Maybe they're releasing crap because they know that a lot of you will buy crap just because it has the name "Orb" associated with it and therefore they can sell this crap to you and pay their house note/studio fees/cocaine dealer/etc. I'm giving up on the revolutionary artists from the 80's and 90's. They're all pumping out utter shit that seems an insult to fans or people with taste. I kind of think marketing these "back 2 mine" type albums at full price is sort of like selling Elvis's sweat in little bottles. It's bullshit.

Orbsessions!

Yes there Is a lot of bitching about it..................I'ts a good album..........all tracks from the,wait for it......THE ARCHIVES!! It seems not a lot of people understand that? As for the person who said the LX/Thomas Fel' partnership was the best thing at the moment...well I'm speechless "Komfort" was a plastic piece of shit,don't get me wrong I love the Orb's work, I tried to find something good In Komfort but just couldn't. But then again I thought B&T Was quite good? P.S.The "After the love has gone" sample In "Mummy Don't" Is this Earth wind and fire- anybody know? Also On The KLF List they mention "Mummy Don't" Is possibly a remix of 3.A.M.Eternal?/Blue danuibe or something???????Anybody know????

RE: [Orb] The ORB - Mummie Don't, please don't anymore...

Please pardon me, I rarely contribute to the list, but avidly follow the Orb's every move. I just had to contribute on this topic. I agree with some of Don Gagen's points below. Yes, The Orb (and KLF) did invent Ambient House. Yes, Mummie Don't is basically evidence of that fact. I am not sure when that track was recorded but I imagine it was sometime before 3AM Eternal? Maybe part of the Space Sessions that Alex was removed from...who knows? Anyway, the point is, that was quite an ear opener for the disc and definitely reminiscent of that time. I was impressed just by the fact that it was unearthed from the archive and placed on Orbessions. However, I am not going to argue the fact that Orbsessions is a hodge-podge mixture of just about everything under the sun, and is farily sub-par. The disc started out on a very promising note and ended with a desperate whimper. "Sail" was by far one of the best songs on the disc that the Orb had nothing to do with. Where did that song come from and why haven't we heard it up until this point? What's the story behind it? We've all head Yungle before - outtake from Cydonia. Not really that exciting, but not horrible. Certainly not worth listening to for 11 minutes, and we've already downloaded it off the Internet. As for the rest of the disc, my only question is why? The tracks were mostly dull, uninteresting and boring. The major disappointment about the disc was that Mummie Don't was placed on it. That track set a standard for the rest of the disc which it clearly failed to live up to. Orbessions volume 2 could be interesting - but hodge podge mixtures of unreleased tracks from various eras don't work for an album, particularly for the Orb (Alex, are you on this list???) "Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld" and UF Orb were great albums because, collectively, they were brilliant pieces of work. If Alex wants to collect various tracks from a certain era of the Orb, then that might be a better way to do Orbsessions. Let's face it - "Okie Dokie" versus "Ultraworld" are recorded by different bands. Don't get me wrong, I like Okie Dokie, and I like the Paterson/Fehlmann combination - I think it's probably the best thing Paterson has recorded since Orblivion. But I had higher hopes for Orbsessions. The Thrash contributions are sorely missed, and any Orb album should be a journey in my opinion. Thoughts?

I'm not one to start flame wars, but for anyone to say the whole album is crap is an ignorant comment or just elitist snobbery. Maybe you don't fully understand that tracks like Mommy Don't, and Pluto Calling were made when House Music and sampling was still in its infancy. The first House record was released in 1986. The first use of samples in House was by Todd Terry in 86 or 87. Ambient House was basically invented by the KLF and Orb around 87 or 88. These tracks might be dated by today's standards, but at the time they the bleeding, freaking edge of the genre. It's hard for me to understand how anyone can listen to these tracks let alone the whole album and call it crap. It reminds me of when people saw the first impressionist and cubist paintings and called them crap. Orbsessions was meant to be crap - it's a compilation of old rejected songs. I like some of the tracks (Mummie Don't, Pluto Calling, Yungle or Eurofen), but most of them are crap (especially Steel Horse, Something Like, Sun Of and 73.5) and one is not Orb at all (Sail). I wonder what crap we will find on Volume Two... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERIA.PL | Kliknij po wiecej >>> http://link.interia.pl/f18c1 _______________________________________________ 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

Orbsessions Why all the Orbsessions bashing? First of all, if it was grade A material, the songs would have be released on a proper studio album...this is the scraps off the cutting room floor. What did you expect? "Archived" means old. Of course it all sounds dated. Furthermore, Volume 1 indicates that we'll probably see a couple more of these. Most of these songs sounds like they were around the orblivion stage....who knows maybe volume 2 will include more songs from the earlier 1993 era. Eitherway, I don't know the history of the thrash thing, but it sounds like all the songs on this album don't include any thrash. I like the album for what it is, and I appreciate that it was released the same time as around okie dokie, so we get some old and new stuff. Hope to hear the other volumes sooner than later!
