M-T Here
..wanted to tell everyone that I'm fucking stoked about the Orb show this weekend on Music For Listeners. I've edited the interview, sent off copies of the live recording to Orb HQ, and all is ready.
The live set is going to be played as it happened on March 21st, 2006 - Red 7 in Austin, TX. I am playing selected pieces from Alex's DJ set, but the Orb set will be played as is, unedited. There maybe a voice over here or there, (station ID's, etc.), but what do you want for free? The Orb set runs just under 93 minutes!!!
This is all early morning for you in the European zones. The show airs live 5 AM - 10 AM GMT on Saturday.
If you happen to live in "A Merry Car", then it is on live at 1 AM - 6 AM Eastern Daylight Time.
For you lucky people in Australia.....it's on 3 PM - 8 PM, Saturday evening by Sydney's watch!!!
The show is currently broadcast on Central Daylight Time, so it broadcasts out of San Antonio, TX from Midnight - 5 AM CDT.
Go to www.musicforlisteners.com to follow the link to the krtu.org webcast and listen in live.
Just to let you know, I think Thomas and LX were not that pleased with some of their sounds cutting out during the set. They mentioned the sound problems after the show, but the sound cuts out only two or three times during the set for a split second. It just adds to the "live experience". These problems were in real time. I tried to edit the spaces, but it sounded even worse as it sounded like a skip instead of a break. So...the live set is as it was played and heard.
Most likely the live set will air after the interview...I plan on starting the interview rather early in the broadcast. Five hours is certainly not enough for this bands wonderful catalog, but I do hope to play my absolute favorites during the show. If you want to make a suggestion or if there is something you think I just have to play, just send me a e-mail to info@musicforlisteners.com . I don't think any of "Okie Dokey" will be played as they play almost every track from it during the live set.
I do hope all you Orbheads get to listen. Certainly if "head" phones if you got 'em.
Muchos gracias to Alex P. for letting me record the set for radio broadcast and webcast!!! Muchos gracias to both LX and Thomas for sitting down and having a chat about their past, presents, and futures.
Peace...out Michael "Skidoo" Thomas
P.S. Also, a big thanks to certain list members for heading me in the right direction to set up the interview.

..Ambient-house pioneers, The Orb for five hours! There will be a complete live set and also an interview that was held with Alex Patterson and Thomas Fehlmann. These were both recorded in March 2006 at the Red 7 club in Austin, TX.
