Elvis Vs JXL - A Little Less Conversation
by RMStringer 17 Jul '02

17 Jul '02

Although, I do not have the copy being played in Europe, I did extract it from the Breezeblock. I did some editing on the tune and cleaned up some of the FFWD intrusions. I am going to post a copy on my ftp if anyone is interested in getting a copy. I will put it in a folder by itself and with its on password. I will leave it up for 3 days. It is called A little less conversation 1.25. I hope that yall like it, as it is all I have to work with at the moment, since a real pressing is unobtainable to the list as of yet. The password and login will be Elvis. The ip is 66.68.79.118 port 21 :) RMStringer _______________________________________________ Warning: You are no longer who you And tomorrow is yesterday.

If *still* available, would definitely want a copy. Wow, '97... definitely pre-dawson. I've been lurking for about 3 or 4 months now and never heard anything ideas on the topic. If it has been that long, is it because "once done, why do it again" kind of thing? </curiosity> -----Original Message----- From: Chris Johnson [mailto:chrisjohnson@hydro-mill.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 2:59 PM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Orb] orb fan cd Chris Dawson wrote: > > Anyone here make music inspired by the orb?

RE: [Orb] BOB MP3 question
by John Goelzer 17 Jul '02

Anyone...anyone? Has nobody ordered the BadOrb MP3s before??? JG -----Original Message----- From: John Goelzer [mailto:johng@engberganderson.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 4:12 PM To: 'orb(a)mailman.xmission.com' Subject: [Orb] BOB MP3 question First of all, I'm super excited about BOB14. The tracks sound great. On a practical note, I'm interested in using one of the tracks in my set on an upcoming tour, even if it means playing it from MiniDisc (there's no way I'll get the vinyl in time). I'm considering ordering the MP3s for this purpose, but am wondering about MP3 "turnaround time." When you order a BOB as MP3, do they email you a password to download it right away, or do you have to wait for a certificate to show up via snail mail? I need to jump on this like this weekend or next week, so immediate access would be ideal. I also don't want to place the order and still be waiting for the access codes when we leave, as then the MP3 money will be wasted (I'll be ordering multiples on wax regardless). Any info appreciated. JG _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb

BOB MP3s
by John Goelzer 17 Jul '02

17 Jul '02

Thanks for Nick and Chris for their responses. Given how this seems to work, it doesn't seem like I'd have the MP3 in time, which would be a shame as I had a whole set built around the first track from BOB14. I also didn't realize until I asked Nick that in order to get MP3s you need to subscribe, that you can't buy tracks or even BOBs individually as MP3s. I am considering emailing Gardonia, letting them know that I plan to buy multiple vinyl copies of BOB14, and asking politely if they'd consider "giving" me the MP3 for that track. There is some precedent for this in that they previously gave me (codes for) some MP3s as compensation for some serious order fulfillment snafus I experienced in the early days (you might remember reading my extensive gripes on this list). Garphoo also promised me a CD (presumably "Bless You") to make up for all the hassles (which were considerable, ate up *way* too much of my free time), but I haven't seen that yet... JG

Bless You
by mariuschan 17 Jul '02

17 Jul '02

Hello Orbists, I found a copy of Bless You in a second hand shop today, and couldn't resist buying it - and very nice it is too! Trouble is, I've already ordered a copy. Would anyone be interested in doing a trade? I'll trade my copy for a cdr of orb/ badorb stuff. I also have bobs 1-3 and loads of orignal remix cds to trade if anybody wants, Marius.

Didn't a band called "Instrumental" do a cover of Little Fluffy Clouds on classical instruments a few years ago? I think I've heard it on the radio before. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Dawson [mailto:ChrisD@productsafet.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 2:38 PM To: 'orb(a)mailman.xmission.com' Subject: [Orb] orb fan cd Anyone here make music inspired by the orb?

RE: [Orb] Bless You in Canada
by Rob_King 17 Jul '02

Hi James, Someone else also emailed me and told me that www.amazon.ca has it. However the price is something like $31.00 Canadian, and I was hoping I could find it for cheaper, so I'm going to hold out for another week or so and see what happens. The best price for Bless You I've seen so far was at www.half.com. It's an American company, but for $15.00 US you can't go wrong. Anyhow thanks for your help. I use mymusic.com all the time for electronica stuff, and they were the first place I checked - but as you said, it's not in stock yet. Perhaps I'll just wait for them. Cheers, Rob -----Original Message----- From: James Drysdale [mailto:james.drysdale@utoronto.ca] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 11:40 PM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Orb] Bless You in Canada Well, mymusic.ca has it listed, but they don't have it in stock yet: http://www.mymusic.com/product.asp?curr=1&muzenbr=454798 I've found that their prices are usually much more reasonable than the other Canadian online stores, and it's usually worth the wait for them to get it in stock. Also: How come all the tracklistings for Bless You only show 2 tracks?? Is this right??? james : Does anybody happen to know of any good mailorder record stores in Canada : that I can order "Bless You" from, without having to pay an arm and a leg : for it? : : On a completely unrelated note, I picked up DJ Shadow's "Private Press" last : weekend. It's great! Actually quite awe-inspiring what the man can do with : his plastic, being as he explicitly uses records for the source (and I think : vocals were added on one track, but that's it). Also recently read an : article about how he happened to luck in and get thousands of European : new-wave records from the 1980s that were vaulted up for 15 years or so. : Anyhow, I fully recommend it. _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb

2003 List
by Alan Evil 17 Jul '02

17 Jul '02

One suggestion is New Orleans at Halloween! It's like Mardi Gras but without the drunk tourists. And it's usually not too horribly hot. I've got to agree that Costa Rica would also be very sweet. It's a little tough to get to but it's safe and astonishingly beautiful. Just as long as we don't hit it during the monsoon season... Maybe Iceland at the summer solstice (sunshine all the time!). A Burning Man style location would be super righteous as well. The physical danger involved in the desert would mean a lot more responsibility for the organizers but you don't have to worry much about rain. There are plenty of really vast stretches of public land here in the States and getting the permits for a large show is not too expensive. You just have to guarantee clean up and port-o-potties and I'm sure there's liability insurance. Any other suggestions? British Columbia or Easter Island...?
