Gutted about Ezzie Fezzie. Am gonna go to Big Chill's festival in a castle instead though ("gee- is that a genuine British Castle"- I can hear you Americans cry- yes it is). Would be well up for doing an Orbular event- it would go off, big time. Have got a fair bit of event organising experience under my belt, but am off to Costa Rica for a couple of weeks, so I'll see whatago'on when I return.

According to http://www.essentialfestival.com/: "It is with very sad regret that Essential Entertainments are announcing the cancellation of the forthcoming Essential Festival due to be held over the 3rd and 4th August in LondonÂ¹s Hackney Marshes. Essential have made this very difficult decision after considering a number of issues in the build up to the event. The disastrous Rock Day at BristolÂ¹s Essential Festival has created significant financial difficulties for the event, which have not been able to be sufficiently resolved. In addition to this, the site suffered considerable damage after the adverse weather conditions that Mardi Gras had to face last weekend, with the result that Essential are not wholly confident that the location would be suitable for hosting the festival. This year has also seen a substantial slump in the market for outdoor events, with the notable exceptions of Glastonbury and Oasis, with many of the major events being subject to low attendance."

Half.com has some copies of Bless You at very competitive prices, especially if you don't mind promo notches in the spine.

A new cr..??
by Chain Reaction 12 Jul '02

12 Jul '02

Dear Music Friends, I've been granted permission to buy a new pc (yes!) here at work, which means that cr's can make a restart in a few weeks, probably. Thanx to everyone who sent me copies of some of the 'stolen' stuff, or who at least had the intention... ;-) . There's a ftp site running now on my old pc (details have been posted before), but it's a slow piece of garbage with far too little hd space. I will keep you boyz & girlz informed. In the meantime...stay cool, sweet and friendly, Grtzzzz, Steph... -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Save up to $160 by signing up for NetZero Platinum Internet service. http://www.netzero.net/?refcd=N2P0602NEP8

A little too late to nab this one. The only copy I've seen up for sale. Ever! But I believe the CD has a bonus track or two, so maybe it works out best in the long run. Hope somebody on the list got it though! FVLL >The Eternity Project One LP listed.

Floor Magazine (Japan)
by JC DERRIEN 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

Maybe I wrote about this before, but I found in Tokyo a Japanese magazine about techno that is highly recommended IMHO. It's called Floor Magazine http://www.floor-net.com I bought the Vol 41 (July 2002) with LX on the cover. Features BLESS YOU Double Page Ad 6 Pages with LX Interview and Bad Orb groups (all in Japanese, of course) Dj report from his Yellow set April 28 including his play list with The Orb : Green Ginger ??? (BadOrb.com) If you stay in Tokyo for a few weeks, it's an essential purchase, it contains a poster with every club schedules and who plays where. And the ads, the designs are great...

RE: [Orb] Bless You - What Gives?
by John Goerner 11 Jul '02

I would contact badorb again. As much as they have screwed up (damaged shipments, crappy website, dishonest representation of the limited nature of the releases), everytime I emailed them they corrected the problem quickly. However if they dont, have at it. Its a shame these things happen, especially since they dont seem to fix them.
