Orb related question to all (sorry if I missed it the first time)? I recently purchased an old orb cd on e-bay and am sure the quality must have been better when it was pressed. In years to come I hope to still be listening to my orb collection in the old peoples home. Apart from the obvious, does anyone have any suggestions for cd data preservation? Should the complete set be reburn't every 10 or 20(?) years onto (silver) discs, or kept on hard disc? Any suggestions? bill # 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, 4 Sep 2001 18:23:35 -0400 From: "Dan Kelly" Subject: (orb) bot removed is anyone still here? i just re-joined, i guess we all bot removed from the list. odd - i'm still here, didn't need to re-sub. re: recent Orb shows - anyone have any recordings ? dan # 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: Wed, 5 Sep 2001 13:24:46 +0300 From: "vleca" Subject: Re: (orb) bot removed /new fan Yo Dan, Panshui here from Romania. I just joined the list and as you, I'm wondering who's here and if there's any activity out here. Anyway, if there's anyone out there, I'm 17, my real name is Leca Radu, male. Let me explain why I like Orb: in 2000 I became a fan of Jean-Michel Jarre, and now I'm a huge fan, and without bragging maybe the most active JMJ fan in Romania. However, after a while I became interested in other electronic acts as well, and so I began to listen to Underworld, FSOL, Orbital, Leftfield, Apollo 440, Chemical Bros, Fatboy Slim etc. But in Romania, this kinda music is extremely hard to find, and so I had heard of The Orb before, but couldn't listen to any of their music. That is, until I made a trip to Turkey and found there a single with Toxygene. I absolutely loved everything on that single! WoW! PLus I discovered some live album from 93 on MP3, and I loved it aswell, and so I want to hear more and to know more 'bout them! So, if anyone can help me, where could I find albums to download, and, in general, info 'bout this band, or some other mailing lists I can subscribe to? I'm a real beginner, but willing to learn, so help me! I can tell you about Jarre, if you want :0) If anyone of you is Romanian or has heard of Romanian Orb fans, please let me know (although the chances are very low :0) Another question: I found an album called "2001: A Space Orbyssey" on a FTP site. Is this an Orb album? Anyway, the music is great. Bye for now!

Been an Orb fan since 1993, when I bought UF Orb on a whim from Echoes in PA. I just about died when I got it, because I thought it was SO weird. It was nothing like anything I'd heard before. I listened to it, left it on the shelf, and didn't open it for another 6 months. During the summer of 93, I flew to visit my cousin, and took that CD on the plane. First time I'd heard it in headphones. Anyway, I listened to it carefully, loved every minute of it, and bought every damned Orb CD I could find. I now have all their official albums, all of their singles, and most of their remixes on other artists' singles. I've got damn near 75 Orb or Orb-related CDs now. Great stuff; keep it coming, Alex!! :) Also I have all the Bobs from the Badorb. Great stuff. :) - -=brian=- # 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: Wed, 5 Sep 2001 12:13:02 -0400 From: "Meredith, Justin" Subject: (orb) auntie aubrey 2 i am really digging this album. i noticed Alex is still using the Electribes to mix.

I did it, but suggest that you listen to Teatime with Alex 01/25/2001 for the original music. (Groovetech.com, Archives). Being an orb fundamentalist you will see that I mixed in 95% Alex or related people (KLF,FFWD,Art of Noise, etc). Another list member (Jeff) kindly uploaded it to the site and also provided me one of the tracks (Physic Warriors of Gai), that was edited and added in to be Hals' Brain!!

WOW!! Just saw Richie Hawtin play lastnight at LUSH nightclub lastnight, and he was f'ing amazing! Tables and a mixer for about 1.5 hours,then he started imcorporating his roland 909, EFX, and sampling from his laptop. He played a wide range of styles from hard/acid techno, tribal, dub and acid house. Well worth checking out if he comes to your town. Peace n' burnin trees to all.
