by Geoff Elgey 19 Aug '02

G'day, I saw "Mutations" CD listed at the local record shop here in Australia: www.rockinghorse.net ORBITAL - MUTATIONS oolaa (joey beltram mix ),chime(ray keit Second Hand Code: FX181(sh)$ AU19.95 (that's about US$10). Not sure if they still have it, but worth a try if you're after out-of-print Orbital. -- Geoff

I'd hope that the people on this list aren't anal enough to hate you over your concert preferences. :) It's always fun, though, to see who's good in concert and who isn't. At any rate, sounds like it was amazing show - wish I could have caught one of the dates. At least now I have some new mp3's to hunt down! Julie YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME WITH PARAMECIUM ALONE!

MOBY
by Shannon K. Campbell [from UTMC] 19 Aug '02

Brandon said: "speaking of electronic shows though, i just saw moby the other day, and damn, he's a rock star." Hey Brandon, I have to admit I went to see MOBY too here in Knoxville. We got same show but I found very entrtqaining and very war with the audience. I also wore my Orbital [Spaceboys] shirt but we ahd no seats, which was good, cause I hate seats at a dance show. Sad thing is that we got there at 9PM [showtime started at 8PM with Azure Ray from Athens,GA]. Somehow we missed Dirty Vegas, which I really wanteds to see live. They must have played 2 songs or something! Did you get to see them/How was it? Hey Cas, Kulsi, Rob, Dan[owo], SteveP, MadisonJulie, Aimee, and all old listers that still lurk. Cheers from East Tennessee! Shannon [Not dead yet]

Electronic Concerts

1) David Gray - considering him electronic because what made the show so good was how he combined such folky-poppy stuff with some really cool electronic whizzes and pops and thuds (especially the thuds!) 2) Chemical Brothers 4) Lunatic Calm 3) Orbital 4) Crystal Method (pre-TDK bullshit, pre-whatever their new album is, pre-krystal bizkit as i believe someone on the list has already deemed them) 5) DJ Spooky on INfinite Justice Tour 6) Depeche Mode 7) Oakenfold (pre-OakenEgo) 8) Mum 9) Freaky Flow w/ MC Flipside (pre-moonshine) X) Plaid and Nobekuza Judging from all the "pre-__" statements I felt obligated to make, you can see it's funny how volatile and dynamic the life of an electronic act is. Alot of these bands really throw in the towel early, or jsu tlose the spark. Or just go away ______________________________________________________ Noggin - noggin(a)txcyber.com *or* nogginj(a)hotmail.com ICQ: 6395209 AOL/Yahoo: NogginJ

>No need to shut up... tonight I'm trying out a real drummer, bass and >guitar player to what has previously been an all electronic duo... this sounds really cool - where are you playing? or is this just for fun? >synchronicity... and as a member of this orbital list for several years at >least - I've always enjoyed posts where I learn about other similar >artists. well, the "similar" part is sorta dubious... but then again maybe not. since getting into "jam" music (starting with - you guessed it - phish) i have found many similarities between what some of these bands are doing and what house/dance/techno/whathaveyou is trying to accomplish. they are both based on deep grooves and tension/release. they both build to climaxes, and can drive crowds to frenzied states of intensity. and maybe most importantly, they are both about focussing on the energy of the crowd, and not necessarily about hitting all the right notes or being the most musically complicated or whatever. i'd be curious to hear if anyone else feels this way. it seems to me that the two "scenes" are getting closer and closer all the time - and not just because of a shared interest in illicit extracurricular activities (although that probably helps). -nub _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

>10) Chemical Brothers > >Ok I thought the last two were crap but I haven't seen enough live >electronic to make a good list... oh yeah, i saw them as well, at red rocks with fatboy slim. it was... okay, but i'm not a huge chems fan so whatever. i enjoyed fatboy slim's dj set more (especially the junglized version of prince's "when doves cry"). i also saw oakenfold once upon a time, and it was about what you'd expect. i liked it, but i think those cheesy trance days are behind me. :-p i do hope to catch a richie hawtin dj set one of these days. if you haven't checked it out yet, i highly recommend his DE9: Closer to the Edit CD. some seriously pounding, minimal, yet hugely funky beats. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

>let's see those top 10s (or 5s or 3s or whatever), at >least for my own reading pleasure. unfortunately i haven't seen too many electronic shows. the only ones pertinent to this list would probably be orbital and plaid (both seen in denver in the last couple of years) and while plaid was definitely fun and interesting, orbital schooled them in terms of intensity, stage presence, crowd (oh god the plaid crowd sucked), and everything else. lately my tastes have been drifting toward the so-called "jamband" scene, where there is currently a lot going on with mixing electronic elements into more conventional rock formats. sound tribe sector 9 is a good example - they have an absolutely UNREAL drummer who lays down these lightning-fast breakbeats, and then add various effects and loops and atmospherics over the top. very cool. there are many other examples, but none of them very this-listy, so i'll shut up now... hello to all who, like myself, never bothered unsubscribing. :) -nub _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

well, i may be ostracized by many of the (remaining) members of this list, but i have to say that orbital may well have been knocked down to #2 on Brandon's Top 10 Best Live Electronic Acts That He's Actually Seen list. On friday i had the pleasure of going to the chicago stop of the Warp USA Mini-Tour, featuring the likes of richard devine, jamie lidell, mark bell, dj ease, chris clark, prefuse 73, and luke vibert, amongst others. and while most of them were all entertaining in their own right, jamie lidell completely blew me away. as far as sheer talent, stage presence, and overall live show, mr. lidell was, in my humble opinion, way beyond any other act i've ever seen. he started out with your standard wierd IDM random noise business, but it quickly escalated into him beatboxing (IDM beats!), singing (his voice resembles jamiroquoi's), and rapping, while still doing music. he would sing something, sample it, and then loop it, only to sing something else on top of that and sample it, creating wierd harmonies for himself to sing over. then he'd go in and manipulate the samples of himself singing or beatboxing, IDM-ing the hell out of them. all the while he had a continuous stream of lunatic expressions on his face, or wierd smiles signalling that he was pleased with himself. it's really hard for me to put into words how his show went, but i guess i could just say that i was in constant awe for the whole hour. unbelievable. if you get a chance to see him perform, i highly recommend it. *Brandon's Top 10 Best Live Electronic Acts That He's Actually Seen * 1) Jamie Lidell 2) Orbital 3) Gusgus 4) Richard Devine 5) Otto Von Schirach 6) Kraftwerk 7) Ming & FS (ok, they're djs, but they put on a damn good show, and they play guitar and bass during their set) 8) Plaid 9) Autechre 10) Slicker Honorable mentions: the crystal method, lofidelity allstars, phonecia, russle haswell, chris clark, prefuse 73, gosub, ultradyne love, brandon invergo ===== brandon invergo barrel o'monkeys http://www.barrelomonkeys.com02.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
