I'm a lucky boy. I just picked up the grid single (with two orb mixes) both mixes are very similar, and I liked the second better. THey are very beat oriented, but I like their sample-laden stuff better, but a good CD nonetheless. and I also found a brand new copy of the First Peel sessions. This is an EXTRA copy, as I already have a copy. It's three tracks (check the discog) and the mixes are great. over all it is right around 30-40 minutes long If my memory serves me. I want to trade this for a Blue room single with the 40 minute version on it. Any release is fine, but I need to get the 40 minute version. any takers? djblue@asu.edu - - # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Smiley Subject: Re: (orb) Starbait has been cancelled Date: 28 Dec 1997 18:00:56 +0000 Turbo writes >Mainly for fellow Australian's there was a small article in yesterday's >Daily Telegraph (Sydney daily newspaper) that Starbait has been >cancelled.

But when I saw the film, I was very dissapointed to find out, that the song was never played in the movie, or any Orb song for that matter. It's a trend I've been noticing on movie trailers, they will oftem play music that is not even in the movie. One big example. Moby's new single, the Jame Bond Theme, is used constantly in the Tomorrow Never Dies previews, but the song is never played once in the film. So a Alien Ressurection single with Orb on it, seems very unlikely.

Date: 29 Dec 1997 21:50:48 EST Hello, I hope everybody had a great holiday season. I sure did! One of my friends gave me his Aubrey Mixes cd! Joy. But I have a few problems and was wondering if someone might be able to help. I would really appreciate it. First of all, my friend isn't nearly as anal as I am when it comes to the upkeep of cds. The top of the cd with the title and song listings is scratched up. It doesn't mess with the sound quality of the cd obviously, but it's just one of those things that bugs me. So I was thinking about doing a paint touch up on it. Does anyone have recommendations of a type of paint to use? Model paint? Or has anyone ever attempted this themselves? It's a white top....so maybe some White Out..lol Second, he gave me the cd without the case. So I was wondering, and I'm sure this is a weird request, but does anyone have an extra Aubrey Mixes case with jacket? Or maybe someone could make me a color photocopy of their jacket. Then I could just laminate it or something. I don't know....someone please help. I really hate just keeping this in an empty case. Happy New Year!

STATEMENT Date: 31 Dec 1997 18:42:57 PST We proudly announce the official start of J.A.M.M. on 1.January 1998. For more information, read the FAQ below or visit the J.A.M.M. homepage at http://www.xoom.com/wwwjamm Frequently Asked Questions: What is J.A.M.M.? J.A.M.M., a.k.a. "Joined Against Millennium Madness" is a worldwide non-profit organization of people to fight against "Millennium Madness" of all kind. J.A.M.M. membership is absolutely free for everybody and no costs are involved. What is "Millennium Madness"? There is no strict defintion of "Millennium Madness" but it depends completely on the interpretation of each J.A.M.M. member and his or her personal opinion. What does it involve to be a member? J.A.M.M. members try to find creative ways to fight against "Millennium Madness". That ranges from simply having fun with whatever project you are involved in to trying to initiate positive changes by making people aware of bad sides of society. Or it can be something completely different. It's only up to you. Initially being a member means that you are listed in the member directory and you'll receive the e-mail traffic sent to the J.A.M.M. mailing list. A lot more can follow from that, but that totally depends on what you are inspired to do. There are no assigned tasks, everything is done by self-motivated action and spontaneous cooperation. How do I become a J.A.M.M. member? Very simple: subscribe to the J.A.M.M. mailing list by sending a mail to ftm-request@iastate.edu with "subscribe" (without quotation marks) in the message body. The mailing list is a place where J.A.M.M. members can announce, plan and discuss their projects. If you would like to be listed in the official member directory on the J.A.M.M. homepage, then send an e-mail with "new member" in the subject line to the mailing list. It should contain your name or pseudonym, your place of residence (city and country) and your web-homepage-address if you have one. The member directory is useful for finding J.A.M.M. members who live near you or share the same interests. What do I do to contribute to J.A.M.M.? Whatever you feel like. That might appear overly loose compared with most organizations. Nobody's telling you what to do and there is no particular threatening urgency being presented to you. More likely, different members will start different projects that they find need to be done, and they might put a call out for volunteers or co-creators. If you are inspired by the proposed project you can then join together in teams, organized whichever way the members choose. Individual teams and projects might well have more specific rules about how things are done and who they want to play with. Is there a connection to the Anti Millennium Army? No, J.A.M.M. has absolutely nothing to do with the Anti Millennium Army. We don't know exactly who they are or why they are against the millennium because there is only very little information avaible about them. Probably, the Anti Millennium Army is an underground organisation of militant fanatics who are either againts the construction of the Millennium Dome in London or the millennium celebration in general. What about Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty? They had big inspirational influence on J.A.M.M. with their work as "JAMs", "KLF", "K Foundation" and recently as "2K". Bill Drummond and Jim Cauty are now "K2 Plant Hire" and they will build "The Great Northern Pyramid of the People" somewhere in Britain. J.A.M.M. is also cooperating with "Gimpo Film Technologies", an organization closely connected to "K2 Plant Hire".
