I just got back from tower records and they had 1 more copy, amongst other older Depeche Mode mixes. Are you talking about the LP or the CD. Because what I'm talking about is the CD. I could see the LP being harder to come by, because I have that too. But as far as I know they have the CD in stock. The CD reads as follows, Sire/Reprise 21735-2 "world in my eyes/happiest girl/sea of sin" the year 1990. Is the mix on the record 6:28, I don't recall. hope this clears up the confusion PEACE # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Feb 1998 14:29:23 -0600 From: hostile@starnetinc.com Subject: Re: (orb) Re: auntie aubrey's....

The CD reads as follows, Sire/Reprise 21735-2 "world in my eyes/happiest girl/sea of sin" the year 1990. Don't confuse the "Pulsating Orbital mix" with the "Pulsating Orbital Vocal mix" of Happiest Girl. The non-vocal mix is quite common and easy to find. AFAIK the only way that you could get the vocal mix was on Mute LCDBONG20. It was only released in the UK in limited quantities. The information that you stated above indicates that you just bought the US version which is still in print and has the non-vocal mix. The non-vocal version is slighter shorter than the vocal as well. At least it is shorter on the US version.

Well, I've only seen Alex by himself a few times, and he usually spins some pretty hard drum n' bass beats with a few strange samples thrown in for good measure. It's good....but it's not the Orb.

There's a section with different utilities for CD-Ripping/Sampling and MP3 Encoding. I don't know if there's a FREE mp3 encoder that supports full quality encoding, but it's not hard to find the registration code for L3ENC so you CAN make full quality files. ******************************************************* * Take a break from the 90s visit our 80s Music Stop * * http://www.ug.cs.dal.ca/~swim/80stop.html * ******************************************************* # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Feb 1998 12:39:08 -0500 From: won-ton Danjel van Tijn <6tdv@qlink.queensu.ca> Subject: (orb) le Petit Orb - not so small! Wow, what a great concert! Mixmaster morris was walking arround the whole time in a space suit (he is a really friendly guy, during the Orb set he was walking up to all sorts of people including myself just to chat), the Taiko drummers were really interesting and there were some great jungle DJs. As for the Orb, they were on a one foot high stage that had two tables side by side on it. On one table was LX with turntables (one of which was fucked, all the bass was feedingback) and the other hand Andy with his mini rig. It was pretty cool to be able to watch from a cross a small table than from behind barriers and security guards. For all you trainspotters I noticed that LX has a tattoo of one of the turtles from Aunt Aubreys remix album on his right fore-arm. As for gear, Andy was using: a Korg Z1 as a control synth, a nice mac powerbook, a sherman filter, a Mackie 1604 mixer, one of thos weird Latronic Notrons (on his lap) and a mini rack of stuff I couldn't see except for a Digitiech Studio Quad v2. Musically they opened up with some old school dub reggae. At this time Andys monitor was fucked so he was screwing arround with that while LX was dealing with his problamatic turntable. They eventually got sorted out and broke into Perpetual Dawn (with full original vocals). They also fooled arround with one of the songs from Orbus Terrarum (I can't remeber the name off hand) for a long time, bringing in some hard beats now and then. The only other Orb song I remember them playing was O.O.B.E. Mixmaster Morris was all over hearing that! Other than these three songs I think they played some new stuff which was really hard 4/4 time stuff (more like U.F.Orb) I remember Smiley saying he had thought the new stuff was pretty hard as well. Anyways, after the dub and selected ambient samples they went right into the hard 200bpm+ drum & bass. This is where Andy used the Notron to add in some fucked up beats and sounds. The crowd definitely seemed to respond best to all of the hard jungle stuff. It was a good show, too bad the equipment held them back a bitat first. Toronto has been lucky to have LX visit four times in the past year. Maybe we will see them again this summer? cheers, Danjel van Tijn # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info orb" in the message. # Postings must go to orb@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Latest Orb info: http://www.theorb.com/orbulletins.html -- look here first! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Feb 1998 08:39:57 +0100 From: Karsten Hammer Hansen Subject: (orb) live photos of Orb http://www.popfolio.com/ 4 photos but what the h...

Hey all I was wondering why I had not received any messages from the Group yet. I did receive a notice saying I had been accepted, but as to date nothing. I mean, sure the recent gig in Toronto is worth mentioning, right? Was it broadcast over the Net? Oh yeah and what is the URL for the MP3 site? BTW, I just picked up System 7's Fire+Water compliation from Butterfly and quite liked it, anyone else have impressions?

They are both encased in this neat opposite-opening CD case. Pretty neat package. Tell me, what is the rest of the KLF like? This sort of reminds me of System 7's second album with the vocals. It's ok, not great, but what of the other KLF? Is it all this energetic?

They did a story on Thursday about this classical (I think) music group called Bang on Cans or something like that. Anyway, they put Eno's Music for Airports into a score and have people playing it live on "real" instruments. Pretty cool to hear on such a big program, especially since I'd never heard Eno before. And the whole time I was listening to this story I was thinking of the Evensong String Arrangement of Oxbow Lakes on the CD5, which I love. Anyone know anything at all baout it? Why hasn't the Orb done more of this sort of thing? Smiley?
