In the first recording I was in Cherokee park (an Olmsted park) and it wasn't nearly as intense as I expected. In that one I was parked on a hill and a bicycle zooms past. In the 2nd recording I was in an open area with isolated big trees and it was incredibly loud. My truck was on the side of the road with the microphone set on the toolbox. At some point a car drives past. It gives you a good idea of how loud it was. In a wave editor the pattern looks just like a pop song: http://www.psychicreform.com/Music/index.htm ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ "Be who you are... not what's cool." --Chef.

"Love him or hate him, nobody wants to hear me spam the list bitching about RMS and his FTP spam. Well instead, I'm just simply going to respond with a rapidshare link of the subject matter available for download by anyone of any class, creed, race or computer ability." YES!!! at least you can acknowledge that even IF RMS was a real problem that YOU and the people that bitch about him doesn't help at all....if anything it makes it worse! look - i'm not looking for a pissing match here - it just bothers me when i see people adding posts to this list for the soul purpose of complaining......complaining about someone offering music no less! you can offer up whatever you wish and i commend you for that. nothing wrong with having more than one available source for the goodies this list holds. "Now I did the same thing for Pomme Fritz, but only Ken and RMS seemed to be unhappy about it. I wonder why? The same person maybe? Hmmm. " the only thing i was unhappy about was your bitching about someone that is posting with open arms. same person??? dude...get a grip! "We did our own lil research on the KLF list and there we discovered precisely 18% of our posts were not just RMS, but RMS on the topic of his FTP." really though?? that's pretty obsessive - should rms be flattered?? 101!!! i'm stepping away from this whole issue as i need not be involved. i would just like to say that if you really have a problem with RMS that perhaps you should keep it to yourself because i don't think this stuff is beneficial to the community at all - and RMS's server IS beneficial - no matter which angle you look at it. Give the guy some credit for taking his time to help us all get the music we are looking for. If you don't wish to give him credit - then deal with it. There are plenty here that are thankful for what he has to offer and this whole "ego trip" thing i just don't get at all. it almost reaks of jealousy or something. but either way - we're all here for one reason and we all have a common bond. no need to muck it all up with shittalk. sorry to piss you off matt - but hopefully you're adult enough to understand where i'm coming from and perhaps you can real eyes that people like RMS do not deserve your disrespect. cheers peeps - orb is coming to the USA in no time let's keep focused ;)

Hi all With regards to Bryan's and Prose1812's posts, I have the Cydonia versions including the tracks bicycles and tricycles, jam on yer honey etc. My soulseek name is Gimbers (or is that Gimberz - one of the two anyway). The files are under the Cydonia Versions folder. My PC will be on most evenings this week (GMT time) and you are welcome to download what orb stuff you like from me. Whilst talking about Orb collections, I must thank those Orblist members that have kindly allowed me to download from them - RMS, Bryan, OrbscureDDJ and others. My collection would not now be what it is if it wasn't for you guys. And whilst we are on the subject, I personally have no probs with someone reminding me they have an FTP to download from and don't see why a mailing list with a common interest in the orb, should descend into personal abuse of someone who is trying to be helpful. Oh yeah and a quick question, the "bbroo grave robs the orb" tracks and the "2001 a space orbyssy - the teatime mixes", are those bootleg fan mixes or is there some special history behind them? Regards Gimberz

Excellent Smiley! Thanks for that. I was wondering about a handful of "Orbital" & "Orbital House" mixes out there. I didn't *think* this was a mix they did. Having said that, I heard a sample of the 12" and I can swear it's in a mix somewhere. Just can't remember which on right now. If anyone happens to care, here's the sample: http://www.oldskoolringtones.co.uk/22423.wma ///me >------------------------------ > >Message: 9 >Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 21:51:34 -0000 >From: "Smiley" <smileyweb(a)yahoo.co.uk> >Subject: RE: [Orb] After The Love (Orbital House Mix) >To: "'What were the skies like when you were young?'" > <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Message-ID: <006101c63cb1$26ff6eb0$0400a8c0(a)tnsad.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > >nope - the "orbital" refers to the "orbital rave scene" of the time - >parties were always held close to the M25 motorway that circles London... > >...which is known as the London Orbital Motorway, and is where Orbital got >their name from. > >although, confusingly, there are a number of orb/lx mixes from 1989/90 that >do use the term "orbital" - this was dropped as soon as Orbital the band >became well-known. > >cheers, > > > >--- >Smiley > -----Original Message----- >ML | bytesizenun > Sent: 28 February 2006 21:33 > To: Orblist > Subject: [Orb] After The Love (Orbital House Mix) > > > Hey all! > > Can anyone confirm if this is actually an early Orb mix? > > http://www.discogs.com/release/39494 > > Thanks > > ///me > >*********************************** > >

MBM
by rachel 28 Feb '06

Hey Orbsters! Speaking of MBM, I had several people ask me to get them copies, and I was unsuccessful due to cash flow... sorry about that! (They were charging $20 each, and I just didn't have enough cash on me.) They are selling the same CD of the Chicago show at every tour stop, so hopefully no one missed out. Like Tim said, its definitely a quality live recording. If nothing else, I like having the nostalgia souvineer of "remember that really amazing MBM show we went to?"... Man - I am SO fired up about the upcoming shows! I'll be hitting both SF and LA, and looking forward to catching up with as many of you as possible. =) rach

What is the point of giving these mp3 ? This album is still available on cd (I checked on Amazon). If something goes OOP, I'm fine with the mp3 and sharing stuff. Did you ever buy a CD, RMS Stringer ? JC - a little bit pissed off
