Hey,

Just wanted to thank DWB for the Arkiva set and Mark for the Orbert Demo - both are amazing and i encourage all listees to make sure they get this stuff. 

Personally love the you zip it links, but also recommend soulseek for those who are still seeking copies - i guarantee someone will be in the ((++ultraworld++)) room that has both available (hope it is ok with you all if i include that stuff in my downloadable files.)  I always see Pompey Mark, Polar-Sequence, Hydrallus and orbscureDJJ in there.

Also on the Orbert Demo - just saw someone (BillyMac05) sell this on ebay for $62.71.  The moron listed it as a 40 minute demo, and is now selling another Orbert CD-R, this one at least correctly listed with a 51 minute running time.  Same guy is also selling the Trekroner sets (Sunset and Sunrise) at a current price of $28.

Catching up on some prior news and notes - very much looking forward to the new material coming in 2006.  Did have a question on Orbsessions Vol 2 - there was a comment about how it would likely be released depending on how well Vol 1 sells....not in tune with how many records must be sold for something like Vol 1 to be considered a success..does anyone know how many copies Orbsession Vol 1 sold (or Okie Dokie for that matter) and if the numbers are good, bad or utterly disappointing?

Thanks - and hope everyone has a happy holiday!
