"...Deacon (runs Deviant) lives at the old badorb address which is Edith Grove SW10. I'm sure you all can work out the street number by old correspondence..." I hereby divorce myself from the Badorb class action suit (or whatever it's called in Britain) against Deviant. Those of you truly aggrieved have at it. I would really love it if you guys would listen to the songs at http://ifpr.iuma.com and give me some feedback. There are 8 up new since the new year. You know my e-mail addy... www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat.

That "CUSTERD" promo single really does exist...
by Smiley 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

...so, firstly, sorry to nick king - who was the one that convinced me that this actually existed (as i was very sceptical). sorry mate! anyway, i tracked one down today, and now have in my hands this little beauty: Custerd - "Boom Bang Bombay" (one-sided 12" vinyl; Boom Boom Productions; CUSTERD 001) labels are 'custard' yellow (obviously), and have no info on them at all... ...however, it came with a press sheet, stating the following (exactly as written, so any mistakes aren't mine!). ***** Tracklisting: A. 'Boom Bang Bombay (We're Gonna Rock The Boat)' Only 75 copies mailed!! Boom Boom Productions hereby declare that the first release under seemingly posh exterior will be by the group sometimes known as Custerd. A triangular gathering featuring The Orb's huge and ever pulsating front man, Alex Paterson, Jamms & KLF Minister of Rock Jimmy Cauty & drunken Pink Floyd collaborator and musical expert Guy Pratt. 'Boom Bang Bombay' is a floor-spanking, mash-up of frontline funk and Bollywood shenanigans - a record for record's sake by the keenest collection of custerd tarts you're ever likely to meet. Taken from the unfinished album 'Ear Cake 5000', 'Boom Bang Bombay' is available in strictly limited helpings. Reactions essential & ASAP please!! ***** ...and, it's actually surprisingly good. on first play, i wasn't sure until it got 3-4 minutes in, but on second / third plays it's a real grower. i might even get around to doing an mp3 sample of it at some point in the near future, but don't hold yer breath as i'm amazingly busy at the moment. l8rs. --- Smiley

I wouldn't normally do this on the list but this might interest you guys. I just finished mixing down a remix for an artist I'm working with. I would call this mix sort of 'orbish'. It's track 08 in the mp3 player on my site. The track is called 'Old Moon' and will be released on CD and "10 vinyl as a b-side later this year. I just posted it so if you guys can be my first audience, your feedback [and praise :)] would be greatly appreciated. http://www.floor115.com ------------------------------------ m a r t Â l e p p i k Â - Â floor115 ------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________ Try AOL and get 1045 hours FREE for 45 days! http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/index.adp?375380 Get AOL Instant Messenger 5.1 for FREE!

>> Windows doesn't like single files much over 2GB >> Chris I use Wavelab to capture the stream &/or Offline Explorer to dl the actual rm file. I'm not sure if Soundforge has this feature - Wavelab does: you can set what's called an autoslipt function, therefore bypassing the 2GB limit. If I'm capturing the set, I set the auto split to 650 Mb (you can set file size or time). This way, it will always fit onto a CD-R with no effort. Last week's show gave me 4 files. By the way - was that even him? I had video off, he was late, and I never heard him introduce himself or say anything. --- On a side note - I tend not to even burn the sets to WAV. I blew $200 CAN on a TDK Mojo mp3 player for the car and just keep all the sets in mp3 on CD-Rs. About 3 sets/CD-R. Just tag the mp3 players properly and you're off to the races. I figured it was a way better investment than yet ANOTHER 50 or 100 CD-R spindle.... In case you're intersted: http://www.tdk.com/cdmp3/mojo.html Reads tags, huge bright LED, search/playlist memory and capabilities.... ------------------------------------ m a r t Â l e p p i k Â - Â floor115 ------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________ Try AOL and get 1045 hours FREE for 45 days! http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/index.adp?375380 Get AOL Instant Messenger 5.1 for FREE!

Bicycles & Tricycles
by Grant Whitehouse 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

Does anyone know what the "Bicycles and Tricycles" track is that seems to be around in a couple of places on Soulseek? I must say it sounds amazing - but isnt how I expected the new CD to sound at all. It sounds very old style Orb. Perhaps its something from years ago - it starts with a sample about "the year 2026" and "do you suppose we'll have to wait that long to see robots?" Cheers Grant

[Orb] OT: the wonders that bush has wrought upon US foreign relations.
by Ben May 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

This just crossed the AP newswire: U.S., Russia Delay Nuclear Weapons Treaty By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 3:57 p.m. ET MOSCOW (AP) -- Russian lawmakers postponed indefinitely a vote Tuesday to ratify a U.S.-Russian nuclear arms treaty, as the parliament speaker warned that a war against Iraq could endanger the pact. The treaty, agreed to last May by Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Bush, requires that the two nations cut their strategic nuclear arsenals by about two-thirds, to 1,700 to 2,200 deployed warheads each, by 2012. The treaty was seen as more advantageous to Russia than the now-defunct START II agreement, which specifically banned Russia from deploying land-based missiles with multiple warheads. The new deal would leave it to each nation to decide which weapons it will scrap. That would let Russia keep its Soviet-built multiwarhead SS-18 and SS-19 missiles at the core of its nuclear arsenal. Russia's lower house, the State Duma, had been expected to take up debate on the treaty Friday. But the Duma Council, which sets the legislative agenda, put off the vote indefinitely and did not set a new date. ``We consider ratification very important, but now this step is not justified,'' said Sergei Shishkaryov, the deputy chairman of the Duma's international affairs committee. He added that ``in essence, we are standing on the threshold of World War III.'' The U.S. Senate unanimously approved the treaty earlier this month, a move widely seen as part of a diplomatic effort to win Russian support for a tougher line against Iraq. But Russia opposed a U.S.-backed draft resolution at the U.N. Security Council threatening the use of force against Iraq. President Bush has abandoned diplomatic efforts at the United Nations and given Saddam Hussein until Wednesday night to leave the country or face war. ``In the event of an American strike on Iraq the fate of the entire treaty will be in question,'' Gennady Seleznyov, speaker of the Duma, said during a visit to the Czech capital, Prague. ``The Americans are striking at international law,'' he said, according to the Interfax news agency. Tuesday's postponement reflected the ambivalence of post-Cold War Russian-U.S. relations. Washington and Moscow have pursued closer ties, but the Kremlin bridles at what it regards as a U.S. penchant for unilateral action, such as its withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty. Some Russian lawmakers lashed out at the United States over Iraq. ``Let them know there is a serious nuclear power that will really provide for the security of the entire world community and will never allow itself to act by the laws of the jungle,'' Interfax quoted Seleznyov as saying. Other lawmakers cautioned their colleagues against making rash decisions that could imperil the nuclear treaty and strain the overall U.S.-Russian relationship. Sergei Mironov, the speaker of Russia's upper house of parliament, called the decision to put off ratification a mistake. ``This treaty plays an important strategic role for both Russia and the United States,'' Mironov said, according to the Interfax-Military news agency reported. ------- So now not only are we not living a brave new world where the US and russia don't need treaties, but we're living in one where they HAVE no treaties AND are pissed at one another over an impending military conflict. Fucking wonderful... _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8. Get 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/featuredemail

Blue Room - Twitch Volume 6 version
by Don Gagen 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

I hadn't listened to this in a long time and I didn't remember how catchy and truly unique it is compared to other versions. It's definitely worth checking out. "There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality."
