BT is derivative shit! Shit, I tell you! Total complete shit! BT is to good electronica as Pat Boone is to good soul music. Please don't mention BT again or I'll have to kill your lame ass! ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ 25% of the world's prison population is in US prisons.

Well as a band with a band-feeling The Orb has been quite dead for a few years now. The last albums Cydonia (all of them) and B&T (also all of them) sound more as a greatest (s)hit collection than as a real group effort. Especially with B&T one can divide the Fehlmann from the LX sound. IMO the Kompakt Orb releases are just Fehlmann cashing in on the groups name because he's not selling shit under his own name (although I find his solo releases quite good). Maybe Fehlmann should issue these releases under Der Orb instead! On the other hand it annoys me as well that 'new' LX releases are appearing as The Orb on every f*cking album that is remotely LX related, only because the cleaning lady of the brother of the producer has shagged LX fifteen years ago. Maybe they should split the band, like Gong did decades ago: Der Orb, LX's Orb, Youth's Orb, TrashOrb... In fifteen years time they can hold a big Orbfest like Gong did a few years ago, assembling all the Gong-clones on a single festival (even System7 was there). Felix (who still hopes the Orb are not over, yet, please...) PS: what about the Belgian gig then at Leffingeleure festival on 18 September???

BT - Divinity (The Orb Remix)
by RoS 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

Can anyone here clear once and for all what is the deal with this remix? According to rumours back in 1995 (or 1996), Perfecto planned to release "Divinity" as a single and commisioned The Orb/LTJ Bukem to do remixes. Later they abandoned the whole release, so none of it has ever seen the light of day. The funny thing is nobody has ever heard these remixes to my knowledge. I think it was confirmed later that LTJ Bukem remix was just a rumour and Bukem had never touched it, but the situation is a bit more complicated with The Orb remix. If my memory serves me right, someone once asked Alex about this remix and he told that the remix had never existed. Now you'd think that that would settle everything once and for all, but when I asked BT about it, he confirmed that the remix did indeed exist and it's shit (according to BT). Now I don't know who to believe. Nobody has ever heard this remix and LX confirmed that it didn't exist (although I don't have first hand information about it), but on the other hand these rumours have been circulating for like 7 years and accoriding to BT the remix was made. Anyone here have any information about it? Cheers, Roman

black dog

Ok. last question. I have all the plaid studio albums plus booc, bytes, black dog and plaid peel sessions (at least 1 of each). I have the Dial P, OS mix, midsummer mix, and a two part TS mix or something... what else is left? I went to the Electric Fetus after work yesterday just to visit the two Black Dog discs "Temple of Transparent Balls" (dunno why that sounds perverted) $16.99 USD and "Parallel" 19.99 USD !! I just couldnt spend that on em.. I suppose they are reissues? And whats this Repeater? thats sounds intruiging. I've asked this question before, but any help quelling the fiending I get for Ed and Andy would help. (oh, some1 said they mix the DJ Kicks 'Nicollet' too, if its worth it). thanks, matty P.s. I am going to a festival this weekend that features "Cracker" its gonna be a hoot to hear em play 'Euro Trash Girl" 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.

Fuck clickncreate. http://theorb.clickncreate.net/ppb/displayproducts.pasp?ProductTypeID=2 Nope. Nothing works. HTTP 500 Internal Server error. Plain and simple, if it doesn't work in Internet Explorer somebody in web designing needs to be fired. It's like creating a site that can only be visited by Mac users. Sure, it might not have viruses but you've excluded 9/10 of computer owning humanity. Maybe even more than that. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ 25% of the world's prison population is in US prisons.
