Here's the official media review from Sunday morning's Orb gig. You know I had to be sick to miss this one. (Damn) Special to the The Times "Pop" Music Review by Steve Baltin DISNEY HALL PULLS AN ALL-NIGHTER WITH THE ORB The Godfathers of the ambient electronic-music scene for nearly two decades might seem an unlikely headliner for an L.A. Philharmonic sponsored night at Walt Disney Concert Hall. But any show that runs from midnight to 6 a.m. Sunday and finds Patina serving breakfast at 4:30 a.m. is no ordinary night at Disney Hall. The venue kicked off it's two-week Minimalist Jukebox series with a six-hour electronic-music event headlined by the Orb, the brainchild of Alex Paterson. Disney Hall's first all-night event featured sound and colorful psychedelic art projections into every room. Fans walked freely throughout the space to experience a multimedia show that also included sets by Dntel; Boom Bip, whose 45-minute display of fleshed-out ambience and cross-genre mix of jazz, rock and dance delivered on the promise that group architect Bryan Hollon has shown on record; and John Tejada, a crowd-pleaser for his blend of techno and industrial sounds. During much of the early portion of the morning, the capacity crowd milled about in the halls, gathering in common areas to share in the projections and soundscapes. When the Orb took the stage behind a setup of two turntables and a laptop right at 3 a.m., fans spanning teens to folks in their 50's, with a heavy concentration in their 20's, filled nearly all of the general admission seats. Much of the event's appeal was the novelty of seeing a hall normally associated with classical music turned into an early- morning dance club and art gallery. Still, the Orb's enduring place in the electronic would can't be underestimated, particularly with Paterson sharing the stage during the show with frequent collaborator Thomas Fehlmann. They emerged to a serene lullaby-esque track punctuated by bells that quickly segued into a heavy backbeat. Within a few moments, the entire front section of the audience was on its feet, dancing to an enticing techno hook that flowed into a disco-y beat. Those wanting the more experimental side of the Orb were also satiated with long ambient interludes that featured a melange of sound play ranging from cymbals to spoken word and warm synthesizer grooves befitting the sunrise that awaited those who stuck it out to the end.

merry car tour - san fran
by Stephen Kraft 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Hey, Just wanted to check on what lucky San Fran attendee will provide the rest of us with an extensive review of the show tomorrow! Given Gavin's earlier post on the Chicago stop I assume he will not be joining the orb on this merry car tour; and, therefore, will not provide his detailed show/travel log a la 2001. So looking for someone else to give us the lowdown on...well everything! Also - anyone planning on going to the Brooklyn/Manhattan stops? I am in the process of making arrangements and would love to hear what others will be doing. Also would love some tips on where to go in NYC between shows (been almost 10 years since I have been there and will have 48 hours to kill!) Steve --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Tracked LX Groovetech shows
by kalimazoop＠comcast.net 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

I know a lot of the groovetech shows have been circulated in the real audio formats, and maybe even full length mp3. but has anyone seen, heard of, or have tracked versions of these dj sets? Is there interest in circulating tracked versions? i tracked and EQ'd a handful of them last year. I really like the advantages as I can skip over the things i dont really care for among other things, but it does take some time to go through (silly perfectionist). other ideas are to create some personal compilations of unreleased versions of Orb tracks that LX played during certain sets, as well as other mixing, sampling, collaborations, etc. travis

Sounds like SF show was good! Anybody go to Austin? Wish I'd known about that show sooner, Austin is a cool town. I'm getting ready to drive down to Houston. Never been, hope I don't get lost. Are there any tapers on the list? I'd love to get my hands on some of the shows i'll have to miss. ivy you never know when you're making a memory--rickie lee jones --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Bring photos to life!
