I couldn't care less as to what the majority of their fans are like. It's the music that matters, not the scene, and I'm certainly not going to let some jackass ruin it for me. I'm sure there are plenty of morons out there that like the Orb too, like the music supervisor for Dateline NBC for instance. . . >From: "Alan" <alanevil(a)bellsouth.net> >Reply-To: What were the skies like when you were >young?<orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >To: <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: [Orb] OT Dead/Phish Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2003 22:26:47 -0500 > >The Phish crowd is not like the Dead crowd in my experience.

>If you check Lazlos's discography this boot is known for being a really low >quality crowd recording. I've passed it up several times based on that. Come to think of it, has anyone heard any decent quality live recordings of the orb? At one time I had something like a dozen boots in MP3 format and they all sounded like shite due to excessive crowd noise, bad recording media, etc. If anyone has any particular dates/events which sound decent, please share em! Hows THAT for on-topic discussion? :-D _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

perhaps try listening to some of the SPACE during live dead shows. you may appreciate it (if you like ozric). the dead were creating loud live ambient music over thirty years ago. just a suggestion _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

ORB videos/eyecandy?

Ok, I'm not really sure what I'm trying to say here, but why has generally everything I've seen of the Orb in relation to videos/concerts sucked balls? I don't mean their performances....their music is top notch and i wish they had videos and junk that reflects that. I haven't seen alot of stuff, so if anyone can recommend things that are visually pleasing, pleae inform me. What I've Seen: Early Live show (UFOrb?); sounded like Hillage was playing with them and there was lots of cheesy footage of dolphins in space.....thought I was watching public access television. Asylum Video: Live Action/animation piece....I remeber tanks and airplanes and I know LXP & Andy Hughes were in it, but the video wasn't half as tripped out as the song asylum is. Once More Video: Was LXP the bellhop in this one? Nuff Said. Someone like Chris Cunningham needs to work on an orb project....Just about every video he makes is fucking amazing, and i think both Cunningham and the Orb have very "Kubrickian" tastes at times. Also, is there video of the orb on Top of the Pops playing chess? I would love to see that. Yer pal, Gel-Sol www.gel-sol.com
