I do have a word of warning though if anyone besides me would be attending this show -- the security there think they're GOD, and love to harass people. They want to sell you everything and will frisk you so that you don't bring any contraband like *decent food* so, expect to pay Woodstock '94 prices for water, soda, beer, and what have you. I have said in the past that I would not go back to WC (a venue that normally has shit like *Whitney Houston*, *Sting*, *Bette Midler*, *Billy Ray Cyrus*, *Styx*, *Foreigner*, etc. -- all those old phart mega-tours) even if it were the fucking Beatles -- all FOUR of them. I went to the first Lollipoplosers there and saw security beat up a guy for doing nothing more than rolling down the hill -- he was having the time of his life, shame they ruined it. I've been several other times (obliged to go for different reasons) and it's been the exact same every single time. Orbital vs. Orb -- hmmm? Two different bands, similar name. I like them both. Out of favour in the UK? Well, that's *their* problem, innit? Sun Ra Arkestra? I'm a BIG Arkestra fan .. let me know if anyone's got any tapes .... c'ya db ------------------------------ From: dmotut@robson.jumppoint.com Date: Sat, 13 Jul 1996 10:27:11 -0700 Subject: ...playlist...

The Orb didn't make it onto the soundtracks for Mortal Kombat or Hackers, which I imagine is where most of the new Orbital fans are hearing Orbital for the first time. Halcyon+On+On is a geek mating call. So, when is Auntie Aubrey's going to be released again? My local import shops have never heard of it, and none of them believe it's a legit release given the screwball title. esch@fische.com (Eschatfische.) --------------------------------- http://www.fische.com ------------------------------ From: Datboy Date: Sat, 13 Jul 1996 15:57:18 -0400 Subject: Re: orb Digest V2 #6 Hi What's the label and cat # of the Remix CD and the double Peel sessions?

It's a legal release on Deviant (from the makers of Volume and Trance Europe Express). It's a double CD or 4 x blue vinyl lp with 72 page book with the Orb story and complete discography / mixography. It will be released tomorrow (july 15th) in Europe and contains 18 remixes. Next to recent remixes their are some very, very hard to find mixes on it. For me a new mix for Primal Scream's Higher than the Sun (8.46!). They also threw some new samples in some of the mixes and a lot of mixes are mixed in an ambient way (the intro's come into the beatless endings). All mixes are at full lenght! Volume 2 of this remixproject is already made and hopefully arrive soon. The second Peel Sessions (92-95) is not a double CD. It's on the BBC's Strange Fruit label and contains 4 session The Orb did for the popular radio show from John Peel. OOBE and No Fun from 1992 and Montage d'or and Valley from 1995. BTW UK magazine Vox gave a free tape with the june edition called The Mark Radcliffe Sessions from BBC radio 1. On it a very nice and much better radiosession from Montage D'or (6.12) Nico ------------------------------ From: D L Evans Date: Sun, 14 Jul 1996 20:52:05 Subject: Re: Lotsa Orb stuff auction update... >D L Evans wrote: >> Snipped ORb auction >> >> I bid $15 >> >> >> >> " prono is theme" > >> >Congrats.

It is especially small for full-on concerts. The Orb and Moby played the same room last year, but the stage is cramped, the ceiling is low. Maybe a few hundred people can fit in there, but it was way too crowded and the ventilation was hardly adequate. The club was packed solid. People were told they could buy tickets ahead or just to be in line by 10pm. My friend and I were there at 9:30 and there was already a long line. If the show had been in Avalon next door there would have been no problem and the show may still have sold out in a room that can fit 2,000. Avalon does big club business on Fridays, so maybe it was not available. Boston lacks a decent range of rock and dance concert venues for a city that prides itself so much on its music! Underworld played Avalon in June and had a good crowd I understand but not a sellout crowd and the Underworld show was barely promoted here. I think the Orbital show had more hype around it. Spacetime Continuum (Jonah Sharp) was due on at 11pm. Orbital at midnight. There was to be a live radio broadcast In Axis the speakers are either on the floor or just over the heads of the audience. It was a loud concert that got way too loud, so I was glad to have my big ugly green earplugs for the last half, allowing me to catch the sound to dance to without having my head feel shellshocked throught the next day. There are large square pillars that block view of stage from the sides. Not really a good concert venue. The music was excellent and the helmets on the Hartnoll Brothers (with the lamps that in the darkness looked like alien eyes scanning the audience) and the laser light and the projections behind the stage were all enjoyable, but again not enough room, especially to do the light show justice. > I recently tried to get into the Orbital concert in Boston at the Axis > club.

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. So, there's my view of the concert.

The stage is large and the show was great... have been waiting 5 years to see them, so long I was almost uninterested. I am still waiting to see the Orb, they were in Miami last year... but I was in Paris (got to see Massive Attack, so it wasn't that dissapointing to miss them). The closest I got was DJ Lewis opening for Autechre 3 yrs ago. Hoping the Enit will be comming here as planned...

I would have to agree, I saw LX and DJ Lewis a couple of years ago DJing in Atlanta, they spun for about 5 hours, It was insane.....

All their Orb= stuff=20 >is _way_ overpriced. You're right. I made a mistake. Sister Ray keeps the price at unbelievable hights. I meant Reckless Records. Just like MVE second hand but almost all The Orb items are for very very very reasonable prices for good to mint quality. Saw the misspressing from Perpetual Dawn (you know the picturedisc playing Towers of Dub) at Sister Ray for =A375. Walked across the road and bought it at Reckless for =A335 in mint condition. The same with the blue vinyl promo Pomme Fritz. At Sister Ray a think something about =A330. At Reckless bought it for =A310! again in mint condition. Sorry for the confusion at the first message.
