OK, I have got to try this green marker thing. I never heard of it. Particularly: will ripped mp3’s be improved with green ink?

Orblivion is an absolute classic. It still sounds ahead of its time to me, even now. My only complaint is that 4 minute gap in 72—why? Same complaint with the Oxbow Lakes hidden-track mix on UFOff. I never got that hidden track thing. At least now I can edit out the blank space on mp3s…

I think there is less music floating around before the album release now because there is less time between completion and release. Recall the good ol’ Island days when the Orb would record an album and have it canned for two years—as in Cydonia. At least now the album gets done and then released.

Done ranting. Thanks for listening. And thanks all for all the emails lately!

Nice urban legend though. ;-)

For Orblivion, didn't Andy have a big influence there? Too bad he left.

Talking about the new album.. Does anyone have any insight on what the sound will be like? I mean, will it sound much like the OkiDoki thing? I realy like the Orb but OkiDoki is sooooo far from what the sound -used- to be like. Sorry for my rant..
Where are the old days where the music was floating around months before the release. :-D

The green markers. I knew that one would somehow

come back one day. Have a few (3-4) that I tried

it on at the time. Didn't hear any difference. If I

recall the final conclusion was it didn't improve the

sound in any way. Didn't hurt, but didn't work.

Count me in. Loved Orblivion then and love it now!

Oh, burn... and I wasn't going to say anything... but now that you
mention it, I *am* a little bit jealous :D It's a great album (and a
damn nice clock, Gavin). I at least have a t-shirt and poster
somewhere...

In re the "green marker trick" -- what exactly does this accomplish?
Does it cause the laser to do something funky with regard to letting
certain frequencies pass or not? What's the "science" behind this
claim?
