Thanks all for the various updates of the tour. It was a great show Toronto last night at the Opera House. Unlike , I think, pretty much all of you-it was my first Orb live show was this tour. Can't say how it compares to the good old days, but it was an amazing set. I think Toronto provided a good welcome. The crowd was great. LX took a picture of somebody in the front wearing a cat outfit. Someone else had an alien gorilla-bunny thing going. (Star Trek?) There were changes from earlier set lists. Once More or Plateau were not included. Here is what was: 1. Spanish Castles in Space 2. Outlands 3. Blue Room 4. Toxygene 5. Slug Dub 6. Towers of Dub 7. Alles 1st Shoen 8. UFOrb 9. Backside of the Moon 10. Huge Evergrowing Pulsating Brain (Orbital Dance) 11. Star 6, 7, 8, 9 12. Perpetual Dawn 13. Assassin 14. LFC 15. encore-didn't know it 16. waved goodbye to "I'm going to Marry a Lighthouse Keeper" Someone was there with a big camera filming the whole thing. Maybe there will be a 25th Anniversary dvd coming later.? Meantime, here is a hobbled-together collection of my camera clips from the Toronto Oct 25 show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVfE_CO0O7A

25th Anniversary Tour - New York
by Jerry Quartley 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Anyone know what the line-up for the New York show is, or what the line-ups at any of the other shows was/will be? Doors open at 6:30, so I'm guessing there's some other stuff going on before. It's at Webster Hall, and won't be quite the same as the gig at The Marquee all those years ago.

by Anthony Bryan 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

t(h)rash's kickstarter for his new album is up & it will not (physically) be available anywhere else, only through KS - so you've got 59 days to order it & after that it will prolly be harder to track down: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krisweston/enter-the-fuzzy-dimension?re… Kris Weston, the main creative force behind the early sounds of The Orb, is crowdfunding a new album which will only be released to backers. Featuring 20 some collaborators and artwork by The Designers Republic. The music is free to be used in short movies and independent games, and free to share with friends (non commercial creative commons style license). Music creators may be interested to back it with the option for all the song files, DSP patches, and custom effects and samples. Kris says, "Generally my sound has a sort of soundtracky quality to it I suppose. Its very melodic and if I had to choose my main influences for it they would probably be John Fahey, Miles Davis, Simon Jeffes, Meshuggah and Nucleus." for those that missed the interview on Resonance FM, you can listen/download on soundcloud. highly interesting/entertaining & has some clips of his new music along with his influences. "Luscombe speaks with former Orb member Kris Weston about live mixing, delay units and his new Kickstarter project. [Repeated Friday 2am.]" https://soundcloud.com/resonance-fm/luscombes-choice-25th -- (( Anthony Bryan ... Metalink [ http://www.metalinker.org ] )) Easier, More Reliable, Self Healing Downloads
