Well, a working version of the orb gigography is up. :) It seems to be working for me.. I've used it on both Mozilla and IE for the Mac and dabbled with it on IE for windows. I would recomment using a newer browser because of the stylesheet support. The php and mysql code seem stable. So basically, everyone can try it out now :) The address is http://orbus.terrarum.net. The sites not done, mind you, but it is working. The next main feature I want to add is to be able to edit a show thats already on the page.. incase of typos and stuff and to go back and add notes. Also the ability to add a new artist (you can add and organize shows based on either the orb or alex.. theres a link to add a new artist, but it doesnt work yet). And to be able to upload a picture / icon of yourself for some odd reason. So go ahead and try it out. If you have some info to add, by all means go for it :) If you see something you dont like, tell me what you'd like to see instead. If you see something broke, let me know. And the people who offered to do some images / layouts go right on ahead and we'll see what we can work in. This site is not 800x600 friendly. I tried to make it, but I'm also against 800x600 compatible sites in a way.. I mean.. why would anyone run their resolution at 800x600 on a modern computer? :P If it bugs a lot of people who will be using the page, I will work on fixing it, though :) Thanks --- Joe Topjian email: joe(a)portsys.net web: http://terrarum.net/joe

Re: [Orb] "Back to Mine" first opinion

Come to think of, I have yet to hear a "back to mine" compilation that was worthwhile owning. The tenaglia one was weak, the Fila Brazilia one was boring, the Groove Armada one wasn't great... I think the problem is that they tend to try and bring together too many disparate elements. Sort of a "Here's a cathartic output of all of the stuff I listened to from high school on" kind of list. I haven't heard the orbital one but personally I have just not been terribly impressed by these comps at all. >I agree.. I was disappointed. >Although I liked the smiths remix (i dont care for the original at all) and >the new orb track, the rest of the CD was a disappointment. especially >considering the other stuff alex has played in mixes beforehand. > >atleast it wasnt as bad as orbitals back to mine.. > >--- >Joe Topjian >email: joe(a)portsys.net >web: http://terrarum.net/joe > > >_______________________________________________ >Orb mailing list >Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

back to mine
by Alan 27 Jan '03

I didn't like "Rooty" by the Basement Jaxx either. I really liked their last album. I almost ordered the Orbital Back to Mine but I didn't like the list. Why can't they do these more like K7 mix albums or something? www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat.

Back To Mine
by mark weston 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

Hi, Loads of interesting reviews, i noticed that someone mentioned that the CD wasnt mixed, the copy i have is sort of mixed or should we say blended together.The vinyl thou is definatly unmixed. Still cant take away the fact that Have You Seen Her is a classic...... Its a shame that the Orb track wasnt a bit stronger then perhaps we would of been a bit more chuffed.However its Chill down stuff and im sure it will hit the spot. More comments....Regards Mark

"Back to Mine" first opinion
by marcolphus 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

Well, I knew most tracks before and I must it's not too good. It's not even mixed!!! (or you can call it blend mix) Most tracks are very ambient (something like Pop Ambient 2003) and very well known before (unlike DAP's Voyage into Paradise)... Orb track is nice, however too short and too Fehlmannish... Really disappointing album...

(for me) I do not recall many comments here on Fehlmann's latest album Visions Of Blah, but that disappointed me as well, only 2 or 3 better to good tracks and these reminded me of Cool Harbour anyway (that track is fantastic BTW, but not if it would be repeated for over 60 minutes on a new album). Will The Orb's new album sound like Blah? Umpfff.... I hope not... Felix

There is a virus that is infecting all of the root servers on the web. Traffic will(should) be back up to pace be the middle of the week. SO if logging on to my server seems hard, it is b/c Roadrunner is running very slow. This problem started later Friday night. My server is secure and un infected. That is the problem, I suppose, with people having connection problems. Thankx RMStringer " You Have No Conscience And IT Seems You Never Will" Nothing Stays - Cyberaktif
