Re: [Orb] U.F. ORB

Hi everyone, As no-one seem to have answered the question I'll try to give you the transcript as I'm Russian. "Govorit Moskva /Radio Moscow, April 1961/ Yuriya Alekseyevicha Gagarina, Sputnika Vostok. Ponyal!" This is a written transcript, the spoken one would sound something like "Gavarit Maskva /Radio Moscow, April 1961/ Yuriya Alekseyevicha Gagarina, Sputnika Vastok. Ponyal!" Actually, most of the above words do not belong to a cosmonaut. They are probably parts of a radio broadcast spoken by an announcer (broadcaster? - I'm not sure of the proper word). This is obviously a broadcast about the first manned flight into space. The translation is as follows: "Govorit Moskva" - "Moscow speaking" These words opened state radio broadcasts in the USSR days, especially on significant events. "Radio Moscow, April 1961" - this is obviously from the USSR international radio broadcast on the same event as the first manned flight was on April 12th, 1961. "Yuriya Alekseyevicha Gagarina" - this is the full name of the first cosmonaut, though not in the initial form which is Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin "Sputnika Vostok" - "Vostok Sputnik (or Vostok Satellite)" - this is not in the initial form as well. Vostok was the name of the spaceship with Gagarin on board. "Ponyal!" - "Understood!" (or something like that). This is the only word that seems to be pronounced by a cosmonaut as it sounds like a part of a dialogue with ground control. A ten note melody that follows the Russian line is the theme melody of one of the USSR major state radio stations, and it comes from a semi-anthemic Soviet song called "Soviet Land So Dear To Every Toiler". Hope this helps. If anyone needs a transcript of the Russian line in Spanish Castles In Space, let me know.

Mickey Dread's - African Anthem Dubwise (1979) has the Ahhhhhhhh! at the end of track 9. Amongst other things LX also sampled from this album: "Oh my gosh the music just turns me on", "You make me feel so good" "Is that a timetable well get on it" and "what, your a disc jocky. What's that?" - hope this helps cheers bill P.S. we have some talented people on list. Some nice sounds/mixes - thanks for sharing. np: "my head feels like a frisby" - shpongle........"horny and holy at the same time"....ha... The people have lost the confidence of the government; the government has decided to dissolve the people, and to appoint another one - brecht

Hi guys, Back on the list. Just a quick question. The 'favourite things' sample LX played on various shows during the '97 tour, who is the performer off that song?

hi folks i don't post much, but i thought i'd mention this as i think many of you might dig it more than the average music fan... i'm in a band called colorforms & we've got much new material... just posted a 50 minute live track for free download on our site http://www.colorforms.net. we are a trio & play drone-based somewhat minimal mostly improvised psychedelia, more or less. intended for immersive listening. hope you like it. jack It is my belief that nearly any invented quotation, played with confidence, stands a good chance to deceive. -- Mark Twain http://www.Care2.com Free e-mail. 100MB storage.

new xenlab mix
by egyptian zombie robot 09 Jun '05

dark and brooding like an ex-raver fed up with the undanceability of most modern IDM music, this compu-hyper-global-mega-net mix is at once both a big fuck-you to the IDM nay-sayers calling for it's death (which may be more than a little bit true), as it is a dirty triumph of dance music as a whole. the mix digs deep into the vault and pulls out all of the tracks that made me take a double-take while on my iPod's rotation. who knew those tracks i had been earmarking for my next dj set would fit together so well? all of these songs have one thing in common, a pounding desire to make you shake your ass, as well as cause your brain to jump-up and say hell-yeah! with all of the power contained in the dopey rhythms of IDM's back side, with a little adult swim playfulness thrown in for good measure. download it: http://www.xnlb.com/mixes/ventureopenchickenout.php track listing: 01 - venture brothers - open 02 - autechre - rpeg 03 - the orb - asylum (blood sugar's mix) 04 - kid606 - whereweleftoff (droolstring ukelelea remix by twerk) 05 - autechre - sublimit 06 - cb4 vs kid606 - straight outta lo cash 07 - aqua teen hunger force - theme (remix 2) 08 - mc pee pants - i want candy 09 - hexstatic - distorted minds (zero db vox) 10 - jason forrest - inkhuk 11 - mother's finest - dis go dis way, dis go dat way 12 - aphex twin - come to daddy (little lord faulteroy mix) 13 - venture brothers - close 14 - robot chicken - out thanks for taking the time to check it out. -- - xenlab - http://www.ezrpm.com/ - http://www.xnlb.com/
