I've been trying to track down some Fraggle Rock to check it out. Bridget - any chance of sampling the show for us? That show was good fun. My mum was the set director for it! ------------------------------------ m a r t Â l e p p i k Â - Â floor115 ------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

Great for a central jukebox/repository shared by everyone in the house or office, because one running giFT can be controlled by many remote user interfaces over the local network. AFAIK you have to grab the code from CVS and compile yourself, they haven't made a proper release in a long time. reed -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQE+LWtRFK83gN8ItOQRAiQEAJ4sKuJdTCNtMCr8aVBE45o/mQJEFwCdH53G JSHOeJgYnn6rfBf6D4k8c0o= =gz5Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

New Radio in LA
by Ed 20 Jan '03

20 Jan '03

103.1 the former Groove Radio and MARS-FM has started playing dance music including electronic music. Their going under the call letters KDL and sounds like its on automated for the time being. "We're playing 10,000 songs in a row" or something like that. Over the weekend they were announcing that that former station has gone to another home on the dial. Not sure where this will lead to, but maybe an outlet where we can hear some Orb, System 7, Thrash, to name a few. *fingers crossed* fvll

thrash - historical orb question + moon about to crash.
by Bbbrooo＠aol.com 20 Jan '03

20 Jan '03

hey thrash, I know you don't like history, but a long time ago you were lugging equipment for Killing Joke then the next minute your name is in small print on dozens of Cd's. How did you go from roady to producer so fast? Were you doing music before this or was Alex so wasted (after a night of clubbing) one night, that that you took over the controls and told him "call that a mix, I'll show you how to mix?" and it all went from there? Give us orb fans an insight into the early years (virgin first track, etc), if not that vice squad photo of you dressed up and surrounded by bunnies goes on e-bay!! ************** STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT! The President has announced that - "because the moon may someday break out of orbit and crash into the earth I have decided to use our nookyalur arsenal to destroy it now". Average citizens grow increasingly alarmed! - "It's like some sort of phsycho killer in the sky!" A few liberals do raise timid objections, but of course, no one cares what they think - "They whine and complain about destroying the moon, but do they have any solutions?" "They probably just want us all to sit around and wait for the moon to fall right on our heads!" "crazy moon lovers!"................ tom tomorrow

To be or not to be
by Kennedy Cosker 20 Jan '03

What IS going on here? That last bunch of email was freakin weird. Let's face it, we like the Orb because it was (is?) flippy, wild, funny and unpredictable. The unexpected turns, some were actually laughable but it help together with the quality production. A mosaic of sound. Quality production and making just the right decision is sooo important. Sometimes JUST the right amount of buzzz or inexperience enables us to magically do it. I have found that lots of things I like came out around 1992. I have enjoyed most of the things I've heard. throughout the years, I think I've gathering just about everything over the years. There does seem to be something lacking in the newer releases but somehow the essence is still there. Those live Glastonbury gigs were great!!! Times change, people change, good, bad, whatever? Oh ya then they die Anyway, so what if that IS or isn't Thrash? I think he's is hilarious. Wasn't he in Killing Joke? That Democracy mix? !992 was a good period of time where good music happened. It has nothing to do with now (experience or not). Is he still creating good music? outt oh ya...200,000 people in San Francisco yesterday! I was there, unbelievable! It was huge
