I haven't posted in a while, but I had to give my two cents when one of the best albums of 2004 was mentioned. "These Were The Earlies" is an awesome album. I would consider them to be Ambient Rock for sure. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Orb...all those are certainly influences of this band. A friend of mine gave me the CD to play on my radio show back in September. I ended up playing the whole damn thing in its entirety. They are a merge of American and English blokes and I believe them to be one of the most creative bands working right now. If you can, try to find the video for "Morning Wonder" by the Earlies. It's an amazingly creative video and deserves much more play than it gets. Peace...out Skidoo wishes you a good '05! > I found a very cool DJ set on their site.

Awesome!!! Thanks for the navigation tips. That site is so convoluted I never would have found the link. The studio stuff sound more like a cross between Spirtualized, Postal Service, and a little Sigur Ros. I'll definitely pick up a copy. ________________________________ From: orb-bounces+dgagen=ensemblestudios.com(a)mailman.xmission.com on behalf of OldKing Sent: Tue 1/4/2005 7:12 PM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Orb] RE: Somewhat OT - The Earlies Sorry for the broadcast, but I have been unsubscribed from this for the last few, ahem, several years...

I found a very cool DJ set on their site. In some ways it reminds me of Alex's live sets. I want to buy their album, but I want to make sure that the studio stuff is as good. I tried all the obvious places looking for song samples like Amazon, the bands site, etc... Anyone know where I can listen to the tracks before I buy? Full MP3's aren't necessary. BTW here's the link to the live set. http://www.theearlies.com/esb/esb9.mp3 "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." Despair INC.

Orb DVD tree
by b broo 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

hi bi11i - sounds like a good idea, so I'm up for burning a couple of sets. My suggestion is that you decide on the cost for 7xDVD's, postage and packaging. Post this to the List with your e-mail address (using "at" instead of " @ "), and have interested individuals contact you directly. Then create a tree so that each person only copies 2 sets. Individuals should then contact those next on the tree, sending them this same amount. It seemed to work with the last tree. (Plus public humiliation to anyone that screws up). Give me your Paypal details and I'll send my money over and get this thing rolling if you like? cheers, bbrooo at hotmail P.S. I recently got Mind's Eye Presents Luminous Vision DVD - has tangerine dreams music (including orb's evening star) and some good visuals. Odyssey - The Mind's Eye do some great morphing visuals on their DVD's, and the soundtracks often mix in well with the Orb. Great if your putting on a show for some wasted friends.

With all this chat about the live shows, I went to an out-of-date ftp site that I obviously hadn't accessed in quite awhile. It's dead. Could someone kindly forward (off list) the latest ftp addy? Cheers and a Jolly '05, april81972
