action records confusion

For some reason it's listed in the "indie" side of their store and not the dance side. Go to the indie side and type Madonna into the search engine, you should find it. It took me a little while to discover this, but I was finally able to order it as well. Release it on vinyl Thrash and I'll buy one of those too!

Re: [Orb] What do people who like The Orb purchase online?

hey Billy, I liked that website "DISCLAIMER" >>If you live in the UK, we will be able to sell you some very expensive fishing bait or budgie food, but you must under no circumstances grow them. Remember just because it is all right for Jack Straw's son to get caught dealing or for the 3rd in line to the British throne to get wasted on cannabis, it is not all right for you to do this. We cannot emphasise this point strongly enough! However, if you store them for a later date (they keep for years in the right conditions), and plant them after the UK government finally sees sense and legalises cannabis, you should be able to grow some mighty fine bud! All products on this site are completely legal in the UK; please check your national laws before purchasing our products. We do not seek to encourage anybody to break the law.]">> Oh sorry, should be talking about the orb: interesting (but not brilliant) mix of Green Ginger near beginning of Jan 16th groovetech. cheers

Re: [Orb] B&T/Woz Goin on?
by JASON HICKS 07 Jul '03

>But call me out of line are the rest of you >who are slagging it just falling in line? No, I think people are slagging it, because it's a rather generic sub-par album that only has moments of greatness. Listen to U.F.Orb or Orbus Terrarum, they are genius all the way through. B&T (not counting From a Distance) is not a bad album per se, there just isn't much going on in a lot of the tracks. Many of the sounds sound like presets that haven't been altered in any way. Personally I was initially drawn to The Orb because the music contained so many sounds I had never heard before, so hearing a bunch of stock samples that anyone with a certain synth or sampler has access to is a big disappointment. Add to that the linearity of the tracks when The Orb has always been known for sonic complexity, it becomes hard not to evaluate The Orb as being over the hill creatively. Just because a community reaches a consensus doesn't mean we are blind sheep, in fact I think it indicates that we share a sensibility which is one of the hallmarks of a true community. I'm still listening though, so prove me wrong LX and knock our socks off with the next one! Jason _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

OT netcast

I'm trying to record my live set so I've got my ambient album to sell at the Denver AL2k3 show. First complete run-through was tonight (with only one major fuck up the whole go). On my Shoutcast station it will be running repeatedly through tomorrow morning. http://www.ifpr.homestead.com/ifprradio.html It's 61:31 seconds. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years. We went downhill, and if people don't realize it, they don't have their fucking eyes on ... In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available to an average citizen in America right now... God almighty, what have we done to each other?" --Merle Haggard (June, 2002)

stuff 'n' things... We're a happy family meet mom and daddy!

Thanks for whining (or was that whinging?) about your record sales, Thrash. I overdrafted my checking account and caught it in time thanks to ordering the cd! You'd better not send me a cracked cover or I'll be pissed off (for $23+ at least it's cheaper than the Jap B&T!). Welcome back, JC. Your rare record spotting abilities have been notably absent. In case no one has explained yet Thrash is moving to the South of France (the hoity toity bastard) to enjoy the cheap wine and cheap girls. Which town are you going to destroy, Kris? Marseille? Cannes? Nice? San Tropez? God I hate you you damned Limey. French women are the hottest in the world in my opinion and I DON'T FUCKING HAVE ONE! This week I am recording my "ambient" album to sell at the show in Denver. Anyone want to order one in advance? I'm thinking $10 + shipping. Something I was thinking, Thrash, is that you should've put 112kbps or 96kbps copies of the songs up for free download. That way there is just a hint of that annoying high end break-up to encourage people to get the full fidelity copy. It hasn't worked for me but it's worth a shot. ; ). Devo is still touring for real?!?! Those guys are fucking great. And Roxy Music as well?!?! I'm flabergasted and again upset to be living in this shithole town. You need a flatmate in Southern France Thrash? Je parle la langue. How 'bout you JC? J'aime Paris! Oo la la. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years.

programmer chat
by Alan 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

It's not bad enough that this list is always going on about war and politics and bulldozers and buttsex you've gotta go start making programmer chat?!? I've got your open source right here, matey! I can't believe I got ripped off buying cds direct from a listee. Jesus. Y'know, that was a pretty nice lunch I paid extra to the Justablip site. Goddammit. You'd better sign my fucking copy, Kris. That's all I gotta say. Plus I can't find any site for Red Planet that isn't just software. I need a hardware synchronizer. I don't see any cool bumpers or anything. I think I need to go to bed. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years. We went downhill, and if people don't realize it, they don't have their fucking eyes on ...
