Subject: [Orb] THE ORB Q&A ANSWERS
FROM LX!!
[Bbroo Writes] 1) Is there any truth to the
rumour that there will be an Orb DJ (or live) session in an amsterdam
coffeeshop for all the orb listees who have supported the band with their
hard earned cash throughout the years?...."the dream" (is alive)
promotional event, maybe...?
NO THERE'S NOT. GREAT IDEA ! WILL ASK MY RECORD
LABEL....
...'kashmir coffeeshop', 'twstd nightclub',
'Sugar Factory' or 'Studio 80' would be great locations.
THANK
YOU FOR THE SUGGESTIONS .
2) Did I hear that LX is a dad again?
YES !
TO A BOY & HIS NAME IS TIGER . HE'S NEARLY 11 MONTHS OLD
NOW..
3) Is his daughter into music? Does he find
himself influencing what she listens to and does she like the orb?
YES
MIA IS BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS OF MUSICAL INTEREST. GOT HER A KEYBOARD FOR
HER BIRTHDAY . SHE LOVES LITTLE FLUFFY CLOUDS !
4) Is it true that a certain ex-orb member (heavy
metal fan) has always been an egotwisted twat or do his deep psychological
problems spring from the day he was locked out of the studio?
NO
COMMENT
5) The day before this, was Alex repeatedly
playing a simple sine sine wave when he was told to f*off by this same
individual and thus ended his orb involvement?
CAN'T
BE BOTHERED , HE LEFT 13 YEARS AGO ... STILL THINKS HE'S SOMETHING.
6) Does Alex foresee any future Orb presence in
online virtual worlds such as Second Life, etc, or does he think it's a
load of crap?
BEEN
THINKING ABOUT DOING GIGS ALL OVER THE PLACE IN ONE GO , BUT IT'S GOING TO
TAKE OFF WITH THE FUTURE.
7) Does he ever use an erbthc vaporizer, if so
what is his preferred setting?
NO
,
8) What would be the cost for the Orb to play at
a solar powered Total Eclipse Party on July, 22, 2009 in Nepal or
Northeast India?
YOU'RE
HAVE TO TALK TO THE MANAGEMENT. BUT THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL. WENT THERE IN 1992 & GOT SOME
BRILLIANT SAMPLES IN THE JUNGLES OF NEPAL & NORTHERN
INDIA,

backwards lyrics at the beginning of Majestic (if they were intentional,
etc.)?

[Brian Kinney]
1 - His thoughts on the state of the music
scene.
cut up & eaten up , by the majors ,
destroying our life styles & having no spirit.
2 - His thoughts on digital distribution vs hard
media.

3 - What's he listening to right
now?
the sound of my garden , my cats , jets , and the computer
humming.
4 - Where does he see himself in 20
yrs?
hopefully still here & enjoying football, music & my
family ( no 1 )
5 - Should we still be expecting an Orb
dvd?
leading
question, I have a plan ! look out for malicious damage off shoots .....
6 - What's his Xbox Live gamertag? (I'm sure he
plays Fifa)
sfx
snow boarding .... wipe out is the
bomb
[Anthoney Bryan] this may be a touchy subject,
but I'd be curious to know which time period with his former partners
(thrash, andy, witchman? are there more?) does he regard as most
productive/best, and would he work with them again? (in light of his
working with cauty & youth again, & fehlmann as a mainstay).
also, who are his favorite one off or part time
collaborators?
1/ jimmy Cauty
(88-90)--- best time ! 2/
youth (90-92)--- best time as well ! 3/ thrash(92-94 )< : ( : ( sad. 4/ thomas fehlmann (90 to present )
---- best time. andy hughes(95-99) ---fun times . simon phillips as bass
player from 92 / 03 ---- best times. witchman ( 00- 03)------ very dry times ! fil le gonidec (
82 - present ) ------ still having a laugh. tim bran (05-present) -----
more best times . youth (o5 - present ) --- back to the best time
!
[Gel Sol]Ask him when he's gonna release Orbvs
Terrarvm Part II and Orblivian Part II. Also, ask him if he sampled the
opening bassline fromthe Eagles "One of These Nights" for The Passing of
Time.

maybe one of these things that
happen in black ink.
[Ramon Vink] -is there going to be another Orb
mission to space? Or is Orb grounded to
earth..
yes ! "

.
-i want to know once and for all, the sample in
the start Perpetual Dawn: "what is this? i never heard...." and that
'laughing' sample right after that, where did it come from? -any plans to
do a concert in the Netherlands again?

idea....
