Hello, my girlfriend Veronica and I are contemplating going to this incredibly cool sounding festival, and are wondering how many are intending to go? Micah? I'd love to hook up and get a local perspective of the local and how to get to and from the site safely and stresslessly as possible. Gavin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

YES!!! Its officially time for me to bust in. I am contributing the following objects and comments to this discussion: 1) 1 plastic swimming tub 2) 50 pounds of cooked lukewarm polenta 3) One chesty lady to hold up cards indication which round we're in 4) A shiny belt for the victor. 5) a 4 ounce jar of SHUT THE FUCK UP! :) Ok you two, please throw yourselves bodily into the tub of warm polenta. I have a midget to film the whole thing, and a really well hung donkey to throw into the mix just for fun. Whoever can whup the ass of the other wins the belt. Go to it!! Data is data people. If you want to keep it for yourselves, dont offer it to ANYONE and keep it in your DCS-encrypted offline HD volume. If you want to be faithful to the band, dont have anything except your tower records purchased legitimate copies of things which you purchased yourself at the time of release. BUT if you give a copy to someone else, dont expect that it will somehow miraculously stay there. Entropy increases. 6 degrees of separation and the like. Once its out its out. All you need is one copy other than yours, one additional copy from there and already you've reached kazaa, soulseek, my mom's collosal ass, george w bush's rectum, halliburton's new CEO, and possibly michael jackson or prince. I now distribite the 4 ounce jar of shut the fuck up. ------------------------------------------- 'Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.

by Nick King 27 Apr '03

Thought I'd forward this onto the Orb list. l8rs, Nick ;-) -----Original Message----- From: System 7 [mailto:s777@a-wave.com] Sent: 17 April 2003 21:07 To: System 7 News Subject: System 7 news April 17th 2003 Hi, You are on a mailing list of people who have contacted System 7 through our website:- http://www.a-wave.com/system7/ We have 4 upcoming live shows newly confirmed for 2003 :- Saturday Apr 26th - Stratford Rex, East London (UK) - The Solar Stage Creation Party - a major trance event. http://www.photongenerator.co.uk/pages/webEvent.htm Friday June 27th - Prague (Czech Republic) - Openairfield Techno Festival Sunday June 29th - Glastonbury Festival - Avalon Stage 10.30pm (closing festival with a bang!) Friday July 11th - Arvika Festival - Sweden Hopefully we'll see some of you there! Just a further reminder:- A-Wave Records are re-releasing the rest of the System 7 catalogue CDs. These CDs are:- AAWCD001 - 777 album AAWCD002 - Point 3 Fire Album AAWCD003 - Point 3 Water Album AAWCD006 - Golden Section All the new CDs have been remastered (and they sound great!) This will mean that from this Spring the full System 7 catalogue will be available worldwide on A-Wave Records and our International licensees. The official UK release date is now Monday May 26th. Currently Steve still has a very full schedule of record production work, including the new album of Rachid Taha, and several other major projects. However it is most important that we start work before too long on the next System 7 album of new material (AAWCD009). We have already started work on some new tunes, but it is likely that full work on the new album will start in September 2003. We hope also to find the time for further live shows later in the year. Online sales of A-Wave / System 7 releases:- Our records are selling well on Groovetech's online dance music sales website. To check A-Wave releases at Groovetech go here:- http://www.groovetech.com/label/5146 (Please click on UK/Europe if a clickable map appears). Onwards and Upwards Steve & Miquette (System 7)

Alien Invasion!
by Bbbrooo＠aol.com 26 Apr '03

26 Apr '03

Just my friday nights 2 cents worth: Once you get to know us we aren't all bad - so to take the pressure off America right now, our Government needs to invent an "Outerspace Alien Invasion". UFO's everywhere, increased crop circle activity, strange signs, get everyone a bit scared, etc. Hollywood could help and I bet the military have some secret technology that would impress even the sceptics. - have you noticed how an Alien Invasion always brings the people of the world together? P.S. If they are trying to sell it to me it better have an orb soundtrack

RE: [Orb] What you listening to? is it any good?
by JASON HICKS 26 Apr '03

The new Donna Summer CD (the electronic act, not the disco queen) "This Needs to Be Your Style" is frickin brilliant, kinda like Kid 606 but not as abrasive. The Matmos side project Soft Pink Truth is really good too, nice and funky electro inspired kind of stuff. I'll also third the big ups to the Hexastatic mix CD, tight mixes of classics. The new Rob Swift mix CD "Under the Influence" ain't too shabby either if you're looking to get schooled on old school funk in a cut up turntablist kind of stylie. On the opposite tip the new Adult album was a big disappointment for me. Some people think the new Mono (the Japanese group not the Portishead rip off) is absolute genius but I think I still like their first one better, not to say the new one is bad or anything. . .

RE: [Orb] What you listening to? is it any good?
by Rob_King 25 Apr '03

OK, here's what I've been listening to - I wouldn't entirely consider them to be "new", but they are somewhat current. 1. Mr Scruff - Trouser Jazz (the DVD 'single' is nice - has 3 videos, old and new, and one unreleased track). The CD itself is pretty good with some fine dancing tracks, although not quite as good as Keep it Unreal. 2. Recloose - Cardiology - definitely one of the better, practically unheard of, albums of 2002. Get out, buy it now, now, now! You can dance, but also listen to this one. 3. Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense on DVD. Fantastic live performance in 1984 by one of the more unique bands of their time, and directed by Jonathan Demme (same dude who did Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, etc.). Lyrics are nice and cryptic, and the music is original and catchy. The special features are not bad either - I got a kick out of how detailed the storyboarding was. 4. Pub - Single - not bad for hypnotic ambient type stuff. I need to relisten to this a few times though. This is a good listening album. 5. Funki Porcini - Fast Alseep - Another fantastic CD from 2002! I've actually listened to this while drifting off to sleep, so I've yet to finish the complete album. Another "must buy"! 6. Biosphere - Subtrata (OK, maybe not a new one, but new-to-me). I wonder why people call this 'classic ambient', as it doesn't really seem to be... However, it is a powerful album - invokes lots of images of the Netherlands, midnight sun, permafrost, etc. I happened to buy this CD around the same time I saw the original Norwegian "Insomnia" movie, so I associate both strongly with each other. 7. The Only Bip Hop Record You Will Ever Need, Volume 1 - This is a V/A compilation from the Luaka Bop label, of contemporary electronic music... You'll recognize Mouse on Mars and one of Autechre's offshoots on it, but the other artists I've pretty much never heard of. I like this compilation a lot, and I have to mention the whole pseudo-textbook linter notes are very funny. That's it. Out of all of them, the most mind-blowing ones for me would be Talking Heads and Funki Porcini.
