I wouldn't normally do this on the list but this might interest you guys. I just finished mixing down a remix for an artist I'm working with. I would call this mix sort of 'orbish'. It's track 08 in the mp3 player on my site. The track is called 'Old Moon' and will be released on CD and "10 vinyl as a b-side later this year. I just posted it so if you guys can be my first audience, your feedback [and praise :)] would be greatly appreciated. http://www.floor115.com ------------------------------------ m a r t Â l e p p i k Â - Â floor115 ------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________ Try AOL and get 1045 hours FREE for 45 days! http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/index.adp?375380 Get AOL Instant Messenger 5.1 for FREE!

>> Windows doesn't like single files much over 2GB >> Chris I use Wavelab to capture the stream &/or Offline Explorer to dl the actual rm file. I'm not sure if Soundforge has this feature - Wavelab does: you can set what's called an autoslipt function, therefore bypassing the 2GB limit. If I'm capturing the set, I set the auto split to 650 Mb (you can set file size or time). This way, it will always fit onto a CD-R with no effort. Last week's show gave me 4 files. By the way - was that even him? I had video off, he was late, and I never heard him introduce himself or say anything. --- On a side note - I tend not to even burn the sets to WAV. I blew $200 CAN on a TDK Mojo mp3 player for the car and just keep all the sets in mp3 on CD-Rs. About 3 sets/CD-R. Just tag the mp3 players properly and you're off to the races. I figured it was a way better investment than yet ANOTHER 50 or 100 CD-R spindle....

Bicycles & Tricycles
by Grant Whitehouse 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

Does anyone know what the "Bicycles and Tricycles" track is that seems to be around in a couple of places on Soulseek? I must say it sounds amazing - but isnt how I expected the new CD to sound at all. It sounds very old style Orb. Perhaps its something from years ago - it starts with a sample about "the year 2026" and "do you suppose we'll have to wait that long to see robots?" Cheers Grant

[Orb] OT: the wonders that bush has wrought upon US foreign relations.
by Ben May 19 Mar '03

This just crossed the AP newswire: U.S., Russia Delay Nuclear Weapons Treaty By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 3:57 p.m. ET MOSCOW (AP) -- Russian lawmakers postponed indefinitely a vote Tuesday to ratify a U.S.-Russian nuclear arms treaty, as the parliament speaker warned that a war against Iraq could endanger the pact. The treaty, agreed to last May by Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Bush, requires that the two nations cut their strategic nuclear arsenals by about two-thirds, to 1,700 to 2,200 deployed warheads each, by 2012. The treaty was seen as more advantageous to Russia than the now-defunct START II agreement, which specifically banned Russia from deploying land-based missiles with multiple warheads. The new deal would leave it to each nation to decide which weapons it will scrap. That would let Russia keep its Soviet-built multiwarhead SS-18 and SS-19 missiles at the core of its nuclear arsenal. Russia's lower house, the State Duma, had been expected to take up debate on the treaty Friday. But the Duma Council, which sets the legislative agenda, put off the vote indefinitely and did not set a new date. ``We consider ratification very important, but now this step is not justified,'' said Sergei Shishkaryov, the deputy chairman of the Duma's international affairs committee. He added that ``in essence, we are standing on the threshold of World War III.'' The U.S. Senate unanimously approved the treaty earlier this month, a move widely seen as part of a diplomatic effort to win Russian support for a tougher line against Iraq. But Russia opposed a U.S.-backed draft resolution at the U.N. Security Council threatening the use of force against Iraq. President Bush has abandoned diplomatic efforts at the United Nations and given Saddam Hussein until Wednesday night to leave the country or face war. ``In the event of an American strike on Iraq the fate of the entire treaty will be in question,'' Gennady Seleznyov, speaker of the Duma, said during a visit to the Czech capital, Prague. ``The Americans are striking at international law,'' he said, according to the Interfax news agency. Tuesday's postponement reflected the ambivalence of post-Cold War Russian-U.S. relations. Washington and Moscow have pursued closer ties, but the Kremlin bridles at what it regards as a U.S. penchant for unilateral action, such as its withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty. Some Russian lawmakers lashed out at the United States over Iraq. ``Let them know there is a serious nuclear power that will really provide for the security of the entire world community and will never allow itself to act by the laws of the jungle,'' Interfax quoted Seleznyov as saying. Other lawmakers cautioned their colleagues against making rash decisions that could imperil the nuclear treaty and strain the overall U.S.-Russian relationship. Sergei Mironov, the speaker of Russia's upper house of parliament, called the decision to put off ratification a mistake. ``This treaty plays an important strategic role for both Russia and the United States,'' Mironov said, according to the Interfax-Military news agency reported. ------- So now not only are we not living a brave new world where the US and russia don't need treaties, but we're living in one where they HAVE no treaties AND are pissed at one another over an impending military conflict. Fucking wonderful... _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8. Get 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/featuredemail

I hadn't listened to this in a long time and I didn't remember how catchy and truly unique it is compared to other versions. It's definitely worth checking out.

Here's my nominations for the Orbies: Best show: Quart Fest 7-23-94 (Awesome sound, killer Outlands and Assassin, I'm a sucker for the live bass and drums shows though.) Best LX Set: Betalounge 8-30-00 (A few rough spots at the beginning, but when it gets going, it cooks like none other!) Best Blue Room: Since someone mentioned this track, which of course is also one of my favorites, I have to say that the version on the Teatime Special with Steve Hillage (I think the date is 10-18-01, but not sure) completely rules every other live version I've heard and I believe it clocks in at over 40 minutes too, great guitar work from Mr. Hillage throughout. >From: Rene <bay_addict(a)yahoo.com> >Reply-To: What were the skies like when you were >young?<orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >To: What were the skies like when you were young? ><orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: Re: [Orb] re: best show? + help me please >Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 11:48:44 -0800 (PST) > > >probably the "dipping into the cyberworld" disc. as far as i've heard >anyway. :) > Corbett De Rush <c_orb(a)hotmail.com> wrote: >Hi all, first a little poll: > >What is your favorite hi quality *recorded* orb show(or lx works too guess) >I prefer as little crowd noise as possible meself... > > >....and can anyone point me to where I can get the patterns and textures >soundtrack(like an ftp, or kdx server, or soulseek user) I am having no >luck >and it sucks!
