So I've finally found out where the German orb gig is, didn't know about this festival until now: http://www.sonnemondsterne.de/index.php I will definitely be attending at the end of my railtrip, any other European listees going? If anybody who's been to the past SMS parties could shed some light on the quality of the organizing or other tips I would definately appreciate it. MikeD

New Music Help

OK, so I got into soulseek finally, and grabbed a bunch of listee's recommendations, namely that of orbgirl's. (THANKS!) This included Fires of Ork, a lil' Dub Trees, YMO and I also stumbled onto some BIll Laswell's Charged. For any of our listees I can highly recommend the newer Clouddead, Wevie Stonder's "Eat Your Own Ears" for goofy dub, M83 M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts if you haven't already gotten these. (Whats with bands and songs/albums named Dead Cities?) I do need a lil more help though. I always forget, what FSOL albums SHOULDN'T i get? I have a Brit friend whomoved to Wisconsin 3-4 years ago when like Chicane and Hybrid were her favorites. Yesterday I found out she's "Up the Stick" as you all say, and want to get some good mixes to cheer her up, since its no booze or cigarettes til X-mas. Any small recommendations would be cool (she misses London, dunno why ;). Oh, I always wanted to ask this: My Orb Peel Sessions disc, with the little starfish and such on the cover, had two booklets inside of it when I got it. Did anybody else experience this or any other odd packaging flubs? I kinda felt like Charlie and the golden ticket was gonna fall out. Spin magazine loves the orb. I swear, evertime I have to take a flight or a BM and need some mindless rag, I open spin and theres some orb reference. Not only did they name Ultraworld #82 of the top 90 albums of the 90's but last month they slipped UF.OFF in as a possible follow up to those who like Aphex's Ambient Works 85-92. Here is a quote from Perry Ferrel last year: I discovered the Orb when I went to Europe for a Janes tour. I loved groups like Cabaret Voltaire and Can, but the Orb made a huge leap. It was a completely different method of making music--the way they went about looping and sampling things. It was really special.

Well I for one appreciate the list members like yourself that take pride in knowing about all the obscure Orb items, getting the straight info is worth a thousand e-mails of mindless drivel that usually occupies the majority of this list. . . jason _________________________________________________________________ Looking to buy a house?

US version of B&T
by claus 01 Jun '04

Hi All. The quick question. I have seen that a US promo for B&T is available - only containing 11 tracks. Now for the 1 million dollar question. Does anyone know if these tracks is different from the UK and JP version? Or are they the same? Cheers Claus

Thanks Chris, I assume the cover is the standard badorb pyramid? At least someone on this list is still down to dork out about the Orb. : / _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with the new version of MSN Messenger!
