OI that's my x girlfriend your talking about mate watch it .. And as for the orbs album mixes.. take for example Whats that track. toxygene I mean what a load of bollocks.It was fucking hilarious When I heard it I could hardly believe someone could release Such a shit mix and try to pass it off as professional What a joke! Mind you fluffy clouds aint much better.(sonically wise) But now they got that zippy bloke. things are a changing I *do* like some of his stuff. but i never heard EDM?!?!? I think It was Zippy who wrote saying it was good.! (the guy who composed it) Hmm maybe I'll search it out. I heard them at the royal albert hall a while ago With some stinking hippy bands and they were playing the same old shit I don't mean shit some of it was great but we're talking *was* like 10 years ago *was* They played a few new tracks but basically it was the same like I remember.. But with some bloke called bitchman mixing it up .. I then got accosted by their wanker agent alex nightingale Telling me to step outside and that I shouldn't have come and drunk a beer with them (although simon/alex/etc didn't seem to mind that much) (I wasn't exactly smashing up the backstage area) And if I did come the least I could do was bring them a record of mine Apparently it would have been ok for me to come if I had brought a record .. And also apparently it was nothing to do with the fact that I had a kid With a girl he went out with for two weeks once and couldn't get over it ten years later Or the fact that the amount of methadone he had consumed in his life Had riddled his sad brain with madness I 'm off to listen to Gillian Welch.. Alex night-in-jail? Like I said - bingo hall 6am.. be there. Mm that doesn't sound very Buddhist. ------------------------------------------------------- kdx: blackbanana.dyndns.org ( www.haxial.com ) mail: thrash@btclick.com I'm definitely a fan of Cydonia. Basically, every single track, except Once More, that has a singer on are a bit below par, but the rest is definitely music for my mind. In fact, tracks 2, 4, A mile long lump, Terminus and the rest are definitely among my favourite tracks the Orb have produced- what someone said a while back about EDM live is also very very true- what a phatty!!- It's like a modern day Outlands- but on the record- I'll avoid it. So there.

Am I the only Orb fan that loved Cydonia? I especially loved the leaked demo version (I thought it was sequenced better and some of the mixes were more interesting...) I got off of Napster right before it died. (A moment of silence for the best file sharing service ever...) Cydonia's radically different from all that came before it but I don't think that's a bad thing. I just thought I'd fish for opinions on this album. It's weak in places but still has more than its fair share of brilliance. And I'll be at my local record store buying the next one that comes out without hearing it, probably. And I'm completely enamored of the Thursday Tea-time shows as well (thanks you guys!). One or two days a month I walk all day putting flyers under doors for my contracting company and they're such a treat. So are the fabulous live shows... gush gush gush.

Which brings me to Soulseek. I haven't had a lot of success with this program. The searches are very slow and often don't work at all. The program itself seems to malfunction quite often. Of course, that could be my computer but it still blows. I tried Win-MX but it's very complicated. Just when I started to figure out Audiogalaxy it went south. I used to run Kazaa-lite but it's so variable. Frankly I feel something like the CR ftp is the best all around. The users' taste in music is so fabulous and I've learned of a bunch of artists I probably never would've. It'll be sorely missed.

If any of you have advice on making Soulseek work well or lists of users (can you search for individuals like Napster? I can't figure that out with Win-MX) or stuff like that, please post them.

And kudos to everyone who contributed to the three word thread! That absolutely made my day!
