Malicious Damage News - Transit Kings/High Frequency Bandwidth
by Nick King 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

For all those not on the Malicious Damage mail-out: "we're also putting together a transit kings album of unreleased rareties, featuring all the vinyl remixes, an orb version of the last lighthouse keeper, a 32-minute live set plus a completely new track... and that'll be the end of the line for transit kings... alex paterson and dom beken have been beavering away on a marvellous new project - high frequency bandwidth, or HFB if your tongue's tired... this is basically TK moving into the 21st century... using cuddly toys, beats, rappers, singers, orchestras, trumpets, samples, guitars, keyboards, sticks and stones - you name it they've used it or abused it... there's a quick teaser at http://profile.myspace.com/highfrequencybandwidth ... it's a major project and there probably won't be an album ready until the end of this year or early next, but the plan is to put up a podcast or two in the meantime and maybe a few downloads to keep up the interest until the final masterpiece is finished... and it's looking highly likely that malicious damage will be involved..." Sounds good! :-) ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam

The Dream - Independant on Sunday review
by theorbscureddj 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

morning all... i'm not usually one for the sunday papers but as the independent were giving away two cd's of stiff record compilations yesterday and today i was surprised to find a review for the dream written by laurence phelan... "there was a time, long ago, when the orb were kind of big in british electronic music, so it is pleasing to learn that, after a long string of line-up changes and duff albums, they are back, comprising core members alex paterson and youth. the dream references and is of a kind with their heyday output, but sounds comparatively distinctive and fresh. A collage of spoken-word and found-sound samples arranged around a spine of ambient house and dub, it is rich in texture and varied in mood. they may never be cool again, but they are far from an embarrassment." cheers... + ++ theORBscureDDJ ++ + ++ http://www.theorbscureddj.blueyonder.co.uk ++

Hi Chris, >From what I understood, the company responsible for the distribution of Trojan changed by the end of 2007. I've tried to order it 4 times before I got a hit: www.play.com had it in stock. This is what a seller wrote me: "I have just gone to reorder the item but have encountered a problem. Trojan up until now have been distributed by Pinnacle in the Uk. Trojan are part of the Sanctuary group which have recently been bought out by Universal music. These item will become available again to order in March."

It's a Small World sample - Orbsessions Vol 2
by bla blazo 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Well, it took a while but I finally found where the horn used on It's a Small World came from...it was driving me crazy because I knew I had heard it before. The horn comes from a Scientist track called Dub 16. It appears on the Blood and Fire release Dub in the Roots Tradition. -matt _________________________________________________________________ Connect and share in new ways with Windows Live. http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_Wave2_sharelife_012008
