Hello, In the previous decade, Dr. Winston O'Boogie (aka Christian Nelson) assembled the Orbus Aquarium DVD, a collection of the two VHS tapes (U.F.Off and Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld). I always thought that I was safe with my backup, but I discovered yesterday that both my burned DVD and my backup rar files are corrupt. Does anyone have the files and is willing to share? I would be most graceful! Regards, Johan

Are Further Adventures Beyond Dark Matter DVD's, in 5.1?
by William Brooks 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Just wondering, does anyone know if the Further Adventures Beyond Dark Matter DVD's, are in 5.1? Be nice to hear The Orb in 5.1 p.s. Related question, (sorry to spam the list), but I know that there are some audio experts out there. I've been using 2 x MD recorders, 4 mics, on my sunglasses, to record binaural, audio soundscapes, on my travels. Both recorders have recently failed. Any advice would be much appreciated, on some replacement, suitably priced, high quality, portable recording devices? Cheers, william, bbbrooo (at) hotmail (dot) com.

A Quick Update on the delivery of the Further Adventures Beyond Dark Matter CD/DVD
by William Brooks 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

I expect that everyone received this today: >We are pleased to say it is all finally coming together, The final edit of the show is taking place as we speak and the extras are being delivered this week for the bonus DVD. We know this has all taken way too long to get out and we apologise and thank you for your patience. Rather than wait any longer we have decided to ship the package with the CD’s in now, and deliver the DVD’s as soon as they are finished.. The band did the signing this week and the Cds will all be shipped by Monday. Some of you will have already received the unsigned package with the 2 CDs inside, I am pleased to say after discussion with Alex and Thomas we are going to send all preorder customers a signed sleeve. So anyone who has received an unsigned copy will get a signed one when we ship the DVDs. We are hoping this will be in about 3 weeks. Best Wishes Live Here Now and The Orb< "extras" - mmm!

Interesting update from Sandbag

Cheers Pete aka theORBscureDDJ http://theorbscureddj.blogspot.co.uk/ +play+enjoy+float+dream+ From: mailto:orders@sandbaguk.com Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2015 2:09 PM To: theORBscureDDJ Subject: RE: Progress/release of an order Hi Pete, Thank you for your email – It is our understanding that all those who received CDs in the post recently are unsigned. Therefore, if yours has not arrived then we are pretty sure yours will follow but with signatures. This is not guaranteed but is probably the answer to your enquiry. We have not sent the CDs from here – Abbey Road have. In addition, all DVDs will follow after all the CDs have been sent. Kindest regards, Sandbag

Live at Brixton CD/DVD
by Jason 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Hey everyone, Just wondering if anyone has requested a refund yet for the Brixton CD/DVD set since it is been almost a year now since they went up for pre-sale nine months ago. Has anyone heard any update about this? Pretty frustrating that this is taking so long and I have to say this combined with a mis-ship that I got from The Orb website that was never corrected have me wondering what is going on with The Orb's management/merchandising team. If anyone did request a refund, was it an easy process? Thanks for any info! Jason

Wow sorry to hear this stuff guys they beyond dropped the ball here. Pathetic showing. One would think Alex would do something special to make it up to you folks that ordered but I kinda don't think he's the type. Hopefully it all works out in the end!

Malicious Gossip ORB special
by theORBscureDDJ 18 Jan '15

18 Jan '15

Fresh off email today... Malicious greetings to all and sundry! It's been a long time no gossip but we're still here, alive and ticking and skulking in the shadows. I've spent the last 18 months or so working for other labels, helping Jaz Coleman publish his epic tome In Cythera, running Youth's Killing Joke in Dub project, along with various projects for Pledge Music, Black Submarine, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Enemy, The Pop Group and Reverend & the Makers. But now there's a most wondrous new Malicious Damage release to shout about and we're SHOUTING LOUD!! We finally have the Orb's History of the Future part 2 up and running and in the Malicious shop. The official release date is 16.02.15 but if you buy it from the shop we'll make sure you get it during the preceding week, and what's more, the first 200 box sets ordered will be signed by Alex Paterson himself. This is a retrospective of the Orb's wildly creative 21st century output featuring material from Badorb, Cooking Vinyl, Kompakte, Liquid Sound and Malicious Damage. Full details below or in the shop HERE and if you are nipping into the shop for this, have a browse through all the other stuff too, there's a treasure trove of interesting and brain-tingling music and art in there along with a lovely selection of t-shirts for the modern sonic disciple. ****************************************************************** Also, for any SciFi/Fantasy fans out there, I've just designed a cover for a book by the author Duncan Campbell: "Twenty years from now, the ice caps melt and three sinister creatures rise from the slush. A virus breaks out in a couple of Arctic naval bases, and then, even more strangely, inside the White House. The guards become animated corpses, and rescue teams are rendered helpless by a mysterious trance effect. Most US citizens seem unconcerned. They live pampered lives inside gated city-zones and soon go back to their celebrity game shows. But some people are watching…" You can find it HERE and it's definitely worth a read. ****************************************************************** OK, book plug over, here the full blurb on the History of the Future part 2 box set: While casual attention often seems to fall on early Orb hits such as ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’ and ‘Blue Room’, the 21st century saw the fullest realisations of Alex Paterson’s original Orb mission. Having said that, the set kicks off with ‘Suck My Kiss’ from 1989’s ‘The Kiss EP’ - the Orb’s formative first steps, homaging the New York radio station which so influenced their early days. After this primitive birth holler, the set catapults into the new century and 2002’s bold Badorb label venture, which saw Alex presaging internet fever with a Battersea cottage industry independent, releasing limited 12-inch EPs by The Orb and his mates, along with tasty t-shirts and coffee mugs. The Orb’s ‘I Am The Red Worm’ represents this idealistic but short-lived little venture here. Several tracks are drawn from The Orb’s time with respected German electronic label Kompakt, when Alex and long-time collaborator Thomas Fehlmann released several low-key EPs and 2004’s acclaimed ‘Okie Dokie It’s The Orb On Kompakt’ album, which saw the pair mining deeper new electronic terrain with a more minimal manifesto. That year also saw The Orb start a relationship with Cooking Vinyl, resulting in 2004‘s ‘Bicycles & Tricycles’ (with additional co-writing by Simon Philips and John Roome) plus 2008’s towering bass-fest ‘The Dream’, which saw Alex reunited with original partner-in-aural-mischief Youth plus Dreadzone’s Tim Bran. These two albums are represented by tracks including ‘Aftermath’, ‘Prime Evil’, ‘Gee Strings’, ‘The Truth Is...’, ‘Let The Music Set You Free’, ‘From A Distance’ (co-written with Jimmy Cauty) and ‘Vuja De’. Throughout this century Alex’s sessions with Thomas Fehlmann at his Berlin studio have continued to throw up richly-textured electronic explorations and soundscapes which take the original Orb blueprint far into the future. Such a work (also represented here) was 2009’s criminally overlooked ‘Baghdad Batteries (Orbsessions Volume III)’, released on the long-running UK imprint Malicious Damage (which first released Killing Joke in the late 70s). 2012 saw the duo’s monumental sessions in Berlin with Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, resulting in ‘The Orbserver In The Star House’ (including a the reggae legend’s own take on an early version of ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’ to make ‘Golden Clouds’) and the following year’s sequel ‘More Tales From The Orbservatory’, whose ‘Fussball’ appears in its Deadbeat remix incarnation. The set also includes the 17 minute ‘Battersea Bunches’ created by Alex and Thomas as the soundtrack to a short movie by Paterson and Malicious Damage’s Mike Coles, shown at Battersea Power Station in June 2010 (and released the following year as ‘C Batter C CD/DVD’). The Orb’s spaced odyssey since the 90s hits period was, in many ways, more exciting, innovative and even fun now the pressure was off and the real mischief could start. But the last 15 years have also seen some magnificently groundbreaking music, as beautifully displayed in this sparkling new collection. Bass is the place.
