1996or~1 -- This is broken into 13 tracks. The last is some pathetic, clueless dj from KROQ in Pasadena. It was a show played in a national forest somewhere. I'd love to get a board mix without the dj interruptions.

That clueless dj from KROQ happens to be Jed the Fish, and he actually probably one of the few radio djs I can stand, and he plays Blue Room (uses it as his background music when he talks) every day, in fact I actually enjoy his rambling on...so think again before you trash one of the few radio djs that will play the Orb...I remember he even played Once More when that first came out...

I have to agree with Bob. Jed knew his shit and he was the only reason i would ever tune into KROQ, the supposed "alternative" station. And besides, that Orb set was something like 3:30 in the morning to 5am...i'm sure that even if jed hadn't ingested any drugs, the sleep deprivation would be enough to make him sound kinda crazy.
The DJ/announcer during the set is Jed, the one after the set ("heroin music") is Spacin' Scott Mason, who was KROQ's chief engineer for a long time, and who did the sunday morning "Public Service" show for a number of years (which started right after the Orb's set in this case). At one point, Jed did a late-night all-Orb set on KROQ, something like 90 minutes or 2 hours...I wish I'd taped that...
and the show you are talking about is Organic 96 which also had Chem Bro's, Orbital, and Underworld. Damn fine show.
Plus Meat Beat Manifesto, and Loop Guru. All outdoors at the top of a mountain in a Natioal Forest. Best. Show. Ever. Chris
