Hrm, trying to remember when the first time I heard the orb was... It was probably around 1995 or 1996. I went to see them live for the Orblivion tour in Boston and New York, so it was probably some time in 96. I remember the first time I heard the orb tho... It was that little fluffy clouds song on the radio in 94 (which was my sophmore year of high school). You're probably amazed that it was on the radio at all in the US at that time, but I listened to independant stations so it was probably on some college show. I remember liking the tune and not thinking much about it again for a while... Then I got to college in 1996 and that fall I was smoking some cheeba in a buddy's room with about 25 other heads and he throws on U.F.Orb. This was a SERIOUS stoner college student room so the ambience was all there. I remember thinking to myself "I am going to cdnow as soon as my brain turns back on." The first cd of theirs I picked up was the ultraworld... Throughout college I collected tons of the material on CD, and after college on vinyl also. I've now seen the orb play live 3 times (which isn't too shabby for a US resident) and seen LX spin at the knitting factory like a dozen times. I've met a few listees, and I've gotten a few autographs (my copy 2xCD copy of U.F.Orb and my Aubrey Mixes cd heheeh). I handed LX an enormous phatty at the beginning of the new york BadOrb tour and to shade the exchange from security he passed me a BOB3 vinyl in trade ;) I remember watching him and simon smoking the thing on stage and having trouble lighting it, probably because I didnt put any tobacco in there. I also remember watching them freak out after smoking it eheheheh. At any rate, I feel like I have collected as much of the orb stuff that I'd like to, unless the new efforts prove to be a marked improvement. Of course I am glad the orb has changed, but I somehow miss the old-school sound. I will still probably buy almost anything they put out (despite my previous statement :P), and I plan to actually try and chill with mr paterson the next time he's in town... I have to admit also that the orb provided me with a doorway into styles and artists I had never heard, and for that reason I will always be in the debt of messers paterson, youth, THRASH!, wobble, hunter, fehlmann, et al... Thats all :) _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus

Has to be the first gig i went to - after hearing live 93 - in 1993 - i never dreamed id ever see the orb live - not sure why! I always saw the orb as a 'mistical invisible force of genius' ...twas the cydonia tour first gig in brighton - i went insane - hahahah - had a major Major rush all the way through - i wasnt even on drugs - till the end when i met strange man that gave me a brown n pink speakled pill - atually that was the best pill id ever had n all - well, besides blue penguin's just to hear thoughs orb samples youve got etched in your mind - played at high volume with other Orb fans is so overwelming - just incredible i went to 4 of the English gigs that tour - soded work - hired a car and slept on the motorway ..........service stations! another great thing about the live gigs is that each one is very differnt - alex and witchman -( jon rome i think) gave a diffrent mix each night - TOP notch !!!! that warm up dj on the cydonia tour played sum amazing records (meat beat manifesto?) chap witha cap n glasses! id give my nob to get hold of thoughs tracks! Hurry up Orb n play sum more gigs!!!!

Zippies last post - 17th April 2003: "Dah, ddhaa, dahhhh" - (last post bugle sound) >>>Ah Bad Orb the name says it all! The company that ripped off a 14 year old and then tried to blame their demise on him! What a bumnch off ****s. ROB DEACON is the man you and I want. He runs deviant records i'll get his address and post it for you. Shoddy music and a shoddy company. Just so as you know the band in its live form the only person connected to bad orb was LX NOT Zippy or John they just made some shit for BadOrb out of a favour to LX and have indeed been ripped of by more than Â£56. Zippy is owed a 4 figured sum by badorb which he sort of knew he would never get. By the way who ever liked Fusionic WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU stock midi sounds doing a very boring progression, get a fucking life Simon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Damn, cover blown.... P.S. Really enjoying all the Magic Orb Moments. Your efforts will be rewarded! - thrash, sad about the simple sine wave experience though. You guys still speak? - how about doing a Thursday Teatime Groovetech show with him and "make up/punch each others light out" on screen, or at least compete musically for all your adoring fans enjoyment. cheers bbroo

A Magic Orb Moment
by Bbbrooo＠aol.com 12 Apr '03

.....Promise I'll get off this stuff after this, but did you hear our leader today "This War is for Peace. World Peace". His script writers have to be reading "1984"? Actually, his opponents in the last election were equally as bad. Why is it that the only people we have to vote for are Politicians? Anyway...enough....it's Friday night, spirits are high.....so back to Unreality: A MAGIC ORB MOMENT: To become a long-term member of this list, my belief is that you must have had at least one profound "Orb experience", or distinctive memory. Something that affected you or that you really enjoyed. How about sharing your experiences, be specific with orb track and help spread some Peace (with fluffy clouds) into the World. Last year we heard from a young lady camper (in Canadian mountains) who watched shooting stars (all night) the first time she heard UForb, another guy whose first live orb experience took him as high as a kite with strangers, and some other great stories (I can't quite remember!). I bet even Thrash (with his distain for the past) has a good Orb yarn to spin. How about that mixing mistake that created an epic track, or what your Mum said when she found out you were a real rock star, or maybe your first groupie? cheers bill (bbroo)
