Jeff Noon

Do any list members read Jeff Noon's books? "Vurt", "Pollen" & "Automated Alice" are all total classics. His books after that got really weird. I finally got "Falling Out of Cars" from e-bay. Not sure if it was ever released in the U.S. because I could never find it in-store anywhere. It was good, really back to form. If you haven't read any of his books I would recommend starting with "Vurt". Kind of "A Clockwork Orange" on acid & ecstasy with feathers & a techno beat. Highly recommended. I spent the weekend on the beach in Malibu listening to classic "Orb" and finishing "Falling Out of Cars". It couldn't have been a more beautiful weekend. John Wintemute

new term?
by Tim C 20 Jul '04

Man, it annoys me that this hasn't shown up in Orbsaurus - too obvious maybe. Or else isolated pockets of usage exist without widespread knowledge.... Orbage: n. (orb' ij) (Orb: Modern English (American, from Woody Allen) + age: Middle English, from Old French, from Latin -aticum) Sticky green flowery plant matter often consumed (as by smoking) by listeners of the Orb, sometimes in conjunction with other chemicals or activities.

Since no one replied last time, I'll ask again: So does anyone know what the source of the tracks on this set (promo or bootleg aside) are? Is there a 54 minute studio version AHEGPBTRFTCOTU? Or are these all live tracks? If so, do the playing times match up with known live recordings?

Purchased a copy,exactly the same as the U.K.version,apart from no L.U.C.A! As regards to the orb site,I spoke to "The main man"about a few things a while ago. He said "The Komplott e.p."wasn't gonna see the light of day till probably this "Kompakt" Do. Also they were having problems with the site big time.I asked about t-shirts,he gave me the link-said it was up but not linked up. So my guess Is.. They are In there re-vamping the fucker? and linking-up' The orb shop'................But hey I could be wrong. ===== Nicht die welt! ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Just learned that >Stereolab will also be performing. >John Wintemute I hate you. Because you can type. Actually just because you told me that was happening. I saw Stereolab a very long time ago and they were SO great. Is anyone particular singing for Air on the tour? Oh to live in a real city. *sigh* BTW, There are some rough mixes of new songs from the upcoming album by the unnamed collaboration between me and Highdropod (www.highdropod.com) up on my site www.psychicreform.com/Music. Be forewarned I'm singing on all four. Critiques are welcome and you may feel free to flame me on the list for telling you about it or because you listened and vomitted. Whatever. : ) The lyrics and vocals of "No Happy Ending" were originally recorded for Prayerbox so that makes this post my second almost on topic post EVER!!! ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ 25% of the world's prison population is in US prisons. We've got less than 5% of the world's population. Is that nuts or what? Just think about it. Think about how small the percentage is for all those other countries. It's insane. Too many prisons. Not enough love.
