Orb list digests
by Andrew Krieg 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

FYI for digest subscribers - I sent the following to the owner of the mailing list: "The Orb digest seems to be on the fritz. It is sending out digests every hour or two, instead of daily. Getting a digest with 2 or 3 messages isn't much better than receiving every single e-mail. Can you fix it so that it really is a daily digest again?" Hopefully someone is still minding the store.

the perversion
by Felix Atagong 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

Somebody, whose name I will not mention, writes: >Well.... >Back in 97 I gave my girlfriend 39 mins of oral sex to Blue Room. After >she admitted the music added to the experience. And Felix Atagong orgastically answers: Well, shouldn't that have been the Pink Room then? Anyway, I had some energetic (read sexy) moments starting with Perpetual Dawn (or should that be down, in this context?), through 4th Dimension, Outlands, Star and a huge ever-growing (well nothing was growing anymore at that point) to end the lovemaking business. To relax afterwards, i put in cd1 in the player... Haaah, those steamy nights of the Nineties... Reg Felix

And you fools wonder why we get so farkin confused... I am trying to imagine what would happen if New York was arranged in a similar manner with each combination of the 5 borroughs having its own name, eg: Manhattan by itself = Manhattan Brooklyn by itself = Brooklyn Staten Island by itself = Staten Island Queens by itself = Queens The bronx by itself = The Bronx Brooklyn & Manhattan = twin cities Queens & manhattan = The inner strip Bronx & Manhattan = Divided by pee (the body of water which separates them basically is a tiny stream of piss) Queens & Brooklyn = "The island" (part of the same land mass, also long island is part of this too) etc etc etc. There are 5 factorial combinations (5*4*3*2 = 120!), and thats just with 5! With UK you have less names, but for someone not immersed in the culture, you can see the root of the problem ;) _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus

Drugs and First Orb Experience and Other Ramblings
by orbster＠frickster.net 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

Hey, guys: This conversation has been really good - I've been thoroughly enjoying it. Drugs: I've spent the last two years hepped up on Ecstasy, Crystal Meth, Coke, and various other substances here and there, thanks to my exboyfriend (and not in a bad way). I've lost 50 pounds, regained 10, lost it again, and have probably gotten ten times dumber :) However, just this month I quit drugs cold turkey. While I'm still shaking a bit, I'm getting over the withdrawal. Thank god my teeth aren't falling out. Doing $1000/week in coke doesn't do a body good. First Orb Experience: 1992, with UFOrb. I read an entry in a music catalog for Echoes, a program that played world, electronic, and other music, based in Eagle, PA. They described The Orb as "the fathers of techno". How wrong they were! And how right it was that I bought that album. I remember playing it the first time and becoming completely involved in the music. I was 14 at the time. I'd been listening to Eno, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, and other electronic stuff since I was 6. Other Ramblings: I have also cried listening to the Orb. I was fucked up on E and K and Meth, a nice cocktail of sorts, and had Adventures BLASTING. I was listening to A Huge Ever Growing... and you're right; the sequence is so peaceful and evoking... and I cried a wonderful cry. I just had a rather devastating break-up with my boy of four years, and the drugs were my crutch. To all the members of the Orb, past and present, who can read this: you guys have made the music that means so much to me. My life would not be complete without your music. I LIVE for your music - it pulls me through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have dreams with your music in it; I listen to your music all the time. It has made so many problems in my life easier to cope with. I've grown up with your music, and it's a part of me. The music I write is influenced heavily by you. I admire your creativity, and your influence on me is great. To all the members on this list: I've been here for 8 or 9 years now, and never have I seen a more dynamic group of people. Thrash definitely keeps it interesting :) I have to get my Cockney -->English translator though - sometimes I can't figger out wtf you're yammering on over :D You guys are great, fun to read about, learn about, talk to, and argue with. Even though we don't agree about everything, we are a pretty darn cool group of people. Cheers to each and every one of you! -Brian

At this point I pretty much only smoke herb and drink beer. I have the occasional stiff drink but pretty rarely. Now in the past I've enjoyed many hundreds of acid trips, at least a hundred 'shroom journeys, tens of mescaline trips, ecstacy, big wads of opium, and I've tried just about everything that doesn't require a needle. One thing I've learned: I should not take anything like valium, xanax, or that ilk. I don't like them and I'm way too much of a light weight. By the way, despite my love for acid the only thing I think I've got time for these days would be mescaline and I'd take it again in a heartbeat. It's a great drug because you only get to choose your night's dosage once. If you decide to take more later it doesn't do anything at all. Also it's all over four or five hours and once it's done it is really over with. If you take about ten of them you'll visit prehistoric Earth but that's a whole other story. I can't find my UFOrb double disc and I'm very sad. People keep mentioning it and I keep remembering all the fun trips I had listening to it (especially the superduper 40 minute Blue Room mix... "WAKE UP!"). www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat. "Dissent is what rescues democracy from a slow death behind closed doors." -Lewis H. Lapham

[Orb] Re: OUTRAGE OVER PALESTINIAN SITUATION - PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL TO MR BENYAMIN BEN ELIEZER
by doh [OT] 18 Apr '03

Dear Mr Eliezer, My name is Kristian Weston from London and I feel empty, saddened, disgusted and left cold when I hear what your army is up to over there. I want to scream at the lord to tell him to stop, but I know he cant stop you all killing each other. I feel such outrage at the deaths that I cannot communicate to you what faith I have lost in the human race due to the actions of some that belong to your ‘army’. I write to demand an inquest immediately into Rachel Corrie’s death or I will physically come over there and set up my sub bass speakers next to your bedroom. The frequency of 7hz as you know is not good for the molecules. Yes you probably have researched this in your weapons of mass destruction programs, I’m sure sound can be used for death as well. Ten years ago I wrote a song called peace n the middle east with hope in my heart. Its now 2003 and the most disgusting human rights abuses are still happening in your country under the cover of the Iraq war. If you have any respect for yourself or human life, you MUST act and do something to publicise and stop the killings. If not I summon all my energy and personally curse you .. (see below) Don’t read this bit if you intend doing anything about Rachel Corrie and the ongoing Palestinian killings If you ignore this letter may the flees of a thousand camels invade your armpits and may you contract horrible sexual diseases of the like unknown to man before. May your children be born with gun shaped heads and may you be reborn as the a piece of dirty money moving from filthy defence pocket to other filthy defence pocket stained with the semen of your fellow death industry colleagues. May your blood line grow thin and die out because you are no help to this world. What the world especially requires now is some care compassion and thought and you and scum like you are what stops the world from ever getting any better. The driver of the bulldozer that killed Rachel MUST be tried for murder immediately. He MUST be brought to justice as MUST all people who encroach upon the freedom of a whole race of people. I and others like me will continue to resist your selfish cash motivated frenzy of killing over some lines on a bit of paper. I can see why they suicide bomb you mate. The Israeli army seems to me to be nothing but officially sanctioned thugs and murderers and they must be stopped. K.Weston [!-JטStäbŁîP-!] The author holds no legal responsibilty The author holds no responsbility The soldiers told them it was not Hussein for whom they were searching and told Maria two times that they would kill everyone in the house if she didn’t get everyone in the house outside in the next 2 minutes. Maria went upstairs to tell the family and ISM peace activists, who came down. By this point, it was clear that the soldiers were not finished. Camilla, Fatima, Nasser, Yasser and Angie followed Maria down the stairs. As Yasser approached, the soldiers took him to the side, checked his ID card and told everyone else to leave the house whilst holding Nasser aside. Following questions why he was being kept back, to which no explanation was given, they took Nasser, again with no explanation. Camilla asked the soldiers why they were taking him, where he would be taken and when they would return him, none of these questions were answered before they left.

You mean the ones on the cliff above Bonny Doon beach? Those were some of the best parties ever!!!! I remember one where I was hanging out with these girls who brought a giant jar of fungi laced honey, man I think they got about a hundred people off that night! The ride back home on the 1 was a little hectic as I don't think they were sober yet, but it was definitely a memorable experience.
