strange place to hear an orb tune
by C orb 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

Just got back from a Canadian Football League game here in Edmonton on a rainy evening. The hometown Eskimos won, but as a treat in the first quarter the sound guy played almost half of little fluffy clouds during a break in the play. So cool! I could hear the beat and I turned to my buddy and said I think this is LFC and he was like KFC? ( no clue about the orb ) sure enough good old Rickie Lee Jones starts rambling on about the "most beautiful clouds" Pure Bliss! May not sound like much of a big deal but trust me you wouldn't hear the orb in this town outside of an afterhours club or maybe college radio. Or so I thought : ) Corbett _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

NME?
by Alan Evil 10 Jun '04

10 Jun '04

They still print that rag? I never understood that magazine, but then again, who really understands British pop music anyway? I mean, Morissey, Spice Girls, Madonna... oh, wait... Anyway, that review of B&T isn't that far off. I'm pretty forgiving (I liked Cydonia, for instance) but the two versions I've heard of B&T have been crap. Horrible record. There are all these really nice moments and at least one of them lasts for more than 15 seconds but overall it's putrid. That Perpetual Dawn thing from Rachel was funny, by the way. She's so cute you just want to snuggle up with her and smell her hair... ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Now she's all growed up and armed with a whip! Isn't the world wonderful? ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ Sometimes it feels like true happiness slipped past you in an instant.

Wierd the old days huh? From: David Barkhymer <david_b(a)inch.com> Subject: (orb) mp3 junk Date: 11 Nov 1999 12:55:09 -0500 Hey all. I need a little help. I finally got an mp3 player for my Mac and it's working great. The problem is that I only have one Orb mp3 downloaded. The only reason I wanted it was to lisaten to some out-of-print Orb tracks. Where can I download some? I've had no luck with any of the Orb ftp sites that have been discussed previously on the list. I even tried the KLF one because I'm not sure if I've ever heard "Space." Any thoughts? I'm suddenly addicted to this software. db P.S. I have aduggestion for those requiring storage space. I saw that myfamily.com allocates storage for mp3. We could build an extended Orb "family." >WHo was this guy? HE was a dick to me.

<< I just joined this mailing list and was wondering - >> yo Ms Kang. greets. << are any of you guys in the US? >> i think a little less than half are US, about half are UK, then there are a few "others" floating around, like JC from Paris. (that ain't Paris, TX he's talking about....) << "Bicycles & Tricycles" is finally getting a stateside release this summer! >> ah yes. but the important question is: will it be the same as the UK release, or will it be yet another set of mixes?

wel, as someone who has a copy of Spherical but was in no way involved in its creation, nor was i on the List at that time, i recommend it. most of the stuff works really well, and there is a definite "orbishness" to it...

Date: 05 Nov 1999 16:32:42 -0800 >just a question for everyone to answer (think hard).... no thinking necessary - perpetual dawn is by far my favourite track - its the one that really drew me into the orb with that funny laugh, pleasant dubby beat... it is the epitome of orb: bumpin, humourous, with a tinge of mischief! Ultrabass II has to be my favourite mix, and thusly the UK cd5 of perpetual dawn being my favourite release ... there's nothing like cruising around sunny california with Perpetual Dawn blasting out of the car - never ceases to make me happy!
