For real. Mickey Mars is shite- and I can't in my wildest imagination imagine Roni Size et al. admitting to it being D&B. D&B almost always has phat beats and basslines- hence the name- Micky Mars is lacking in both- it also sounds like Deep Forest. I reckon those of you out there that like it, wear tie-die trousers- come on, admit it, ya space headz! Worst track by the Orb- No Fun remix- woke up to Peel Sesh OOBE today- nice- then I am bombarded by music my dad used to be in to- I have hence forth been angry all day.

O.K., all you out there that think Mickey Mars is the "best dnb song ever" need to go listen to Amon Tobin's Permutaions album right now, if you still think Mickey Mars is a sparkling example of experimental dnb, then check yourself into the nearest psychiatric ward to get your head examined. Jason Oh yeah, I liked In the Mode (except for that song with Zach De La Coca) it's alot harder and rougher than New Forms but thats what makes it cool. ha. it's funny because Roni Size has made some SHITE Drum n Bass himself - you hear reprazent's last album??? complete shite, except for snapshot and the the rahzel track... the other stuff is cheezy as hell. "No Fun" is a fun track. I say "Fuck All Ya'll" who are still down on Mickey Mars, with a friendly smile. -andrew _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orbGet more from the Web.

>>Frankly, I think the 7" edit is one of the most interesting pieces of drum n' bass i've heard (that would be the ding changa-din-jang-ga rhythm)... Heh, you must not have heard too much drum n bass in your time. . . >>maybe you're all just house-heads with no space for hardstep in your musical cache =P....man, you probably don't like the ganja kru remix of "toxygene" either (which is brilliant) Nope, I'm no house head, in fact I'm obsessed with breakbeats.

Check out the ganja kru remix of the Beastie Boys "Negotiation Limerick File" for an even better remix job. To each their own though, how about this for a survey if Mickey Mars aint it, what do you all think the lamest Orb track ever is?

Yeah, the 7" is ok. The 14 minute version is shit - it's just overly long and boring...and dare I say it, a little unsubtle. Bit like they said, oh we need a new track for the best of compo - see what you can knock up over lunch will you. Like the cover says "needs edit" ;-) If someone can give me an IP address l/p I'll gladly rip it to mp3 and stick it on there....honestly, you won't believe how lame it is. I paid a bit for it, but seeing as it's not all that I'm not that bothered now. IRT Rach's ad music - amazing how many good tracks get used on adverts or for short TV hooks and stuff now - I was watching Ray Mears' survival the other day, and I heard Zero 7, Royksopp, LemonJelly and the like. I'm positive I heard a snippet from a Kruder & Dormeister remix on one of those poxy DIY programmes the other day too....still waiting to hear Thievery Corporation though. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

ORB MOONMISSION - Countdown

Here at Mission Control we are tremendously impressed with the caliber of recruits. Many have ALREADY successfully completed the rigorous training: >>> Private V******* reporting for pre-flight training stage 3, SIR! Yes sir, I have completed the OT and TOABTO training segments, and am prepared for the final MO session. My papers? Here you go, sir: >>>> ................. Mission tips: 1) Due to nature of snail mail please get you applications in as soon as possible. (Don't forget the address) 2) Once the CD arrives there should be no pre-listening. Wait until 11.45 pm. We don't want any premature launches do we! As you were, bbroo

C'mon Rachel, you know that the next time LX drops LFC at a show you are going to go nuts right along with everyone else! I think Kyle Zeto is funny though, come to think of it LX probably thought Mickey Mars was quite a laugh as well (but I guess on that one I was on the outside looking in!). Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: -> rachel Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 11:00 AM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Orb] lamest orb track >"We're Pastie to Be Grill You" gets my vote! ;P ouch! i LOVE that track - its so eerie and spookey but rhythmic at the same time! (and i'm CONVINCED there are backwards lyrics in there - i just haven;t found em yet) currently, i think there's a resounding hatred of Kyle Zeto, but frankly, I could go without hearing Little Fluffy Clouds ever again. (go on, flame me) guess i'm in the minority of the list - i love the tracks everyone hates, and hate the number one single... =) rachel ______________________ Rachel's Shrine to The Orb: http://www.migoto.com/orb _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orbGet more from the Web.
