Well, big nod over to Shannon for once again brightening up everyone's day. I agree, Bigpipe Style is great, and I love the original Style. Mock Tudor is awesome, best out of all of them. As for everyone who is jabbing The Altogether (there's only one 'l' in it, people!), the friggin album isn't even out yet! I haven't heard anything off it aside from Funny Break, because the video came out. I want to get the single, because you people have all talked highly about the mixes, and because Beelzebeat is a great name. So how is the weather in your parts? It was very warm last weekend, and at the beginning of this week. Now it has cooled off again, oh well. Nice though, hasn't been too rainy or cloudy, lots of sun. And school is out on Tuesday! That means it's the old drive home to Houston (yay!), where I'll be able to see Autechre on May 27 (or something), and then Mouse on Mars on June 13! Kick ass! Mouse on Mars just came out with Idiology, anyone heard it? Is it good? Why doesn't the IDM list like Confield? That's not out yet either. Yarr! All this unreleased music bashing be caving me head in! Yarr! - -Scram !Bang on # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 13:07:38 -0400 From: "Ray Sheen III" Subject: Re: (orbital) new albums.... The problem with your theory about Kevin coming back a month later saying it's brilliant is this: it won't happen. He and I have had a goodly discussion about this, and this album is garbage..... it's by far the worst album they've ever put out, and has even fewer songs then MoN on it that are somewhat redeemable. 3 songs: Meltdown, Last Thing, and the pop mainstreamization sadness called Funny Break, good only if I don't think of it as Orbital...... other then that, this is without a doubt their worst album, it went from a must buy just because it's Orbital to a no way in hell am I wasting my money on that garbage CD..... mp3's work just as good, and this album isn't good enough for me to go out and buy.

Aha. So the Album that you just declared an official failure "only" has four tracks that you like... 8) That's pretty funny, wouldn't you say? Considering the fact that pretty few albums have MORE than four tracks that one actually likes!.. Maybe not Orbital albums, but that still wouldn't make The Altogether "a failure"! >:-) You certainly lack a few IMHOs still in your statements, buddy, even though there was one at the end of that above!..

Gosh, i wish people stopped "expecting" a certain sound and be more openminded! <:-) Okay, so Illuminate or PPV are pretty much totally not the classical Orbital-sound..

I've been following this and i would say that definately MORE people said they liked it than people said they disliked it!.. The ones that disliked it were how many? Three? 8) Four?

Hell, about the same would happen if you played "Quality Seconds" from Sniv to them!.. Hello reasoning? <:-) Pick the bad tracks on an album to try luring people into orbital from the album and hereby declare it a bad album? > But whatever, I have my opinion and you have yours, let's leave it at that. Yes, but it's all down to the way one presents his opinions!.. Half the Internet is about opinions and careful *wording* really is a crucial issue if you haven't noticed!.. If you present your opini on like a fact you'll almost certainly catch flames en masse!..

What are you talking about? Who gave > the Altogether a bad review?? Any URLs? I'll give you a name; Harald Grenne, a reviewer at Natt&Dag (Night&Day) which is a free lifestyle paper here in Norway (to whom very many look for news on clubbing, music, literature, films, etc. you name it...) Anyway, his pathetic review of The Altogether deserves no credit or second notice, not once does he mention any of the songs, he only points out very generally that Orbital have moved on to making music with their devices using only the factory default pre-sets and that the result is lame, has no glow like the old Snivilisation and Brown, etc. and on and on... His reviews suck nowadays (my critique of him is not big on words either), and Ae's Confield just barely made it without being torn to bits. The man shouldn't be reviewing these types of artists when he doesn't know enough to do so. - - end ranting. . o 0 (trym - teeba@start.no <> jazzistant@start.no) - ------------------------------------------------------------ Få din egen @start.no-adresse gratis på http://www.start.no/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orbital" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orbital@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Orbital discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?orbital ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2001 16:50:13 +0200test From: Trym Asserson Subject: Re: (orbital) single > I know this is really bad of me, but I can't > remember who I got the CD for > free from, in the mail, I think it was you and your > band.
