Subject: (orb) Orb in Shanghai

The show in Shanghai was really great, LX and Thomas
tag-teaming on the turntables.

It is different here than probably anywhere else. If
there are any similarities to other lands, let me
know.

I got there at 9:00, and the place was full, but it
got fuller still. At 3:30, when the show ended, the
place was all but empty, maybe only 15 people. That's
not surprising, though, Chinese often start their day
at 7:00 or earlier.
Lx started off, probably around 11:30. Thomas stopped,
after being asked twice, at 3:30. I should say that
the Chinese are not particularly modern when it comes
to music. The dj's and songs that get played are
pretty run of the mill. So LX really shook up the
crowd by throwing on some inconsistent beats (for lack
of a better term), and drowning out the beat with
something completely different for a few seconds. It
was funny to watch almost everyone on the dance floor
just stop...in confusion. Of course myself and a few
others just kept on, knowing what was going on.
However, Thomas just completely floored the crowd a
little later, with just some crazy mixing. Thomas
seemed a bit frustrated with the board, but it sounded
good to me. Frankly, because of the way out stuff that
they play, it is hard to hear a mistake, unless it's a
comlete and utter one.

Several discos here have dancing girls on staff, who
go out and dance (if you can call it that, they are
clearly not hired for their dancing ability) on the
stage. They didn't come out right away, but later
there's Thomas with 4 girls on the stage. The crowds
here have a habit of making some sort of cheer, a
who-who-who sound, up and down, a minor 3d I think.
The girls began to elicit a call and response from the
crowd. The look on Thomas' face was...priceless. I
would guess 20% perturbed and 80% awestruck. One of
the girls had taught herself to do the cheer
backwards. She seemed quite thrilled at her ability.

As for the music, the beginning was kinda like
Orblivion mixed with Pomme Fritz, not the real thing,
but those styles. There was one part that sounded like
it might be a single, with a dusky female voice
singing a sample with the word music in it. Later,
they spun a lot of really fast stuff, meaning lots of
32nd and 64th notes. It was too busy for me, and the
crowd too, I think. At the end Thomas played about 1/2
hour of chill out stuff, which was nice, with a sample
of valley from Evil 39, i think. The only album cover
I saw was a sky blue one with a blurry, indistinct
yellow shape in the middle, kinda shaped like a cross.
Anyone?

In any case, when it was over, I asked Thomas and LX
to sign Evil 39 for me, it was the only one I had on
hand. Lx signed 'In Orb we trust Chinaaa LX' Thomas
signed, 'Thanks for coming Thomas Fehlmann'. I was so
tired I could barely think. I think I refered to Orbus
Terrum as Plateau, and couldn't remember Orblivion. I
mumbled some nonsense about how good the show was, and
handed over a small present for the road.

All in all, the show was great. It just makes me more
eager to get the new album, and compare its sound to
what I heard.
Andrew

Subject: (orb) Semisonic Orb remix : the JC Offer

Hello,
I will go to London for 3 days tomorrow. I will meet again our beloved Smiley !

As I will look around the record shops, I have an offer for Orb fanatics :
The new orb remix (although it is not done by Andy) is out since monday on
a CD Single from Semisonic.
I know I will catch it for 5 Dollars, so I can buy it for 5 fellow members
from the Orb list. (Joseph Hannah, you're the sixth one).

So if you're interested, just let me know by email VERY QUICKLY.

The first five Orb members who will send me an email will be concerned.


And the final price with the P&P will be 8 USD.

You've got 10 hours... :)`

I'll come back on monday and answer at this time at all of you.

Off Topic : Does anyone have the Luke Vibert + BJ Cole album ? It seems to
be good...

The soundtrack album Randall and Hopkirk (deceased) will probably have an
Orb track. (I already mentioned that before)
The release date is April 17 in UK (Island records).

Subject: (orb) Plateau (Andy's Dub) / Orbscure Trax, still fecked on Moondogg's OAA.  Ant Bryan's FTP?

To the Orb list,

I recently checked the copy of Plateau (Andy's Dub) on MoonDoggs FTP, and
it _still_ isn't fixed (pops and skips start at around 10:40, and get worse
from there).  PLEASE can someone upload a new copy, as there are just too
many clicks to "fix" in a wave editor, and I am unable to find Orbscure
anywhere else.

Also do we know what's up with A. Bryans' FTP?  I just can not access it.

Regards,

Chis
