I can't find the link to a track listing for the Music for Listeners 5 hour thing. Totally enjoyable and good enough quality for my earphones.

i hear ya jeff. and like i said it's not like i listen to NO new music.... i surely listen to plenty. i'm just saying i'll never push aside these timeless gems just to fill some need to stay current or whatever. and no doubt you'll never find new music or know what's out there if you don't get a taste. personally i let a lot of that "come to me" through good peeps like yourselves. if a particular act gets enough talk on a list like this - that usually prompts me to investigate. i must admit though....it usually takes a GOOD amount of support to get me interested. i wanna hear rave reviews across the board - otherwise...i just haven't the time =()

Well for me personally pretty much all of the music of FSOL is timeless which kinda makes some of the past postings moot in my book. The Isness??? oi....that's imo one of the best albums of all time! I'm surely trapped in the 90s....and the 80s, 70s, 60s too! I listen to plenty of new music but didn't mention it here as i was thinking that more orb-like music is what was being discussed. New electronica, i follow all of the simon posford stuff as well as benji and ott on that label. System 7 just put a new album out that's superb. As for non-electronica.... Medeski Martin and Wood is putting out 3 albums in the next year....i really can't say enough about them if you can stand a degree of jazz in your music. Anyhoo going back to FSOL there's a lot brewing over there! Tons of older stuff is being released and there's also new work on the horizon! As someone mentioned there's peppermint tree and the lost environments 1+2 releases and my understanding is that a full new FSOL album is in the works! Funny though....now that it's been said, i realize i surely listen to more older music than anything. The last "new album" i purchased was a live Zappa gig released by the family trust lol!! But think about it....how often does a gem really come out? If you are listening to *tons* of new music right now i would guess you are listening to a lot of rubbish (personally speaking - no offense here!) in that mix. I'm selective and in my heart all of the music i own is timeless. So trashing that music aside for the sake of feeling the need to hear new acts doesn't really do it for me. I don't feel "trapped" in any decade. I feel like it's 2008 and we have a good 42 years worth of music to sift through to find what connects with each of us deep inside. We should be so lucky! ;)

all valid, but what I was referring to was the album "The Isness", which was released 5 and a half years ago. -----Original Message----- From: theREALmxyzptlk [mailto:theREALmxyzptlk@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 10:31 AM To: 'What were the skies like when you were young?' Subject: Re: [Orb] Orb Digest, Vol 62, Issue 3 > more like 5 and a half yearsThat depends on where you stand. Where I stand, it's 10.It always amazes me how much this and the KLF list are trapped in the 90s.The only relatively "new" (and even using 'new' in a relative sense is a stretch) things that get mentioned here are SERIOUS retreads.Jack Dangers has an interesting live video-performance thing going, but c'mon. He's a one trick pony if there ever was one.While I do understand that some people prefer the stylistic mix that was happening 10-20 years ago, it amazes me that these lists seem to exist with little to no exchange and notice of the oodles of music which would *logically* appeal to fans of bands which used to be 'forward-looking.'I love The Orb. I love KLF.But God help the person who turns to this list for anything relatively new and remotely innovative musically.He or she is most likely to be bombarded with Rush suggestions (gag, ack,?!)And THAT is a travesty indeed - at least here.Don't take this as a bitch session - I'm subbed like everyone else, and I can easily bow out anytime I choose.I'm just amazed at how much this feels like a class reunion, where people can only talk about the past and are so busy building the myth of the 'good old days' that their ears are plugged when it comes to what's out there.Five years ago I would have followed this with a long list of things to investigate. These days, I don't have time. And it seems like nobody here is interested in much other than what they already know or something that sounds exactly like what they've been listening to for the past 10 years.It's ironic, really - in that it is quite unlike the "spirit" of either The Orb or The KLF, who both pushed boundaries and went for something new. jeff_______________________________________________Orb mailing listOrb@mailman.xmission.comhttp://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orbReport list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com
