A bit OT but anyway; With many thanks to the other members of this list who have already steered me in the direction of a number of other quality albums/artists, here is my pick; -System 7 (obvious. Alex collaborates with them occasionally and there is a great archive on groovetech.com with Alex and Steve Hillage. Can't wait to see them at Glastonbury) -Shpongle (first album outstandingly good, second not quite as slick) -Hybrid (lots of remix) -KLF ('Chill Out' of course) -Blue Jam - Series on Radio1 (as in Chris Morris (of Brasseye fame). Most likely on an FTP somewhere. If not and anyone wants to host the first three series in RA format (medium quality sound) then let me know and I'll upload or burn onto a disk. BTW - I only have the first 10 minutes of the banned episode 6, series 1. Does anyone have the rest?) Of course music can be a highly personal thing and some days even some Orb stuff clashes with my mood (but not very often I'm glad to say). I could go on to mention Underworld, Eat Static, Orbital, Leftfield (now sadly no more but two great albums), Ozric Tentacles, any Sasha & Digweed compilation, etc, etc...

May be a bad subject, tag, but this is a stream of conscience kind of question: If I like the orb, and I do, what other artists/bands would I like? kr, dcdawson -----Original Message----- From: Dan Kelly [mailto:dp.kelly@comcast.net] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 7:15 PM To: orb@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Orb] Fireman ( McCartney & Youth..) Bbbrooo@aol.com asked: (re: Fireman} "I'm intrigued, is this music any good?" chilled, ambient, very nice - should appeal to Orb fans. get the "Rushes" cd; also a nice dub on the Liverpool Sound Collage cd. the "Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest" cd is several variations of the same track. dan _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb
