anyone in the UK should check out page 10 of the Motoring section of The Daily Telegraph today, as you'll see article on the list's very own Mr Phillip Blake and his X-Type Jag... ...complete with a picture of him in his "It's Grim Up North" shirt. of course, he should really be driving an Audi Quattro Turbo, but i'll let that one go. ;-) i'll scan it if anyone's interested... cheers, --- Smiley

- to all job applicants. Little earlier for hiring, but your appreciation for good music puts you each at the top of the list in your field. I'm still looking for additional technical assistance, so please keep me in mind if you know anyone. ta.. Orb stuff: Had a chance to listen to "4orbidden mission". Sold at a very high price on e-bay a while back. I cannot believe that it didn't come from Alex's hand. It has continuations of some of his soundbites that I havn't heard before. It's all old stuff redone, but personally it's more enjoyable than much of the new. cheers, bill p.s. One of the performers from the amsterdam coffeshop shows had recently worked with alex. He told alex that cockerels were now "out" and ducks were "in".... haha..... So expect to hear more ducks in the new orb stuff. p.p.s. I feel i must give plug to a couple of the coffeshop warm up acts: A) Nikky French of: http://www.argumentaboutyellow.com/ - an up & coming new band from brighton & B) Ralph: dj rev moon http://www.mymusicstuff.nl/ check out: Demos.....spring break mix 2004.mp3 - more than just a dutch dj = all his own work

Orb Brighton Concorde Last Night
by Mark Weston 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Well.........A bit dissapointed really................ Thomas played first a DJ set a good set but seemed to be full of the Kompakt type stuff LX then joined him and they played together as the Orb.......Its a shame now that the Orb live is just Thomas and LX DJ'ing together and mixing a few bits here and there........What has happened to Simon Phillips on bass .....a live set shoud be more live......im not slagging off here just dissapointed....ive seen The Orb play live loads of times.their shows used to kick ass big style........perhaps next time........ after The Orb finished LX did a DJ set.........that was good usual LX style with the odd suprise.........Long Train Running......must admit LX can still hold a crowd on the decks that was the high point..... It was still a good night out the Concorde is a superb place with parking right outside.... Until next time..... Regards Mark W.
