Subject: (orbital) top ten and Kein Trink Wasser

Okay, I'll jump on the top 10 bandwagon...first time I've done this in
four years.  I'm at work an doing these titles by memory.  This might
not seem like a big deal, but I've got over 1000 albums so it becomes
hard to memorize them after a while.

In no particular order and trying not to double up on one artist:
1)  Squarepusher - (1st track on Big Loada, I think it's...) Journey to
Reedham (7am mix)
2)  Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy
3)  The Prodigy - Wind It Up (Rewind mix)
4)  Orbital - Kein Trink Wasser
5)  System 7 - Interstate
6)  Moby - That's When I Reach for My Revolver (the Rollo and Sister
Bliss mix)
7)  Nine Inch Nails - Perfect Drug (Meat Beat Manifesto mix)
8)  808 State - Pacific (after all these years, this is still a great
song)
9)  DJ Shadow - Home Base
10)  Towa Tei - Sound Museum (ooh the horns man)


Now, on to Kein Trink Wasser.  As you can see, that is my favorite
Orbital song.  Why?  Because of the beauty and complexity.  It may seem
like chopsticks to the average person, but try to follow the fast piano
bit on the piano yourself.  The song has really great layering and each
piano line compliments the other, there is no sound that overrides
another.  The song, even though it is built around repetition, never
becomes stagnant or boring.  You've got your slower piano then fast
piano then string-synth.  Then you get silence for a split second and
the bassline then drums and synth-percussion.  And then the gloriously
taylored sounds of the first part come in again, just when you want them
to.  P&P give you plenty of the bass and beats first then pull in the
piano again.  Sure it is the same piano bit, but since it was so
brilliantly crafted to begin with, why would I mind if it is used
later?  Notice how the beats, bass, and percussion also compliment the
piano so very well and how nothing becomes muddled.  This song is
exactly what it's title implies, for me.  Listen to it very loud in a
car (or home) with exceptional bass and you will go utterly,
exstatically, mental.

Subject: (orbital) help me out here

hey someone give me a hand. get ready for bunches o' questions:

    i've been hearing a lot of stuff that's new to me, but im not
where to start with buying them.  i have a computer game with music by
Eat Static.  what cd's, if any, are good by them?  Keoki.  Im not sure
about him.  the song i have by him on a comp. cd is good, but im not sure
about the rest.  Next question:  I really like Underworld, and, i don't
know if im hallucinating, but i swear that there is a Born Slippy EP.  If
there is, is it good? Is Second Toughest of the Infants good too?  Final
question (sorry about all o' these): I was looking to order the Times Fly
cd from a cd store.  they didn't have it, but in the process of looking,
I swear that i saw a cd titled Orbital + w/bonus.  For some reason, this
store lists Orbital 2 (you know, the brown album) as Orbital +, so
Orbital + w/bonus can be translated as Orbital 2 w/bonus.  So if I'm not
hallucinating again, and this cd actually exists, what songs are on the
bonus?  Anyway, Im sorry about all these questions, but im still new to
this stuff, so hook me up with some good info.

Khow,
    Brandon

If I'm not completely mistaken, I think that this bonus cd/Orbital 2 is the TRU CD version where you have the normal Orbital 2 on one disc and the John Peel Sessions on the other disc (the one with

Lush (Euro-tunnel disaster '94)
Walk about
Semi-detached
Attached

.) So it's worth getting for the nice layout on the two discs themselves, but the songs aren't rare though. just two readily available releases in one go. :)

at least, i think it is that one.

    I see you have 'Digital Empire'.. :) If you don't them I'm even more
impressed. I almost put the original version of hipgnosis on my list.
If you like that song, you should check out the full albums from
Electric Skychurch and Cirrus. Cirrus has sort of been touted as the
american Prodigy. That's not really accurate, but it's a pretty cool
album. Very melodic breakbeat stuff.. Electric Skychurch I could go
on about for quite awhile (since they're sorta vaguely friends of
mine). Their first album "Knowoneness" was mostly ambient, but their
latest ep (which is still almost 2 years old) Together is much more
upbeat. Breakbeat Science has it in their 'breakbeat house' section,
and that's a pretty good description. Wonderful, uplifting dance
music. (live show not to be missed)

Sorry, I kinda prattled on there. Oh, well.

    I'm not sure if I'd go quite that far. It's good stuff, but nowhere
near Orbital. (at least i don't think so). It's not terribly complex
music, and all the rhythm stuff is very simple. It is good music,
just not quite in the same category. You should be able to get the
Platipus compilation in the US for about $20, and it's 2 CD's.

    This disc is pretty good considering the songs on it and the fact

Welcome to the list Doug,

It IS happening...slowly as it seems. But i can tell you that they are
making real good progress after a difficult start. Hopefully i will get
an update on the latest progress. There are a couple of things that i
can (and will) say about the new album...but i need to check its ok to
say it (i dont want to upset them...).
Meanwhile the news page on Loopz has some info on the new album so have
a read of that.

Schematix is Phil Holmburg who is a mate of Paul and Phil (more Paul
though). Phil sent me some of his releases under "Schematix" and his
psyd "Schizoid Man" after a few drinks with him and Paul (and a couple
of others). He comes across very reserved and quite quiet (even after a
drink - unbelievable!). Anyway....You can hear a few samples of
unreleased and released stuff on the Loopz site. There is a link on the
Discrepancies EP page and Contridictions EP Page to a online store that
stocks the said EPs. Worth buying...i know a few people on the list who
also got the releases and praised him for his work.
And he may tour soon......

G'day,

Various odds n sods:

> album(North) remixed by Sasha and Digweed. Rounds out that CD nicely, and
> if you enjoy it I reccomend it as a purchase.

I think there's also another Banco de Gaia track on "Northern Exposure 1"
called "Heliopolis" from Banco's first CD "Maya" (but I could be wrong).

Also worth tracking down is the 3CD version of "Last Train To Lhasa", but
that is kinda rare these days. I haven't scored a copy yet :-(

Banco de Gaia (or Toby Marks to his mum) isn't quite up there in the Orbital
stakes in my book (some of the ethnic samples get layed on a bit too thickly
for my tastes), but is still worth a listen. The last album has a track with
sax solo however, so be warned - it is very Pink Floyd (and it just so
happens that the sax player is none other than PF's sax player)

> anyone know where I can pick up Union Jack's full CD "Armageddon"?   I've
> been hearing cool things about them.. Orbital-esque.. any one

Union Jack are more melodic trance than Orbital-esque. "Two Full Moons And A
Trout" is a good track, but I found that the album "Armegeddon" was a bit
too same-y. Not enough variety between the tracks.

"Northern Exposure 2" was released here in Oz as a 2CD as well. Same with
"Northern Exposure 1", which I haven't seen in a while actually. Initially
came out as a double digipak, but now it's just the usual slimline 2CD jewel
case.

On Northern Exposure 2 - first CD:

Hmmmm...I thought that this disc kinda lost it in the middle, but that last
track (Hybrid - "Symphony") is quite excellent - anyone know more about this
track or the person(s) behind it?

However the second disc of "Northern Exposure 2" is a great mix - you get
yer Speedy J & Sven Vath, etc. Although, the first track is listed as Cygnus
X - "Orange Theme" - and it isn't the same as the copies of that track I
have from various Eye-Q compilations...is it some unknown remix or did Sasha
& Digweed list it incorrectly?

On top 10 tracks:

> System 7 "Alpha Wave" (Plastikman mix)

this is an amazing mix - best thing Hawtin has ever done, IMHO. Hunt it down
if you can - it's worth it. 19 mins of acid bliss.

The only Salt Tank I have is an EP called "Eugena" (or something like that).
Basically a remix of a Tori Amos song ("Me and a Gun"). Not that impressive,
but I'm sure they've done better stuff.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hey-

**
Now, on to Kein Trink Wasser.  As you can see, that is my favorite Orbital song.  Why?  Because of the beauty and complexity.  It may seem like chopsticks to the average person, but try to follow the fast piano
bit on the piano yourself.  The song has really great layering and each piano line compliments the other, there is no sound that overrides another.
**

Mmm.. I love it too. Yesterday after choir and band pictures were taken I was sitting in the music room with Erica and she was playing the piano. So anyway.. I started playing CDs, and I played kein trink wasser.. and she's never heard it before.. and she fuckin starts playing along.. it was soooo cool.

Well I listened to a few realaudio (ie bad bad quality) samples from the
last train album, on cdnow, and I wasn't actually enthralled by what I
heard... It sounded too much "ethnic" and not enough "techno" for my
tastes. I will get Big Men Cry however and see then if I want to try any
of their other stuff.

Anyways.

Big Men Cry (the song) has been part of my sonic environment like 90% of the
time in the last 36 hours. I am in love with that song, have made an mp3
of it and I've had my computer cycle it with vietmx21, silverside, further
and yulquen by autechre... It's just great.

BTW, whoever put vietmx21 in his top10... Good choice. That song stands
out from all the autechre songs and is totally unique and deep. It is to
Autechre what Attached is to Orbital, in what is only my very humble and
personnal opinion. That song means a lot to me. It is so deeply sad and
final...

Hi,

A couple of years back I went to the South London Music Festival in Carshalton,
surrey and Orbital were headlining. Does anyone know if there are any
recordings/boots of that concert as I'd like to get hold of one.

Thanks,
Tim

Ps Please reply to me as oppose to the list

I know its piano is repetitive, but I'm more of an "Oxbow Lakes" (Orb)
kind of person.  It sorta sounds like the melody of spoken word -- i.e.
it sounds like someone talking.  Granted it doesn't have much piano, but
what it does have is *different* from what most people like to play.. I
couldn't see someone get all hyper if they heard someone else playing
oxbow, but it's cool nontheless!

Heck, try to play them both at once! Pay close attention to the way the
quiet ending of oxbow starts blending with wasser.. weird, but cool!

*shrug* I dunno! :)

    Hence the name banco de gaia (world bank). His first album (Maya) is
definitely more techno-y by far than any of the others. By the way,
anyone with a turntable, try listening to 'Drunk as a Monk' at 45. I
think it's actually better that way...

Have you heard or do you have the Oxbow Lakes Single?  I haven't played
that one in a while, but its really cool.  There's a hard kick-drum mix
an ambient mix and a string orchestra version.  I think its well worth
picking up.  Plus I love the cover of that one :-)  Thanks for bringing
that one back to memory.  Now I'll have that piano melody in my head
until I get home from work.

Regards,
Jeff Fanno

Oh God I forgot that! Awesome track. Their 'Sterilization' is great too:

Amen to that! The best hardcore tune ever. No questions.
Unity's "Unity (Piano City mix)" (another great FSOL remix) and Edge #1
"Compnded" as well

I'm enjoying all this old school business!

All I've got from them is 'Interceptor' and it's got a demo for a game

you're talking about. Excellent breakbeat techno/drum and bass.

Is it good? IS IT GOOD??? Oh yes. The first track is much better than the
vocal one.

Yes, very good.

Subject: (orbital) very off topic... (Perfect Day by various)

Apologies if this small request annoys anyone...
I got a hold of the version of Lou Reed's Perfect Day that is sung line by
line by different people, and even though it is very off topic I was
wondering if anyone had a list of the different people who contributed to
this song, hopefully in the order they sing. If not, can anyone let me know
where I might be able to find this info? You are all a very resourceful
sounding bunch, so I thought I would give it a shot.
Back to Orbital now....
Thanks!
Dan
P.S. Maybe the Hartnoll brothers are in there somewhere as well? Or maybe
there is a remix? nope, not going to make this on topic I dont think.
