Heh. I live in Los Angeles; and various outlets play the Orb fairly often. Just spoiled I guess. ;) Anyway, I heard the song on Morning Becomes Eclectic, which is a nationally-syndicated NPR show. (And is also available as a stream online.) After perusing Lazlo's discography, I think what I heard may be the version by Acoustek. Time to go shopping.

They also did an excellent cover of "Oxbow lakes" in the CD single of the Orb. IMHO their album is essential, as the Balanescu Quartet "Possessed" album (Kraftwerk covers) is. "Acoustek" also have string covers of Orbital, Brian Eno, Plastikman tracks... Instrumental worked with Towa Tei, 4 Hero, Dj Rap... They have good taste !

This album amazes me. Released in 1999 on Beggars Banquet, the cover art shows an out-of-focus street scene from New York where the lights are the only thing visible. The music is mellow, soulful, at times minimalistic, yet very briliant. I catch myself listening to it in my car late at night. Reminds me more of Morcheeba's "Who Can You Trust" for its instrumentation, but the vocal description is right on. Gavin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sorry to get depressing, but from this group I know that I will get a knowledgeable reply: Is it the particulate matter from smoking the old "herbal relaxation" that is carcinogenic or is it the hydrocarbon byproducts of the burning process. Whatever it is, does passing it through water reduce this, or alternatively using a 10 (or 5)? micron filter. Any suggestions? "Don't inhale" is not a solution. 2) I think I read that the irate Russian heard on a couple of Orb mixes is Yuri Gagarin? He shouts something about "Americans" and "Neit, neit".

Otherwise, I never would have heard of him either. I could very well say to someone outside the US and Canada something to the effect of, "I can't believe a person has never heard of Casey Kasem!"

Well, I would never like to call music crap, that's all a matter of opinion. And I suppose Casey K was rather endearing in a strange sort of way - I was always impressed by his colourful pullovers. But what really got me laughing and pointing was the way he would click his thumb and index finger in sort of 'fist clenched up' sort of way when he started each sentence. I think you would have to see it to understand what I mean but I know what I'm talking about. If you want un-endearing crap, watch Top of The Pops. # 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, 3 Nov 2000 19:06:53 +0200 From: "=?iso-8859-7?B?xN7s7/IgyOHt3PPv9evh8g==?=" Subject: (orb) BBC Radio 1John Peel show I suggest our friends over the Atlantic should try this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/audio.shtml and choose the Radio 1 link.

It wasn't until your post that I realized we're all discussing two different things here: Casey Kasem's syndicated weekly radio countdown, which was "American Top 40," and the weekly half-hour TV show, which was probably the aforementioned "America's Top 10" or whatever it's called. The radio show is way more memorable/influential to me, but I remember the TV show, too, now that I think of it... > But what really got me laughing and pointing > was the way he would click his thumb and > index finger in sort of 'fist clenched up' > sort of way when he started each sentence. I know *exactly* the hand gesture you're talking about. Funny stuff. Casey's pretty square for sure, but he redeems himself quite a bit by virtue of being the voice of Shaggy (and Robin on Super Friends!).

It's the same show that's playing here in Rochester, NY on 12/6. DJ Alex Paterson and Juno Reactor headlining, according to the flyer. It's most definitely not an Orb show, but well worth seeing - Alex will most likely be dropping several tracks off cydonia (if the beta lounge show is a good example). peace, Sean # 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, 03 Nov 2000 13:18:31 -0700 From: orbette Subject: Re: (orb) john peel "Howat, Simon" wrote: > If you want un-endearing crap, watch Top of The Pops. Oh, I don't know, I thought Nirvana doing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on TOTP was pretty damnned endearing.

We caught up with Paterson on the eve of the release of his first new material in nearly four years. =93It was recorded over a very long period of time,=94 he explained from his front garden. =93It kept changing all the time, basically, because over a period of two years, the release date kept getting put back. So things that were starting to sound a bit out of date were weeded out were replaced by things like =91Plum Island=92 and =91Thursday=92s Keeper=92=92 To me it=92s= got a lot of the looped stuff out and replaced it with songs.=94 Which is perhaps the most noteworthy part of the new material - whereas The Orb have been rightly lauded for their richly textured, ambient sounds, the new album =91Cydonia=92 sees them employ vocalists to sing fully realised tracks. =93I=92m really happy with Cydonia,=94 he admitted. =93After lots of huffing= and puffing, it=92s really helped The Orb. I think we=92ve come out with a gem! = I think, being so over-ground compared to ten years when he was underground, we=92re in the same league as Moby. In musical terms, and in depth of having some kind of history we=92re the same. I think we=92ve turned a new page wit= h tracks like =91Once More=92.=94 Paterson also confirmed that there will be some live shows to accompany the album, though not quite in the way we=92ve been used to it before. =93We=92ll probably then tour around the end of February / beginning of Marc= h,=94 he said. =93We=92re going to be touring as Le Petit Orb, which is a slimmed down version of the Orb. I=92d really like to take this around the country, going to University venues. Let=92s be fairly honest with ourselves - with The Orb, we were doing these things that The Chemical Brothers, Orbital, and all the rest of them started doing. Those same sort of things on the Brixton Academy stage, we didn=92t really feel the need to go back and do what they=92re doing. People will say =91oh, The Orb are copying them=92,= when we were doing the whole bloody thing in the beginning.=94 =91Cydonia=92 is released through Universal / Island on January 29th. It wil= l be preceded by a single, =91Once More=92, which will feature mixes by Jimmy Cauty, Tom Middleton and Bedrock. - --> they're wrong about one thing.
