After waiting ages for them to appear, with David Holmes poncing around with loads of fans licking his boots...They eventually came on. I knew this, because all the lights went out and weird noises started to appear. The music was insane, really improvised, I didn't recognise anything (always a good sign). Unfortunately, the sound system was crap, and over where I was sitting, the speaker kept cutting out (the cable was faulty, so we nominated the tallest person amonst us to hold the cable in place, which she did admirably for about half an hour)... after about 30 minutes of this, Autechre stormed out of the building leaving some roadie to pack up their keyboards. The problem was that our speaker wasn't the only faulty one, one of the main stacks beside the band kept cutting out too! The soundsystem is really crud in there. But that didn't stop Mu-Ziq, DJ Wagonchrist and LeXx Pitter-Patterson coming over to play in the following few weeks. The guy (Phil Kieron I think) who organised the gigs, is in a decent position in the local electronica (I know most people hate that title, but I find it appropriate) scene but I can't see him ever getting these guys again....Its a damn shame, if only they had chosen one of the better venues in Belfast, of which we have maybe 2 that would have been appropriate.

To see it, you must send me a twelve page essay (single spaced) telling me about yourself; your virtues, your faults, your dreams and wishes, and your untold secrets. I will place all entries in a box and once a month I will have my blind cat draw one lucky winner from the box. Upon review of your essay, assuming you meet the requirements, you will be sent a individual user name and password that is valid for only 7 minutes and 7 seconds. If you wish to obtain what you view in those heavenly precious 7 minutes and 7 seconds, you must mail me the contents of your hard drive in glass master cd-rom. Upon review of your files, assuming they are high quality and rare, I will place your name in another box. Once a month, my blind cat will draw one lucky winner from this box. The winner shall be sent an individual login and password valid for 1 day, encrypted within an executable file. Should it be found that this login and password is bestowed upon any other individual than the one it was sent, an encrypted command will be activated and it will erase the contents of your hard drive. Additionally, a magnetic field will be induced upon your processor, effectively reducing its processing speed to 0.7 HZ. Any questions about this offer should be mailed in an envelope containing a 1999 mint one hundred dollar US bill. Questions received will be placed in a box and drawn monthly by my blind cat.

Patterns and Textures is the video. If I recall my Lazlo discography entry right, the CD was titled the same since it came with the video. I think its a collectors item more than anything really. What I think makes it interesting is that it is a continuous mix, it is mixed differently than Ultraworld, and there are slightly different versions of the tracks than on Ultraworld. The music is great -- I mean, it's remixed ultraworld and we all seem to like that. The video is interesting although I wouldn't classify it as brilliant. The fact that they managed to get it produced for a very low cost (less than US$10k if I recall) and they got an interesting product out of it is more cool than anything else. Depending on your spare cash quotient, it would be worth the buy for the real thing if you get it less than around $40. OTOH, don't feel like you've missed out on one of life's treasures if you never get it. If I had a choice between the 40 Minute Blue Room and the Video, I'd pick the Blue Room disc faster than you can blink. - -Steve - -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Steve Shah (sshah@cs.ucr.edu) | SysAdmin/Coder/Gabbernaut/DJ/Writer/Minister http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~sshah | We're not dropping out, we're infiltrating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Seams are for clothes, not music. # 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: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 11:23:32 -0800 From: Steve Shah Subject: (orb) Orb MP3's in general A friend of mine went through a lot of my dance CD's and MP3'ized them. This included an Orb disc or two. His general comment was that unless they were encoded at a very high bitrate, they sounded substantially worse than the real thing. Esp. the Orb. Much of the quiet nuances which make so many of the songs more colorful get quickly lost because they get filtered out as "unnecessary noise". This happens a lot with trance too. Even at 256kbits, he said that there was enough of a difference to justify trying to get the originals. The WAV file of course retained most of the little sounds - -- that just depends on your sound card and recording software. So... for those out there who have the MP3's instead of the real-deal, I wouldn't stop looking for the real stuff. Just use the MP3's to satisfy the hunger for More Orb temporarily. =) I know I've still got some purchases to make myself... =) Peace, love, and rainbows in the sky... - -Steve - -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Steve Shah (sshah@cs.ucr.edu) | SysAdmin/Coder/Gabbernaut/DJ/Writer/Minister http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~sshah | We're not dropping out, we're infiltrating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Seams are for clothes, not music. # 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: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 14:34:22 -0500 (EST) From: "Benjamin L.

As I said before by the way, if you can get it for anywhere near $50.00 it is a bargain (cd and video) because that is what I bought both of my copies for. One last footnote, for those that partake of the alternative substances, the video is highly recommended. - -----Original Message----- From: Steve Shah [SMTP:sshah@cs.ucr.edu] Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 1999 14:18 oozi To: tripp millican Cc: orb@xmission.com Subject: Re: (orb) The new OAA or so it seems On Tue, Feb 09, 1999 at 11:03:13AM -0800, tripp millican wrote: > >> > forgive my ignorance - this is the double patterson/emmerson mix cds - > not 'patterns and textures'? correct? i didnt realize that it was in > demand - are there a lot of people who want this/ what is the going > rate? i see it from time to time, but never pick it up because ive been > told its crap from various people... Patterns and Textures is the video. If I recall my Lazlo discography entry right, the CD was titled the same since it came with the video. I think its a collectors item more than anything really. What I think makes it interesting is that it is a continuous mix, it is mixed differently than Ultraworld, and there are slightly different versions of the tracks than on Ultraworld. The music is great -- I mean, it's remixed ultraworld and we all seem to like that. The video is interesting although I wouldn't classify it as brilliant. The fact that they managed to get it produced for a very low cost (less than US$10k if I recall) and they got an interesting product out of it is more cool than anything else. Depending on your spare cash quotient, it would be worth the buy for the real thing if you get it less than around $40. OTOH, don't feel like you've missed out on one of life's treasures if you never get it. If I had a choice between the 40 Minute Blue Room and the Video, I'd pick the Blue Room disc faster than you can blink. - -Steve - -- ________________________________________________________________________ ______ Steve Shah (sshah@cs.ucr.edu) | SysAdmin/Coder/Gabbernaut/DJ/Writer/Minister http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~sshah | We're not dropping out, we're infiltrating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ Seams are for clothes, not music. # 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. # 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: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 19:55:38 EST From: Catinosboy@aol.com Subject: (orb) seek and ye shall find? hello all- looking for Blue Room (blue lamp mix) that was on the Taking Liberties 2 CD set released in the UK. Does anyone have this, preferably to burn on CD? Or hell, has anyone heard if it's even worth tracking down? Got lots of goodies I can burn in return. Also looking for someone to burn the Patterns & Textures soundtrack. Have it on CD from a cassette copy, but it fades after 45 minutes and, needless to say, interrupts the "flow". E-mail privately (of course) and tell me what you're looking for.

You seem to be conflating two different items: the Patterns and Textures soundtrack CD/LP, and the TEXtures 2CD set. This confusion is fairly common; I've been offered more than one copy of TEXtures in my quest for a copy of the P&T soundtrack. The former is amazing; it has *very* different mixes of some of ABtU's songs, and is essential Orb, AFAIC. It is also insanely hard to find, since the CD was only available with a limited number of the P&T videos and the LP was only available with a limited number of the U.F.Orb LPs. If you see it for less than $40, *buy it*. If you don't want it, I'll take it off of your hands! ;) The TEXtures set is 2 mix CD's/4 LPs, one by Dr. Alex, and one by Darren Emmerson of Underworld. It is OK; nothing to write home about, but if you see it cheap, or are a completeist, you might want it. It was produced by the fine folks who brought us Volume and Trance Europe Express, etc., and if you have all of the TEX discs, you have all of the songs on it. However, they are mixed by the two DJs, even though Alex's disc is in mono. They are both OOP, but I see copies of TEXtures on a semi-regular basis, and have *never* seen a copy of the P&T soundtrack. Chris (P.S. The discography entry for TEXtures is missing a track; Justice Loop by Autocreation. There are 14 tracks on the CD, not the 13 listed in the discography (admittedly, the tracklisting on the CD also only lists 13, but the artist list has all 14 and there are 14 tracks.) # 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: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 17:36:19 -0800 From: Chris Johnson Subject: Re: (orb) The new OAA or so it seems (Malware removed by the XMission administrators) # 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. ------------------------------ End of orb-digest V2 #168 *************************
