<< A MAGIC ORB MOMENT: >> okay, fair enough. in 1993 i had a crappy job in a modem factory in Alpharetta, north of Atlanta. it wasn't really too strenuous - i pulled parts from inventory for people to put together. i had lots of time for playing with the computer, and i had complete access to Usenet. i have been a diehard Cocteau Twins fan since about 87. searching for related music led me to "ambient", which i had never heard of living in The South. and that led me to The Orb. i read a ton of posts about their "new album" _U.F.Orb_, and i eventually tracked down a copy. it took me a while to get that CD, but i finally found it in the "dance" section of the Towere Records here. i remember i got it one chilly rainy day in March, 1994. the rain turned to snow as i sat in my apartment and listened. serious snow in fact. which is wierd enough in Georgia, but even wierder in mid-March. so, there you go: i remember sitting in the dark smoking a cigarette and listening to "Towers of Dub" as the snow came down..... been hooked ever since......

Sometime last year, I gave a person on this list access to my B mater in exchange for a DVD he was supposed to burn me. IF that person were still on the list, would he please make contact with me?

Hrm, trying to remember when the first time I heard the orb was... It was probably around 1995 or 1996. I went to see them live for the Orblivion tour in Boston and New York, so it was probably some time in 96. I remember the first time I heard the orb tho... It was that little fluffy clouds song on the radio in 94 (which was my sophmore year of high school). You're probably amazed that it was on the radio at all in the US at that time, but I listened to independant stations so it was probably on some college show. I remember liking the tune and not thinking much about it again for a while... Then I got to college in 1996 and that fall I was smoking some cheeba in a buddy's room with about 25 other heads and he throws on U.F.Orb. This was a SERIOUS stoner college student room so the ambience was all there. I remember thinking to myself "I am going to cdnow as soon as my brain turns back on." The first cd of theirs I picked up was the ultraworld... Throughout college I collected tons of the material on CD, and after college on vinyl also. I've now seen the orb play live 3 times (which isn't too shabby for a US resident) and seen LX spin at the knitting factory like a dozen times. I've met a few listees, and I've gotten a few autographs (my copy 2xCD copy of U.F.Orb and my Aubrey Mixes cd heheeh). I handed LX an enormous phatty at the beginning of the new york BadOrb tour and to shade the exchange from security he passed me a BOB3 vinyl in trade ;) I remember watching him and simon smoking the thing on stage and having trouble lighting it, probably because I didnt put any tobacco in there. I also remember watching them freak out after smoking it eheheheh. At any rate, I feel like I have collected as much of the orb stuff that I'd like to, unless the new efforts prove to be a marked improvement. Of course I am glad the orb has changed, but I somehow miss the old-school sound. I will still probably buy almost anything they put out (despite my previous statement :P), and I plan to actually try and chill with mr paterson the next time he's in town... I have to admit also that the orb provided me with a doorway into styles and artists I had never heard, and for that reason I will always be in the debt of messers paterson, youth, THRASH!, wobble, hunter, fehlmann, et al... Thats all :) _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus

Has to be the first gig i went to - after hearing live 93 - in 1993 - i never dreamed id ever see the orb live - not sure why! I always saw the orb as a 'mistical invisible force of genius' ...twas the cydonia tour first gig in brighton - i went insane - hahahah - had a major Major rush all the way through - i wasnt even on drugs - till the end when i met strange man that gave me a brown n pink speakled pill - atually that was the best pill id ever had n all - well, besides blue penguin's just to hear thoughs orb samples youve got etched in your mind - played at high volume with other Orb fans is so overwelming - just incredible i went to 4 of the English gigs that tour - soded work - hired a car and slept on the motorway ..........service stations! another great thing about the live gigs is that each one is very differnt - alex and witchman -( jon rome i think) gave a diffrent mix each night - TOP notch !!!! that warm up dj on the cydonia tour played sum amazing records (meat beat manifesto?) chap witha cap n glasses! id give my nob to get hold of thoughs tracks! Hurry up Orb n play sum more gigs!!!!

Zippies last post - 17th April 2003: "Dah, ddhaa, dahhhh" - (last post bugle sound) >>>Ah Bad Orb the name says it all! The company that ripped off a 14 year old and then tried to blame their demise on him! What a bumnch off ****s. ROB DEACON is the man you and I want. He runs deviant records i'll get his address and post it for you. Shoddy music and a shoddy company. Just so as you know the band in its live form the only person connected to bad orb was LX NOT Zippy or John they just made some shit for BadOrb out of a favour to LX and have indeed been ripped of by more than Â£56. Zippy is owed a 4 figured sum by badorb which he sort of knew he would never get. By the way who ever liked Fusionic WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU stock midi sounds doing a very boring progression, get a fucking life Simon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Damn, cover blown.... P.S. Really enjoying all the Magic Orb Moments. Your efforts will be rewarded! - thrash, sad about the simple sine wave experience though. You guys still speak? - how about doing a Thursday Teatime Groovetech show with him and "make up/punch each others light out" on screen, or at least compete musically for all your adoring fans enjoyment. cheers bbroo
