My pal Gel-Sol, whose MP3s I use as background music when playing Carom3D, but that is of no importance here and now, asked: .+.+. Has anyone heard Fehlmann's Low Flow yet? I heard it is good and not as .+.+. "minimalist" as Visions of Blah... And my answer is: No, didn't know he had a new disk, but as a matter of fact, I am a bit tired of The Orb and related products right now. I listened to the MP3 teasers of the latest Kompakt release and it sounded as Fehlmann, not as The Orb (liked the 'singing in the rain' tune though). THE Orb doesn't exist anymore, they should change names like Gong did decades ago and have a Thomas's Orb and an LX's Orb. The latest records are a bunch of unordened tunes from a lot of collaborators who all have happened to meet LX in the cafeteria (where he served some hot chocolate I presume). Not that they are all bad, B&T is even excellent at moments. Visions Of Blah on the other hand was all 'flow' but no music, quite a boring experience IMO. The Kompakt vinyls are no Orb, but Fehlmann trying to get an easy buck, sorry Euro, and LX enjoying the gravy train ride because he has to pay for his rent too. Maybe we sould all buy Gel-Sol records now and start discussing these... Felix PS: I would still give an arm and a leg for a genuine Blue Room 'long version' cd release with some extra collector goodies added on top...
