Hi Orb fans, I used to be on this list ten years ago!! I first heard the orb when I was about 13 and was instantly hooked (lying in the sun listening to ultraworld). Since then my infatuation with electronic music had definitely consumed my life. I got a degree in electrical eningeering primarily to be able to build my own synths and fx. I then supplemented this with a diploma in recording arts. I produce deep techno under the guise "Intellijel" (short for intelligent jell-o) and you can check out some of my stuff at www.intellijel.com Why am I hear?? To be honest, I am an old school orb fan; I still consider the Blue Room to be the greatest piece of electronic music of all time. I still regulalry listen to u.f.orb, orbus terrerum and ultraworld BUT I lost interest by the time Orblivion was dropped. Cydonia, Bikes and Trikes and other stuff I have not connected with... feels like the golden age of the Orb was in the past with heavy collaboration (I consider Fehlman, Weatherall and Hillage to be key elements). All that being said, I am very keen to hear the new work on Kompakt with Mr. Fehlman. My question: Can someone point me to some links, interviews. resources etc. that discuss in nerdy detail the equipment and processes used on the older Orb albums?? Even new equipment/production techniques are of interest. cheers, Danjel aka Intellijel [Vancouver]
