re OT prog

Praxis is still playing? I've got some weird Praxis stuff in my collection. I used to have a double Buckethead cd but it was pretty much early wanking that was refined to a single Praxis disc so I traded it for something, probably drugs or sex. Rob Wasserman has a new album called Space Island that is pretty good. It does devolve into mindless guitar/bass/drums wanking a la Dixie Dregs at times (when that fast, stiff swing, 6/8, white beat appears I almost fast forward) but is mostly super sweet. Has anyone heard any remarkable dub lately? ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ And if you don't dance you're no friend of mine... --"The Safety Dance"

>Has anyone heard any remarkable dub lately? I recently got the Trojan Dub box set which is average. Some good stuff mixed in with some not so good stuff. You can't go wrong with the master - King Tubby. Check out: http://www.bloodandfire.co.uk I dowloaded analog bubblebath #5 from sharingthegroove yesterday. I'm enjoying it quite a bit. -matt _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page FREE download! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/

Fluff-a-pella & B&T
by ML | bytesizenun 23 Jul '04

23 Jul '04

Hey everyone - Has anyone heard the Fluff-a-pella mix that was done for the LFC re-release? I saw it on a Townhouse acetate that was just sold on Ebay. Just wondering what it was.... Also - I've now decided that I don't mind B&T UK/US. The strange part about enjoying it is that I don't associate with the Orb. On the one hand, it's an okay album, but it has a generic element to it that disasociates it from their signatures. I don't mind the Kompakt-esque angle of it though. That seems to be its saving grace.

Proposed Auntie Aubrey Tracklisting from way back when...
by Smiley 23 Jul '04

23 Jul '04

hi folks. firstly, an admission of guilt, as it appears that i *AM* a f*ckwit. i'll deal with the other accusations later... ...but i was getting my dates and times confused, as i actually put together a proposed tracklisting for AA TWO. duh. sorry. hurty brain. my bad. i actually put this together in April 1999 - two years before AA2 appeared, and it bears little resemblance to what actually came out. i was asked to put together stuff to bring AA1 up to date - to fill in the gaps from there to when i did the tracklisting in 1999. it goes a little something like this: Disc 1: Zoe - Moonsister (Lunar Dub) 6.01 System 7 - Miracle (Orb Remix) 5.35 Front 242 - Rhythm of Time (Victor The Cleaner - Full) 7.46 F5 - Groove (Herbal Supper Mix) 5.58 BAD II - The Globe (By The Orb) 9.23 Oldfield vs The Orb - Sentinel (7" Mix) 4.04 Yellow Magic Orchestra - Tong Poo (Single Edit) 4.41 The Grid - Crystal Clear (Crystal Clear Water Revival) 7.18 Front 242 - Crapage (Never Hurry A Murray Mix) 5.30 ByteSize Nuns - Codpiece (Trouser Torpedo Mix) 7.28 Spectre - Spectre Overseas (Orbjects, Overseas & Oceans) 4.31 Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Music For... (Pandaharmonium) 5.29 TOTAL: 73.45 Disc 2: Prong - Rude Awakening (Subtle As A Velvet Doc Martin - Left) 6.51 The Cranberries - Zombie (A Camel's Hump Remix) 7.53 Rick Wright - Runaway (R Wright's Lemonade Mix) 7.05 Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug (Orb Remix) 6.17 Audioweb - Faker (All Things Bright and Bootifull Mix) 10.20 Tangerine Dream - Towards The Evening Star (Madarin Cream Mix) 8.31 MBM - Radio Babylon (Beach Blanket Bimbo Land) 13.06 Gut/Lane - Firething (The Orb Remix) 6.15 Dollshead - It's Over, It's Under (Orb Remix) 4.25 Mindless Drug Hoover - Reefer Song (Grass Garden of Child's Mix)3.04 TOTAL: 73.47 this was a VERY quick version and i had tried to get as many different tracks on as i could. of course, there are plenty of other mixes of some of the above tracks, and stuff like the Japanese-only YMO remixes and stuff (plus tons of unreleased mixes, of course!)... ...but this was what i came up with, anyway. cheers, --- Smiley ---------------------------------------- My Inbox is protected by SPAMfighter 803 spam mails have been blocked so far.

prog
by Matt SchIeffer 23 Jul '04

23 Jul '04

.... so after listening to you all talk about these prog bands I have never heard... last night I found this station.. http://livetronica.net/ It says they specialize in Radiohead, Ozric Tentacles, Hawkwind, Orb, Kraftwerk + more! Wierd selection, and I got to hear some great live Praxis with Buckethead and Bootsie and the gang. I missed Buckethead coming thru last thursday cuz I was outta town, but saw him up close a few months ago. Wierd that there would be an Orb connection, albeit small. The worm turns, the wind shifts one-eighty, and the firestorm turns back on the arsonists, who had been operating with impunity for so long that they'd forgotten the feeling of Heat. -From the book Songs of the Doomed by Hunter S. Thompson

Lesser Prog Rock

Only heard a few old tunes, but pretty cool... <snip> I have these all, on vinyl, from the time I was still collecting prog-rock thingies, the Harvest label especially and everything with a Hipgnosis cover 8-))) But as one of my cats pissed on my turntable and thus ruined it (well, it smell funny to say the least) I can't play these anymore... >Has anyone heard the Thrid Ear Band? I recall they did the soundtrack for >the 1971 version of macBeth, but I cant find their shit online. They >sound kinda ambient. Ow yeah, the first track on that is very beautiful and kind like Pink Floyd's Julia Dreams, but the rest of the record was kinda boring, but as I said, it must have been 15 to 20 years ago since I listened to it. I suppose you already checked out the Steve Hillage tunes, but don't forget Roy Harper, Kevin Ayers (fantastic that bloke) and of course Robert Wyatt who made an excellent record this year. I remember I used to buy these 'underground' compilations (from Harvest mostly) and then try to find the artists that were represented there... And if you can find the American records of a Polish guy named Niemen (virtually impossible) and the Hare Krishna bunch of Sweet Smoke (Germans I guess), you'll be in for a treat...
