Sorry folks,

I've only seen the first peel sessions once before here in Canada,
that's when I bought it. I apologize for my ignorance. Well, now I've
got two copies of the peel sessions, one for the car, one for home.

That's why it is *so* important to specify exactly where "here" is...

Someone may well still want it from you, possibly even at that price, if
they have no other access to it. My main point was that it wasn't rare,
not that you shouldn't try to flog it. (Although one does affect the
other...)

BTW, your price is almost reasonable, if you are asking for Canadian
dollars, as opposed to US$.  ;)

Yeah it's the day our great nation was founded and Governor Arthur Philip
sailed into the harbour and claimed it for England. So this might be seen
as the beginning of our country, but really the Aborigines were here and
doing their thing much before that.

On a lighter note it's an excuse to have a great party usually involving
lots of beer and a barbeque. ;)

PLEASE NOTE: historical material below this line... read at your own risk
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

as for australia day (for those who are interested):

In honour of the Aborigines, it is often called "invasion day"
40,000 odd years of Aboriginal habitation
1616    First landing on West Aussie shores
1788    Cook etc lands in East aussie
1901    Federation of the states of australia

so for us over here in Western Australia, 26th Jan means SHIT! We had a
totally separate history right up until Jan 1st 1901, which is really a more
australian day than the whole Botany Bay stuff
In the 1930's WA wanted to secede from the rest of Australia and become its
own country!!!

but enough of this History lesson... lets get back onto important things
like the OAA!!!!! hahahahaha :-)

I heard something similar, but even more chillingly beautiful. One
night, NPR was using MSNBC's feed, which at the time was an open mic on
the roof of the Iraqi Ministry of Information.

At first, all you could hear was the ambient (!) low crackle of
anti-aircraft fire. After about 20 seconds of that, the muzzein's call
to prayer from the mosque across the street began to sound. After almost
a minute of that, suddenly, there was a burst of bomb blasts, fairly
close to the mic, and correspondingly loud. Throughout it all, the
patter of the AA fire and the muzzein's call to morning prayer continued
unabated. Shortly after that, the MSNBC correspondent started talking,
and it got a good deal less entrancing.

I was driving home at the time, and was absolutely spellbound by the
aural beauty and horror of the moment.

Satellite phones are an amazing thing.

===>Indeed!  But I have to comment that this list reads more
like a Rolling Stones "Greatest Albums of All-Time" list.  In
other words, a few truly great albums surround by some of
the worst garbage the world has ever heard.  I won't mention
what is garbage and what is great...I'll keep my strong opinions
to myself for once....  (Although I guess I've already voiced it,
huh?)  ;-)

Peace, love, and the obliteration of all other forms of life....

Six months or a year ago, there was some talk on the list about how good
Lifeforms was.  I got the two-cd set, but recently I've been seeing a cd5 or
6 called Lifeforms with an orangish cover.  The names of the tracks do not
correspond to the names of the tracks on the 2-CD set.  Does anyone know
what this is, if it is the same as tracks on the larger album, and if this
may be the one that is really good?

Mike -

The Lifefoms CD single contains six interpretations of the Lifeforms
track that are mixed together.  IIRC, part 3 corresponds to the track on
the 2-CD set.  When you say "is this the one that is really good", if you
were disappointed with the 2-CD set, don't bother with the single.  If
you liked the title track on your 2-CD set, go for it.

    That is the lifeforms cd single... It has like 7 or 8 tracks, all
titled "lifeform path X" where X is the track number. Has a picture of a
little girl on the cover? It's pretty good I like it. In fact I think its
the only FSOL cd I have... :)

Has anyone in the U.K. noticed Mark & Lard on Radio 1 (2-4pm, excellent)
play Toxygene everyday at about 3pm for a short talkover bit? I have'nt been
able to listen for a few weeks but I think they still play it. They've also
played other Orb tracks on occasions. It was also mentioned sometime back
that Bill Drummond had attended one of their "Shirehorses" gigs.

Yeah, I like tracks 4&5 best,  then track one. I think 4&5 are the most

As all others I also have to recommend the fsol lifeforms single. It's
not too long that I started buying fsol albums but it hit me like The
Orb. Another really good fsol album, just like the lifeforms single, is
cascade:

ASW 6175-2

part 1   7:22
part 2   9:38
part 3   4:24
part 4   4:39
part 5   6:12
shortform   4:16

Parts 1 - 5 merge into each other except for track6 (shortform). The
cover shows a weird purple-tentacled creature or object. (I don't know
if "tentacled" is the right word - but you probably know what I mean...)

Anyway, The album treats you as good as lifeforms.

Inspire peace,
Colin (aka weed)

===>Indeed!  Cascade is incredible.  Actually, like the Lifeforms
single/ep, Cascade is a single/ep taken from a song from the
Lifeforms 2cd set.

I would ALSO recommend picking up the single, My Kingdom,
which is hauntingly beautiful...it combines music from Ennio
Morricone's _Once Upon a Time in America_ soundtrack, and
Vangelis' _Bladrunner_ soundtrack (from "Rachel's Song").
I've often described FSOL as sounding like what the Orb would
sound like if they didn't have a sense of humor.  (I don't
mean that to be disparaging towards either Orb or FSOL--
just that Orb is more "fun," whereas FSOL is more "serious.")

Oh, but the samples used by FSOL are a real goldmine--
ESPECIALLY for those of us freaks who really pine for
the "good ol' days" of electronic music--the days of
Synergy, Tomita, early Vangelis, etc--FSOL has sampled
'em all....  (They sampled a shitload of Tomita's Bermuda
Triangle....)

Speaking of Tomita--does anyone out there actually HAVE
that on cd?  AFAIK, it's available only as a Japanese import,
but I'm not about to shell out $30+ for it...I can't even
afford to buy domestic cds at the moment...I'm looking for
it through a trade, if anyone has it....

FSOL, incidentally, is EXCELLENT music to read the works
of H.P. Lovecraft by...it's an eerie, other-worldly sound....  :-)

Later!

Vince

Subject: (orb) Talking about videos...

There's a videotape PAL version of the Dancing In the street chapter :
Planet Rock.
It was made by the BBC Video and features the Lx interview we talked about
recently.
Directed by Don Letts, 1996
BBCV 5899 (that's for you, Laz...)
I bought my copy at a bargains sale recently.

As I recall, The cities the Orb wasn't on the Lollapalooza roster they
played  at local venues relatively close to the Lolla dates. At least
that was the case in Chicago. We had Tricky, but no orbital, prodigy,
dr. octagon.
  As for The Orb, they played the Metro, originally scheduled for the
Riviera (which holds 4x as many people). It felt WAY overcrowded and
was the hottest show Ive ever attended. At least Sun Electric opened
for them.

it was from a series called 'Dancing In The Street'.

lx featured in the last episode, called 'Planet Rock' - all about the
elctro/dance scene from the early 1980s onwards.

it was a co-production between the BBC, US tv (and maybe Australia tv too?).

They also play one of the Ozric Tentacles tracks - I think it's one off
Jurassic Shift...

('Ostrich Testacles, who are they', I hear you all cry.)

And they always play one of the Fluke tracks off their latest album,
the name of which eludes me at the moment, during the lunchtime 'phone

Subject: (orb) album

Hi all,

I haven't been around to get any of the Orb list messages, so I
sincerely apologize for this stupid and late question, but
what's going on with the Orb's new album and their record label
situation?  I heard something somewhere about a bog problem.
Also, could someone please enlighten me on what is FFWD, like
what is it and what do they have to do with the Orb?  I have
a copy of one song, "Collosus", but I have no idea what the story
is behind it.  Thanks.
Also, this is a little off the Orb topic, but does anyone on
here have any Orbital videos on tape?  I'm lookinf for some.
I saw one once a long time ago and I'm trying to find it, and all
of their videos.  The one I saw (only a second of it) had a guy
coming out of a kitchen sink...
Can anyone help?
Sorry for the dumb quesiions....

- -Nick

I am sure everyone has noticed this already, but that is a sure clue,

the album).

Good stuff!

Subject: (orb) a message/question from Smiley...

mornin' all.

i have a question to ask you all.

from time to time, i've bought/sold/traded and found records for people on this
list. pretty damn good at it too, imho.

anyway, i lost my job this morning, which mean TWO things:

i. i may dissappear for a while (in a month or so, unless i sort out an ISP at
home), and

ii. i need to find a new job/career quick sharp.


this brings me to my question - DO YOU THINK I SHOULD MAYBE DO MY RECORD
FINDING THING AS A BUSINESS?

i can provide a record-finding service for people, and maybe make a small
commission on what i find....

i can get new releases and send them abroad for less than it would cost to buy
them as imports...

and so on.

what i need to do is see if there's enough interest out there to persuade me to
make the jump, and go it alone, rather than looking for a 'proper' job.

please mail me privately, but only if you REALLY are interested.

thanks.

                          Skidoo here,
                   This isn't my auction, but I just wanted to let the Orb/KLF
fans that this record is really cool.  It's not just a promo only thing.  I
have one of these that isn't a promo, but..........This 12 inch has two Moody
Boys mixes that are engineered by the Mad Professor himself.  It's hard to
find the Moody Boys selection for 3 AM.  If you don't have that, then this 12
inch is the closest you are going to get.  Remember it's the Moody Boys
remixing The KLF with the Mad Professor engineering.  Lot o' reverb!!!  How
can you not want it?
   Skidoo 'out'
