Does anyone have the url for Thrash on Myspace? I had him on my "friends" listy but had to re-do my account to post music.

RE: ADVENTURES - DELUXE RIP OFF!!!

The last page of the cd insert/booklet states that the Deluxe Edition digitally remastered by Keiron Mcgarry at Universal Mastering , London. Not an audiophile so really can't comment on the quality of the remastering - the coments that it sounds louder/bolder seem accurate, and i can see how in some of the more subtle parts of the music that this does not work very well. Still a good listen, but do not really thing this is a must buy for all orbsters as this ground has been covered in previously released material. Agree with Claus that something new would have definitely been preferred to the reissue of the Peel Session and Aubrey Mixes (as great as they are.) Jere is hoping that the Deluxe UFOrb (if and when it happens) will have some more gems. Steve --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Get on board. You're invited to try the new Yahoo!

So, what I'm tellin' ya is > this is not the hottest remaster ever done. Hargh hargh, I don't know if that even qualifies as a "remaster." That's more like opening the album in an audio editor and hitting "normalize." What a joke. Is there ANY reason for me to buy this if I already own the single- and double-disc versions of ABTU, the Aubrey Mixes and Patterns & Textures? Any reason at all? JG

To be honest, I'm not sure that these have been remastered - I honestly couldn't find any information on the sleeve notes (although it was a brief read). >From initial listening, I can hear crackling at the beginning of "Earth (Gaia)" (although that might have something to do with the quality of the "Flash Gordon" sample?) and a glitch at the end of one of the other tracks. So, has anyone who has listened to the "deluxe" edition actually noticed an improvement in sound quality, especially since it doesn't mention "remaster" on the sleeve/notes? Not that I'm complaining, as it's given me an excuse to relisten to these songs again! > > From: "Tim C" > > Can someone who pays attention to sound quality ("MP3 sounds as good as CD" > = don't bother) comment on the quality of the remastering - mind blowing (a > la Rush Signals remaster) or big deal (a la Rush Moving Pictures remaster). > > Thanks, > T ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information

I don't find you comments offensive at all - but am curious....if you knew exactly what was included in the Deluxe Edition Ultraworld (since you are a REAL ORB COLLECTOR) why were you dense enough to buy it (or at least buy it and then complain about it afterwards....) I bought it - loved it. Will listen to it over and over (just like i did with the original Ultraworld, Aubrey's Ultraworld and the first Peel) once i stop listening to the Austin gig over and over (and all the time wondering when LX will release the Orb Live back catalog so I can throw more money his way - because (per Claus) I guess that is what Alex is counting on.) Cheers! Steve "I am actually not very impressed... The CD's are fantastic - as always with the orb... - at least the older 'the orb stuff'... But there's nothing fantastic / Revolutionaly about it.... Every "REAL ORB COLLECTOR" have everything on these CD.... And yes... It might be Digitally remastered - but what the fuck... I guess the orb is turning into a money machine as every other band that is starting t loose fame around the world..." --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Dear Fello Orbsters, just a little message to ask if one of you if you have bought the new special edition of ultraworld, and if you did, wether the remastering has turned a classic into an even more beautiful recording. P.s I dont know why he didnt like it either, takes all sorts though! Cheers all Steve

Hi all... I bought it as well... I am actually not very impressed... The CD's are fantastic - as always with the orb... - at least the older 'the orb stuff'... But there's nothing fantastic / Revolutionaly about it.... Every "REAL ORB COLLECTOR" have everything on these CD.... And yes... It might be Digitally remastered - but what the fuck... I guess the orb is turning into a money machine as every other band that is starting t loose fame around the world... PS: I know I am offenting a lot of people with this statement... But for some strange 'collectors reason' I am still buing the crap my self... I guess that is what Alex is counting on... PPS: What the hell happened to the good old orb... I loved the orbsession, but all the crap on Kompakt... I am missing words... PPPS:... Does anybody know the fantastic industial artist "Leæther strip" or his alias "Klute (Or now a days KlutÆ)"... Has anybody head the new stuff... Buw this rules BIG TIME Enjoy the heat... Claus

re: Music for listeners - Orb Stream link

Hi Orbsters I managed to capture a live stream of it and listened all the way through, from 6am UK time onwards. My wife wasn't best pleased to be woken that early on a Saturday morning! What can I say about the whole 5 hours. Fantastic. In case you all haven't listened to it all yet, there's a real treat in the tracks on part 3 - The Orb version of Sunbird. Awesome to hear this song finally in studio, not live, quality. And yeah I love the live set - like others have said, the version of little fluffy clouds is awesome. I like the sound samples that float in of twinkle and barbie girl too. If anyone still hasn't managed to download the tracks from the links, then I would be happy to upload all 5 parts to anywhere you like, YES even to the Rob Stringer FTP too! By the way, the setlist published is not the setlist for the show, its for an extra few hours of tracks that wouldn't fit into the show - I know because I requested the Orb version of PWEI's Home, which unfortunately couldn't fit into the broadcast, but was kindly put into the extra 2 hours set for download. Thanks MT for putting this together for us all. Now just bring on the KOKO show. Can't wait! Regards Gimberz
