Who knew you were such a chatty bunch? Let's just hope that if they re-master UFOrb they do better than the last one. Dynamics are IMPORTANT dammit.

OT: Asia travel advice (for Feb/March)
by ..::( Jason )::.. 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Hey folks, So it looks like I will be in Asia in the Feb/March timeframe. Planning on spending some time in Thailand, but will have a couple weeks left to explore other regions. Thinking maybe just another country to check out would be nice, but not sure what to do there. Vietnam? Laos? India? Originally had thought I would check out Indonesia, but it looks like they will be in their rainy season at that point. Any travel advice for a newbie here? I'm mainly down with temples, rainforests/nature/hiking etc, and nice beaches... But open to anything that is interesting and worth checking out. Oh and I already went to Cambodia and Angkor Wat a couple years ago (it was freaking amazing!!) Currently thinking maybe Vietnam might be the best option... But don't know much about it. I will be by myself if this matters at all. I really like the idea of checking out India, but it is very overwhelming. Where to go? And what about Goa? Is it still cool? From what I read, I doubt it. Basically looking for some advice from some experienced peeps!! :) Anything would be appreciated! :) Also, if anyone in Thailand wants to hang out while I'm over there, feel free to drop me a line :) _jason_ _________ ________ _______ _____ ____ ___ __ _ _ _

> Rock music, yes. Worst sort, no. They were a cut above the rest in their > day. It's a matter of opinion, of course, but I disagree. They began as a bad Zep knockoff and then things got worse. I was around in 'their day', seen them more than once (before they were headliners) and never liked 'em. Technically proficient as all get out (credit where it's due), but (to me) boring and more pretentious/up-its-own-arse than most of its ilk.

>Are there any Canucks on this list? I live in Edmonton, Alberta (That's right, we're in Oil Country!) and have been lurking, seldom posting since '99. There are another couple of folks from E-town that were on here before, Corbett are you still out there? and another fellow that I briefly discussed carpooling to Coachella with a few years ago. I met up with a fellow listee in Vancouver way back to go see LX dj, and it turned out that an LX impersonator was on the loose, so I didn't even get a show after all that travel! Another female orb fan used to reside in Van as well. This list has changed a good bit over the years, but by far the days of the random TrashAttacks were the most exciting. More orb related, What's up with the MADORB project!!? when do we see the orb's return to true dub soundscapes!

Small-ish indeed! I did my undergrad in London and today live about 30 mins. from Elkhart (I'm in South Bend)! Related topic to UFOrb: Hey, where did Thrash go anyhow? He pummeled this list for quite a while and drove me to unsub for a bit, but the list has been Thrash-free for some time now. Anyone have any recent info?

Small world-ish, I suppose. I first heard the Orb in 1990 when someone introduced me to LFC. I missed the bulk of the party and caught up in 1998 when LFC popped up in a VW ad on TV. Since then I have been catching up through Napster, eBay, and this list. I would be game for outtakes, remasters, or whatever may come out of a UFOrb retrospective. It would be beautiful. Meantime I have the old murky CDs. Take care, Dave.

d(-_-)b ALLOFMP3 SUED BY U.S. RECORD LABELS
by Bill Pilkington 19 Jan '07

ALLOFMP3 SUED BY U.S. RECORD LABELS Just before our final emailer of 2006, we read that AllofMP3.com had been sued by the major record labels in New York. But the site is based in Russia. It is unclear how any U.S. court ruling can have an effect on this Russian site. The record labels claim that AllofMP3 has been profiting by selling copies of music without their permission. AllofMP3 typically charges under US$1 for an entire album and just a few cents per track. By contrast, an album at Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes Music Store and other licensed services typically costs about US$10 and a song 99 cents. Also, AllofMP3 does not have DRM on their tracks and they can be recopied for use on other players and computers. AllofMP3 has maintained that by paying royalties to a Russian licensing group, the Web site is in compliance with Russian laws. The RIAA has refused to accept payment from the Russian licensing group ROMS. It is interesting to note the flipside in China, where major labels have pressed CDs to be sold ONLY in China at extremely low prices. Some of these have been smuggled out of China and are sold cheap relative to US/UK CD prices. They are properly packaged and have good sound. You can find some in major record stores in $ingapore selling at around S$10 a disc = US$6.60. You can read AllofMP3s statement on their legality here: http://www.museekster.com/allofmp3faq.htm#Will%20the%20RIAA%20or%20the%20IF… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I sent my soul into the invisible, Some letter of that after life to spell. And by and by my soul returned to me And answered, I myself am heaven and hell. - Omar Khayyam (Rubaiyat) Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com

Hiya Dave -- I'm Canadian, but have been living in the USA since '95. My family is in southwestern Ontario; I'm in Indiana now. I first joined the Orb list as a student in Montreal, '93-'95. I mostly lurk on the list these days, but still listen to the good Doctor's work. A remaster of UFOrb would be beautiful, wouldn't it? I have never heard of outtakes from those sessions, but would love to hear what the Dr. and Thrash came up with that didn't make it. - pascal ----- Original Message ---- From: Dave and Ros <daverosbooth(a)rogers.com> To: What were the skies like when you were young? <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 11:08:47 PM Subject: [Orb] Question from Canada  Hi All, I had been reading the Orb archives on xmission.com for a while and decided it was time to join the conversation. Two questions and a comment: Has anyone heard of a possible re-master of UFOrb release—seeing as 2007 marks 15 years for the album? (It would be a nice follow-up to Ultraworld in 2005…) Are there any Canucks on this list? (Canuck = Canadian in British/American speak) Thanks to Kjartan Behm for Grey Clouds. Absolutely hilarious! -Dave. _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com

Haven't heard about a UF-Orb reissue - apart from the fact that Thrash was against it! :-) However, there is a new Orb album out in the Spring featuring Youth and a guy from Dreadzone, and there's also Orbsessions Volume 2 out later on in the year. Hopefully, we'll find out more when the proposed new www.theorb.com is launched! :-) > > From: "Dave and Ros" <daverosbooth(a)rogers.com> > Date: 2007/01/18 Thu AM 04:08:47 GMT > To: "'What were the skies like when you were young?'" > <orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> > Subject: [Orb] Question from Canada > > Hi All, > > > > I had been reading the Orb archives on xmission.com for a while and decided > it was time to join the conversation.
