Questions about Germany
by ..::( Jason )::.. 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

Hello all... So I may be looking at a great opportunity of getting a good job in Germany. I currently live in California, USA. The job would be in Rellingen which I guess is near Hamburg? Please correct me if I am wrong there :) So... Seeing that I have never been there, I have some questions I was hoping that someone experienced could answer... #1. What is it like there? Some general impressions. Is it cold all the time? (or how long is it cold?) Are the people nice? Can I get away with not speaking any German? #2. What is the electronic music scene there like? I know there's some psy trance MEGA festivals like Full Moon and Voov. Good clubs? Ambient scene? #3. Is the rest of Europe fairly accessible (+affordable) via rail? Could I conceivably go to France, Amsterdam, etc. on the weekends? Forgive my lack of geographical knowledge here :-) I am not opposed to flying either and have heard that is very cheap as well. #4. How's the health care? I have heard there is a ban on all vitamins and supplements (the "Codex" bill) and that Dr's have to prescribe them now. Is that true? Is the health care pretty liberal otherwise? I am used to America where Dr's never get to the ROOT of the problem but instead throw lots of expensive pills at the symptoms. Same thing over there? #5. How's the food situation? Can I get all sorts of ethnicities (Japanese, Thai, Chinese, etc) as well good health food stores, etc.? Forgive my ignorance here! Just never been to Germany or Europe for that matter... Basically any overall general impressions and/or info for someone who doesn't know what the hell he is getting himself into would be very much appreciated.... :-) Thanks! _jason_ _________ ________ _______ _____ ____ ___ __ _ _ _

Youth: A New Chapter in Dub Vol. 2: The Secret Language of Ordinary Objects
by Andrew Krieg 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

I just picked up this CD and love it! Now I'm trying to locate Vol. 1, which passed me right by. Anyway, are there 2 versions of this CD? I have one with the catalog number BFLCD74. It has 10 tracks, with an uncredited bonus track. The tracks are: 01. The Orb - Apple Tree in My Backyard 02. Lost at Last - Reggae Raga (Youth Remix) 03. Dub Trees feat Ronnie Barrac - Celtic Sufi (Recovered Memory Syndrome Remix) 04. Youth & Pete Lazonby - Lifesong 05. Youth - The Liquid Room (Vedic Fire Mix) 06. Baraka - Luna 07. Youth - Spectral Beach (Mercury Salt In My Veins Mix) 08. Pitch Black - Electric Earth (Youth Remix) 09. The Gentle Revlolution - Stealth And Cunning 10. Dub Trees - The Golden Legend (Take Me Dancing Where The Mountains Meet The Sea Mix) 11. ??? - Don't Want to Lose Your Love [bonus track] I have seen an alternate version listed on some sites with 12 tracks, and a catalog number of BFLWCD74. The tracks on that one are: 01. The Orb - Apple Tree in My Backyard 02. Lost at Last - Reggae Raga (Youth Remix) 03. Dub Trees feat Ronnie Barrac - Celtic Sufi (Recovered Memory Syndrome Remix) 04. Youth & Pete Lazonby - Lifesong 05. Youth - Spectral Beach (Mercury Salt In My Veins Mix) 06. Youth - The Liquid Room (Vedic Fire Mix) 07. Baraka - Luna 08. Pitch Black - Electric Earth (Youth Remix) 09. The Gentle Revlolution - Stealth And Cunning 10. Dub Trees - The Golden Legend (Take Me Dancing Where The Mountains Meet The Sea Mix) 11. Youth - Prisoners Of Dub 12. Dub Trees feat Brother Culture - Don't Wanna Lose Your Love [bonus track] Is this 2nd version for real? If so, does track 11 make it worth looking for it? Also, what it the correct name of the Bonus Track? It's not listed on the CD anywhere, so I don't know where the web sites are getting their info from. Isn't the track from the Kumba Mela Experiment's "East of the River Ganges"? If so, the title I have listed is correct. Also, did the Dub Trees perform this song?

Troubleman : The First Phase
by Jean Christophe DERRIEN 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

I received today Troubleman : The First Phase (cd, Farout) a new album from Mark Pritchard it's in fact new tracks and old ones that were rare to find. Excellent, as always with Mark. (I met him last year, he's a very cool guy) The strange stuff and Orb related thing is that the track 9 called The Otherness is in fact a remix done by Mark for The Orb. it's The Orb - Once More (Mark Pritchard mix) with a new intro Another reason to buy this album. My favorite track in it is Lullaby . JCFromParis

Troubleman on Itunes
by Jean Christophe DERRIEN 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

I checked on the French Itunes (not the other ones, sorry) but the first Troubleman album is available by Itunes. The First Phase was released today AFAIK, so it should probably be available pretty soon on Itunes if you only want the Orb related track. Cheers, JCFromParis
