They usually have a set of short clips that they use for these bits (if they're like our station in Lousiville they play the same ones over and over and over and over... and won't play mine!) but sometimes it is a song being played by the NPR show (like All Things Considered or Morning Edition) during the break. You should be able to contact your station's music director fairly easily to get the answer to the question. Funny thing about NPR is it's the only station in this city that plays anything electronica-ish (this does not include the pap played on all the satellite radio stations like Janet Jackson and family). > Subject: [Orb] Fireman ( McCartney & Youth..) > > Bbbrooo(a)aol.com asked: (re: Fireman} > "I'm intrigued, is this music any good?" > > chilled, ambient, very nice - should appeal to Orb fans. get the "Rushes" > cd; also a nice dub on the Liverpool Sound Collage cd. > the "Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest" cd is several variations of the same > track. > dan > I just went and dug my 1993 copy of this album out of my collection to give it another listen. I remember thinking at the time that it was pretty cool. Hell, the Beatles were one of the first to create soundscapes on records and definately sold more copies of them than any of the prog rockers (I think "The Wall" might have beaten out Sgt. Peppers on total sales but who's counting beans?) so it should be no surprise that McCartney would be into what is THE pop sound of today. Even the Stones (those wonderful thieves) have delved into modern electronic sounds. I'm burning it now and if I can figure out how to upload to Chain Reaction, I'll send a few songs up. I would like to suggest the band Material (especially Seven Souls and Hallucination Engine) for all y'all. This is a Bill Laswell thing (with Anton Fier, Bootsy Collins, and many others). I've got a bunch of really rare Laswell things I'm going to upload to CR... as soon as I figure it out. I can produce huge audio pieces on my computer but I can't even get ftp programs to work... > Subject: [Orb] RE: Artists similar to the Orb > Reply-To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com > > A bit OT but anyway; > -System 7 I love this group! Alex was heavily involved in the first album (777) as was Brainand many other incredible talents... I've recently realized that someone stole most of my cd singles.

> Yeah. We told you it was shit ;-) Did "you" really? When? I didn't mean to restate the obvious or the already-stated; I thought consensus on the list was that the LX-spun mix had been "found" in this crap JunkieXL release. To which I say: "keep looking." Sorry. I thought I was setting things straight. JG

In fact, the JunkieXL version SUCKS compared to both the original Elvis tune and whatever mix LX was playing. Hacks. JG

>Doesn't that MP3 Archive have the ByTesized Nuns >demos? >They came from the big acquisition a few years back. Hey Gavin! Yes - you are right. I already have this thanks to the archive :) However, what I want to find out is: 1. what label released it, 2. what the sku numbers are, 3. if it is available on LP, 4. if anyone has a scan of the cover? 5. who is willing to sell it to me :) Cheers mates :) BTW, Enough about the spamming argument... Blah blah blah.
