I really liked the Conduit 12", so when I noticed the similarity between "Snowblind" and "Outer Space," I was kinda into it, actually. One man's garbage... What I don't remember, though, is any clue (a la "FT Explores Satan," etc.) that LX was involved with Conduit...? I do think that "Outer Space" is quite a bit slower than "Snowblind," innit? JG

Yea, agreed. I figure Outerspace is a remix or cover of snowblind, (or the other way around.) I just figured if it's an orb LP it should have more originally. I've been listening to Red worm for quite some time from Alex's early playings of this song and the only real new song to me is cool harbour. Oh well. I like cool harbour. :-D Just a little longer for the Battersea Shield album. -peace out --- marcolphus <markolf(a)kompit.com.pl> wrote: >I finally got Orb's EP and I've got a question: >Why 'Outer Space' sounds also the same like 'Snowblind (the void mix)' ?? >I think it sucks :-( >-- >== gry dodawane do czasopism ================ http://www.markolf.fr.pl == >== http://members.tripod.com/markolf === fluke & voo voo discographies == > >_______________________________________________ >Orb mailing list >Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb _____________________________________________________________ Get email for your site ---> http://www.everyone.net _____________________________________________________________ Promote your group and strengthen ties to your members with email(a)yourgroup.org by Everyone.net http://www.everyone.net/?btn=tag

mystery Orb
by dx dx 15 Jun '02

15 Jun '02

June 14 It looked like something from a sci-fi flick: a mysterious silver orb, three feet in diameter, floating in the surf off the South Carolina coast. "They thought it was a giant beach ball, they were going to bring in," said Marie Segneri, whose family found the orb floating near their rented beach house at Isle of Palms. "They swam out and said it was a very heavy ball, it was metal, had numbers on it, and there was no way they were bringing it in." The ball eventually washed up on the shore, causing alarmed residents to call the police. Authorities marked off an area around the orb with crime-scene tape and tried to identify it. They turned to members of the Air Force bomb squad, the Coast Guard and state officials for help, but no one could identify the strange object. There were numbers on the surface of the orb, but no other clues that helped determine its origin. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration were contacted, but even they had no answers. A Flotation Device... Maybe Because of its weight several hundred pounds there's speculation it might be a flotation device used by a dredge company. But that theory only adds to the mystery the orb has no fasteners on it where a line or cable might have been attached. "We're calling it a UFO an unidentified floating object," Isle of Palms Fire Chief Ann Graham told The Associated Press. According to The Associated Press, the orb cracked in half as it was being brought to the town's public works department. But the inside was as revealing as the outside only seawater spilled out. "There was nothing green, nothing glowing," Graham told the news agency. "It will probably just go to the scrap yard." -from ABCnews.com I wish I found "the orb floating near my rented beach house at Isle of Palms".... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

Elvis in Breezeblock session
by Rob_King 14 Jun '02

Hi folks, Moondog, I'm sorry to hear about your PC being stolen. That always sucks, no matter what was on it. On a positive note, I'm sure you'll be able to get everything back from the many supporters on this list. On a related note, is there an ftp site which has a copy of the 'good' Elvis song that was played on the Breezeblock set a while ago? I'm referring to the version that LX has been spinning, and NOT the crappy JXL remix version. Oh, and for kicks, someone told me about the official Elvis website (http://www.elvis.com) where you get your own Elvis Email Address! harhar!

I remember because I was in my intro to Premere Class when I read it. Basically someone interviewed Alex about what he thought the orb was and what he was up to and stuff and he said that now he sees himself as in several bands not just the orb. He then gives us all sneak peeks at his -now- current projects naming Witchman and him in Multiverse and simon Philips and him in Prayerbox, Fil and him in Autolump and finally he and Nick in LostWoods o' Timber. I'm so sad I copied and pasted it onto a text file to study but have since lost it. I'm sure if anyone want's to waste a day or two looking they'll find it buried in the archives but I'll pass. > > -peace out > > --- Chris Johnson <chrisjohnson(a)hydro-mill.com> wrote: > >Noraa Selim wrote: > >> > >> >Wasn't it accepted that it was actually by 'schem' and > >> >the title was: 'lost timber of woods' (or something similar?) > > > >AFAIR, it was still up in the air, with some leaning towards 4.5 being > >the "original" Ayumi remixes, before Avex got cranky. > > > >> COrrect, I read in the article that it's alex and nick burton (I > >> think) The Alex part is confermed though.

New Orb?
by Ed 14 Jun '02

14 Jun '02

Taking a quick break from watching today's 4 World Cup games on tape. I am so excited because Brasil won 5 to 2 over Costa Rica. On to the second round. Smiley must also be happy, great game against Argentina :) While in Northern Cali last week picked up the 2002 Reggae Festival Guide which I find every year when I visit. On the last page there is an ad for Shanachie Records. 3/4 down the page it says: Augustus Pablo - East of The River Nile This special 25th Anniversary edition of one of the greatest reggae albums of all time includes six rare bonus tracks, including the ultra-rare original version of the title track, dubs of key album tracks and two other rare singles as well as testimonials from Lee Scratch Perry, THE ORB, Sly & Robbie and more! Will try and track down a copy this weekend. Now back to the games..................... FVLL PS Still looking for a program from the games if anyone can help
