Black Dog
by Matt SchIeffer 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

I got off my arse and spent the 40 USD for Parallel and Temple of the Transparent Balls. I have only listened to part of the latter, but its phenomenal. Its real good music to come home from work and "relax" too. Thanks to a listee to offered to buy them from me if I didn't like em... but it looks bad for you, best of luck findin' em. I will try and help ya.. or send you em cd-r. I had Black Dog's peel and Bytes so I knew it could be cool, but I was all worried it was gonna be like Trainer, old school blip. Anybody else notice there is another Bilal besides the black dog one? wtf is a bilal? I also hadta buy a 3rd disc since its buy 3 get 10% off there so I bought this wierd orb Cd called Bicycles and Tricycles.. anybody heard of it? I never saw it there before but I'll let you all know how it is. And for the one listee that likes Harmar superstar the free show in the park was great! His dad was there and he kissed old people and it was crazy. I coulda gone to drink with him in St Paul after but ended up resting... go see him in UK!! (and in starsky and hutch on dvd in stores now now now). Anyhow, time for bed. Shoutcast is playing Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Shadow" audio book and its kind neat. Enders is sorta like Harry Potter in outer space before Harry Potter. Its a lil like Starship Troopers too. iz good. ok, corporate schill signin' out. 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

>Is anyone particular singing for Air on the tour? >Oh to live in a real city. *sigh* They do their own singin' nowadays, which I actually prefer to the female vocals on Moon Safari. Awesome live show those French boys do put on. Dunno why that last sentence came out all Yoda like, but it did.

Hi! this the list for people who listen to classic orb in an alternative state?
by b broo 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

Hi all! update from a reliable source: a) "the orb has recently been in some fantastic places in eastern europe" - wonder what musical influences Alex will add in from that? - high speed peasant folk dancing (with chickens) maybe? b) check out the Prayerbox songs on Simons tribute site to the art critic brian sewell: http://www.prayerbox.co.uk/prayerbox.html - to my mind sewell is in need of major editing, but listen carefully to the music (from the new underconstruction prayerbox album), c) plus keep an ear open for "Just Somedays" (a still being mixed version of "shine") features nick burton on drums and martin duffy on keyboards = great sounds. cheers bbroo _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/

Jeff Noon
by John Wintemute 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

Do any list members read Jeff Noon's books? "Vurt", "Pollen" & "Automated Alice" are all total classics. His books after that got really weird. I finally got "Falling Out of Cars" from e-bay. Not sure if it was ever released in the U.S. because I could never find it in-store anywhere. It was good, really back to form. If you haven't read any of his books I would recommend starting with "Vurt". Kind of "A Clockwork Orange" on acid & ecstasy with feathers & a techno beat. Highly recommended. I spent the weekend on the beach in Malibu listening to classic "Orb" and finishing "Falling Out of Cars". It couldn't have been a more beautiful weekend. John Wintemute

new term?
by Tim C 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

Man, it annoys me that this hasn't shown up in Orbsaurus - too obvious maybe. Or else isolated pockets of usage exist without widespread knowledge.... Orbage: n. (orb' ij) (Orb: Modern English (American, from Woody Allen) + age: Middle English, from Old French, from Latin -aticum) Sticky green flowery plant matter often consumed (as by smoking) by listeners of the Orb, sometimes in conjunction with other chemicals or activities.
