Since there are some newbies (or is that "noobies"?) on the list could someone put up the current ftp addresses for them? I've lost all that stuff.

I haven't lost it, but I gave my list to a newbie last week (see our mails at alt.music.orb, but I send the list private of course) and he replied that all of them were dead. It was the list that circulated some 2 or 3 years ago and can still be found when checking the archives of mailmission.

As for the live shows, a wonderful listee has recently sent me some live shows from Brixton that I've never heard. They all sound like board takes which is very nice. I liked the '91 show a great deal. It's interesting to hear how organic those songs were and how they changed over time.

Is there a weeding system among Orb fanatics, or is there only a 'I give you something when I get something equally interesting in return'-system. I only have the 2 or 3 commonly known live/rarities bootlegs from the band so I can't offer something spectacular in return.The reason why I have never completely downloaded the goodies from the dozen ftp sites that were around a couple of years ago were because I never made the time for it (and I had a major PC crash last year, resulting in losing everything that I had). And now that I would like to make the time for it, these addresses are all obsolete. So the ftp server thing would also be interesting to me... 8-))) May the orb be with you. Felix
