U.F.Orb is defenetly the best album/time for the Orb. it was way more professionnal than Ultraworld (sound, equipement) and they never got back to it's level again. never had so good singles neither. But i have to say that for me, the real U.F.Orb has always been the 2cd version... with the 40min BR and assassins... you just can't top that!! after that they've tried lots of new and different thing and equipement but never to the level uforb had acheive... it's space, dancy, dub AND orb!! my 2 bucks Sly - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Racine Designer web / Web designer www.infinit.com icq: 20666083 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - # 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: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 08:36:54 -0700 From: Steve Shah Subject: Re: (orb) Not Cydonia, but...

Another fav. band of mine is Information Society -- I heard > all of their albums in order and my fav album of theirs is Peace & Love Inc. > which was their third. > > As long as everyone's talking about favorite Orb albums, I guess I'll hafta voice my opinion for once. first, i think it's hard to compare them because of obvious differences in the general sound. Ulraworld and U.FOrb have a general style of beats then chill outs, where as pomme fritz sort of melds the two, with more gray area and a whole buncha craziness. Orbus Terrarum is more dense, and also has that "earthy" feeling (duh..), as opposed to being thrown out into space or somewhere far beyond our 4 dimensions. Whenever I listen to OT, I usually feel like I'm gracefully gliding over wonderfull terrains, sometimes going higher into the clouds, sometimes touching ground...but anyways...As for Orblivion, it's super-dense with beats, and finally cools down towards the end - As the title (and cover art) implies, it's a big soup of all things orb in one streaming semi-ambient frenzy. Getting back to favorites though, I'd say U.F.Orb has the most consistent feeling or atmosphere - O.O.B.E. takes you there and you never really have a chance to get back, despite different styles of ambient, sound, house, dub, etc (that's why LX is the man...). OT just doesn't have such a spaced-out feeling, but i think it does have the most "movement" of all the albums - It's a good one to walk around w/ headphones to. Even after listening to Orblivion so many times, i still can't remember how certain tracks sound, mainly because of it's ultra-complex density of sounds and general lack of long buildups (save for S.A.L.T). OK. My Conlusion: U.F.Orb has the sound that most of us want - a nice trip to another dimension with slow ins and outs. I agree with whoever said it's like a more advanced Ultraworld (yet I really love the less-produced sound of Ultraworld it's more raw space than anything else). Orbus Terrarum - i like it best durring the day when it's sunny out =) Orblivion isn't as "easy" an album, but gets better with each listen as you start recognizing things you realize you really like - Asylum is probably my favorite orb track because sometimes it sounds really lax, and other times it just rocks. Therefore, I don't have a favorite, but I have more time to listen to music at night, when I'm tired or whatever, so I grab U.F.Orb most often. I won't even comment on Cydonia v.1 until I've heard it straight through at least a couple times... okay that's it! - -Andrew AKA Club HAPPY BEST # 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: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 10:44:08 +0200 From: derrien@club-internet.fr Subject: Re: (orb) Communicate??? >This is probably old news.

If you have a cd-r burner, use Nero (30 day demo available at www.ahead.de). Simply choose 'audio cd', then drag and drop mp3 files on the window. Nero will auto-convert the mp3s into cd audio before burning the disc. Adaptec's full version of cd creator 4.0 will also do the trick, but you've got to buy it. I don't think the crippleware versions floating around have this option. If, for some reason, Nero doesn't work, you can use Audio Catalyst to convert the mp3s to wavs, then use your usual cd-r burning program to make an audio cd of the wav files. But I'll warn you, converting Cydonia to wav will use up about 700 meg of hard drive space. hugh From the fertile mind of Alex Grundy sprouted: > What I would like to know is 'Is it possible to convert mp3 files to normal > audio files so that they can be burned onto a CD and played via a normal CD > player???' # 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: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 10:17:52 -0400 From: Sylvain Racine Subject: Re: (orb) OT: converting mp3 to audio CD =AB=ABWhat I would like to know is 'Is it possible to convert mp3 files to= =20 normal audio files so that they can be burned onto a CD and played via a=20 =AB=ABnormal CD player???' of course :o) try to find musicmatch ( http://www.musicmatch.com/ ), it's like winamp or= =20 sonique but you can convert .mp3 to .wav or even just drag your mp3=20 selection and burn it all right from MM!! and yes Cydonia just sound awesome in your stereo :oD - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------= - ------------------------------------------ Sylvain Racine Designer web / Web designer www.infinit.com icq: 20666083 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------= - -----------------------------------------=20 - - # 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: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 13:49:08 GMT From: "Ramon Vink" Subject: [none] What I would like to know is 'Is it possible to convert mp3 files to normal audio files so that they can be burned onto a CD and played via a normal CD player???' regards joyrider >Sure u can.

Incredible record. To make this even more hyperrelated... Also Spybey work with Thierault of Viovod, and made a really nice hypnotic ambient/expirimental/electronic piece... comes packaged in a nice canvas baglike material. I was listening to this once... after i had come home from work, quite stressed and tired.. I pooed this CD in and played it real loud.. and lyed out on my couch... I didn't fall asleep, because I was quite aware of the songs and the surroundings.. but I didn't feel the couch or any part of my body around me. I don't remember going anywhere... I just remember my mind floating inside the sound, and that all that was in my mind and thought, nothing else.. not stress not work... nothing but the sound... The CD build slowly into this last track that is this swirling, hectic, fratic piece, that just climaxes and falls into the low droning tones.. And at that moment when that soudn ahppend.. I snapped awake, and i felt like i had been dropped right into my body... Was wierd...

I still can't get into the first 3 songs because of the vocals. It's just personal taste, but to me, the reason I like the Orb so much is because there isn't any vocals. (...and the samples don't count since they're thrown in for humour purposes) And to continue the favorite album thread, my favorite definately has to be OT. When I first heard Slug Dub, I fell in love with it. It took me a while to get into the rest of the album, but its definately my fav. Not that I don't like the others, but every time I listen to OT, I hear something different. I think it's difficult to compare OT to U.F.Orb though, because the styles are so different. It's all good! I have to admit though, Orblivion has been on the shelf since about 2 months after it came out. and finally, I listened to the Orb before OT came out, and when it was released, it became my fav after a couple months, so I don't know about the theory of the first album heard being the fav. I'm sure it happens, but it would be silly to make a generalization like that...

In 95 OT came out and i got that, i loved this album. by this time i really loved the orb an repected their music on a new level because the did not stay with only one style (also when i started to love richard james witth "i care because you do') but when orblivion came out i was so amazed, it was the most wonderful thing. orblivion is my favorit album no doubt about it. i build such beautiful worlds in my head listening to that album, very moving. but i cant even rank the other ones before orblivion because i love them all so dearley. there is nothing like the orb, with or with out mind altering drugs (though that is such a wonderful xperience) gemini killer # 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: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 06:20:06 +0100 From: Chris Basford Subject: Re: (orb) Communicate???

Not too sure if there's a 12" promo doing the rounds, but I'm sure 'Once More' is included on the limited DJ-friendly triple vinyl version of 'Communicate' in it's full, unmixed glory.
