This whole thread makes me think about the time I flamed an individual posting on behalf Moby for posting to the USENET in all-caps. Another individual came back and flamed me, saying that it was Moby's "artistic license" to post in all-caps. Huh? I'd be genuinely shocked if LX intentionally mixed in mono deliberately, especially on his own tracks, where (IMHO) the stereo separation works to great effect. About a year ago, I did some mixes for some friends, and when listening to them I was stumped that every other song had a flatter sound than the ones before or after it. After a period of bewilderment, I discovered that it was a problem with my board putting a pair of inputs through in mono, and had to have it repaired. Perhaps something similar happened with Auntie Aubrey. esch@fische.com (Eschatfische.) --------------------------------- http://www.fische.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Lazlo Nibble" Subject: Re: dissatisfaction over auntie aubrey Date: 01 Sep 1996 12:09:11 -0600 (MDT) > But the point is that the vinyl sourcing and the decision to make it > mono were the decision of whoever compiled the tape, and if Alex > compiled or sanctioned it, we should be happy with it. I can live with the discs being mixed from vinyl, but I don't see any reason why we should be "happy" with them being released mostly in mono. I doubt very much it was a conscious artistic decision.

Then around 6:00 AM they started playing music again, and everyone woke up and continued dancing and stuff. I was just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this story thanks.

If you replace "artistically" with "in a marijuana-induced haze," I'll bet we get somewhere closer to the truth. I got a similar message back from Christine (after sending an email to "trance"), and it's clear from the message that they have no intention of remastering the thing. Considering how important stereo is to most Orb recordings, I'm astonished that Alex would think that this is accepatble. A little re-recording, sure, and I don't have a problem with vinyl mastering if it's the only way to get the recording, but the whole thing just seems so, well, unprofessional. I wonder how many people would have bought this if it stated on the package that the majority of the songs are in mono. I would have given it at least three second thoughts, I know that for certain. Since when is "mono" an innovation? Does anyone think that the combined power of this mailing list can do something about it? Maybe we can at least get them to get us an official explanation from Alex, as it seems like they're covering for him at this point. -- Adam J Weitzman ----- Individual, Inc. ----- weitzman@individual.com "I love the music of the 20th century!" - Bruce Willis, "12 Monkeys" # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jason Green*" Subject: ORGANIC SHOW...

By the way, didn't Organic KICK ASS??? I definitely thought so. You don't know anyone that taped the Underworld set, do you? They were fucking brilliant. I have waited so long to see them, and the by far lived up to my expectations. Anyway, I have to go work now. Talk to you soon... Happy trails.... _jason_ Hello, my name is Greg (though it says Jeff). Did anyone hear te Organic 96 show out here in southern cal. If not I happened to get the whole thing on tape as well as the whole orbital show as well. And the new material is very very amazing. From what I heard there was dancey stuf, but there was the ambient stuf as well. I dont remember the Orb starting out as a band to do pumpin' teechno in te first place. Alex is more interested in creating a mood, than creating the best fucking techno song youve ever heard. He mixes it up and I love both the techno, and the ambient. See, the orb is good for the come on, the peak, and the come down. There is no drug phase in which the orb does not sound good. Just my two cents. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------ RFC822 Header Follows ------------------ Received: by quickmail.apple.com with ADMIN;31 Aug 1996 10:36:26 -0700 Received: from mail.xmission.com ([198.60.22.22]) by mail-in2.apple.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA03605 for ; Sat, 31 Aug 1996 10:37:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by mail.xmission.com (8.7.5/8.7.5) id KAA23112 for orb-goout; Sat, 31 Aug 1996 10:58:34 -0600 (MDT) Received: from netcom7.netcom.com (fopp@netcom7.netcom.com [192.100.81.115]) by mail.xmission.com (8.7.5/8.7.5) with SMTP id KAA23107; Sat, 31 Aug 1996 10:58:31 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from fopp@localhost) by netcom7.netcom.com (8.6.13/Netcom) id JAA20536; Sat, 31 Aug 1996 09:58:29 -0700 X-Sender: fopp@netcom7 cc: orb-digest@xmission.com In-Reply-To: <199608310703.BAA22796@mail.xmission.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-orb@xmission.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: orb@xmission.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Sean Wolfe Subject: RE: orb in NYC Date: 04 Sep 1996 08:45:49 -0500 > Okay, I heard that at a show in NYC, at around 2:00 AM orb played=20 >a single bass note for a few hours straight, and told everyone to go to = >sleep.

I think saying that Alex "artistically" chose >>to put some of it in mono is a cop out and most likely a lie. > >If you replace "artistically" with "in a marijuana-induced haze," I'll >bet we get somewhere closer to the truth. my guess, and this is only a guess, is that alex mixed this cd on a standard dj setup (2x 1200's and maybe a cd player all run through a regular dj mixer) i would be willing to bet that he ran one of the sources (ie. 1 of the turntables or the cd player) throgh an effects unit so that he could add reverb/delay/flange/etc to the music when he wanted to. if he were using a standard effects pedal (which i saw him do in detroit on the happy happy joy joy tour...... he dj'ed some excellent dub before dj lewis came on) everything passing through the pedal would become mono regadless if it were originally in stereo or not. this explanation makes sense to me since not ALL of the songs on auntie are mono. perhaps he should have mixed this cd in the studio through a proper mixer which would allow him to split the cannels, add effects to each channel (or use a stereo effects unit), and lay all the songs down in stereo. well, he didn't so we all have to live with it. MY GRIPE: i have a problem with the sound quality of the wire song. it sounds like shit. it's all distorted and crackly. you'd think the guy would have a decent copy of his own record. hell, my copy sounds better than his. i mean if he wanted to borrow mine all he had to do was ask. :: rex c. arthur :: :: voyager co. :: :: nyc :: # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Michele Subject: ultra rare tracks vol. 1 Date: 04 Sep 1996 19:25:00 -0700 hello everybody, i have read on a magazine about an orb cd called "ultra rare traks vol.1". does anybody know if there are really rare tracks inside? does anybody have the tracks list? is this cd a very good one? thanx.

No, not really. I wouldn't think they talk about every little detail about every recording. If Alex had mentioned it to Andy, maybe Andy was fucking with you. Maybe they like it as it is. How do you know the mono stuff wasn't from acetates made from earlier versions of the tracks where technically it's true stereo but there's just no separation?

Date: 06 Sep 1996 23:07:23 -0700 (MST) Hey ho everybody!! The highlight of my summer was meeting LX in Chicago. ALex was spinning after Acoustic Armchair, or whoever they were, so my friend and I went up to the balcony were he was. We stood there staring for a while trying to decide if it was really him (we both hadn't seen a recent picture of the guy so we only knew what he looked like from the flying pagoda in Adventures). We concluded that it was indeed Alex and stood staring at him some more. I don't think he was spinning his own records 'cause he'd pick one up look at one side, then the other, shrug his shoulders and throw it on a table. He looked pretty confused. He was putting stickers on some of the records that he'd take off the table. He was having some major problems getting the backs off the stickers, though. So during his set he turned to me and asked if I'd help him get the back off one of the stickers. I, of course, accepted and went to work on getting the back off the sticker. It was pretty fucking hard to do!! After wrestling with the damn thing for 5 minutes I was afraid I was going to call my task a failure. But finaly I removed the back and triumphantly handed Alex the sticker and he said to me: "Cheers, mate!" I was very happy!! My friend Mark then began to talk to him and slipped him his demo tape (like I bet he doesn't get that everywhere he goes!). So we had a close encounter with the man. Mark and I then proceeded to smoke one-hitters until the evil security took it away. All in all it was a great night except the bands that performed with LX sucked (Audio Armchair and Meat Beat were terrible). After MBM we were just about to leave when we noticed that Alex had come on again so we then danced away for an hour and a half or so and had a really capital time. Just wanted to share that wonderful experience with everyone.

No, not as drastic. As I remember 'Suck My Kiss' was a rather sample laden number, with a Flavor Flav 'Yo Chuck, I'm Chilling' sample as the main hook. I'll have to dig it out to check, it's on a 'Wau! Mr Modo' compilation that I found in a bargain bin. Stewart ps, the system 7 album shouldn't have been so crap, considering the promo's issued before the album, Sunburst and Miracle were available in many tasty flavours, including Orb, Oakenfold and Weatherall (I think) mixes. The album sucked big time, though. With the possible exception of about 4 tracks (The two above, Dog and Altitude). After this was the release of 'Depth Disco', leading up to the excellent 777 album. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: David Larson Subject: Read Receipt Date: 09 Sep 1996 16:56:49 -0600 Your message regarding "Alex's playlist" of Sun Sep 08 1996 21:28:35 -0600 was read on Mon Sep 09 1996 16:56:48 -0600. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Scott Rousseau (Volt Comp)" Subject: RE: Read Receipt Date: 09 Sep 1996 15:53:22 -0700 uh....don't really think that this is Orb related. >---------- >From: David Larson[SMTP:string@blitzen.noir.net] >Sent: Monday, September 09, 1996 3:56 PM >To: orb@xmission.com >Subject: Read Receipt > >Your message regarding "Alex's playlist" of >Sun Sep 08 1996 21:28:35 -0600 was read on Mon Sep 09 1996 16:56:48 -0600. > ># Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? ># Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. > # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "John R. Whigham" Subject: Alex in Atlanta Date: 10 Sep 1996 22:15:15 -0500 Just wanted to give a quick review of the meatbeat/LX/Guru show in Atlanta. I had never actually heard anything about or from Loop Guru, before the show except for the fact that they played at Organica '96. I guess they were ok, taking percussion and noise and adding more percussion and noise made for an unusual opening act. The main guy "Sam?" was pretty cool, and full of energy.... they guy is a total freak on stage...... As for the music, It wasn't exactly what I'm into and I don't know if I'd buy their CD, but I give them credit for being original and full of energy..... Then Alex came...... He came on stage and started spinning, but It seemed like he was having problems with some of the equipment, I don't really know what was wrong but his mixing sounded off, the needle skipped around, volume level's were screwed up.... It just seemed like things never really got going, everytime something started to sound pretty good, something would happen and it would sound (I hate to say it) but terrible.... The audience was dead and I was pretty dissapointed when he left the stage after playing only 45 minutes.... (It gets better... Keep reading).... Meatbeat was next.... I used to be a big fan of Meatbeat when I was in high-school, well I loved just about anything that Wax-Trax put out. I still listen to 99% every now and then, but I really havn't kept up with Mr. Dangers since then. Well anyway, they took the stage and played for ever..... seemed like over two hours, most of the songs being heavy elctronic noise dance (I guess that's a description), I liked it for the most part, though I did find that his tweeking of certain sounds nearly caused most of the people there to go deaf, some sound levels were just uncomfortably too loud... other than that it was pretty good, I like most of there sounds and styles, I guess because I grew up listening to them.... Anyway... Just a side note I spotted mr trent reznor backstage dressed in his "Closer to God" outfit... I really have mixed feeling's about him, so I didn't bother going over to shake his hand or get his autograph like all the other people that spotted him.... I'm not a trent basher, but I'm not his biggest fan either..... ok now the good stuff.... As Meatbeat left the stage Alex returned, this time it was perfection... He ended up spinning for well over an hour even though there were no more than 20 people that remained. It was too cool... he spun some jungle mixed with the more traditonal ambient/trancno, glancing up every minute or two to see his hand full of true fans. After he ended his set, he came forward and talked to all of us, answered a couple of questions, about the new album and everything, I belive he was asked about what went wrong so wrong in when he played after Guru, but I never really understood what he said when he answered... Anway he proved to be a really approachable person, contrary to many of the other encounter's I have read about... I guess it was just the conditions.... I got to shake his hand and tell him that I appreciated that he still played for such a long time even after everyone had left.... He seemed to have enjoyed it a lot too. I hope he comes back soon...... --J # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: k8 peterson Subject: Re: Alex in Atlanta Date: 11 Sep 1996 02:49:30 -0400 you know, i've never actually seen the orb because i was unable to go to the chicago show last spring, and it was a good thing because i heard it wasn't so great and all of my friend's belongings were stolen. i digress; anyway, has anyone heard Auntie Aubrey and what are your opinions?

I'm saying that hungry Orb fan that I am, I'll listen to anything of them without reservation as to what the quality's like, before I make up my mind whether I like it. And usually I wait until I'm familiar with it track by track before I make up my mind whether I like it. That's a great way to give it a fair shake, innit? Doesn't have to sound polished and produced, sleek and sexy. Sometimes so-called dodgy recording quality adds character (witness Cabaret Voltaire). btw, this could be just "product" to those involved producing it. A glorified mixtape. Something to tide us (the fans, who generally know almost nothing about how these things are produced) over until the next album of new material comes out. In other words they may just want us to shut up about when the new album's coming out. It's cool if you don't like it, but I think you're missing out if you say it's substandard just because it's not in stereo and was mastered from vinyl. Anyway, if so many people think AA sucks because it's NOT in stereo, surely one or more of us can recreate it from the vinyl in stereo.

Example - he went into a record shop in Japan, I think, and saw Icons Of The Orb on a display rack at the front of the store. That would piss me off too, to see my work getting displayed and bought by the public and not getting any royalties!

I work for a reasonably well know publishers in London (bare with me, this is relevant) who also produce cd-rom titles. I am the resident sound- person. I have also produced my own breakbeat rave music in the past (when jungle was just an off-shoot of rave and drum&bass was not). In my work I use a LOT of sample cd's. Being a fairly large company we have a large collection, including the entire Digieffects series from '89. Just yesterday I was sampling some small sound-effects for some animations when I came across a cd containing a large number of samples which the Orb obviously used for 'Adventures...'. These are NOT small samples which have been cleverly altered or effected. These are large (2-3) minute ambient textures which the Orb have simply layered together, almost in the order they appear on the sample cd. It's almost as if they have just left the cd playing through all the tracks with (maybe) another sample cd offset and recorded on another track. I was disappointed to say the least. I have always considered original sampling to be an important factor and I used to think the Orb were one of the few 'bands' with an ear for interesting sounds and a feel for applying effects. I know 'Adventures...' was one of their early products but I would have expected more from them than simple uneffected layering of some pre- produced samples. On the other hand, 'Adventures...' is still (IMHO) the best thing the Orb have ever produced (although 'UFOrb' was good too) and knowing where the samples are from doesn't change that, they are good samples! I hope this sparks some discussion about something other than the mono vs stereo arguments. Jim Rixon nb.

I'm not familiar with this serie but the story you wrote sounds interesting. As you said yourself it doesn't change the way I feel about Adventures or anything else The Orb did. And I don't care who and what they sample as long as they make beautiful songs out of it. At this moment there's a doctor in Holland who was very succesful with a book about psychic health care. Till some magazine found out that more than half of the book was copied from an American professor (unauthorized). Now he's the subject in all the newspapers and tv shows. And he's burned down (is that the right expression in English??). What I wanna say is that as long The Orb make damm fine records out of samples I don't mind. But at the moment someone find out that they unauthorized copied half of others work I maybe change the way I feel in the way of artistic and creative work on their albums. But I know for sure that I still like the sound at that moment. Just a thought. Don't burn me!

Sure, I have Secret Squirrel and a bunch of other tracks on the cd in their original format, but I've played them so much that they are scratchy and dull by now. Plus, it's nice to have all the tracks in one place, rather than having to pull out 12" after 12" to hear them. I think Deviant and Alex should be commended for putting out a quality package, despite the mono and occasional scratchiness...it's still a hell of a lot better than nothing at all. (as for shipping 2 disc twos, well, that's downright lame, I admit). I also disagree with the contention that the disc is just a pacification...I don't remember anyone saying that when the Aubrey Mixes and Peel Sessions came out. As an old school orbie (since '89 man!), I can say that the best thing about the orb is you never know what you're going to get...when you think they're going to zig, they zag, when you think you're going to get a beep, you get a bloop. Sure, Pommes Fritz made me gag when I heard it for the first time, but it led me to the realization that Alex and the gang has always taken your expectations and thrown them back in your face...case in point: what kind of music is the orb? Is is ambient? Sometimes....Is is techno? Sometimes...Is it crap?

I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not .... but after a few listens I really got into it, apart from the "Jungle"-ish tracks, which brings me to my point- - If the new album by the Orb is faster because of Alex's whole D.J'ing and mixing experience's as of late, I hope to fuck there is no "Jungle" shit on it.

I'm glad to see different opinions, otherwise this would be a very dull list. But I don't agree. I almost like everything The Orb did (except that fucking horrible Apollo II piece and the NO Fun track). NOT!! because it's The Orb name on it, but because of the way they handle the sounds. I like their slow stuff as much as their more dancy and techno stuff. I'm very curious about The Orb into the drum 'n bass experience. Jungle/drum 'n bass is already parted in a lot of different styles and I just wanna hear how Alex and Andy handle this. And in an interview I had with Alex last year he told me "expect the unexpected, we don't wanna make that same music all the time, maybe our fourth album is a punk album" So let's patient and hope that's not really the case. I like The Orb but punk is not really my style. Just an opinion!

It would be interesting to have the new album start out as this mutating sound blob and mixing in orbvus sounding rhythms, some heavy dub. Halfway through the album, we hear some more familiar sounding orb, housey orientated shit like uforb, then by the time we get to the end of the album, your listening to the most intelligent, intense and coolest sounding drum and bass you've ever heard.

They where stating that from that show, they had the feeling the new orb album would definitively do some excursion in Drum'n'Bass. What this means is another story. I'm sure that since the overall British Breakbeat movement is so huge on the Island, there will surely be some influence (and that's fine for me).

They were great!!! Imagine Orbvs jungle. They also did one from Pomme Fritz. YEAH! (They didn't do anything from that when I saw them on the Orbvs tour.) By the way, I think Pomme Fritz is amazing (unlike most of you out there, it seems) Too me, it ranks as high as UFOrb.

Date: 17 Sep 1996 14:46:05 GMT I recently heard a track on a Face FM (central London) pirate drum & bass radio show which could have quite easliy been the Orb doing drum & bass in their own style. I mean, IT WASN'T THE ORB but it sounded like drum & bass meets 'Little Fluffy...' / 'Perpetual...' a kind of drum & bass 'Adventures...' kind of track (is anyone catching my drift here?) Naturally I didn't get the name of the track or the artist (being Pirate they didn't mention it) so sorry to disappoint you all. It just made me think that it might be nice to hear the Orb combining drum & bass with a back2basics 'Adventures...' style album (or just a track or two).

I almost like everything The Orb did (except that fucking : horrible Apollo II piece and the NO Fun track). : NOT!! because it's The Orb name on it, but because of the way they handle : the sounds. I like their slow stuff as much as their more dancy and techno : stuff. Erm, the Apollo 11 track wasn't released under the Orb banner. Although it does state 'Orbphonic Sound', and it has a 'Is This Really The Orb?' mix on it, it can only be looked upon as an excursion from the norm. IIRC, it was supposed to be some kind of benefit/protest song for the Middle East. As to 'No Fun', it was recorded as a Peel session, and again it's the exception as opposed to the rule. John Peel's sessions always did give bands the opportunity to experiment. : I'm very curious about The Orb into the drum 'n bass experience. Jungle/drum : 'n bass is already parted in a lot of different styles and I just wanna hear : how Alex and Andy handle this. I don't think that we're going to get a full on drum n' bass album, just that there will be some concessions to that scene. Personally, I preferred the progressive sounds on UFOrb, but it doesn't hold a candle to the 2xCD Adventures. Consider Underworld, one of the pioneering progressive house outfits, but for the last couple of years have been getting faster and harder, but haven't lost any of the fans they garnered from 'dubnobass.....'. The Orb will change, but I think 'Orblivion' will sound like a mix of the previous albums, as opposed to sounding like Goldie. For the record, I don't like Live'93, Pomme Fritz or Orbus Terraneum (excuse my spelling, I don't own them), but I'm willing to give them (The Orb, not the albums) the benefit of the doubt (or the roach). DJDan> ps - its shitty that in textures we hear darrens records DJDan> poping every now and then.... Again, this is something I don't own (I have the TEX/TA sets), but Darren should be able to choose anything that was on the Trance discs, even if it is his own.

As far as Jungle go's, you'll either love it, or hate it. At first I totally hated it, way to fast to dance to, and seemed kinda chaotic.. However, the more I listened, the more I learned. Jungle has very few rules, the beats don't even have to hit right, or in the same tempo. It makes for a very realistic sound, but keeps with the advantages of using electronic equpiment. If you want to hear some very impressive ambient/jungle, check out Subtropic's "homegrown." This album kicks my ass every time I hear it. Intelligent enough to listen to, slow enough to dance slowly to, or go fast. I think if orb does jungle, it will sound more like this then anything else I've heard, but who knows... As for Pomme Fritz, I love it. The album isn't just experimental, its 300 years ahead of its time. LX did things on that cd that probably made half of us frown at first to, but I've found that I was frowning because it was so different... I think every Orb album has its own vibe and style, you can hear the orb in it, but its taking a brand new pathway. Its never house, its never dub, its orb. This is how most artists should be... They just don't invent one sound, stick to it, and mix it up a little. They take a sound, and show you it in hundereds of different ways... I cannot wait for Orblivion. 2 coppers..

They take a > sound, and show you it in hundereds of different ways... yeah... that is a more than groovy aspect of the orb, but i can understand why people might not like to listen to radically different techiques of ambient music. oftentimes people treat their musical choices in the same way as other choices, and it is imposed on us as subjects of western philosophy and media that safety and firm-groundedness are very important. when the orb releases a track or album that resembles something they have not yet done, it is expected that some listeners will be alienated. it is just the nature of living in the modern world. of course, the orb is not a musical congregation of divinity and, as such, they can and will create a bummer once in a while... experimentation is no excuse for lower-than-par music, of course. i do not see the style of the music pulling them down though, since they have been so versatile in the past. by the way, my name is michael and this is my first post... i guess that is not introductory enough... umm... i am a student and i bake bread... i also smoke copious amounts of marijuana and do not wear shoes very often. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Stewart Nolan" Subject: Re: TEXtures Date: 18 Sep 1996 14:47:19 +0100 ---------- : From: Lane Robert : To: 'ORB' : Subject: Re: TEXtures : Date: 18 September 1996 19:48 : : : : : I enjoy The Orb experimenting but I'm not happy when I play Peel Session : : : 92-95 at full volume and suddenly that fucking track burst out.

If it's too fast, groove on the bassline, rather than the kick. i agree wholeheartedly... however, and this goes for almost any stylistic change... it takes a minute or seven to adjust to fitting to different parts of the music. i mean, skate boarding is not the same as ice skating... they're both similar, but one's got to get into a different groove for each one. yeh... all i'm saying is that i agree about the jungle deal, but i also sympathize with people who don't jive with it.

If you realy listen to it, it's rather slow compared to most forms of dance music. Just listen to the new EBTG. Even "industrial" type music can be ambient/spacey in some ways and also harsh at the same time. Aphex Twin's -i care because you do-, would be a good example. Except for Ventolin :) Remember. Alex is a DJ and I'm sure he's seen how much people respond to Jungle. So he's probably decided to make something that borrows from it in some way, but still sounds like the Orb, not Goldie or something like that.

Who is Jack Barron? I'm askin cuz i remember this show on the radio here called baren..barron...baron (..im not sure bout the spelling) landscapes on KBOO. It was where i had my first encounter with the orb, anyways i was wondering if this was the same guy? I do remember him saying that he knew these guys called the orb, and that he was going to send in some footage from one of his call-in shows and they would remix it and send it back to him.

Jack Barron was a journalist for the NME during the (70s?) 80's in the UK. AFAIK, he was working on the articles for the Trance compilations from Volume (who also compiled 'Auntie'). I would guess that the article you talk of is a reprint from one of the Trance discs (Probably the first one).

This is Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest by The Fireman. It's a collaboration between Paul McCartney (formerly of Wings :-) and Youth (who's worked with The Orb but has never really been "a member"). I suggest you listen before you buy -- it's packaged and priced like an album but it's really just a bunch of remixes of a single (so-so) track. -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Sean Wolfe Subject: RE: Straberrie ships and Paul McCartney.

Paul McCartney released some kinda techno thingy a few years back. I believe that he may have released this under a pseudonym, I dunno. Anyway, I believe it was vinyl-only and quite limited.

I have this album ("Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest", by "The Fireman"). It's a pretty good, sample-heavy, ambient-housish (but not really) album that would probably appeal to most Orb fans; the only drawback is that all the tracks sound like remixes of each other. It's worth getting if you can find it used, or you're a rabid Beatles fan, since yes, Paul McCartney is (at least partly) The Fireman. (And all this time I thought he was The Walrus. Live and learn.) I had no idea there was supposed to be Orb involvement in this project, though I wouldn't be surprised.

In Fluffy Clouds, she's just talking about the skies, but in another trak she says "I don't know if I was high, or if it was just....". So, you see, it obviously wasn't a kids show like Reading Rainbow.

My mom has the whole library of Rainbow tapes (she's a grade-school teacher, and uses some story segments in class) and I've asked her specifically to let me know if she ever sees an segment where Levar and a woman talk about clouds and use the term "Little Fluffy Clouds". She didn't recall one, and she hasn't seen that segment since. If someone knows the number of the show, however, or even the story that this discussion was related to (they're cross-indexed on a big list) I could definately pull that tape the next time I go home and check it out. esch@fische.com (Eschatfische.) --------------------------------- http://www.fische.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Sean Wolfe Subject: FW: paul mccartny Date: 25 Sep 1996 14:04:01 -0500 >What record store did you see that at.

I thought for sure the former was from a Reading Rainbow episode whose theme was clouds. On the LFC CD5, one version opens with just the interview (w/ delay) part, and it sounds for sure like Burton. Didn't Jones sue Big Life for using this sample and was rewarded % of royalties off record sales? It's feeling like October outside and there hasn't been much discussion about the new album. When is the current release date/title? The music scene has changed a lot since Orbus T. With retro-analog being the in thing, I wonder if the Orb have considered incorporating live synths into their set, versus pure mixed sampling. TB303 (now remarketed as MC303)/ Juno106/Moog's are beat to death, but man are there some nice sounds coming out of some newer synths prophecy/morpheus/nord lead/orbit/k2500/ trinity/etc... and with this, you are. orb on. -s. absorbed in: synasthesia/embody peter gabriel/passion aphex twin/85-92 SAWI serenity dub 2.1 (incoming!). future sound of jazz/vol.1 objet's d'art orb/morphology # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Lazlo Nibble" Subject: Little Fluffy Clouds (Let's Get It Right) Date: 26 Sep 1996 10:45:42 -0600 (MDT) > 3.)Check Lazlo's Discograpy, and it right there...it tells you where the > samples of the song are from... Well, I'm not 100% convinced of the sample's source either, and I maintain the discography. Maybe I should make that clearer in the document itself. The reason I think it's "Reading Rainbow" is because the interviewer *does* sound like Levar Burton to me, and where else would Jones be interviewed by him except on "Reading Rainbow?"

If I may bitch about the Happy Mondays latest reincarnation (and probably their most successful and permanent one)... I have not had the chance to see a Black Grape show... and it is because they are conspiring against me. When I went to London in January, Black Grape had played a string of shows, the last one being the evening before I arrived. Finally, after cancelling a show a while ago and finally coming to the states, they chose to play New York (where I was at the time) the very night that I was in a show that was opening. At last, they set up definite plans to play this big music festival organized by Perry Farell and end up not playing because of (they same reason they had to postspone the previous show) the US government. Yeah... they used to be big time heroine dealers... so what... I WANT TO SEE THEM LIVE... why cannot the government and Black Grape get this through their thick heads?

I have video of it, and The Orb just simply lifted it ... no funny stuff. Direct camera shot of the two of them just sitting talking. They're talking about a kids book about different emotions of the sky or something like that. And yes Rickie always sounds that out of it ... her schtick is 50's Beatnik, so her music is very jazzy, and very lucid. It's very much like the cool jazz that was going on at the time ... sort of a female Tom Waits, whom she dated for a little while. She also did weird Orb-like stunts with her records, too -- she had an album in the early 80's that was available only as a 10" record and cassette at a time when 10" records just weren't done. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: az531@lafn.org (George Williams) Subject: RE: Little Fluffy Clouds (Let's Get It Right) Date: 26 Sep 1996 13:00:21 -0700 Nope. wrong. credited to rlj only. lists the sample as 'what were the skys...'?

He sounds totally messed up there if that really is him... Maybe I'll run it through some effects and see if I can't get it to sound more like him...

In the CD it only credits Rikki Lee Jones, and doesn't mention anything about a radio interview. Record sleeves obviously have space for more text.

It's not early english.... rather, it is because it is easier to carve a "V" into a cornerstone if one is a greco-roman architect than it is to carve a "U."

Cos Orbvs Terrarvm is latin, the song titles & stuff if I remember right (not in front of me now). The stuff on the map is in latin too, it gives it a nice old flavor to things. I took latin for 2 years in high school & I can't remember exactly, but I don't think there are any V's in latin (or maybe it's U?) but I know for sure that the U is written as V...now that I think of it "veni, vidi, vici" or whatever, there are U's, but they're pronounced as W's.

I'm not old enough to actually have grown up while it was being made but the PBS station in Chicago (U.S.) has played them all. So, in effect, I grew up with it. And, if anyone else cares to know, there is a Doctor Who sample in an FSOL track (can't remember which - it's on ISDN near the end) that is from "The Robot" of the Tom Baker regeneration. It is a sample of the Robot supposedly calculating. Ethan G. ---------- > From: Matthew D.

Without turning this list into a help desk for people who would like to experiment with Acid or anything, and at the risk of seeming like an idiot I'd like to know if taking the plunge and taking an acid is actually worth my while ??? I am 22 and feel that it's a now or never situation, alot of my friends can't really express what it's like in words properly and this Friday is probably the day I'd do it (if I ever will !!).

Then they caught the ones they had missed when PBS started airing them again last year. I thought that BBC had all the Pertwee episodes, but if they don't, I guess my friend's dad has all but the ones missing. I have actually watched one of the Pertwee episodes in its original four or six part form, so I know that they got some of his shows when originally aired. ...mattking # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: rachel@general.net (Rachel) Subject: Re: Gaia Date: 30 Sep 1996 09:11:08 -0700 (PDT) >HOWEVER... the slowed down sample in Gaia("I'm bored... what place is this...a >small planet in the sk system...") is definitely from Doctor Who. >I have this from a guy whose father has all episodes from Jon Pertwee to >Sylvester McCoy recorded. wrong. it is DEFINITELY from one of the first scenes of Flash Gordon "Clitus, I'm bored.
