We [canadian school > people] tend to see a lot of films from them :-) Well, each province does have their own school boards. But you're right, they don't produce films. They still show some of those old nature documentaries on late-night television. I think that you'd have a pretty decent ambient album if you recorded and spliced together a few of the soundtracks from those shows. No mixing required. But one has to wonder why they decided to name the group Boards of Canada, when there is only one national film board. Now what were we talking about before? # 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. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 11:51:26 -0800 From: Ability Biomechanics Intl Inc Subject: (orb) terrarum desktop Hello Orbsters! I need help!!!!! That nasty Satan virus ate everything in my computer. I am looking all over for the Orbus Terrarum desktop theme that I had on my computer, but I can't find a download site anywhere! Is it still available? I have ABTU on my other computer and the Orblivion screensaver, but I miss Terrarum!

Hansen" Subject: (orb) Finally.. After about 2.5 months since I ordered the beast I've finally recieved U.F.Off from Rough Trade Shop in London. The reason it took so long, apparently, was the guy I ordered it from got sick so the order couldn't be processed but fortunately he's back and I've got my CDs. It was 15 quid I believe which is not too bad I guess. So far I've only had time to listen to the 1st CD but it's pretty satisfactory I think, some good picks there. Nothing else.. I guess... oh wait... Will there be another Spherical out?

There are three copies of the limited edition Video + CD here on the Isle of Wight (HMV) - copies which must have only just arrived because they weren't here when I went to London on October 22nd.
