Wlihe lstinenig to the orb I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid aoccdrnig to a rscheerch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn"t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh ??? yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorant !!! Thanks RMS for the heads up on the Peel Tribute session - a fine nostalgic send off. Certain he would have appreciated the Liverpool fans cheer as part of his epitaph. Anyone know if the track at 36:50 is a new Alex/Steve track? Or maybe the new track is the 27:40 one with the girl saying "this is interesting, you're going to like this.....oh shit......." = Alex in his new teeny-bopper mode. Strange synchronicity that the orb should use the heart problem samples in their first session with Peel. It's either proof of residual memory (deja-vu) from their last lifetimes around or it's because music is the only way that the all knowing beings from the other dimension can contact us. Perhaps a bit of both? Does anyone else find strange coincidences with actual events, in the samples they put together? Ok, it's probably just a coincidence, but what if it isn't? - good plot for a couple of movies (send royalties to bbro.....) P.S. None orb (bit bored at work today): "Y'all can have freedom, just like us" - http://www.aclu.org/pizza/images/screen.swf Err.....interesting - http://www.nobodyhere.com/justme/

Clockwork Orange (Orb mix)
by Man Whore 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

All I know of this song is that it is playing when Alex returns to his paren'ts house only to find "Joe" his replacement sitting next to his parents. A very funny scene, actually. I had read that LX was gonna remix this song, and was very excited. What ever happened? Why don't you ask the ol' codger Gavin! Oh, and one trippy fact is that I read the lyrics are slightly varied in the movie vs the soundtrack. Lately, I've been cranking the March from Clockwork Orange, ever since I heard the clip where Kraftwerk used it live I've been obsessed with finding it, and I did. Did you know that the March is the first recorded song ever to feature the use of a vocoder _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

All I know of this song is that it is playing when Alex returns to his paren'ts house only to find "Joe" his replacement sitting next to his parents. A very funny scene, actually. I had read that LX was gonna remix this song, and was very excited. What ever happened? Why don't you ask the ol' codger Gavin, tell him to get off his arse and finish it. I'm excited! Oh, and one trippy fact is that I read the lyrics are slightly varied in the movie vs the soundtrack, like to f**k with your head I guess. Lately, I've been cranking the March from Clockwork Orange, ever since I heard the clip where Kraftwerk used it live I've been obsessed with finding it, and I did.

>i think its a case of its you that aint got a scooby mate... I was watchin an advert for a video game, and they say "fancy a butchers?" I must say, I feel bad for true cockney's who gotta deal with the mainstream blowing cold compressed air up their skirts. How you feeling Thrash? You still mad bout' dem demos I lifted off your laptop? Honest it was an accident, what the hell do I know what is valuable and whats not. I think you can agree I is not all there all the time. oh well, happy new years, got to go buy some crisps and soda for watching the inaugaral fiasco tomorrow. Thought of you when that guy was holed up in his van in front of the white house yesterday, funny stuff. _______________________________________________ give back you slags: http://mentor.org _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?

Orb Samples
by bla blazo 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

Hello all, I recently got "African Anthem" by Mickey Dread and goddamn if there isn't a shitload of material that the good doctor lifted for samples. >From the track: "Saturday Night Style" - "Now brothers and sisters goodnight. I hope you're feeling alright. We'll here's Michael Campbell at the controls to make things bright, to make you feel alright." And then in a female voice - "Oh, my josh. The music just turns me on." "Headline News" - "Featuring strickly rockers." "Rockers, duh rockers." I don't remember which orb song samples this but the rockers, duh rockers is in a track somewhere...might not be "duh." "Mickey Dread in Action" - "You make me feel so good." You know that sample from Assassin...and right after that is the sneeze and "Dread a control." "Comic Strip" - "Is that a turntable? Well, get on it. It's your turn." And then in a female voice, "Michael, you make me feel so good." "Brand new, good for you." "Operator's Choice" - "What, you're a disc jockey?" Laughter. "What's that?" "Mickey Dread come fi conquer, conquer, conquer..." This song also has the bell toll and scream that LX uses at the start of Towers of Dub. The track "Industrial Spy" also has the Meat Beat Manifesto sample from Psyche-Out - "Rythum a full a culture, ya'll." Some other samples that I know of come from Lee Perry's Blackboard Jungle Dub - "Regarding the meek and the humle, welcome to blackboard jungle. So don't you fumble, just be humble." I think the Slug Dub keyboard is sampled from the Miles Davis album "Get Up with It." The song is Calypso Frelimo. I can't be certain because I don't have that album - I've only heard live versions of the song and I don't want to shell out the $$$ at Tower Records to get the Japanese import of that one. Some of these samples might not look familiar just reading them, but if you heard them you'd know immediately that they were orb samples. Anyone else have some sample origins? -matt
