah | We're not dropping out, we're infiltrating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I feel...

This Monday night (10 PM), KCET 28 is showing the last episode that highlights the development of electronic/dance music and features a brief dialog with Alex. I think possibly PBS stations across the US are showing it as I saw an episode when I was back east a couple weeks ago. Hopefully someone will tape it for those wishing...I'll be back in South Carolina again, so even I won't see it :-( Maybe someone can comment ... when I first saw this years ago, I thought LX was sitting in that Golden throne that's inside the Adventures (or is it UFOrb ??) jacket cover. Maybe just my "foggy" memory.

And I thought Deadheads were annoying. Hmmm. In any case I was able to see both the Philly and Boston shows last weekend. The set list was identical, except no encore in Boston. Boo. It was, in order ..Spanish (I'm told, couldn't figure it out), Terminus, Blue Room, Bedouin, Delta MK II, Outlands, Pulsating Brain, LFC, S.A.L.T., and Toxygene. Philly had a long "disco" type song (sounded a little like Chic) pumping away for a few minutes in the middle of the show, but Boston got a long wall of noise (kinda My Bloody Valentine-ish, sounded beautiful!) right after Blue Room. Both shows didn't really seem to catch fire til Delta MK II, but quite amazing from then on until the end. The Philly show was fun, but the Boston show really was 10 times better, mostly due to the fantastic sound at Avalon. It got deafiningly (sp?) loud at times, yet was still crystal clear and didn't hurt the ears at all. The crowd was also more enthusiastic in Boston, maybe because the Philly show started at 7pm and the Orb played at 1am, whereas the Boston show started at 9pm and the Orb came out at 1030pm. Of course, I will have very fond memories of Philly because I found the U.S. CD5 of Perpetual Dawn in the first store I wondered into, and it was very affordable 9.00. One question: how come LX has remarked that Bedouin is a spoof of Deep Forest, who he doesn't like, but sounds exactly like Deep Forest? Anyone out there will to sell a (homemade) tape copy of the Aubrey's Mixes? E mail me privately of course. And how come no one has talked about Jo the Waiter on the Gary Numan tribute double CD? Also, anyone out there like Spiritualized? When I saw them last year, I thought they sounded like a "rock" version of the Orb, with an amazingly clear wall of sound that just sends you into a another level. Maybe when you're sober, too ! They will be touring the U.S. this month, keep an eye out for them.

What I am interested in is what the most popular orb song amoung the fans is?.I know some of you will probably go on and on about how we shouldn't try and classify orb songs and that the outcome will show and prove nothing.True,but I would like to know and i'm sure many of you would also like to know what the most popular song amoungst us list members.If you are interested could you please e-mail me just saying :my fav orb song is...... If I get a good response I will place a top ten on the list for everyone to see the final results.I will wait a week or 2 so those on the digest can get an entry as well. pward Turnpike evaluation.

I agree with this whole msg...I thought the version of Blue Room they played this time around kinda sucked; too random, not really danceable...I really liked Terminus, but I didn't think it lent itself very well to live play.

BTW, Fehlmann *WAS* there that night, walking about the floor and up on the balconies doing some filming with this little video camcorder thing. Neat device. He was very intent on filming Sun Electric, so I didn't bother him. Nearly ran into Alex on the floor as well, and it took me a sec to realize it was him. He's a fast walker, though, and made it quickly backstage before I could trouble him with my DAT demo....

We finally bought a house, though...)--a triple CD set called The Serious Road Trip ("A Serious Dance Experience"). This was a British import (I'm in the U.S.) from 1994. Well, the last song on the second CD is from the Orb, and it's called Plateau (of Normality), a variation of Plateau from the Orbus Terrarum cd...but it's about 2 minutes longer, and completely remixed.... The cd says everything on it is exclusive, but has anyone else heard this? How rare is it? It was a cd which was in support of SRT (a children's charity working in Bosnia). The other artists on it, for those who care, include (and I've never heard of 3/4 of them) Hardbad, Laurent Garnier, Leftfield, The Dust Brothers, Secret Knowledge, The Aloof, System 7, Finitribe, Higher Intelligence Agency, The Drum Club, Lion Rock, Spooky Versus Chapterhouse, Loop Guru (that track is F***ing AMAZING!), Banco De Gaia, Transglobal Underground, Pressure of Speech, Ege Bam Yasi (nope, it's spelled that way...), PIP (DIY), and Orbital. I completely forgot I had this. I was opening some boxes down in the basement, and found it (as well as several other CDs/cassettes).

We already had some beers in the afternoon. Weather in London was great and we had five days to spend so at wednesday (we arrived in London at eight in the morning) we enjoyed watching people as we sat outside a pub. We met Smiley at six and he took us to a very nice pub for a few(!) beers. And some more beers. We talked a lot about The Orb (of course!) but also a lot about the UK, working, the Spice Girls (and yes, Smiley knows them all by name) and much more. About two hours later it's getting difficult to walk straight and we decided to split and have something to eat. We had dinner plans but ended up with a whopper meal in our hotelroom because of all the beers! The other days we did a lot of shopping (a lot of record stores!) and went for the Essential Music Festival on saturday with Massive Attack, Aphex Twin, Coldcut, Death In Vegas, Red Snapper, Herbaliser, Fluke, 808 state, Dub Pistols, Grooverider, Goldie, Doc Scott, Propellerheads, Squarepusher and loads of other acts and DJ's. Six tents, lovely weather and a very friendly crowd. >we're off record hunting together on friday.....i wonder what he thinks of me? A legend: I don't know A very friendly guy: that's for sure. Smiley spents most of his sparetime (lunchbreaks!) finding records for other people from all around the world!! It was nice for me to know a shop at camden market wich have an impressive Orb section that Smiley didn't know about. They got almost everything from The Orb and related projects. All kind of promos, other very hard to find stuff. As I got almost everything from The Orb I did Found a live tape at Camden Market from the Glasgow concert at 20th march 1997. No other new Orb stuff for me this time. Realy enjoyed our stay in London and meeting Smiley.

Just after the bridge you turn to the right (when you turn to the left you ended up at the Dingwalls building) and walk through a very small street/alley.

I'm glad they're not affiliated with something like that... To whoever was talking about Spiritualized, I've only listened to it once so far, so it's not a fleshed out opinion... but I hear a lot of spacey semi- psychedelic influences.

Date: 09 Aug 1997 01:28:01 +0600 Hi, I've been on this list for some time, but haven't posted in a while. For me the orb is all about two things. Dub, and samples. When I hear dub that sounds like the orb, I love it (mainly the basslines). Also, when I hear groups that have a similar style of sample choosing/execution, I love them. My question is this: Are there any other groups that have similar dub tendancies, and use samples in a simlar way that the orb does? I guess I'd go for "either or", but it'd be great to have both (but I guess there's only one Orb). I've heard of Bill Laswell, and I know he's supposed to be the best, but I haven't heard much of his stuff. Also, I've heard vols. 1 & 2 of the Macro Dub Infection CDs, but only liked a few tracks from each. Anyway, I'd appreciate any input as to where I should go for more orblike tracks.

I've heard of Bill Laswell, and I know he's supposed to be >the best, but I haven't heard much of his stuff. Bill Laswell is -hardly- the best. While a famous producer of a number of big names in the 70's rock scene, Laswell has also had a certain degree of underground popularity with the 70's noise/jazz scene where he made albums with Sonny Sharrock, Fred Frith, etc. Since the early 80's, he's put out albums mimicing whatever flavor of electronic music has become popular, from his release Praxis - 1984, a blatant ripoff of Art of Noise's 1983 Beat Box to mid 80's electro-soul (Material's One Down) to his more recent Axiom Ambient and Jungle LP. Rarely are Laswell's releases more than competent investigations of a genre -- they're nearly always listenable, but almost never innovative, groundbreaking, or "the best of the genre". If you want the -best- LP of sampling in the Orb's style, you need to pick up "Music With Sound" by the Tape Beatles, which is all sampling and no dub but is a frequent source of samples for the Orb's various albums. signed: ESCHATFISCHE, david h t t p : / /w w w . f i s c h e . c o m (esch@fische.com) -------------------------------------------------------- # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: techip@vossnet.co.uk (Techip Hippycritter) Subject: Re: (orb) Orblike?

The Washington Post ran a report on this subject on February 15, 1995. Based on information from the RIAA, Billboard Magazine, and elsewhere, they broke down the $11.99 street price of a typical hit new-release CD as follows: $ 2.00 Record-label profit + Executive salaries $ 1.40 New artist development $ 1.15 Distribution $ 1.10 Manufacturing (CD + artwork + jewel case) $ .85 "Other" $ .80 Performer royalties $ .65 Songwriter royalties $ .65 Advertising and promotion $ .35 Producer $ .30 Recording costs $ .25 Music videos $ .20 Managers and lawyers $ .10 Artist pensions ------ $ 9.80 Wholesale cost to retailer + $ .95 Miscellaneous retailer expenses $ .90 Store personnel salaries $ .75 Rent ------ $12.40 Total cost to retailer $11.99 CD price at retail $ .41 Loss to retailer These figures make it clear that everyone but the label is getting a royal screwing. Label profit, salaries, distribution (usually label-owned), manufacturing (label-owned again), and "other" (a.k.a. "hookers and cocaine for the label VPs") add up to $6.50/disc -- or more than half of a CD's retail price. The people who actually make the music (the performers, songwriters, and producers) get less than a third of that. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: pward Subject: (orb) stuff Date: 11 Aug 1997 17:17:17 +0100 In message , Dan Grandpre writes >it's not too rare... as you'd know if you had the remix project 2CD, >-dan > > I didn't know it was was on this as i don't have it and don't want it.I don't view this release as an orb release and the mixes I have heard are a bit flat.What do other orb fans think of this album? pward Turnpike evaluation.

Date: 13 Aug 1997 08:31:32 -0700 Thanks to Carlos for reminding me about what my last post was...this is the worst time for me right now (I work at a college, and the semester is about to begin!), so my brains are a bit fried. Back on August 4, I believe, I sent a post regarding a mix of Plateau (subtitled "Of Normality") from a triple CD set from "The Serious Road Trip"...it's something I dug out of one of my many boxes from the basement.... Anyway, since my server was down for a week or so, I didn't catch any responses there might have been regarding this. Is this track available elsewhere? Or is it relatively rare...?

I'm listening to it right now, aamof. Definitely ambient, lottts of samples.... Compared to 'other' Orb discs which are dancier/upbeat, Pomme Fritz seems to me to have more of a surreal spoken word flavor to it. there's definitely a message in it, and coupled with statements I've heard from Dr. Patterson himself, leads me to beleive that everything we know is wrong or at least not what we think. Mostly that, whenever we think they're about to zig they zag, and when we think a zag is coming they zog! All in all, Pomme Fritz(meat & veggies) 'filling' in the suttle side of insane chaotic structure. As for my altered perspective, when I use to dabble in paper products, Pomme Fritz left me feeling like I was floating through clouds over a vast terrain of lights and pools of water, where most other tracks/albums had a more down do earth/stomping my feet through city effect. Pomme Fritz picks me up on the dessert plain where Little Fluffy Clouds left me and flies me to LaLa Land for my next session! I Love that place!

Music for Babies is *great* - very Eno-esque, not many beats. This is not the case with Howie B's new effort, Turn the Dark Off. It's also a great, but has lots more funky grooves, less "spacey" soundscapes than Music for Babies. If you're into the Eno ambient stuff, definitely check out Music for Babies. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Catinosboy@aol.com Subject: (orb) first post Date: 14 Aug 1997 11:39:26 -0400 (EDT) hey....

The theme is dehumanization. Picture if you will the future vision of Terminator - a metallic wasteland of digital nightmares where vapid robots stalk and destroy their human creators. Picture it? Ok, come with me on yet another psychotropic journey... Our spirits were lightened and the short hop down the Garden State Parkway was a joy. Ion navigated the route to the Electric Factory while I participated in a heavy electro shock therapy of Orblivion. Just then, Ben Franklin's spectacles were spotted, peering over a large warehouse near the 676. "Dorothy, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore", Toto barked. The Electric Factory was juiced up for a night of thumping and chugging to wide open filters and madly fluttering oscillators. The mass of teeming youngsters downstairs were meticulously perched in the ozone. Tiny ziplocked bags passed precariously from hand to hand on the dance floor. The vacuous stare from dialted pupils was enough of a window into the soul to succintly summarize the situation. An ultra humungous guitar was suspended from the celing. In someones twisted imagination, the Jolly Green Giant would undoubtedly come out to play it. Upstairs, silent Japanese animations played in a never ending rhthym of zooming and panning to still shots. The distinction between reality and fantasy has certainly been skewed. The hazy duel for control of the beats ignited on the dance floor. Silhoutted by the runway of strobes, the frenzy of wildly flailing bodies broke down into recongnizable form. Sun Electric had taken the stage and forged this misshapen chaos into their distinct brand of Euro-justice. The arpeggiator on the Korg Prophecy squealed in analog ecstasy, like an electric Porky Pig. Their colloquial talents were, indeed, of the highest order. My mind raced across the altered soundscape at alarming speed. Was I lost in the rhthym or was the rhthym lost in me? No one professed to know the answer. The trancey sounds continued to hypnotize the 3,000 or so travellers present. The congestion on the floor reached maximum levels by the time the dubious dubsters, The Orb, had taken control of the spaceship. They set a course straight for the heart of the sun and locked it in at warp speed. What followed was a blistering set that once again redefined the Orb experience. Walls of distortion took a reefer spin through the galaxy before colliding with monstrous beats. The Mk's were glowing hot as the devilish Patterson spun on. Vinyls melted on the sacrificial alter to the techno gods. Hughes set the blender on purify, mixing thunderous chunks of alien sounds into a hedonic soup that the sinful audience swallowed by the gulpfulls. Oliver Twist screamed out from the crowd for "Seconds!!", and the Orb obliged - encoring with an adrenaline fueled rollercoaster ride through Assassin. And then it was over. The sound died and we buried it forever in the grave of our memories. Bathing in post modern bliss, I took refuge on a couch on the outskirts of the floor and swept my mind into a lullably. The sweet music danced in my brain as the virtual seconds ticked off Father Times clock. The unicorn dream invaded my thoughts and I bounded for the light at the end of the tunnel. I awoke in a mechanical nightmare where horn beeping, gasoline guzzling metal monsters ruled the land. I was stuck in the choked traffic artery of Boston - another helpless victim of the "Big Dig" and in danger of missing the follow-up Orb show at the Avalon...

Actually, I'm willing to wager that the 6:10 "Pal Joey" remix of LFC is identical to the 6:10 "Cumulonimbus" mix (which is credited as being remixed by Pal Joey) that is available on the US LFC CD5 (and on Aubrey Mixes).

It's a weird place, fun to visit, quite expensive but it's worth it. I send you this letter in two parts : the albums, and the Mont Fuji Orb concert review. OK, I'm broke now, but I'm happy because I found some gems. Gutlane "Firething" on CD ! The Aubrey Mixes on CD ! New electronica Unreleased 1 with the Geep ! The Japanese CD version of the White Room (KLF) ! Hosono Haruomi : Mental Sports mixes ! UFOrb the 2CD version ! But no YMO vs the Orb :( There's a Japanese version of Sun Electric "Present" with a bonus track "Satys". Actually, it's a track available on the vinyl version, but in Japan, you have it on CD. I remembered that there was Global Communication " Maiden Voyage" mentioned in the discography. I found a 2CD Japanese version 76 14 + maiden voyage. 76 14 is a very cool ambient album, and the maiden voyage remix album has remixes by Jedi Knights (Global Communication), The Grid, Michael Brook and Spiritualized, plus a track called Funk In The Fridge. Too bad the Orb remix wasn't released... You can find used records shops in Akihibara (Tokyo), a giant Tower Records ( a real tower !) in Shibuya (Tokyo), a Virgin Megastore in Shinjuku and Ikekuburo (that's where I found the Aubrey Mixes. I couldn't believe it !). Many techno records have been released domestically in Japan, with added tracks (mostly from singles). You can e mail me privately if you want to know about a specific artist. Maybe I saw something you never heard of... There will be a Japanese edition of the Gong -You remixed (released August, 20) called You 1.5 I think it seems to be a best of Gong You 1,2 (the 2CDs released) and 3 (the forthcoming one mentioned in the booklet), because it will feature remixes by Ken Ishii. Don't know if the Orb, Youth and System 7 remixes will be different. Watch out for the Mont Fuji Orb review.

Yes, it is a set of remixes from Adventures Beyond the UltraWorld. Amongst the better of the remix sets to come from the Orb, IMO. It went out of print pretty quick from my understand but was rereleased for a very short period of time about 3 years ago. (That was when I got my copy.) Check with Ear Rational Records to see if they still have any left. > And why is it out of print? Adds value to the record. ;) btw..

[4 minutes] [voiceover] Even with all this diverse wealth of sounds, some were still looking for that perfect beat. Approaching the 90's came bands that would push the boundaries even further with 15 minutes soundscapes, montaging samples and sequences which seemed to sum up the musical adventures of the 80's. ["Blue Room" plays over imagery from the video, and Dr Alex swings into view on a dentist's chair which has "ORB" down the back and is spewing smoke in reverse :)] [Dr Alex] In the earlier part of the 80's, there was still this undeniable urge to release records with choruses and verses even in dance music. Fortunately, bands like Run DMC came along, and using a huge 808 bass sound, which no-one had ever really heard as a bass drum before recreated this whole new sound which became the bass and drums, which to a lot of people who listen to reggae, would be laughing, because to them, that's what it was all about in the first place - the bass and drums. ..used to get these tapes sent religiously from NY - Friday night KISS-FM tapes - Chuck Chillout and Chef Pettibone (?) who later on became producers - producing people like, even Madonna, shall we say. He was doing things to New Order that I'd never heard before, you see a connection when you think "I really like what Derrick May is doing, why's it sound so different?" Then you find out he like Kraftwerk, that's an answer. House was another ball game entirely, it became ... [unintelligible] to me it became, I got eaten up by it... [section of the "Summer of Love"] I've never seen 20,000 people in a field with no... no real supervision, so many different types of people in that club, all really loving each other. Well, DJ's took over the part of being "the band", without actually being seen as a band... you could, again, go to a club and become the band by dancing to the DJ's music, that's where the Orb started off. [Little Fluffy Clouds starts to play, @ 2:27minutes] The mixing desk itself, live, has become another instrument with us, but it's used to do a different, totally different purposes. One is to make a completely different arrangement out of something that's been made in the studio in the first place. We then moved it forward and put a live drummer on stage with us, which is played through the mixing desk, and a live bass player and a live percussionist. Now we've started experimenting from doing 12 minutes takes to doing like 40 minute versions live using technology and old instruments together. [voiceover] Although a total break from all the established pop rules, this new ambient sound was to earn the Orb 3 platinum albums. [Dr Alex] The feel I've had for music has been to travel and finding different types of music, anyways, that's a lot of influence for me, music from around the world, be it from South America, be it from India, be it from Asia, be it from Africa [end] -- Chris "Saundo" Saunderson Chris.Saunderson@adelaide.maptek.com.au Technical Support Engineer Telephone: (08) 8379 7333 Maptek Pty Ltd Fax: (08) 8379 7377 Powered by Linux, Jolt and the Orb. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BluRoom@aol.com Subject: Re: (orb) Ok...

I don't know about the original release date but I am sure of the brief re-release because that was when I bought my copy. Shortly after that, the UK version of Ultraworld made its rounds in US stores as an easy buy. Before either, I couldn't find the UK version of Ultraworld for less than US$30. (I ended up finding it for US$17 at a Tower Records... Go figure...) One might even argue that the Goa mix of Spanish Castles in Space was the precursor to what has become Goa trance. (Maybe it was "Goa Dub" without realizing it? ;) Either way, the album rocks. For all practical purposes, the remixes are so entirely different than Ultraworld that you may as well consider it a new album. Well worth the money if you can find it. -Steve -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Steve Shah (sshah@cs.ucr.edu) | SysAdmin/Coder/Gabbernaut/DJ/Writer/Minister http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~sshah | We're not dropping out, we're infiltrating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I feel...

B4 review by Melanie McFarland How exactly to you assess the merits of a good dance party? that's the puzzle you have to unravel when you see the Orb, a London based band that turned La Luna into the hottest chill room in town Wednesday night. Whatever sentiments audience members left with that evening, however, most couldn't deny that The Orb's ambient music affects a temporary transformation in listeners. You might want to go home and watch some surreal animation. reality just isn't good enough for you. Any trepidation that skeptics might have about the encroaching electonic revolution would have been quashed had they been in attendance. If the Orb's concert was an example of live electronica at its best -- and many would say that is was -- then we should be thankful the future is pulling into the gate. For one thing, bloody noses at an ambient music concert are pretty much out of the question. most Orb fans were too blissed out at the musical and vusual treats to be concernted about petty things like spilled beers. [my note: La Luna doesn't allow alcohol on the dance floor, but oh well.] Also, electronica, by nature, is pretty much a science. Granted, computer systems crash, things get erased, etc. The Orb's concert, however, was smooth as silicon, yet far from predictable. Finally, in the aftermath, electronica concerts tend to be much less stinkly than grunch concerts. Go figure. The Orb's concert was live Memorex, but creatively used live Memorex. Alex Paterson and Andy Hughes melted sound clips together beautifully, bathing listeners in sticky-sweet music they could move to. There was a definite Chicago house music groove going on, particularly earlier in the evening when DJs Mestizo and Jesse James spun the wax. The Orb crashed this into a variety of styles, from ambient dub to jungle-flavored techno. Some riffs gave you and indication of what was being playe,d but the Orb experimented so mcuh with the framwork of songs that many sounded drastically different from the recorded version. When the sampled shriek of Minnie Ripertons's "Loving You" on "A Huge Evergrowing Pulsating Bran That Grows From the Center of the Universe" rang out, for instance, it elicited cheers as dancers got ready to catch a groove. The Orb spun that classic and the early morning favorite, "Little Fluffy Clouds" along with penty of older material. Its new album, "Orblivon" ruled most of the evening as The Orb highlighted the concert with extended versions of the single "Toxygene," "S.A.L.T.," "Secrets," (with its trippy weather girl blabberins) and the subliminal-message-laced "Passing of Time." Projections of skies spattered with cotton-candy clouds melted and reformed on the background screen. So did numerous colorized wildlife and anthropological figures, smiling old men's faces morphing into those of a beautiful and disaffected-looking young model, and a computer animiated diapered infant, gyrating with the smoothness of a rave queen. Clips of pepper, carnival style "commericals" broke the two hour concert into digestible bits so the audience didn't collapse from nonstop dancing. Often the breaks provided laughts as well, with one "commercial" sounding like a barbershop quartet singing a song that consisted only of the word "beer." More to the point, it was the best party going in town that night. No matter how unusual and preened the beautiful young things in attendance looked when they came in, most were wilted with sweat when they left.

He kinda faltered a bit after that with a patchy album and a few singles before disappearing for a year or two. then came the limited "28 gun bad boy" LP, a bit of a seminal drum-n-bass piece from when most of the scene was still engaged in hardcore silliness. Then last year (or 95?) came "Black Secret Technology", a widely acclaimed drum-n-bass opus, and a smattering of tracks on Breakbeat Science albums etc. Sorry I can't remember more details as I don't own either of these albums, but he's definitely a well respected man in d&b. "Voodoo Ray" was recently the subject of a re-release with remixes, but most of them were pretty crap imho. According to this month's MUZIK, he's embarking on some work with David Bowie. oh well.

The (14 1/2 minute) version on "The OOBE Adventures" is about three minutes longer than the version on "Anthology," which fades out early.

'agcg' is actually Gerald Simpson, from Manchester. he was one of the founder members of 808state, but left after the classic 'quadrastate' lp. he's a pretty prolific artist, and has released far too much stuff to list, as well as running his own record label(s), and doing loads of remixes. he was responsible for the classic 'voodoo ray', amongst many other tracks.. his last album was called 'black secret technology' (or something similar). however, his most recent work has been been with David Bowie's flirtation with drum 'n bass. hmmm. -- Smiley # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Smiley Subject: Re: (orb) Asylum Video Date: 21 Aug 1997 10:47:58 GMT andrew writes: > I guess I am just wondering if anyone saw it and if they may have any info on > it? from the promo video: Director: Benjamin Stokes Animation: Adrian Dimond, Doug Carney, Kathleen Judge, Robert Bial Produced by H-GUN Labs the artwork and video were inspired by: 'A Journey To Mars' by Nikolai Prusakov & Grigari Borison circa 1926 ttfn. -- Smiley # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: derrien@mail.club-internet.fr (Jean Christophe Derrien) Subject: (orb) A guy called Gerald remixes Date: 21 Aug 1997 09:56:47 +0100 I was hooked by AGCG's works with his Orb remix. But no one mentioned that Alex Paterson quite remixed his track (added voices about "what happened to some dollars", cool sound effects) "Hekkle and Koch" (and not " When you touch me" as mentioned in the booklet) in "Textures", his mix album. I listened to this track every day for a long period. "Black Secret Technology " (I have the updated version) is a really good jungle album, I like it more than "Timeless"'s Goldie, for example. I also have a CDS of "So many dreams" (Aquasky remixes, album, original and remixes versions). And he did two other remixes : One for David Bowie "Telling Lies" (strange) One for Tricky "Piano" (the green stinky mix) in Makes me wanna die 2 Hope that helps.

At least make an *effort* to buy the things. Not accusing, just suggesting. What you have to do is dump the output of your MP3 player to disk as .WAV format. I don't know what Windows programs do this, because I use Linux, and mpg123 works perfectly for me. I can, however, suggest a reasonable (and not quite illegal) reason for burning MP3s to CD-ROM. Household network jukebox service. I have a small server here in my house with heaps and heaps of ISDN 128K RA dumps of selected tracks, so that from any machine in the house, I can spool the music without having to run around loading CDs everywhere.

With some providers, theres an actual cap on the amount that can be reasonably transfered per day... when I put the Aphex AB 5 realaudio file up for the Donkey Rhubarb page on my ftp site, that cap (200 megs transfered/day) was GREATLY exceeded, which has run my isp bill up quite a bit... no idea if this could be the same with the server that the OAA is on, but with those big files, its something to consider...

S.A.L.T. another surprise but they didnt fuck this one up as much as they could/should have 11. toxygene this one came from another world that i pray i never inhabit... according to that reprint of the oregonian review they played passing of time as well but i dont recall thats it for now happy orbing j justice # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jonathan Gray" Subject: Re: (orb) The Gorge Date: 22 Aug 1997 17:11:38 PDT >Did anyone get a chance to see the Orb headline at the Gorge in Washington >last week?

I was there it kicked. It was weird half of the people left after tool but all the orb fans came down and started waiting, watching them set up for the orb set. It was a 3 sided triangle with white plastic on the bottom half to project images on to and in the middle of it were some turntables synths and samplers. When they stared play everybody went nuts and started dancing. They played an 1:15 min set in it they played little fluffy clouds toxygene and a few others off there new album. The crowd loved the way the orb pulsed in and out ambient music giving them time to catch their breath. After the set was over everybody tried to get them to come out and do 1 more song to no aval. The Orb was by far the best set of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DO recall seeing an Orb video probably five years ago (I was just out of college), but I can't remember for what song...it was on 120 Minutes on MTV (I was flicking through the channels, and came across it)...it was all computer graphics, from what I can remember; something like a dolphin in outer space, or something like that? I don't think it was Little Fluffy Clouds, but something else, maybe? Now, THAT was a cool video. (Devo always had cool videos, too... amongst the few who did....) Anyway, if anyone could tell me what it was I saw, I'd appreciate it. Hey, here's a lame question for y'all: what, exactly, is "dub"? The Orb refer to their second album as "ambient dub", and I've heard others refer to the term. --Vince # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: John Goelzer Subject: RE: (orb) MTV get off the air!

If you're referring to "Asylum," I have to disagree.

That would be "Blue Room," which, while it might have looked cool five years ago, looks terribly dated now, IMO.

Alas, they didn't play here in the Midwest, but at least I got to see DEVO. The Orb - by Larry Harmon With the release of "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Center of Ultraworld" in 1989, The Orb created a groundbreaking new genre in electronic music: ambient house. The tracks bridged the gap between the two styles, defining it with slower-paced, softer sounds, combining an evolved disco beat and soulful divca vocals. This single would go on to influence a younger crop of musicians with its female vocal samples, sounds of flowing water, swirling bells, chirping insects and dance rhythms with minimal beats. But the band members haven't allowed themselves to be pigeonholed into one sound. With an evolving group of musicians and engineers (which have included members of KLF, System 7 and Killing Joke) revolving around core member DR Alex Paterson, the group deliberately crafted other styles and sounds, most notably on 1994's dark "Pomme Fritz" and 1995's psychedlic "Orbus Terrarum". The band has also shown staying power, averaging a new release every year in a scene where collaborating musicians often disband and reform under a new name with a new sound with each new release. Anyone experiencing The Orb for the first time may be underwhelmed at first. There's no front man or leader to train your eyes on. Instead, you'll see twon men behind a bank or sequencers, keyboards, mixers and turntables, all being used with the same mastery and skill traditional musicians would have over their instruments. But The Orb is able to achieve things that a conventional band cannot. They can transform the one-way flow of energy from the band to the crowd into a circular pattern that feeds upon itself. Responding to a crowd's reaction with their sounds and mixes, they combine the use of lights and film to work up the crowd or to chill them out with slow transitions between dance and ambient. Although The Orb is accustomed to playing in front of large US audiences, both the group and the audience with reach new dimensions together. -- =========================================================================== =__ __ __ _ __ _= Andrew Krieg - Software Engineering Consultant = =_ __ _ __ _ _ __= E-mail: krieg@execpc.com = =_ _ _ ___= WWW: http://www.execpc.com/~krieg = =_ __ _ __ _ _ __========================================================== =_ __ _ __ _ __ _= Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee - Astoroth = =========================================================================== # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Smiley Subject: (orb) 'orb in pub' meeting...

LX was the DJ (ie, mixed in sound effects between tracks) on the Ambient Collection disc, and Youth did the remix of various AON songs called Art of Love that closes out the album. Nothing particularly orbient. I remember thinking, back in 1990 when The Ambient Collection came out and ambient hadn't hit the states at all yet, "Who is this joker "Youth" and why on earth did they allow him to profane my Art of Noise?" Shortly thereafter, I bought Adventures and became a KLF freak at the same time... and my record collection has never been the same. signed: ESCHATFISCHE, david h t t p : / /w w w . f i s c h e . c o m (esch@fische.com) -------------------------------------------------------- # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ndurham@earthlink.net (n8) Subject: (orb) assassin 12" Date: 27 Aug 1997 18:24:21 +0100 does anyone have the assassin 12"? having just received a copy, i've noticed that both sides are labeled side two - u.f. orb/bandulu remix. the actual pressing is correct, just the labeling is mixed up. did this happen on all of the pressings or am i the only person who now has an added element of confusion when trying to pull records? --n8 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Dan Grandpre Subject: Re: (orb) assassin 12" Date: 28 Aug 1997 04:43:31 +0300 (EEST) On Wed, 27 Aug 1997, n8 wrote: > > does anyone have the assassin 12"? having just received a copy, i've > noticed that both sides are labeled side two - u.f. orb/bandulu remix. the > actual pressing is correct, just the labeling is mixed up. did this happen > on all of the pressings or am i the only person who now has an added > element of confusion when trying to pull records? i have it also... side two is indeed that track, but side one is assassin - oasis of rhythms mix, correctly labeled.. just got a dud printing, i guess. -dan g # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Zed6and789@aol.com Subject: Re: RE> Re- (orb) hello i'm new Date: 28 Aug 1997 00:12:08 -0400 (EDT) In a message dated 97-08-25 04:22:58 EDT, you write: << Orbus Terrarum is one of the top ten albums of all time.

High Y'all? And a friend of mine is convinced is Dimethyltryptamines. [DMT] Here's how Terence McKenna describes it, A spoken word piece accompanying a recording by Zuvuya DMT is an extraordinary hallucinogen that lasts only a few hundred seconds at the peak of the flash. It is something which is smoked. Something waxy. Orange. Smelling of camphor. You vaporize it in a small glass pipe. Something which is smoked. Behind closed eyelids, a kind of hallucination forms. A chrysanthemum -- a swirling floral pattern. Overlayed patterns of colours. You watch the chrsanthemum and if you've taken enough DMT, after about fifteen seconds, you are physically propelled through it. into a kind of tunnel-like space. You seem to be catapulting forward through some kind of labyrinth-like, tubular, unfolding, coloured, fluctuating space. And after a few seconds of this, it is as though you arrive. The trip stablizes itself around you. At that point you in a kind of domed, indirectly lit, comfortable, underground space. But, what is astonishing about this space, is that is is inhabited, it is crowded. Jewelled, self-dribbling basketvalls that bound forward, Chirping fractal denizens of the unconscious. They surround you, singing in a visible language and they use that language to produce objects. Sculptured, jewelled machines. Things made of precious stomes and metal. Agate, Topaz, Chalcedony. All kinds of precious materials. But not stable. Morphing. Transforming themselves. Matter somehow imbued with the spirit of language and imagination. And these elf-like, gnome-like artisans crowd forward, each offering their own creation for your inspection. Follow these entities, these hyper-objectified linguistic objects. It's terribly important that you learn to do this. They are the initiators of the human species into a new ontos of language, where meaning is beheld. Use your voice. It only lasts a few hundred seconds. Meaning is beheld. Moving festival of light and colour from beyond the pale. Some kind of a look over the edge. The after death world. Pre-natal World. Some kind of a look over the edge. Pre-natal world. The presence of these entities on the otherside of this pharmacological energy barrier raises a number of questions. Are they true beings? True Aliens from another star system, gently approaching us? Are they true Aliens Hiding behind the mask of an intoxication? Perfect interfacing of dimensions? I prefer to think, however, that we are encountering an ecology of souls. Shaman, I am. Shaman, I am. D.M.T. is all of these things. It is like a hyper-cosmic carnival in your mind. The boy in the bottle, the goat-faced girl. I somehow shattered the membrane between myself and ordinary space. I carried the trip into the room with me. Very rapid transmission of data. It only lasts a few hundred seconds You awaken from a dream. I can see it clearly, after a time I think it sticks with you. The details. Some quality of seeing and understanding. A domain of dimensions. Some kind of connection...Blue Spirulina...Seeing and understanding.. a dimension has been added to ordinary perception.. And you will have the complete experience in the dream. It's in the body. You can do this on the natch, it is (no farther away than deep sleep -- these truly titanic dimensions are looming in on our pathetically conceived rational future) Outrageous possibilities lie immediately at hand and are virtually only a toke away.

Some country, huh?) Oh, to make this Orb-related...I broke down and ordered a copy of the Toxygene single from a distributor in Pittsburgh, for $6.99 (average, I guess).... Like I told another list member, shipping was $5.00, so I at first said, "Forget it," but decided to ask what other Orb items they might have. My jaw hit the floor like a Tex Avery cartoon when he came back and told me he had a copy of the Perpetual Dawn cd single! I said, "Ship that bastard here right away! I don't give a rat's fat *** about shipping charges!" Indeed. Which means I now have...two. Anyone have anything they might want to trade?

It is on the Volume 17 magazine/compilation. It is a remix of "Big Sky City", different than those on "System Express". It doesn't have a formal name, so I just called it the volume mix. If this appeared anywhere else and has a real name, please let me know. [Big Sky City] [on Various: Volume 17] 2xCD: 1996 UK (World's End; 17VCD17) [w/ 192pp. book] 7:53 Big Sky City (volume mix) If there is any interest, I could type up the 5 page System 7 article as well. By the way, this is a great compilation featuring new tracks by Curve (when is their new album coming out?), Cocteau Twins, Throwing Muses, Elvis Costello and many, many more.

Anyway, it's called the Millwall, or Milliwall Mix. It takes samples from Monty Python's Life of Brian, instead of what's on the UFOrb cd. My complaint is the sound quality, which is atrocious, in my humble opinion. It's pretty much the only track on the whole 2cd set which sounds this bad. Does anyone else have this compilation?

Now what, exactly, is the difference between the U.S. and British editions? Why, exactly, do they want me to shell out around $15 U.S. for the U.S. version, but $25 or more for the U.K. version??? Also, is there something on file somewhere which shows specifically from which sources the samples on Orb titles are taken? For example, one song (I forget which) uses a sample which is along the lines of, "He's the best boyfriend a girl could ever want," which is totally creepy and cool--has a kind of Charles Starkweather and Carol Fulgate kind of feel to it...gotta love that! Anyway, have a great Labor Day weekend, those of you who celebrate it. --Vincent # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: strout@roch803.mc.xerox.com (Sean Strout) Subject: Re: (orb) Week.

The printed song times on the back of the CD are incorrect for the US version (I believe...).

Having just dubbed all of the Orb stuff I've picked up over the last year onto tape, I can say, without fear of contradiction, that the times on the U.S. version are correct; it's the ones on the UK version that are wrong. (They seem to do this on every album: either the US or UK version has incorrect times. (They seem to alternate which one, IIRC)). Also, the album artwork is slightly different. As to why they would want to sell you (us) both versions, the UK version is mainly for completeists. In addition, the UK version was available a month or two before the US version, if you had access to a good source for imports. (I picked up my copy of the UK Orblivion less than a week after the UK release at Virgin in West Hollywood.) The $25 price tag for the imports is due to the inflated price of music in most of the rest of the world (besides the US) (or is that the depressed price of music in the US?) :) On top of that, add the costs of importing, and $25 is *almost* reasonable.

I'd like to trade it for something (I'm aware that it's not all that rare) or someone could just pay me for it. It's priced at 5.95 U.S.... and you'd have to pay for shipping. As with everything, I'm always up for a straightup trade for the Aubrey Mixes, and that is, indeed, american sarcasm! ;) L8r -Charlie Still listening to... _________________________________________________ The Cure The Orb Dinosaur Jr. Mark Eitzel NIN _________________________________________________ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Reverend bluE Subject: (orb) YMO mixes.

I still am, and I haven't even heard it yet. I also have a 12" from this release, but I got that a few weeks ago, and sadly, there is no orb on it.
