is it a strict compilation, or is there lots of "play", like Fred Deakin's Triptych from last year? -----Original Message----- From: M L [mailto:bytesizenun@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 01:42 PM To: 'What were the skies like when you were young?'

Louis Armstrong remixed
by Jean Christophe DERRIEN 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

I bought the album today and I have to say IMHO it's not the best Orb remix but it's not the worst either. In fact, it's quite enjoyable, they don't try to destroy the track as they used to; they try to keep it simple. Of Course, the Infadels : Circus of the Mad (Orb remix), released recently, is far more interesting. JC And if you are not interested in remasters, reissues with bonus tracks, don't buy them ! Nobody points a gun at you. Feel free, RMStringer, to unsubscribe to the list if you think that the Orb is done since 8 years. (of course, feel free also to stay but if you get bored for so long...) The recent Orb podcast in XLR8R, for me, is the perfect example that The Orb has still something to offer.

Re: [Orb] Louis Armstrong remixed by The Orb :-)

Well for me there's always something positive to take from every Orb album. Okie is my least fav and there's probably only two tracks on there I go back to. Like most, my favourite period was for the first two albums and OT is the best album Alex has ever done. But I personally love the Dream - it's a much more consistant piece of work than Cydonia and B&T and for me is on a par with Orblivion. It's a shame that the new Louis Armstrong remix is not so good though - that could of made an awesome ambient track. Would still like to hear it to make my own mind up. Anyone on Soulseek with a copy available? -----Original Message----- From: orb-bounces(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:orb-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of orb-request(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: 01 November 2008 08:57 To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Orb Digest, Vol 69, Issue 1 Send Orb mailing list submissions to orb(a)mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to orb-request(a)mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at orb-owner(a)mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Orb digest..."

The Orb vs Freeze - MP3 Download
by Justin Gimblett 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hi Fellow Orbsters I know many of you were as interested as I was in the Orb vs Freeze CD given away on the music magazine in Greece. It looks like no one has managed to track down where and how to purchase the back issue with the original CD. However I came across a link on the weekend to download the MP3 of the full mix for free: http://dubselektor.blogspot.com/2008/09/orb-vs-freeze.html If you hit on the link underneath the track listing then it will take you to a free download site. Have been listening to it all weekend and apart from the little country song in the middle (I guess LX has to have his little jokes doesn't he!) I enjoyed the mix greatly. Enjoy! Regards Gimberz
