Sticker for DVD trade
by John Wintemute 23 Aug '02

23 Aug '02

Please help!!! When I traded in my car for a new one at a dealership, I left my "Orb...Don't leave earth without one" window sticker. I am desperate to get a replacement sticker to proudly display on my new car. It was the one that came with the UK "Assassin" single. I have a VHS copy of UK import NTSC version of "Ultraworld...Patterns & Textures version" which I can copy onto DVD for trade. Or I am desperate enough to buy it. Can anyone Help? John Wintemute

What about the fact that BOB15 isn't up on the site yet and was supposed to be two weeks ago? Garphoo been unusually quiet on the Gardonian spam list lately, too... hmmmmm... Can anyone dregde up the name of the full length the Orb are supposed to release on BadOrb this fall (which probably means next summer)? I know it appeared somewhere, either in a Garphoo dispatch or in one of the magazine/online articles that accompanied the announcement of BOB12, but I can't remember it or find it in old emails to save my life. Also, has anyone heard anything more about a potential Orb fall US tour? I seem to remember someone saying they'd talked to an Orb player (someone besides LX? Witchman? Simon?) and that they'd hinted around them coming back stateside, sort of soon-ish... Thanks. JG

I would say if you like good service do not order from them. You can buy the records from Roughtrade.com -----Original Message----- From: Damien McArthur [mailto:simon_lefisch@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 3:38 PM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Orb] Re: BadOrb.com has anyone gone to badorb.com and purchased vinyl from that site?? i've purchased 2 vinyls already and havent even seen the first one yet....and that was purchased 2 months ago. i've already sent 3 emails to them saying i havent received my orders and still havent got any response. if anyone has any info about how to reach them or why they're lagging on shipping their orders, that would be helpful. thanx Damien _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb

I know this has been discussed/ answered before, but does anyone have the track listing for Lx's DJ set on the Breeze Block that he played just before the release of Once More.

Re: [Orb] OT OT OT new song responses to two responses...

>From: P J Kane >so --- this isn't looped in anyway, that was >really the way people were chanting at the >fireworks display???? Well it is made of loops but the "kill Osama, kill kill Osama" is for real. There are four different times that it appears on the tape (well, mini-disc, actually but old habits of speech die hard) and I've lifted them intact without altering anything more than eq. This is a common cheerleader chant ("Beat the Lakers, beat beat Lakers! Go Team!") here in the US. I think it is the same girls that yell "Go America!" in the intro. I was stationary when recording the fireworks show so these girls were somewhere behind me the whole time (I was a few feet from the Ohio river). >and that "phantom vocals" thing -- was that >somebody in the crowd singing near the >recorder??? it's quite strange.... If you pull the loops of the girls chanting "Kill Osama" that phantom vocal part is not there. It really freaked me out the first time I heard it. It sounds to me like "Kill Osama... Ooooooh" at half the tempo of the chant. >and they kept repeating, making a funky >little rhtythm. There have been so many times I want to kill myself for not having my recorder with me. I'm convinced that modern music has a great deal to do with the sounds around us (beeping cash registers, cell phones, jet engines, clicking machines...). I've been trying to record the ceiling fan in my bathroom which produces a killer shuffle beat but it's so quiet I can't filter out the wind noise from the fan. I've heard the theory that Beethoven's style comes from the giant steam engines of the industrial revolution and that bluegrass is a product of the internal combustion engine. One of these days I'm going to really work out that progression from farther back to the present. >no, thanks for sharing actually. I'm just glad you enjoyed it. : ) That's as opposed to this guy: >From: Beats From Beyond >Well, I'm going to go ahead and be brutally honest here... I really didn't >like the track. Not enough going on for me - needs to do more/have more >structure. Too heavy on percussion. And the chant/samples are overused and >get to be too much pretty quickly. >Sorry! You asked my opinion! :) >_jason_ I understand exactly what you mean. That would, however, defeat the premise of the project which was to use as little as possible that didn't come from the show. There are 33 total tracks and only six are not ambient sound recordings (and one is just a modulation of another so it's really only five). I can guarantee you that parts of this piece will appear in future IFPR songs and shows so stay tuned! (If you'd like I'll put you on the IFPR mailing list. I've only sent four mailings this year so don't worry about getting a bunch of updates and crap. I just send a link to the "current" page in my site.)
