I think Dolby wanted to go the funny-Zappa-way with that album, having danceable tracks but with a 'sarcastic' text that are claiming the opposite. But you're right it not his best album (and IMO The Flat Earth is not his best too). > The mix of "Blinded Me With Science" that is on the lp I've got is very > different from the radio or MTV versions. Those kind of songs, songs that Blinded Me With Science (on cd) is the maxi 'Good Heavens Ms. Sakamoto, you are beautiful!' remix. Also submarines is a long version, if I'm correct. Felix

[Orb] Drunken vent & curse on the inventor of THC gas chromotography
by Brooks 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Seems strange in this country created by former emp farmers {Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, who once recorded tending to his female plants and mentioned a "curious" preparation of emp (5/26, 1794 letter)}, and in this state which voted to allow medical use (overuled by the Fed Government), that an individual can loose his job over a smoke. (my new job) thanks to the 30% false positive rate for EMIT and 99% gas chromotography (GC/MS) = THC can take up to 30 - 60+ days to be fully undetectible! For a week been exercising like "thrash on a scandinavian", but I don't think I have a fucking hope (three chamber gun with one bullet in it scenario). Anyone ever purchased urine over the internet or used a cleanup? Advice please? (offlist ?) What people do in there own time is up to them + I'm not in a job where a screw-up will result in injury or death to anyone. Conclusion: stick to gallons of alcohol or hard drugs they are far less detectible after a few days. thanks for listening, cheers bbroo ps. anyone downloading? with what?

"One of Our Submarines" is also amazing. I found that "Aliens Ate My Cadillac" album to be really sad. After the utter genius of Flat Earth is was such a shameless attempt at a hit album. No amount of Van Halen guitar can save a fake and he was faking it with that album. Dolby is one of the first people I've heard of that used a Fairlight (sp?) to the extent he did. That was the first version of Acid in a hardware version... How much were those things, anyway? Weren't they like $100k back when that was the value of a couple of houses? The mix of "Blinded Me With Science" that is on the lp I've got is very different from the radio or MTV versions. Those kind of songs, songs that are about one thing AND something bigger or smaller or whatever... beautiful. I passed a copy of that Neo-Auntie Aubrey off to a friend last weekend. I've forgotten again who made that but I'd like to repeat that you rock! We were rock climbing and he heard it playing in my car before we headed off to the next cliff. I don't know if he's heard it but I'm sure he'll like it. I had no idea he liked the Orb until Blue Room popped up in my car's mp3 player when we went camping the first time I went rock climbing. You just never know where you'll find a fellow Orby. Did I mention I started rock climbing? You know what that means? It means I'm better than all you sadsacks that don't rock climb. :) That's not true but I'd just like to say it's so ridiculously fun everyone who can should do it and those that can't should come watch. I want to be doing it right now. And no, it doesn't bother me very much that it feels like a gorilla has tried to twist my arms out of the shoulder socket. That's supposed to stop hurting after a while. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "I'm the commander--see, I don't need to explain--I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." -- George Bush

That's right about the video game soundtracks. I met him either 4 or 5 years ago when he was working on a game soundtrack (still have an autographed t-shirt from him for whatever the game was). John Wintemute Original message reads: Thomas fucking Dolby Robert Smorgasbrod (or something). He was one of my heroes as well. I got his first album on vinyl and later on cd, with She Blinded Me With Science as extra. Pity that the cd also messes up the tracks from the first album and even omits one track, but added 2 other tracks as well. 'Through The Airwaves' still gives me the shivers. Flat Earth is something I only have on vinyl and I even bought the Howard The Duck soundtrack as mister 'May The Cube Be With You' was heavily involved on that one. Later on I heard he was into game-soundtrack composing... Felix

while speaking of Dolby, a notable mention is Bruce Woolley and the Camera Club. Dolby was the keyboard player of the band. it contains the original "Video Killed the Radio Star". great album! get away william, rene Felix Atagong <atagong(a)tiscali.be> wrote: > I'm listening to an lp of Thomas Dolby's Flat Earth album.
