Hi all, I recall hearing something about LX, Robert Fripp and the other guys having finished up material for a second FFWD album. Does anybody know the status on this? I'd have to say that the first one is definitely in a league of its own; quite amazing really. I can't wait to hear what another one would sound like! - - Jeph # 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: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 01:25:27 -0700 (PDT) From: A Johnston Subject: (orb) Better never than late? Challenge people's beliefs. Stand up for what you believe and don't back down (um, until you should). Be unafraid to push boundries, and willing to acknowledge when you've pushed too far. I am impressed by the participant's fire and spark. Their passion is admirable. Also, the complainers should be congratulated. Everyone was very patient and mellow, which is why when the dam burst... ...but at least they have part of their crops, and can hope for a good harvest...

Yes, Mike Leigh directed Naked. I think it's the movie where David Thewliss (voice on SALT) gets chocolate licked off his chest by Jane Horrocks (Absolutely Fabulous / Little Voice) though I'm probably wrong. As for the start of Toxygene, I think "Oh what a beauty..." is from a early seventies soft-porn / musical UK movie and refers to a cucumber. Not that I've seen it or anything but I'm sure it was featured on a BBC2 documentary in 1998. One of those Alfie Bass and Mary Millington movies - very silly. Think around the same time as those "Confessions of a ....." type of movie. Did Britain produce some crap movies or what.

This is what I love about the Orb list, we all seem to have similar tastes in film, etc. The best apocalyptic type film I've seen is Peter Weir's THE LAST WAVE.
