For those who don't listen to the show, the headline set (which I imagine will be the orb) is usually about 1am. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/inside_r1/comingup.shtml Can I also take this opportunity to let you guys know about my Sun Electric 'O'Locco' (1990) (MWS 020T) that i've put up on Ebay.

Date: 01 Feb 2001 10:18:04 -0600 > Any new good remixers (and remixes) > according to you ? I can't stay quite on this one. For my money, the best remixers ever are Trevor Horn and his Building Theams circa 1982-1985 (Frankie, Art of Noise, Propaganda, Grace Jones, Yes, etc.). Dr. Dre's remixes of old Death Row material (his solo stuff, Snoop Dogg, etc.) were similarly incredible. Both of them went beyond well "remix" to basically record newer, longer versions of the songs, which seems today to be a sadly lost art... not even Trevor or Dre make the effort with their more recent output... On the more recent tip, I've found Depth Charge, Luke Vibert (inc. Plug, Wagon Christ), Plaid, Weatherall to do consistently interesting remix work, along with some of the folks like Cornelius, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Fila Brazillia who have whole remix compilations out... I'm sure there are some I'm forgetting, though...

Dublab is one of those hellacious, navigate-via-javascript-icons websites, so it took a while to find Alex's set (although the searching revealed that they have a lot of other material that sounds quite interesting...). Alex's set is similar to the others he was doing at the time, although the part I listened to seemed a bit more slow and dubby than usual. Probably worth checking out. To save others time, here is how to get to Alex's set, after you are at www.dublab.com: Click on these icons, in order: Audio tank Guest DJ archives Downtempo/experimental Then find Alex's 9-1-00 set a ways down the frame. As a shortcut, this link will spawn a Real Audio browser window that plays the set, so you don't have to wade through the site. http://www.dublab.com/skins/openskin.asp?SkinName=Archives&File=dtemp/orb.rm&Title=Dr+Alex+Patterson+Mix As an even shorter cut, this link seems to be the actual address of the set, which can be used in the Real Audio player, rather than as a browser plug-in: http://platform.smash.tv/ramgen/dublab/dtemp/orb.rm Dublab seems to have the usual protections to obfuscate their RA server, and I played around with Streambox VCR, but wasn't able to capture the set...anyone else want to take a crack at it?

For me the NME paled into insignificance compared to Sounds and Melody Maker - unfortunately Sounds and Melody Maker died leaving the NME on it's own. Only the good die young? I always found the NME appealed to the lower end music lover, the 13 year-old who'd just discovered "Music and angst" as opposed to "chart-pap, bells and whistles and the Bob-the-Builders of their day". More sensationalist and rumourist, the NME was always looking for the next big-thing compared to it's rivals and then giving them a slagging when they sold a few records. It's album reviews always had a rating - which meant you didn't have to read them (a good thing?) whereas Melody Maker was far more constructive - even when criticising - and you had to read the album review in FULL to find out if the music was appreciated. In short - NME hate Cydonia - No surprise. Nobody lose sleep. Paul. __________________________________________________ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Sorry, got to take issue with this....not that I read NME anymore, but I did do for a few years. I always found the NME to be pretty good, far preferable to the horrible Sounds, and better presented than Melody Maker (from which the ink always ended up all over my fingers). And more importantly I don't think it caters the lower end of musical tastes, it certainly didn't when I read it (85-95ish). If you want that then read Smash Hits (or 'Look-in'...remember that?). I always found an abundance of very good articles about my heros of the time.....orb, KLF, new order, that sort of thing. OK, so the NME don't like Cydonia, that's just editorial. Reviews are reviews, just ignore them I say. It's what you think that counts... Incidentally, if anyone wants to read a very very good book about Rock n Roll hellraisers (sid vicious, iggy pop, brian wilson etc), then look no furher than Nick Kent's 'The Dark Stuff'. Kent was an legendary NME writer for years and the book is really enjoyable, honest. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: orbette Subject: Re: (orb) Review of NME Date: 02 Feb 2001 06:39:06 -0700 Forget the lot of them...

It's a map of the Gold and Ivory Coasts of Africa. The map appears to be from some time during the middle or late slaving period I'm guessing because of all the notes on tribal populations. Most navigational maps wouldn't include this sort of information unless there was a reason for it. Although most of the map is written in Latin I think it might be either Portuguese or Spanish, most likely Spanish, because of the way the coastal names are spelled. The island in the lower right corner next to the compass point convergence is São Tome (Saint Thomas) of São Tome and Principe in this modern era. The Latin phrase at the top of the picture is "LIBYA, where is the so-called SARRA" (presumably a reference to the Saharan Desert). The map on the front cover is English, and is a navigational map of the region around the mouth of the Hudson river, at the time when much of this land was owned by France. I'm not sure about the ones inside the book. Thought you people should know... :) 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

If the people who bought the CD-R's then subsequently didn't buy the released issue, then yes, I would agree with you, but nobody (in their right mind) is going to bid for an expensive pre-release item (and believe me, it probably would have been expensive), when the release date is 26th February worldwide?? In short, the only people who could possibly be interested in buy a pre-release CD-R would be a collector such as the people on this list. l8rs, Nick King ;-) > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-orb@lists.xmission.com > Subject: RE: (orb) [Fwd: eBay Auction 1407033451 Cancelled - Results > Null and Void] > > I work for a computer game company and whenever I see bootlegs of our > products I report them to E-bay.

Anyone can report CD-R auctions, and they *will* be ended. eBay also uses automatic scripts to find such auctions for review by an employee. A lot of CD-R auctions get ended; it is an unfortunate risk of actually being honest about what you are selling. :/ To get around it, some sellers use terms like "CD acetate", "internal promo", or other such leading phrases. I've also seen sellers make no mention in the ad of the nature of the item, and then tell you after the auction is over, and give you the choice to complete the auction or not, with no ill will if you don't. What really pisses me off is people who sell CD-Rs, and don't tell you; you find out when it arrives. Of course, if a refund isn't forthcoming, there are lots of ways to make their lives interesting, even without doing anything illegal or immoral... ;) (For the record, while I have been known to report CD-R auctions to eBay, I don't report "official" CD-Rs, especially for the Orb!) ;) Chris np: The Beautiful South - Miaow # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: laerm Subject: RE: (orb) [Fwd: eBay Auction 1407033451 Cancelled - Results Null Date: 05 Feb 2001 13:05:08 -0500 (EST) On Mon, 5 Feb 2001, Don Gagen wrote: > I realize that.

It's nothing like Beta testing. In any case I bet you have windows whistler or whatever Microsoft's latest Beta is still installed on your PC.... now if it was a CDR copy and someone was trying to pass it off as a promo then that's understandable because the buyer is getting ripped off. I can understand how record companies COULD get pissed off due to lost sales, but really - how many copies were made? 20? 30? 200 tops. They weren't made to be sold on, but if someone decides to then big deal. Hardly thousands of pounds lost due to lost revenue....... Realistically Island are going to generate MORE sales because of people selling CDR's. that's one of the main reasons for CDR's and Promos doing the rounds. It gets everyone talking about it. Just out of Interest - has anyone heard any of Cydonia/Once More played on the radio? I would guess that the radio companies are top of the promo lists. I know John Peel is a big fan and has been from the beginning, but I'll be honest - I never listen to the radio......... I've been stiffed with a CDR once - but it was a copy. All these Cydonia CDR's on Ebay are proper releases [in so far as promos are "proper" releases] NOT copies. Now if you bid for it and get a CDR copy, then you've got a right to be pissed off. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Chris Johnson Subject: Re: (orb) [Fwd: eBay Auction 1407033451 Cancelled - Results Null and Date: 05 Feb 2001 10:15:28 -0800 laerm wrote: > > well, then you've got a problem with the label and record stores. if i > remember correctly, _orblivion_ only got _obscure trax_ attached to it a > few months after its release. and then if you went and tried to buy > another copy of_orblivion_ to get the other disc and then didn't get one, > then that's the record store's fault. Orbscure Trax was released shortly (like a couple of weeks) after the US release of Orblivion. It was limited (the number 1000 has been bandied about, though I think that is perhaps low), and was supposed to only be available with purchase of Orblivion. Most of the copies went to a few select record stores (I got mine at the West Hollywood Virgin Megastore, which had at least 100 copies), although some went into the regular distribution channel with copies of Orblivion, and I'm sure a bunch of them went to various media outlets. Unfortunately, a lot of smaller record stores (that only got one or two copies) unbundled Orbscure Trax from Orblivion and sold it separately. :( Chris # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: marcolphus Subject: (orb) Orb vs Ozric Tentacles Date: 05 Feb 2001 19:13:17 +0100 Wouldn't it be nice if Orb will remix Ozric Tentacles???

I was a little miffed, because I was a loyal orb fan that went to the nearest (didn't matter what store or price) and get Orblivion the day it was a released. But still being a loyal orb fan, I would buy orblivion again to get the orbscure trax CD, and give my current copy to a friend (an orb is not just for xmas, it's for life). when I went to the store with the flyer the clerk to it in her hand, and read it, then said to one of the other clerks or managers "we got another one of these..." then turned back to me and said, we have know idea what this is about, I don't know anything about this promo..." Did the Tower kiddies, plunder the disc for their own collections? was this a hoax by some mad flyer maker? or was Tower pulling my leg again? and unfortunately, I had to scrounge through the used bins until I found a copy and plunked down $10 for a pretty used disc. slightly miffed..

Well, it looks like inconsistency was the only constant. There were numerous reports of stores only getting a few copies, and as I said the Virgin Megastore in West Hollywood had over 100 (that I saw)...and they ran an ad in the local alternative weekly for the "buy Orblivion and get Orbscure Trax free" offer. Anyway, given the numbers we've seen tossed about, I'd be surprised if there were only 1000 copies made; 2500 is seeming more reasonable.

The new profusion of female vocals is even more ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What the hell is this guy ranting about? Is the defining tone of modern music supposed to be unlistenability, or what? Does this guy live for loud screeching fingernails-on-blackboards and cat-versus-band-saw sounds? Barf! > regressive with single Once More, featuring chilly Japanese singer > Aki, even suggesting the cheesy futurism of an '80s car advert. And anything's wrong with cheesy futurism? I've always found it somewhat endearing, frankly. Like the optimistic hopefulness of a seven-year-old as they explain what they'll do to achieve their goal of becoming an astronaut. This man has forgotten what it's like to have fun. Typical of most critics, I think. > Strangely, given that 1998's UFOFF greatest hits collection revealed > what a good pop band they were, the new song-based approach doesn't ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Bleah. Quite frankly I didn't like a number of the tracks on U.F.Off, particularly because they sounded too much like something approaching loud, raucous, tasteless pop music. > throw up many memorable hooks. Worse, the lyrics see their old daffy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Huh? Since when has ambient music needed fscking 'memorable hooks'? It's not like LX and crew are trying hard to appeal to a mass market, here. If they were they'd be on stage in skimpy clothes and makeup gyrating to beats stolen from 70s disco, and singing lyrics about how they want to plug girls and do drugs. That'd be appealing to the mass market. Boy bands, that's what the masses want. Faggy boy bands and lone girls with tinny voices singing about how they like to frustrate young boys. My brain is hurting from thinking of LX wearing metallic clothes and gyrating on stage with Britney Spears. :P > humour replaced with drippy pretentiousness. Moments of excellence - The lyrics on previous albums weren't. Weren't lyrics, that is. This is the first time any of LX's tunes have featured lyrics. A comparison to any previous lyrics is ridiculous. He's comparing the lyrics in Cydonia to things that he imagines in his head, not actual reality. I'm all for living in one's head, but not for inflicting it upon other people and calling it fact. I believe that's called delusion. > the fuzzy, menacing cruise of EDM and calamitous stomp of A mile lump ^^^^^^^^^^ Ooohh, I'm smarter than you because I can take a latin derivation and give it an atypical suffix to make an adjective from it that will lose all the lesser educated people and prove that I'm obviously superior and my opinion matters much more than Harvey the Drunken Asshole that pukes on your shoes while you wait for the bus. > of lard - dont dispel the sensation that the psychic voyager remains ^^^^^^^ This man has lard in his head. Personally I'm of the opinion that AMLLOL was put on the album just to irritate people like me who get too sucked into the watery ambience of LX's other creations. > stuck in the backwaters. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Whoever this pretentious fuck with the overstuffed vocabulary is, he's the one stuck in the backwaters -- of pop music. This guy got a degree in English and a job as a critic because his resume was unreadable from all the high-flown latinate vocabulary. Just what people want from a critic. Just what I've come to expect -- lame abusive noise unless it's their favorite band or whichever one they've been paid to crow about. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, critique. Those who can't even critique become managers. Critics are a lower life form than even politicians and entertainment executives. Actually I rather enjoy people posting critiques here because it gives me a chance to vent my pent-up frustration with the stupidity of the general public.

Yes, yes, yes, but they had originality on their side. Others are just repeating the same thing, to no new advantage.

I'm objecting to the other garbage. I certainly wasn't dissenting with LX, but with the critic. I was calling into question his personal frame of reference and his right to impose that upon other people, primarily by doing the exact same thing to him. > The Orb is(has been) a perfect blend of beats and ambience. If you're > irritated by one or the other, then you can't_fully_appreciate the music. You took that bit too seriously. The fact that the critic thought it was one of the best tracks on the album was what I was dissenting, not the fact that it was a bad song. I'm not enamored of AMLLOL but I certainly don't dislike it. It is rather hard to concentrate with that track in the background, but if I pay attention to the track I can certainly appreciate it. > hey, I was born here ---------------------->Anchorage, Alaska, > I guess you're not all that bad ;) You missed an interesting winter... It's been warmer here than in many other parts of America. There wasn't much snow on the ground until a couple weeks ago. Odd. To disabuse anyone of notions they may be forming of me with regard to my criticism... What I was doing was criticising the critic for not being openminded by being entirely closeminded about his opinions and erroneously comparing his opinions to my own. I hate critics because they seem to think that the world deserves their opinion, and that their opinion is much more important than everyone else's. I also like to let off some steam now and then... :) Opinions are like assholes -- everyone's got one, but they're not always meant to be shared.

It's a 12" on Blue Room Released [UK] titled "Nitrogen Pt. 1 & 2". So I picked it up. It certainly does have that Orbish sound to it. I know that LX worked with Juno on the last album as well as the tour we saw, but I hadn't picked up any of Juno's material yet. Since the discography hasn't been updated yet, maybe somebody could help with some info on this release. I don't remember anything being mentioned here previously. The Lisa Stansfield 12" and Spectre 12" have come my way in recent weeks. Long time finding these. Sunday came across a 12" of "Bellbottoms" by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion on Matador. (OLE-111-1) Thought it was only on a 1995 album so it was a great find. Passed on the info to Lazlo. Regarding the "Eternity: Project One" album. Does anyone have or has anyone seen this album. I just get blank stares when I ask about it. I haven't even heard of anyone getting a CD-R on this one. I'd like to hear some reviews of it. Last question goes to our UK brothers/sisters. What is the scene in the UK with finding used CD's and vinyl? Lots of shops?, easy/hard to find?, give us the lowdown.

It is extremely OOP. It generally goes for well over $50 when it shows up on eBay, which is not very often. Finding a used copy in a shop, particularly in the US, would be very unlikely. It isn't very compelling musically (largely late 80's cheesy pop-techno), but is an essential document of it's time if you are at all into the people represented...LX, Youth, Jimmy Cauty, and Thrash, just to name the more obvious ones.

Visible spectrum wavelengths measure from 700nm for red to 400nm for violet. Using the speed of light as the velocity (3x10^8 m/s for our purposes here) and the handy dandy formula of freq=velocity/wavelength gives frequencies of 4.286 x 10^10 Hz (red light) and 7.500 x 10^10 Hz (blue light). The range of the values is 3.214 x 10^10 Hz. Human sound spectrum measures from 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. (But what we’ll do is increase this spectrum range because we’re shifting sound frequencies to visible spectrum frequencies and we’ll want to be able to visualize outside our audible hearing range). A 10Hz tone would be pure red. At the top of the range a 25000Hz tone (or however high you want to set the limit) will correspond to pure violet. So while listening to a 10 Hz sine wave, you will not hear 10Hz but you may feel a 10Hz vibration and you may visualize the corresponding the 700nm wavelength light. A pure red. Using the ranges of the visible and the audio frequency spectrums above, for every 1 Hz change in sound frequency there will be a 1.286 x 10^10 Hz change in visible frequency, which corresponds to a .0002 nm change in wavelength for every 1Hz change in sound frequency. But this is just to map sound waves to visible spectrum. Frequency shifting could go reverse to try and hear what we see. Or hear what we don’t see. Or see what we don’t hear (as I described above). For example we could try to hear/see what gamma ray bursts actually sound/look like when shifted. We could produce an image/sound texture of any signal being detected… gamma ray bursts. Maybe using 21cm H radiation as a standard for frequency shifting. And even more interesting is the onset of 5.1 digital sound. With this one could create a surround sound/visual environment. Blues and violets flashing from the right when you hear the high-pitched sounds coming from that location in the sound environment. Mapping the image of sound in a 3D environment and then using that to create the corresponding light frequencies and their sources in the x,y,z coordinate plane. For musical purposes these frequency shifts can be done at the multitracking stage so that each track or layer of music can correspond its specific frequency range for shifting. When sequencing analog synthesizers one can layer and multitrack each piece that makes up the overall sound collage. One track may emphasize lower frequencies and one may have sparkling highs. Shifting them as separate sound sources to separate visual outputs and then overlaying the resulting the visual outputs will have better clarity, resolution and frequency mapping than doing a frequency shifting of the overall mix. Also interesting is the use of MIDI commands to change functions of the frequency shifting. For example a synth lx uses has a low pass filter cutoff as well as a resonance which adds emphasis to the filter cutoff frequency. Used together they create a very interesting sweeping sound. There is also a Low Frequency Oscillator that can control various modulations such as pitch, amplitude (volume), and frequency. Altering the LFO speed and the LFO frequency modulates the rate of change of the modulator being controlled. Imagine the visual images you could create… # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Steve Shah Subject: (orb) thearchive.org is bavck Date: 07 Feb 2001 14:31:51 -0800 Fixed some bugs.

But CD audio (and hence most other digital audio formats) usually restrict to between 20Hz and 22KHz.

You will have to quantize appropriately to whatever device you have for displaying the colors. Doing this for an analog output wouldn't be very easy. But there are digital full-spectrum programmable LED-based lights that you could use for such a purpose. Color-Kinetics makes the C75 Digital Full-Spectrum Light. See http://www.colorkinetics.com. I'm still thinking of getting one of these to play with ... they look like lots of fun. I have too much work to do to carefully go through your post right now, but I promise to read through it later and let you know what I think. I can already see the possibility for a simple computer program to scan incoming frequencies and produce the appropriate color washes. This would be similar to those computerized oscilloscope eye-candy toys that have been around for some years, but instead this would be entirely abused by lighting. Another random idea I had was making a MIDI controller for these lights, but that's a different story. :) 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

This means doing a "cd Orb" takes you to c:\music\Orb or something like that. The mirroring tool I used needed to use absolute references so that it wouldn't get confused. Thus the %3A (':'), etc. As for site availability -- it's going to be tempremental for the next few days. All of your different machines, different browsers, and different locations (and different scans...) are provoking bugs that we hadn't seen before in a lab environment. This is good. I'm also doing nasty things from my desk so as to provoke boundry cases. All in all, don't expect a reliable connection for a few more days. Often the box stays long enough that a person with a T1 or DSL should be able to grab a few 50M files before the site freezes due to some other (often unrelated to the simple downloads) problem. But if you have the bandwidth, you should see a few hundred Kbytes/sec. =) The T1 to my office allows me a comfy 130Kbytes/sec. download. -Steve On Thu, Feb 08, 2001 at 12:39:27AM +0100, Marcus Endberg wrote: > Hi Steve, > > Marcus Endberg wrote: > > I can ping/traceroute/dig your machine at 216.136.221.166 from here and > > another location, but every attempt to establish a http connection is > > refused. > > Just a fex minutes later, it is working ... > > Only some of the filenames look very odd - I mean such as > /orb.thearchive.org/oaa/c%3A or those with whitespaces (%20) within. > > > - Marcus > -- > "I haven't lost my mind -- it's backed up on tape somewhere." -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Steve Shah (sshah@planetoid.org) | SysAdmin/Coder/Gabbernaut/DJ/Writer/Minister http://www.planetoid.org | We're not dropping out, we're infiltrating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life is best measured in beats per minute.

I was a little busy last fall, but hey, it's not too late. Anyone up for a new survey? Send me your top 10 bands, _besides_ the Orb. Post to the list, or send directly to me if you're bashful or people start complaining. When the traffic dies down, I'll compile a master list and post it. If you want to review the last two surveys (and see if you contributed), check out the web site below.

Now someone says this is because of a standard? blech... What IS this standard? What is it for? Do you have to follow it to get played on the radio in the UK or something silly like that? If someone knows about or has a link to some info about this, I'd like to know... becasue whatever it is, I don't like it very much ---- Jeff A Klein Bottle has zero volume, so we suggest that you do not use it as a personal flotation device. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Christjan Jordon" Subject: (orb) thru the orbvine Date: 12 Feb 2001 13:09:48 -0800 This is from my friend in Canada! -xjan. "In addition to the upcoming album, Paterson is launching a record label, Bad Orb. Beginning in March, the Web site www.badorb.com will post an audio sample of a new track, selected by Paterson, which will be available for purchase as a 12-inch for exactly one month before it is deleted from the site. The first song offered by Bad Orb will be by the Berlin electronic duo Sun Electric, followed by collaborations between Paterson and longtime mates Guy Pratt and former Killing Joke member Fil, who worked on "Mile Long Lump of Lard" as well as "Spanish Castles in Space" off the group's 1991 debut, The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld." # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Nick King" Subject: RE: (orb) ORBULLETIN: Once More release Date: 12 Feb 2001 21:56:47 -0000 So, what happened to the Cauty mixes as advertised on the mailout? Also, the "FT Explores Satan" (aka LX) mix?? Incidentally, the mailout also features the Orbsauraus (very good!). One point worth mentioning: "AUNTIE AUBREY: The Orb Remix Project. Soon to be repressed. In Stereo" About bloody time too!! ;-) Also, managed to get hold of the "Once More" promo video... Here's a brief summary of the vid: A couple (who've just married) turn up to the hotel to check into the honeymoon suite. They go upstairs, order some bubbly from the bellboy (LX dressed up in a red uniform!). Whilst all this is happening, there are shots of the Akai (who happens to be in the same room as them!). The newly-wed wife then goes into the bathroom to run a bath. After a while, the husband (who sees water running underneath the door) decides to investigate, and finds out that his wife is a mermaid!! Obviously, they still love each other and embrace - vid ends! Well, very brief, but a fun vid nonetheless...!! l8rs, Nick ;-) > -----Original Message----- > At 10:36 12.2.2001 +0000, smiley wrote in an orbbulletin: > >'Once More' CD1 - cid 767;562969-2; blue cover > > > >1. once more (radio edit) (3.53) > >2. once more (bedrock edit 2) (8.03) > >3. lfc (danny tenaglia's detour mix) (8.03) > > > > > >'Once More' CD2 - cidx 767;562970-2; blue cover > > > >1. once more (radio edit) (3.53) > >2. once more (mark pritchard mix) (7.50) > >3. once more (mark's steamroller mix) (7.09) > > >'Once More' 12" vinyl - 12 is 767;562969-1; blue cover > > > >a1. once more (bedrock edit 2) (8.03) > >a2. once more (radio edit) (3.53) > >b1. lfc (danny tenaglia's detour mix) (8.03) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "James A.

What is it for? there have been a few UK 'standards' in recent years. before the standards, there was serious abuse by the record companies - one famous example was an Iron Maiden single that came in FOURTEEN different formats. the first rule was that only four different formats were allowed, and anything OVER 40 minutes was classed as an album. hence, 'blue room' at 39:58 counted as a SINGLE. after this, things were changed to: - only THREE formats count - no more than FOUR tracks per single OR - as many remixes of the same track on one single this was changed again a year or so ago to: - no more than three tracks per single AND - no more than twenty minutes of music per single (this is why some remixes end up as edited versions on commercial release - so that the 20-minute rule is not broken) the record companies always make out that it's for the bands benefit, so that they don't have to churn out more tracks to fill every single... ...it's actually so that the record companies don't have to find / pay for more tracks to pad out singles by manufactured teen bands, and those of us that used to enjoy 4-track EPs / remix EPs get screwed over. surprise, surprise. now and again, some bands (e.g. propellerheads) release singles that break the 'rules' and won't count for the chart, but that's mainly for the publicity. it hasn't happened for a long time, and everyone does as they're told now. and they wonder why napster is so popular... jeez. --- Smiley ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I can SO relate to this. The amount of times my PC has locked up or I've ***Ked up the recording times or something stupid (or my girlfriend has turned it off!). I've ended up beating the shit out of my PC on many an occasion which always works out costly! But I set up Cool Edit last for a pre-timed record and when I came down this morning there it was!

You can try Ra2wav, although it won't work if you have version 8 of RealPlayer installed; they apparently changed the codec to disable Ra2wav. Otherwise, since the RA people are complete corporate pricks about conversion utilities, you will have to resort to another decode/recode work-around with something like Total Recorder. Email me if you want to try a copy of Ra2wav.

This doesn't seem to be a release where I am. Ifit is then tell me so and I'll wait. AFAIK these were only sent to people on a certain postal mailing list, not to all the record shops on Earth. If they are available at my local record store, why then I'd be glad to purchase them. But if they're promo material that I'll never see then I'd be annoyed to have to spend months hunting on ebay or begging from some radio station or paying postage to some kind soul in England to forward the delicacy. > 3) I rather think *all* of the Once More material should be deleted from > the FTPs, at least until they've been OOP for a while. If you don't > respect the record companies (lord knows I don't), at least repect the > artist's wishes. :/ I think there's nothing wrong with making available that material which *isn't* available to the general public. Things like short release promos, uncommon remixes, etc should be made available on the public FTP servers because many people will never have a chance to hear them otherwise. However, for things such as released albums (like the Cydonia album which will be released shortly) that are generally available around the world then there's no reason to archive those on the FTP servers because that's a disservice to the artists. Disseminating rare material is always good. If a record company has decided to release five hundred copies of some rare remix to a bunch of radio stations and promoters, then there's nothing wrong in redistributing this material because the average person would never be able to listen to such a thing anyway. If the record company put such things out for sale then they shouldn't be archived because they'd be purchaseable. I'm only asking for things that I *CAN'T* purchase. Not for things that I can actually get. Things like promo material counts here. So do singles released only in the UK but not in America. I'd have to be British to get them, or know someone there. I don't, and the record company gets screwed not because I'm cheating them but because they lacked the foresight to attempt a more general distribution policy. Deleting something like Cydonia v1.0 (which you imply by your mention of *all* "Once More" material) would be damaging to the community. This was never released. Perhaps it should never have been. But the dedicated fans (people dedicated enough to hunt for this mailing list, subscribe, discuss, pay attention, and finally be rewarded with unique opportunities for further enjoyment -- we're not just Napster or Gnutella wankers in college dorms here!) shouldn't be punished for sharing rare or unavailable material simply because it was never distributed widely through the normal channels. Like I said, if this sort of thing *will* be available at my local record shop (and I doubt this highly because of *where* I am -- Alaska is not exactly a major music distribution target) I'd be glad to pay for it. And I'd pay for it if I saw it on a trip somewhere else, even if I already had the MP3 copy. Most people on this list would do the same, I think. Hmmph. 'james -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

They don't have to be available at *your* local record store to be available. Try actually looking for them, both live and online before deciding they simply aren't going to be released. In point of fact, I've managed to acquire the promo CD and one of the 12"s quite cheaply, without even breaking a cyber-sweat. I'll get the rest soon enough, probably this weekend. And you miss the point: Alex has said that he prefers that fans not distribute currently available material. Either you respect him enough as an artist to accede to his wishes or you don't. The OAA is supposed to respect Alex's wishes; the rest of us should at least consider it. In addition, most, if not all of these mixes are on the commercial releases of Once More, which you will be able to get, even if you do have to spend some time and money doing so. > I think there's nothing wrong with making available that material which > *isn't* available to the general public.

I order stuff from the UK all the time, and any decent record store can do the same. You just have to ask. Or do it yourself. > Deleting something like Cydonia v1.0 (which you imply by your mention of > *all* "Once More" material) would be damaging to the community. This was > never released.

I didn't mention Cydonia v1.0 (deliberately so), although if I were running one of the FTPs, I'd make it unavailable for a while, just on principle. Works-in-process like Cydonnia v1-3 are valuable (?) historical documents, like live shows, demos, etc, and I don't have a problem with their eventual release, particularly to a dedicated fan base. > Like I said, if this sort of thing *will* be available at my local record > shop (and I doubt this highly because of *where* I am -- Alaska is not > exactly a major music distribution target) I'd be glad to pay for it. > And I'd pay for it if I saw it on a trip somewhere else, even if I already > had the MP3 copy.

And I was at the butt-end of the slowest, noisiest, lamest 56Kbps frame-relay over satellite link that you've ever had the displeasure to encounter. It spanned a distance of over 10K miles from Anchorage to Fairbanks via p2p microwave links along the old RCA telephone backbone, thence up to satellite and back down to Seattle, around the bend a few times, then to the NWnet, which connected to other chunks of the backbone, like NSFnet and the remains of ARPAnet. But I *could* get good things through BITNET! And before FTP was widely available at my site I could still use archie by mail and FTP by mail! Distance WAS indeed a problem. In fact I was so many hops away from the *backbone* (about 30 at worst, 24 at best IIRC) that in many cases things like TCP-based connections would fail because connections would be over 40 or 50 hops away, and timeouts would get so extreme that they'd exceed the 2MSL timeout for active closes (in TIME_WAIT state). Distance was a very important factor. Especially when you had to dig out the UUCP maps to figure out how to reach a central node from whence you could get a path to the person you were emailing. ...!uunet!cojones!fredbox!spam was one path I remember well. Finding the right path could mean avoiding low-speed long distance links, and could save *days* for email transfer time. Long distance email could really take time especially if your bounce bounced back. Hell, you can probably still find fredbox in the last revision of the UUCP maps (still available at DS.INTERNIC.NET if I'm not mistaken). Indeed, I remember the September that Never Ended very well. Probably better than you, I'd guess. I also remember when Kibo Left The Net. And Kibo's Second Coming, too. I also know why Sean P. Ryan has his own alt.flame newsgroup, but that's another story for another day. (Something about sleeping beneath line printers and shouting at people comes to mind, but so does rec.sports.pro-wrestling.) I can't claim to recall the Great Renaming or Flag Day, though. That was before my time. And I can't make jokes about USENET's net.* hierarchy. Nor can I claim to have been able to send messages to addresses like "SLUG AT SRI" or "MOON AT SYMBOLICS". I've even experienced Tenex and Twenex systems, as well as OS/360 and its fscking 80-column card mode over @#$%ing X.25 PADs to Tymnet (UGH!). And RSTS-11, real live Fuzzballs, ITS on PDP-10s, and so forth. Fun stuff. Don't think I'm some AOL wanker. I was on the 'net before I ever met a BBS. I've even still got a (working!) computer with an ethernet card bigger than the puny motherboard in your bitty box. One that wants a vampire tap... A machine that weighs more than I do, my Symbolics XL1200. So there. :P 'james PS: That was humorous, satirical flamage. All counterflames > /nev/dull. -- James A. Crippen ,-./-.

Now, the once more 12"s that have come out weren't technically promos as much as I know. They were club DJ copies. Copies that club dj's would buy at their local dj shop so they would then spin at the club and people would dance to it, ask about it, and then buy the single when it came out. I have the brown 12" of once more, and both cd singles. I bought them all brand new at Rebel Rebel in NYC (thanks for the tip nycnoises for the cd's)... None of these are promos. Actually, you can't buy brand new promo's in a retail store. Some stores get copies one way or another, and then sell them at retail prices yes, but promo's are "not for sale" as presented by the record label. that doesn't mean the music contained is unavailable.. but I've yet to see a true release that contains the "KLF" remix on it.

Record companies (generally) don't sell promos. The people that they give them to can and do sell them. That is perfectly legal under US (and I believe UK) law, and the record companies' only recourse is against the people that they originally gave the promos to. (And strangely, they very rarely take such recourse...) I bought the promos in question from someone on eBay, and from an online shop (just like those clamoring for mp3s could, if they put a little bit of effort into it), and they were not prohibitively expensive (indeed they were pretty cheap, all things considered (probably less than I'll pay for the commercial import releases)), which pretty much removes any legitimate rationale for the immediate piracy of the tracks in question. There is (believe it or not) a difference between acquiring an "official" promo, and asking for an mp3 download. Please, try to understand what I'm on about before posting...it saves us all time and effort. :) > When you run an FTP, you can do whatever you like "on principle". Till then, > try not to worry about other people's so much. Maybe you work for a record > company??? hmmm.... Except that at least one of the FTPs in question is supposed to be run in at least vague accordance with Alex's stated wishes...and it wouldn't kill the others to do the same thing. Removing access to v1 of Cydonia for a while would seem to me to be an act of good faith; but that's just my opinion. No, I don't work for a record company (see previous post where I disclaim any respect for them), but apparently there is what I consider a certain lack of ethics (or is it just laziness?) increasingly prevalent, not to mention a lack of respect for the wishes of the artist that we all claim to be fans of. So: 1) The tracks are available, if one cares to actually look for them. 2) Alex has asked that current releases not be distributed by fans. 3) We don't know what will be on any Once More releases aside from the UK ones. That leaves potentially the US, Japan, and Germany that could easily have commercial releases, all of which often have more tracks than UK releases. Draw your own conclusions. (Although the "proper" conclusion should be pretty obvious.) ;) I can't make anyone do anything. All I can do is speak up when something bothers me. If my doing that bothers *you*, perhaps you should try to figure out why you are bothered.

No, that wasn't the thrust of my comments at all. All I'm on about is that mp3ing current releases isn't the best idea, for a variety of reasons. I was merely pointing out that these items are available to anyone who cares to invest a little time and money, thereby rendering the "I can't find them" argument moot. > Yeah, I agree with whoever it was that said you can't moan about not getting > Promos if you're not ready to part with cash....but EVERYone can't own EVERY > recording...it's not possible.

Yeah, I've noticed you on eBay, and am jealous. :P (Really.) But there are a *lot* of the Once More promos out there right now; anyone who wants to can own them, in a very real sense. And given that, there is (IMO) no good reason to fly in the face of Alex's stated wishes by prematurely distributing mp3s of the tracks in question. > I still don't get why you're having a go because you thought he was a net > newbie? I wasn't (see above). I was "having a go" at him because I believed he was asking for something inappropriate/unnecessary/unethical/whatever. My opinions, my post. Y'all are free to disagree and/or ignore me, but please try to understand what I'm actually saying. :) Chris # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "RadiORB-It's Not Just For Christmas" Subject: (orb) Elvis sighting Date: 15 Feb 2001 07:48:39 -0500 For anyone who cares... The Elvis song (starting around 24:40) sampled in the BreezeBlock mix by LX was A Little Less Conversation. It's from one of those late Sixties movies he did, and there is also a version of it from the '68 Comeback Special. And no, I didn't know that off the top of my head. And, just in case there is anyone out there who doesn't recognize it, the samples starting around 50:20 are from 2001: A Space Odyssey. He also samples that movie a lot in one of the Teatime mixes. And why hasn't anyone said anything about the U2-Def & Numb remix that finally shows up in this set? I know I've been looking forward to that one for years. I guess I wasn't missing as much as I thought I was.

Yet, if you don't buy a promo version (one stamped such) then there's not exactly a 'not for resale' statement, which implies that it could be resold ad nauseum. Nevertheless, the artist gets screwed outta royalties from reselling anyway. And they don't get paid royalties on promos regardless. So unless yer buying brand new....stifle, cause it ain't that different. --T (in absurdland) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Smiley?= Subject: (orb) Cydonia website Date: 16 Feb 2001 10:28:11 +0000 (GMT) the cydonia website is still not up yet, but there has been a change: http://www.orbcydonia.com should be 'live' soon... --- Smiley ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

However, despite the otherworldly, exploratory sounds implied, Cydonia breaks little new ground. A vast majority of the tracks on Cydonia launch safely from the base camp of sample-heavy dub and Brian Eno-inspired ambience from which Orb's music since 1989 has been developed. Tracks vary in velocity and originality, though almost all are competent. "Plum Island," for instance, is prime material for the intro to a Massive Attack tune, while "Thursday's Keeper" is the only track close to the invigorating tempo of Orblivion's "Toxygene," though without the engaging melodic clamor. Dissonance is at a minimum on Cydonia, and the dread of the unknown only surfaces on the standout centerpiece "A Mile Long Lump of Lump," the only song that slowly pulses like a Pink Floyd album (one of Paterson's strongest influences). Many track lengths here stay closer to a more pop-friendly four or five minutes, save for the album closer, "Terminus," a return to freeform ambient house exploration true to the Orb's origins. Recently, frontman Dr. Alex Paterson took to the road, riding the wheels of steel as the opening DJ on the Juno Reactor tour. Paterson's set, for the most part, consisted of somewhat jaggedly mixed classic tracks from the early to mid-'90s. Cydonia conjures a similar sense of scattered nostalgia. The huge, ever-growing pulsating brain behind the Orb now throbs a bit more demurely, but it still has a heart, albeit beating for '93. -> rachel Migoto - Marvelous New Media Design http://www.migoto.com 415.355.0587 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ovation15@aol.com Subject: (orb) once more 12" Date: 17 Feb 2001 20:50:22 EST i got the 12" today (12 is 767/562 969-1). the cover is cool. is there 2 versions of the 12"? i know there is 2 diff CDs. gemini # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jeff Stratton" Subject: RE: (orb) once more 12" Date: 17 Feb 2001 20:21:15 -0700 supposedly there is another to be released within the week. does anyone have any kind of resource to obtain the promo's?

The bitrate after re-encoding is nowhere lower than in the original files, so don't worry about a loss of quality. A little from the Mille Plateaux, Force Inc. and Kompakt labels has also been added.

I finally got the 2 CDs at the Tower Records in Dallas. Frankly I was a little disappointed in the Mark Pritchard remixes on the green disc. A little too "four on the floor" boom boom boom boom for my tastes. The Bedrock edit on the blue disc is much better. It seems to incorporate more elements from the song. In short, the blue disc was worth it to me... The green disc was disappointing... Anyone else have comments?

The best I could do was figure it was a return to the Orb astronaut. Imagine my surprise when I saw a picture of the commercial single, and realized that is was a woman (Aki?) in a slightly odd posture. Did anyone "get" it from just the promos? BTW- Tony sold me a 12" that was Brown. I still have not heard it and did study the art well... I thought it was the Buddah Spinning the Earth. I think I could make out that Buddah is definately left handed. I also couldn't help but notice how ridiculously expensive Buddah's gear is.

Caught 12 hours of reggae and dub at the Long Beach Arena. Bunny Wailer, Culture, Toots Hibbert and Judy Mowatt putting in the best sets. Skool band backed most of the acts, and they are tight. They did a great ambient dub set backing Michael Rose & Black Uhuru a few years back. Found 3 venders selling vinyl and picked up the "Select Cuts From Blood & Fire" album. I was stoked. I've had the vinyl on order for three months and nobody could get it for me. So another Orb mix found! LX should have been there as herb was legal at the Arena for the two day show. Not that I would advise it, but people would stop and light up in front of two or three officers. The officers would just move on. What a difference in 20 years. I was downtown in McArthur Park for the first of these shows back in '81. There were mounted police on horses looking for smokers of herb. Onward to the Orb tour!!!!!!!!!

It's cheesy and low-budget, sure, but still a cool movie.

Does that have anything to do with the ultra-cheesy Mike + The Mechanics track of the same name? I remember being totally baffled by the video for that track when it was a hit; perhaps it somehow referred to the movie...? OK, that's probably far enough off topic for now... standard disclaimer applies about this not being indicative of me being a Mike + The Mechanics fan or anything like that...

I have a hobby, which is juggling. Not the 'normal' ball or club juggling, but I manipulate chrystal balls. This form of juggling is called Contact Juggling (If you want to know more about that go check out www.contactjuggling.org) Now I have heard that a video-clip of 'the Orb' contains some of this form of juggling, in which somebody is palmspinning (twirling or rotating a stack of three of four balls in the palm of the hand, like Chinese exersise balls). I'm looking for that videoclip, so perhaps somebody here can give me the following info; ~from which song is this clip? ~on what tape is it? ~where can I buy this tape? ~who is the performer of the juggling? Ofcourse it is possible that I'm mistaken and that this videotape does not exist, in that case I appologise for disturbing this mailing list.

Has anyone watched the Haywire session with Andrew Weatherall that evidently took place right after the TeaTime session? It looks to me like LX puts in a cameo appearance at around 8 minutes to grab his beer that he left in the studio, then again at about 11 minutes, to give a note to Andrew. I fell asleep after that, so he may show up again, I don't know.

The reason I ask is because I've never seen a real Dj spin records. I've been to a couple of clubs but was real bored with what they were playing. It didn't sound like Alex's Teatime sessions or his live Breeseblock show. Speaking of the Breeseblock show, the track with Elvis singing, what did Alex add to that song?

Date: 24 Feb 2001 19:22:51 -0500 i'm currently somewhat confused by how many versions of cydonia there will be. so the UK release will have 14 tracks (with EDM), the US release will have 13. are there plans to release EDM as b-side or something? also, on towerrecords.co.uk it lists "cydonia 2000 (+ 2 bonus tracks)" which i'm perplexed by...EDM i guess would be one of those, but what's the other? or is this not a real listing? also, is maybe that like a japanese version which includes an additional bonus track beyond the regular EDM UK gets? anybody sort this mess out? i wouldn't mind spending like 19 instead of 14 for the UK version, but if i blew like 30 bux on cydonia2000 only to find out it had EDM + a once more mix from the single or something i'd probably be slightly upset... matt. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: m00ky@lineone.net Subject: (orb) EDM?

Date: 25 Feb 2001 18:24:04 -0500 Part of it *is* in stereo, but why should it matter if it's in stereo or mono? If the music's great you shouldn't have to have a stereo spectrum to keep your attention. Why so anti-mono? Mono's great. Are you mad because you can't use your 5 channel decoder on that album? What amazes me (especially since I'm a recording engineer for a living) is that people think it's "fucked up" because it's in mono. Almost every piece of equipment I've worked with for the past 15 years is stereo-ready. About the only way that I can think of that you can fuck up something and make it mono is either forget in your digital editing system to pan left and right or use a one-channel cable where you should use a two channel cable. Now, if it was digitally edited together rather than mixed by turntable, one possible scenario is that when mastering the stuff the last few things were panned properly because they discovered the mistake almost all the way through mastering. If it was mixed by turntable, the *records* would have to be mono for the ratio of them that are stereo (check Laszlo's discog), so Alex *intended* it that way if it was mixed by turntable. If it was mixed by CD-turns, some of the transfers could have been screwed up like they may have been going into Protools. The ratio of songs that are stereo suggests to me that during mastering they discovered the mistake and only the last few things to go into Protools or whatever they used ended up being stereo and they left it that way for whatever reason (impending deadline, not a major release, etc.). It might be a mistake that it is mono/stereo, but it could have been fixed in a couple of hours if they wanted to, and the ratio is wrong. If it were just a buggered cable half the songs would be stereo and half of them would be mono or the whole disc would be mono. So here's a suggestion: if you don't like it the way it is, why not make one yourself rather than bitch about it? All you really need to recreate it is a wav-editor and copies of the songs, and a couple of days if you know the program. I'm sure if you searched around and got mp3's in stereo of all the songs, you could construct your own stereo version that will make you happy. And if there were a stereo version to suddenly show up, I'd be happy to buy it. To me it would be just as good as having a brand new Orb album. >Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 10:34:10 -0500 >From: Charles Duchesne >Subject: (orb) Auntie Aubrey in STEREO > >Something was mentioned about the re-release of the remix project CD Auntie >Aubrey, this time done right, in STEREO.

In the most basic sense a DJ plays records [or CD's or whatever medium music is pressed onto nowadays]. There's lots of snobbery involved when it comes to talking about what a DJ is. To me there are two types:- a. Dave DoubleDecks that plays records [I'm not going to go down the "chart" route] and talks over the gaps in-between the records and doesn't really know what beat mixing is. See also every DJ that you've seen/heard @ weddings etc etc. See also most Radio "DJ's". b. DJ's that take it seriously and only play a certain type or genre [doesn't mean they only listen to one type of music] and beat mix i.e. unless you knew the records really well you shouldn't be able to tell until it's happened that a new track has come on. You can analyse "type b" ad nauseam but I'm talking in very general broad terms here.

Also I think Alex's DJing is more interesting because he also mixes in samples from a digital source in addition to playing records which give his mixes more depth. But I have to agree with Matt that the term DJ is quite broad and can have different meanings depending on context. Throwing my two cents into the mono debate, isn't Alex's mix on Textures also in mono? I think this would point toward Alex's mixer as the culprit, not that there's anything wrong with mono, its just different.

Alex certainly got in touch with his "cheesy side" w /once more. i gotta say - i love Nina Walsh , and i really like the track Ghost Dancing ( i think Alex accomplished what he was trying to achieve with this track). The Witchman collaboration was a dissapointment, though. I didn't really care for the samples in that one - and the "wah wah" riff in the beginning and end is actually a template from the KORG Electribe ER-1. i wish they could have been more original than that, especially after two years to work on it (don't get me wrong , Witchman is still the shit). Promis, Turn it Down, Terminus and Hamlet are classic orb tracks (hamlet sounds similar to Bang 'er N Chips {one of my all time favs}). Mile lump is still too distorted, @ least for my tastes....

Sun Electric is in stereo because the spectrums are different if you save it as a wav/aiff file and look at the differences. You can also transfer it to tape and watch your left and right VU's behave slightly differently. *Slightly*. It sounds mono on first listening, and if you switch it to a mono signal halfway in between the sound barely changes. Sounds like a two channel mix not quite centered and you can have it so close that you can see it but not hear it immediately. Here's the graph: L1 111111111 555555555 R2 111111111 555555555 C3 22222222 4444444444 666666 88888888 C4 22222222 4444444444 666666 88888888 C5 333333333 777777 9999999 C6 333333333 777777 9999999 1&2, 3&4, and 5&6 are your pairs. L=left, R=right, C=center. You can't get a ratio of mono songs to stereo songs like that using two turntables (or inputs). It has to be three, unless you intentionally put three turns on a two deck mixer and the two on the same channel are going in Y'd with mono conversion. Or the turntables were sent to a general use mixing board (like a Mackie) and two of the inputs were not panned (because you have to remember to pan them). This could be either intentional or forgotten. Or it was not DJ'd in the conventional sense but it was edited in protools (like Keoki's disc that has the Alpha Team track on it). This may make a lot of sense if Alex just had the DATs at his disposal. This would make forgetting stereo pairs a lot more likely because you have two places you have to have set for stereo .... the faders on the board, and the tracks in protools. I've made this mistake and wondered why it wasn't in stereo for about two seconds. Or Alex with his prankish sense of humour said, screw it, we'll have most of it not panned and just a couple of stereo tracks dropped in here and there. This is *really* believable to me. In a studio environment, your tape op would have to make the adjustment on the equipment. Anyone used to using protools would pan hard L/R automatically upon importing a stereo pair. If you import a stereo sound file, protools does it for you, and you'd have to decide to unpan those tracks unless you forgot on the board. With the likelihood of it being mastered with these files in mono in this ration, I figure it *had* to have been intentional.

Having listened to V1 for 5 months now I was a little concerned about certain tracks, but I'm very happy with this "final" release. Is it just me or does the final version of MLLOL beat the tar out of the earlier version? I find the vocal tracks pretty enjoyable. I guess what would have been ~really~ cool is if Cydonia had been released as a two disc CD. Well, when WOULDN'T we want a two discs release from the Orb? =) But what I'm getting at is, one disc being the instrumental Orb we know and love, and the other with vocal tracks, etc. Then you could play 'em according to your mood. Well, anyway, enough rambling. Cydonia is a fantastic release as it is and I'm a happy Orb fan. Any early favorites? My vote goes to Hamlet of Kings. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Martin K.

I think it is one of the most beautiful Orb releases ever. By beautiful I mean mature...I also mean comforting. I have been through a LOT with Orb by my side, getting me through. I don't quite know how to put this second part into words. I want to say familiar..but not in a bad way. Once More STILL gives me chills. As to the vocal tracks. I really like Plum Island and of course Once More and especially Ghost Dancing. But as I want to focus on what is "new" (as opposed to what we have heard on V1), I am still not sure about Centuries. I totally did not like it when I first heard it. But, after listening to the whole CD, I went back to Centuries and it made a little more sense. It is not because it is a vocal track that I don't quite like it, nor is it for the dischord. I am a big fan of jazz, so dischord is never an issue. It is almost like, well...they are trying too hard on that track. But again, I liked it more the second time I heard it. From what I can remember of the snippets we heard centuries ago (no pun intended), I would have much rather have heard Jam on Yer Honey or Bicycles and Tricycles instead of Centuries. One other thing I noticed is there is not quite as much humor in this one. Of course, the bit about beer is funny and the bit about the Pope at the beginning of Terminus is pretty damn hilarious; but nothing like "electro shock therapy." Keep in mind, I am DEAD TIRED from work, so I know I missed something. Best cut on this listen. Hamlet of Kings...I also really liked Thursday's Keeper. It is SOOO much better than Yungle as far as "DnB" goes. I was also suprised to see so many of Andy's cuts on this one. I was a little worried when Andy left. It is nice to see things were worked out to a certain extent, so that the mission of the Orb came before inner turmoil. Oh and I wasn't Orbed...but then again, that never happens when you are looking for it, right? Can't add much more except...favorite cut from V1 era....Ghost Dancing. Favorite from final version...Hamlet of Kings. Terminus is the shiznit. Of course, I am going to have to buy the UK version to hear EDM. So all in all... a massive thumbs up. It will take me a while to get used to Centuries. But I am totally down with the rest of it... totally. 'bette np: the sheep in my head begging me to go to sleep already. "Martin K.

There's a fair amount of snobbery in your "definitions," too. > See also most Radio "DJ's". Why the quotes here? > b. DJ's that take it seriously and only > play a certain type or genre To me, these are some of the dullest DJs around, those that focus on a single genre or style. "Know[ing] what beat mixing is" and being able to do so does not earn any DJ any cred in my book; it's not like it's some big secret, especially in this day and age. There are many "trance" DJs in my city, both on the radio and in the clubs, who seem to think it's some kind of art form to make it sound like they're playing the same song for three hours straight. What a bore. Personally, I'd much rather listen to a good "Dave DoubleDecks" than these genre-specific snoozers. David Holmes and Andrea Parker come to mind as two successful, touring DJs who don't mix, but who play a really eclectic set of great tracks. I'd much rather listen to their sets, beat mixing aside, than any of your Oakenfolds or Sashas or Van Dyks or whatever the flavor of the month is among the genre-impaired beatmixers. I had to respond to this because I'm really bothered by the attitude that says a beat mixer is "automatically" a better "DJ" than one who doesn't. That kind of reasoning is really silly and arbitrary and doesn't wash with me. To me, The DJ Is The Selector first and foremost, and beat mixing is just icing on the cake. I'm not *against* beat mixing by any stretch; it's simply not the be-all, end-all DJ "skill."

I'd say that yes, DJing is a skill and not an art. However, it takes a very skilled person to reach the heights that some DJ's can attain. In some cases it borders on art, but mostly not. But these days, DJ's produce more and more and producers DJ more and more, so I expect in the future the terminology will be interchangeable, when it comes to dance. --Ralph # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Matt.Skinner@skanska.co.uk Subject: RE: (orb) DJ "definitions" Date: 28 Feb 2001 19:04:18 -0000 being able to mix certainly helps.

Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against mobile DJ's or radio DJ's but it pisses me off when they get lumped in with other DJ's. Again I've heard plenty of shit "normal" DJ's - and by that I mean poor choice of tunes/play by the numbers/bad beat mixing/and or lack of innovation.

Are you choosing from your own record selection or the Radio's?

I remember doing Pirate radio about 10 years ago and playing what the fuck I liked.

Anyhow, it's on a fold out leaflet that advertises both "Once More" (and which incorrectly states that the single will include mixes from Jimmy Cauty - only available on the promo issues) and "Cydonia". It doesn't come with the UK CD version of "Cydonia" (maybe the double LP?), but is available on-line at www.orbcydonia.com. It is, incidentally, a list of phrases with an explanation, similar to a thesaurus, hence the name. For instance: "MORE GRILLS LESS FISHCAKES: Twiddly wuddly parp niddle clang. Flib flib flib runcible arbeg whoop. Ickle bong go-go ratatatat. Ftang ftang wahh-hoo frimple frimple."! However, most are a lot more useful than that one, but I love the explanation (despite the fact it's meaningless)!!

I have the option of both, but because of the way I assemble my shows I end up bringing in all my own stuff, even though some of it is also at the station. Less headaches that way, I've found. So: "my own record selection." > I could be pedantic and say that playing someone > else's mix CD is not really DJ'ing Agreed, which is why it's not something I do every week, but more like half a dozen times a year at most. > You're in a tiny percentage and people like > yourself are few and far between. I agree that such "freedom" is rare, even in college / commercial-free radio, but even this station isn't as "free" as one at which I used to work, where we played *anything* on the air, regardless of FCC regulations. My favorite illustrative story about this is that the first time I heard NWA's "Fuck the Police" was when the music director at the station spun it for me while he was broadcasting. There's always a tradeoff, though, and at that station you had to play exclusively from their library and couldn't bring in your own gear (it was more of an anti-theft thing than any kind of playlist control). I think there's been a meeting of the minds here, and I'm happy to let the subject drop. As I mentioned, though, I felt compelled to put in my two cents lest the person who posted the original question go away from the thread thinking that DJs who don't beatmix are shit. Or are "DJs." ;) JG # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Matt.Skinner@skanska.co.uk Subject: RE: (orb) DJ "definitions" pt 2 Date: 28 Feb 2001 20:10:39 -0000 >>I think there's been a meeting of the minds here, and I'm happy to let the subject drop.

I think with anything in life it's all about moderation and being able to look past doing just one thing, but still strive to do what you do, the best that you can, and in my eyes this means being able to beatmatch and mix tracks together. Below is a mp3 of me and my friend science doing a 2x4 set together with a mixer each and 2 to 3 turntable each. There is some beatmatched stuff, and some stuff is not beatmatched, and then there is some stuff that is half way inbetween that, were the tracks are pretty much beatmatched, but the mix is very short and is allmost a fade in fade out. I am sure you all have heard plenty of people beatmatch downtempo; however, I wanted to prove a point in that you can do both and doing both can make things sound really good. Also since I am new to the list I figured it would be nice to share some music with you all. http://www.cloudfactory.org/~djstonie/audio/chillits00/science.mp3 jahsh Ps yes there is some orb in the mix:) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: laerm Subject: RE: (orb) UK Cydonia/Orbsaurus complete package Date: 28 Feb 2001 16:35:38 -0500 (EST) On Wed, 28 Feb 2001 derrien@club-internet.fr wrote: > An orbausaurus is a glossary with Orb references. > Seems to be included on Cydonia limited editions... > > BUT ! > > It's also online on > www.orbcydonia.com yep! and it's mighty useful, too. micah stupak /"\ laerm@soulfood.org ascii ribbon campaign \ / international bright young kook against HTML email X / \ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Andrew Krieg Subject: Re: (orb) Cydonia musings Date: 28 Feb 2001 15:40:04 -0600 (CST) > Any early favorites?

I have a full recording of the orb live in session on Mark Radcliffes show on radio1 when orbus terrarum was released, Mark interviews Dr alex, and he speaks of how he will be carrying on in the future with sounds similar to plataeu and mantagne d'or... theres radio1 session recordings of montagne d'or, plateau and towers of dub :) just thought i'd mention this.. When I get a larged hdd Ill have to mp3 these tapes up. cos I also got a steve lamaq program with a whole hour of orb recorded somewhere in 95. cheers. alex uk. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jeremiah Rickert Subject: Re: (orb) Pacific northwest shaking.
