Re: Terrarvm show/state of raving

Hey, Thought about chiming in on the topic of live gigs from an earlier post but this is probably as good as place as any to discuss... I have never had the pleasure of seeing the Orb live, but have spent a good bit of time collecting Orb gigs over the past year (Soulseek, RMStringer's ftp, etc.) - I think Orb live gigs are some of the best music out there. That is a necessary caveat, as I probably do not have much business commenting on this without have a true live experience. With that said... The gigs from 92/93 (93 in particularly) are the best they have to offer. They have amazing flow - they just seem to glide along in an almost effortless fashion. Plus I find it interesting to see how the shows from that time seem to change up, holding a lot of the same basic elements, but with different sequences and the addition of subtle nuances make each one very different. Leeds 92 to Tokyo Yellow 93 to Trekroner 93 to Brixton Academy 93 (11/28) to even the Quart Fest in 94 are all amazing. I had not heard anything from the Terrarvm tour until very recently (Portland 95) - and must say that it is also very impressive. The percussion (from what I understand the percussion is part of the live performance but I was not there so what do I know) is very cool. I put this just a hair behind the 92/93 era. Plus it was a joy to hear more material from that album in a live setting. Everything after that has always been a bit harder for me to embrace. I think you put it aptly, the Orblivion gigs sound very abrasive/choppy, almost like a war scene (not that I would know what that is like, never been in a war.) The ups and downs, along with the sequencing and sample make for an almost chaotic setting. That said, I still enjoy them very much - just believe they are a step down from the earlier gigs. I don't find the Cydonia era material much different than the Orblivion. Yes things flow a bit better but they are still somewhat choppy and noisy to me. Sorry I cannot offer more insight into the rave scene (now or then) - the US rave scene never really had much appeal for me.

Just bought this domain and will be setting up a 24/hr streaming site of Orb music in the next week or so.. Thanks to bi11i for some great material to put on the site. if you have any live stuff, let me know and we can trade via ftp.. so far i think i have around 400+ hours of rare and live orb stuff, but I need to get it all on the HDD to make sure. Also, i'm planning on making the page very simple with some a little flash and html, if any of you are advanced web developers and want to contribute, then please drop me a mail: smith.trey(a)gmail.com Take care, trey

I don't hold much hope of success in this but thought I'd ask. Do any of you have a talkative pet bird? Or have a friend or relative with a noisey pet bird? If so, could you record it for three or four minutes talking away in an empty room? It would be particularly nice if the bird was actually talking. It would be even nicer if the language were other than English. But a cockateel or lovebirds chirping and singing in a room would be great. The main thing be that it just be the bird and no human voice talking to it and it be in a room. The vision in my head is of a tall room with plaster walls and ceiling and a tile floor and minimalistic furniture. The bird is in a cage near a sunny window. Any help with this would be much appreciated. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ Washington Post: Why do you think Osama Bin Laden has not been caught?

1) I noticed at http://www.concorde2.co.uk/c2.html (enter "17th March" or keyword "blast") that Alex, Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy are all "DJ'ing". Anyone know, do Steve and Miquette DJ or will they be plucking 'n singing along? 2) Has anyone tried absinthe (the real Czech 'WORMWOOD' stuff)? Is it worth aquiring a bottle while in Europe or does it make you as depressing as Strindberg? 3) Finally a girl that says just the right things at the right time: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/lips.php - randomly hit multiple keys (with your left hand) for maximum benefit

The effect was somewhere between a strong cocktail and nitrous oxide. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ Washington Post: Why do you think Osama Bin Laden has not been caught?

"You really didn't think the Orbus Terrarum tour with live drums and bass was phenomenal? Wow, I feel sorry for you." I did, and it still didn't ring my bell, bit of a noise as i recall. But there's definitely no need to feel sorry for me, I saw some fantastic gigs prior to that. Nothing quite bettered the Glastonbury '92 gig, and those who thought Orbital were the classic Glastonbury band must have been elsewhere in '92.

Actually, I've been on this list since before 2000, but remain in lurk mode a great deal. As for me I've seen the Orb put on well in excess of 10 shows starting in June 1990 and most recently on the Cydonia tour, and can safely say the last one i thought was phenomenal was at Glastonbury 1993. The best were the ones at Brixton Academy in the very early nineties, where Thrash was not only present, but also probably largely in charge. I just think that while Kris can be extremely antagonistic, the fact that he comes here ought to tell you something - perhaps he can be engaged. I cannot imagine another list where a crucial member of the band from their most creative period would remain a persistentlyuntapped resource. No, I'm not a thrash groupie, and I don't want to antagonise this board, but I just find it all a bit odd.
