It's great to see so many people still on here. I can't remember when I 1st subscribed. It must be prior to 2K though. I don't do social media of any sort, so it's good to still hear what's going on and what people are up to. That gold edition of 'Abolition Of The Royal Familia - Guillotine Mixes' on Bandcamp lasted less than an hour. I got the email at 10.30 and when I checked at 11.10 it's sold out. ________________________________ From: m j <m111j@hotmail.com> Sent: 28 July 2021 00:38 To: What were the skies like when you were young? <orb@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: [Orb] Re: Long time no hear This is a great blast from the past. I think I originally signed up for this list in 95? Never posted much. Wasn't going to respond to this thread but was listening to a 7" just now and recognized the b-side as a tune LX played during the orb's summer tour in 1997. It's called Getting Hot by Gwen Guthrie. I always labelled it as " Best Night of Your Life Interlude" or something like that. I know for sure he played it on 7/19/97 in Chicago. Love that song! -matt Sent from Outlook<http://aka.ms/weboutlook> ________________________________ From: Gavin Miller via Orb <orb@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, July 17, 2021 4:42 PM To: What were the skies like when you were young? <orb@mailman.xmission.com> Cc: Gavin Miller <orbaddict@yahoo.com> Subject: [Orb] Re: Long time no hear Glad to see this thing is still on! Physical releases seem to be more of an afterthought lately, as LX has been doing a bit of the WNBC radio stuff in addition to the side projects. i have yet to read the book, and Rough Trade still; hasn't shipped my Sedibus vinyl I ordered in March, so I have some catching up to do myself.

Though I don't do Facebook. I do follow #theorb and @theorblive on Instagram. In fact there's a picture of Alex DJing a RSD day event at a shop this morning at #theorb. I post pictures of Orb items I obtain at @fvloungelizard among other music related items. On Jul 16, 2021, at 10:55 PM, Rachel Roth wrote: I am still here! Ive been on this list since the mid 90s, so I think that qualifies me as “old”, who n several respects :-) Many of us have been using a Facebook group instead of this list: https://www.facebook.com/groups/621986444582146/?ref=share I am working my way through the book now. A bit of a slow start but have been enjoying listening to old remixes I had long forgotten about along the way. And there are lots of details I didn’t know.

Also the updated release info is essential in trying to catch up. When I say old I've been on this list for probably 25 years. Checking to see if it still worked and if anyone was still around.
