I agree wholeheartedly. I only recently acquired my copy of the Keiichi Suzuki single, and I only appreciate the song more now that I've heard it in stereo. :) Honestly, I think that Satellite Seranade is the Orb's best remix to date. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Aug 1998 09:09:34 +0100 From: RFitzgerald@vision-consulting.com Subject: (orb) Asylum Singles > Would anyone recommend the Asylum single? I think it was disk 2 or 1. Asylum is very hit and miss! I personally really like it, especially disk 2 with the Andy Weatherall (God of remixes himself) mix and some other mix by some lady with an Italian sounding name (don't have the disk with me! :). The problem is, my brother - who has similar tastes to myself, donated his disk 1 to me because he thought it was awful!

(though a good cache of orbsters skinning up at the back) i found the mid-week performance more stimulating than the friday one. well, meeting the star at the bar after certainly helped. i wanted to say something more profound than hey thanks for the music it was great, but theres not really much else to say. oh. he laughs if you mention having lived in hereford. an interesting range of music. (curiously, a friend brought a compilation cd on the weekend which includes quite a few of the tracks played.) no discernable orb tunes. could have done without hearing the most dumb "funky town (wont you take me to)". ghod. not even ironic. the mixing on friday night was a little bit sloppier. the work all week drink and dance crowd didnt mind. i sat down the back for a while listening, wondering about the lifestyle of a touring dj, what it would do to one's head. anyway. it was all very interesting. if someone is in touch with orb management, please forward our thanks. it's rumoured that a fuller orb might visit in summer. (yes. again.) that would be excellent if they're into it. but given the tedium of clubs and the vastness of this country, how about just one outdoor gathering in the desert about 15 hours drive from each major city. mmm. imagine that. warmly, justina. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Aug 1998 13:38:50 +0100 From: RFitzgerald@vision-consulting.com Subject: Re: (orb) Asylum Singles > << Would anyone recommend the Asylum single?

Disk 2 though I quite like, Asylum itself ain't a great tune; the andy Weatherall mix is dancey, but thats probably what I like most about it, the nice groove; the third track isn't much of a remix though, more of an extension! Similarly, for Toxygene; most of the stuff is kool, apart from the original Toxygene (in my opinion anyway). I am still fifty-fifty about that whole album, don't know whether to love or hate it; it obviously lacks the audio insanity of Thrash, but it still retains LX's groove. Some of the songs are just super though, S.A.L.T., Molten Love and that last track (don't have the CD with me), will go down in history as great Orb tracks; unlike others. I think my main concern is that unlike everything form before Orblivion, Orblivion is a collection of songs more than an Album! I do hope the next little fruit-cake will be more connected. Actually, what would work well, would be a limited edition Orb remix album; where he takes Orblivion and melts the tracks together in that special Orbish way to create a madcap collection. :) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Aug 1998 08:48:18 -0400 From: Brian Frick Subject: (orb) Alex is a musician As to Alex being a musician, I'll point out that in the insert for the Gary Numan "Random" 2-CD set, it says, "...Alex Paterson, Synthesizers...".

OK, I'm sure this, too, has been mentioned time and time again, but I don't recall seeing everything lumped together in one spot. Basically, what Orb songs are floating around out there that don't appear on the "official" albums. Now, before I get answers, let me qualify this by saying that I'm not talking about remixes of Orb tunes, NOR am I talking about Orb remixes of OTHER groups' tunes. What I'm referring to are things like Cocksville USA, Rose Tinted, and others. As far as I know, Cocksville USA and Rose Tinted are "officially" Orb tunes that don't appear on any Orb albums. Cocksville USA appears on Axiom Dub, and Rose Tinted appears on one of the discs from the 2cd Toxygene box set (UK). What else is out there? Oh, and off-topic a bit (but still ambient-related), I have two questions: Does anyone have the first Laraaji cd, which was produced by Brian Eno back in 1980? I have Laraaji's SECOND release (Essence/Universe), but alas, it's on LP, and I would kill for a cd copy of that. But his first album is back in print. Is it worth picking up? Secondly, I have a cd entitled Excursions Into Ambient Groove, Volume 2. Does anyone have volumes 1 or 3? Are they as friggin' wonderful as volume 2 of this series? (I find myself listening to that album more than any Orb release I have!) Later!

Well, in the case of American releases, they quite often get sent to the UK (and maybe the rest of Europe) for cheap sale. One can tell that this is the case as usually the bar codes are punched out by some means to make them unreadable to machines. This stops them being bought up cheap in the UK and sold back into the States at profit. This also sometimes happens to still-available product in the USA, however. Some chains in the UK, notably HMV, import deletions from mainland Europe as well and sell them as "offers" or "cut-price". Often they are chart releases from little more than a year previously.

Well, if you like Laraaji it is. I actually don't own any other Laraaji, but have heard most of his albums, and I think that "Ambient #3, Day of Radiance" (the album of which we speak) is some of his best stuff, very hypnotic and trancey, but if you _hate_ hammered dulcimer, then you won't like this since it ain't much else.

OK, no more preying on the na=EFve: A CD manufacturer keeping something like this long-term in a warehouse makes no economic sense. Anything like this that won't sell anymore -- seemingly at any price -- will be dealt with indeed. The preferred method of getting rid of said merchandise is by auction. Vendors that specialise in music will bid on an entire lot rather than by individual unit quantities, or maybe by the number of boxes or bulk weight. Now if you are speaking of a CD retailer that just sits on a bunch of merchandise, this is simply an inefficient operation that is likely to go out of business and have all its merchandise go on the auction block, ...and well, you get the picture! - -Gary H- ghenders@gary-hendershot.com Houston, TX USA # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Aug 1998 18:28:57 -0500 From: "Gary Hendershot" Subject: RE: (orb) What else? > > I have Laraaji's SECOND release (Essence/Universe), but > alas, it's on LP, and I would kill for a cd copy of that. ============================================================== I own "Essence/Universe" on CD.

TWEC is so far behind on there recall shippments its not even funny. See, every couple of months or so each store has a recall, where anywhere from 50-500 cds are sent back to the company. These are cds that sit on shelves unbought for a while. The idea is to move them from a store that can't sell them to one that can. However, being as efficient as they are, thousands of boxes are unopened and sitting in a wharehouse until someone has the time to deal with them. So there could quite possibly be some Aubrie mixes sitting somewhere waiting for us. I know I've to pull some Orb discs off the shelf in my time. None were hard to find, but I worked during the Island days. I know how TWEC runs, so stuff from the Mercury days could still be sitting around somewhere. All we can do is hope and wait... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Aug 1998 19:47:51 -0700 From: "K.C."

Last night I stopped by Tower Records, just to check it out, and I happened to come across System 7 - 777 and KLF - Chill Out. The System 7 album has a track produced and mixed by the Orb (which is quite good in my opinion) called "A cool dry place." Songwriting credits go to : Patterson, Weston, Hillage, and Giraudy. Also, I was listening to KLF's Chill Out, and I recognized many samples (not Orb). These aren't trippy samples, but just like old classic songs. Was there ever a problem clearing these samples? I would imagine that there would be a problem, and the album would be discontinued.

'Davy Jones' Locker' is not an Orb collaboration.

It's true that the compilation's liner notes offer no explanation of who "The Geep" are...it'd be nice to have some real confirmation. But if you listen to the track, I'll bet it'll sound a LOT like Orb. The story, as I heard it, was that they did this during their dispute with Big Life, hence it not being out under the "Orb" name....
