Wow, that's quite an excruciating story John! You know what they say though, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Thanks for sharing with the list, you win most "magical" Orb moment methinks!

Orb - Are You Experienced?
by John Wintemute 15 Apr '03

15 Apr '03

Back in November of 1992 if was stabbed in my neck while I was sleeping by my estranged wife who I was in the process of divorcing. I lost nearly six pints of blood in less than 20 minutes. While I was recuperating at UCLA Medical Center, I heard "Little Fluffy Clouds" on MARS FM Los Angeles. I was pretty much in and out of consciousness all that day and on heavy doses of morphine. Somehow that sound really impacted me and made me feel much more at ease. I set the name "The Orb" to memory and went out and bought "Adventures Beyond..." the very day I got out of the hospital at a cool little indy CD store on Pico across from Westside Pavilion in West Los Angeles. It quickly became my favorite CD of all time (and actually still is). I quickly introduced this album to all of my friends. We all had a lot of great "High Times" with "Adventures..." and some nice herb. Shortly thereafter I found the "Patterns & Textures" video on import NTSC VHS at the same store and the new release of "UFOrb" with bonus "Blue Room" CD single included. I was planning on dosing on acid for the first time the following weekend and saved the video and new album for just that occasion (also renting The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine"). I have to say it was an amazing evening, even life altering in my way of looking at things. I saw "The Orb" live at an old hotel in the Wilshire district of Los Angeles (I think it was late 1993). It is still one of the most memorable live performances of my life. Since then I have bought every CD, import CD singles, etc. that I could find along with some nice bootlegs when visiting London and Amsterdam 4 years ago. I have met and spoke to Alex several times after his DJ gigs. The last one at whatever club Vinyl in L.A. is now called several months back where we shared my pipe of chronic with Alex and his mates and hung out for about an hour. He is a great guy and has really influenced my life in a lot of ways. Sorry this was so long and hopefully didn't bore to death anybody who read the whole thing. John Wintemute

Thanks for everyone's encouragement. Thankfully this is way in the past though it does haunt me from time to time. I primarily brought it up because it tied into my discovery of the orb. John Wintemute The Orb - Don't leave earth without one!!!

>I love it when it lasts all night> ...sleep (I used to dream of sleep)...... >Your not gonna send me anymore freaky packages are ya?> .......wouldn't dream of it. From reading your website it sounds like the copyright cops would pay me a visit >Say its sunny over here - people out smiling.. Makes a change> .......over here we are all grinning with blood dripping off our fangs. "Cummon everybody that was fun, how about another country: Syria?....France? Germany? anywhere"..... >> sad about the simple sine wave experience ... maybe im incredibly out of it but I don't know wot yer goin on abart what is simple sine wave? > ..........thought you stormed out of the orb studio for ever, cos all Alex could produce was a sine wave? >I got my first royalty check a few months ago >From early orb stuff! ...... >he was as ripped-off as me..> .....sad story for such innovation. Anyway, it's about time for some orb DVD's - rerelease of the early stuff "Enjoying a Greatest Hits with the orb, etc, etc".Bring in doe/pony or two >well actually he did ask me but then err he didn't call.. (shrugs) I did say yeah .. but thinking abert it im gonna put out my own dj mixes on blip... few friends will do stuff n all... coming up inna bit...> .........sounds good. Probably get more publicity and less bootlegging doing it that way anyway. (Got me name on the mailing list). If he does though, you could always just play stuff that inspired you, as opposed to your own. anyway, back to sleep, uhh work...... cheers bbroo

>Must be one of those people who hasn't configured their FTP client to >work properly. Idling without disconnect/timeout is pretty bogus, >likewise with reconnect on disconnection. Can you configure your FTP >server to disconnect idle connections over a certain period of time? >Most will let you do that. You can also configure this on the server side... You can instruct your FTP server to disconnect people after say 10 minutes of idle time. Its not something you should have to resort to banning someone over. Also, idling shouldn't really take CPU cycles. If they have no activity, they are sending no O/S requests for resources, and generating no I/O. Of course this depends on whether you're using a decent FTP server program or a crappy one ;) _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
