Token EP/ Komfort
by JASON HICKS 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Big day for me yesterday as I got both the Token EP and Komfort 12" finally. The first track off of the Token EP, "Oh Shit" is awesome, the vocal samples definitely had to be from LX, they really reminded me of the samples from Majestic "like a loud. . ." The rest of it was pretty good too, but they definitely would have been better off leaving Magic on the cutting room floor. I also think it's awesome that Malicious Damage includes stuff like the medallion and the badges with their releases. Wouldn't it be great if all labels appreciated our business that much? I was very impressed with the Komfort 12". Honestly I think moving in this direction (which sounds to me like Pole or the other scape artists like Jan Jenelik) is the way for the Orb to go. Using kitchy samples and cheesy vocals (a la parts of B&T and Cydonia) just sounds dated or plain bad in the year 2005. Sure this 12" sounds more like Fehlmann (I'm not sure how involved LX was in producing this music, I think maybe I hear his stamp on the acid lines in one of the tracks), but damn it the music sounds good. Who cares if it doesn't sound like the Orb if it sounds like something new and fresh? The bottom line is that I found it an enjoyable record to listen to and that's what really matters. I'm actually excited (rather than nervous as I was with B&T) to hear the new Kompakt full length. My two cents. Jason

Token EP
by Brian Kinney 23 Jun '05

I received mine the other day. Very nice release. Jap Cars is my fav song right now by far...sweeeet guitar riffs. Amercia is Unavailable is very groovy and warm but the sample usage is predictable. Sweet beats in Magic but I don't like the vocals, it almost sounds like a kids song. Thats just be being picky...it's a very solid release. -- Brian Kinney

MBM Memories
by David Hull 21 Jun '05

Saw MBM with opening act Consolidated back in '91 or '92 in NYC at the Limelight. Classic show unfortunately made even more memorable by the fact that my car got towed during the show. In fact, an entire BLOCK of cars were towed. I thought I was going mad until a few others from the gig showed up searching for their vehicles on the same block. Be well. Hully

Orb Mash-Up

So I have to admit, I was kinda into the Eminem mash-up that LX did several years back, but this track my friend found is just awful. I thought I would share the horror with you all, but don't say I didn't warn you: http://www.backsideoftheorb.com/ugh/ =) rachel
