Hello, As you probably know The Orb are out of favour in the UK at the moment. It's all Orbital now. So the prices at Sister Ray and at Music and Video Exchange at Notting Hill Gate are very reasonable. And I saw the promo a couple of month ago in Holland at a record fair for 30 guilders. It;s the same with the blue vinyl promo of Pomme Fritz. Nico > "Penalties against possession of a drug should * Harmony@xs4all.nl > not be more damaging to an individual than the * Roelant J.C.

Remember the discussions on this list and the ambient list on both albums?. Both albums were received wih mixed feelings and maybe you know how Uk magazines are always looking for new hypes. And the Orb didn't fit in so at that moment so....... And at that moment Orbital played for two years stunning live sets at Glastonbury and came with Snivilisation and In Sides. But it's nice to see that Aunties remix project was welcomed with very good critics in the UK. But after all it's what I like and not what some of the mags in the UK write about it.

Anyway, I recently tried to get into the Orbital concert in Boston at the Axis club. It was my first experience trying to go to an ambient/trance show, and I was suprised when I couldn't get in. The line was perpetually long and I was convinced I wouldn't have trouble getting in to see a band that so little of the U.S. has heard of. My question is...are all concerts of this type that difficult to get into? Should I show up a few hours early just to get in? I'd like to know because I plan on trying to get to see ENIT in NJ next month... d_scott ************************************************************************** * * * * D.

I'm not at all surprised that you had trouble getting in -- Orbital may not be MTV-mainstream, but they're probably one of the best-known bands in the genre.

It's probably safe to say they're more popular then The Orb are. yeah, it really amazes me how many people i meet who are into techno or ambient or experimental or dance club music or psychedelic music in general - who have never heard of the orb. sometimes if you mention "little fluffy clouds" they'll know that one song, but not even that always. in fact, i recently commented to a friend who is in a techno band called the replikants here in oly that their music reminded me of a darker more punk influenced version of the orb, and he didn't know who they were. - - ricardo wang ------------------------------ End of orb Digest V2 #6 *********************** To subscribe to orb Digest, send the command: subscribe orb-digest in the body of a message to "majordomo@xmission.com".
