    Damn, I listened to this album when it first came out and didn't
like it at all. Guess it's time for another listen. Thanks for the
info.

    I just picked up the new Irresistible Force CD "It's Tomorrow
Already", and I'm thinking it's going to turn out to be one of the
choices of the year... Really laid back (think "It's time to lie down
and be counted"), jazzy, just a little bit funky, and, as always,
beautiful sounds. He really knows how to get the _good_ sounds out of
the equipment, ala orbital and spacetime continuum. I can't decide
whether i'm drifting underwater or floating through space.

>Loopz wrote>Not a remix...its a Orbital co-written track IMHO

>Jon wrote>I thought it was a collaboration which was then remixed by Paul and
Phil.
>Then again, who knows best? Steve or me?

M.Hazel who was the original Pied Piper artist wrote Kinetic. It
featured on an EP called THE PIED PIPER "Hooked on Hope Ep"...the track
being "Kinetic (Love and Pride Mix)". Paul and Phil knew M.Hazel from
their early days a few miles from Sevenoaks. They decided to remix the
track with M.Hazel also lending a hand in the track. I say "remix" but
its more of a complete reworking. It is this reason that they decided
that it should be released under a different name. 3 people involved ...
Hence...The Golden Girls.

The re-re-release that we saw a few weeks back produced 2 12 inches -
one has The Golden Girls ... ie Orbital/ M.Hazel reworking. The other
tracks appear to be remixes of this track

Orbital never knew that this was being re-re-released...and are slightly
pissed off about it as its an old track.

Hope that clears things up...and i hope i got the story correct (it was
a while back when i heard this)

Subject: (orbital) hiya

I'm new on the list. I've kinda just discovered orbital on the net tho I'm
the proud owner of In Sides, sniv, diversions, #1 and #2. + a few singles.
now for my newbie type qs! Where the hell can I find more orbital CDs? I
flushed out HMV on oxford street (both), and tower + other places and I
still can't find halcyon or any more CDs than I have. I'll own up to having
1 orbital mp3 on my HD, times fly fast. *but* I want to get more CDs!

Halcyon + on + on is my absolute fave, and I don't actually dislike any of
the tracks at all, hence me pumping theme out at rediculous volume all hours
:)

Thought: I was listening to some classical music, bach etc and was surprised
by how much it reminded me of orbital stuff... Maybe orbital is todays
version. That sounds a bit off the wall I know...

hi there,
   as a kraftwerk fan, i think their 'trans-europe express'is a must
buy. it's kraftwerk's most classic album, and many of my techno freak
friends and myself think it's the album for kraftwerk dummies(ahem,
excuse me).
    if you like that one, try 'Radio Activitiy' too. very very minimal
german techno. good luck.

Which ones are you still after? I saw a couple of the Satan live CDs (the
blue one and the red one, I think) in HMV on Oxford St, on the end of the
new releases shelves for =A32.99 each I think. Haven't seen any others
recently. I wouldn't mind another Radiccio myself as my old one's rotting.=

Many have said the same thing. I know bugger all about classical music, so
I couldn't really say. Orbital is certainly more than just bang-bang
dancefloor techno, which would put it up with classical. And it certainly
deserves to stand the test of time, like classical has.

Jon

>Thanks a lot.

Although not a really big fan of that band, I must say the fan'o'meter
got a boost after seeing their concert at a music festival in Denmark
this summer. I knew of some songs from before, so if you want a lot of
the hits, go for "The Mix" album which has all the great, Eurobeat
classics. "Die Mensch-Maschine" is also a good album, possibly similar
to the recommendation given of "Radioactivity" as it seems a bit minimal
too, but has a lot of good songs, "Robots" and "The Model" at least. The
latter is not on the "The Mix" album so that's the only disadvantage
about that album, but it's got "Pocket Calculator" and "Radioactivity"
which are both great.

...especially if you've experienced "Pocket Calculator" as an encore at
a Kraftwerk concert. ;)

hope it helps

seems you're in the UK, so try finding a music store chain called
Avalanche Records, I know there's a branch in London even. They've got
loads of good stuff, not only Orbital, but at least often some of the
older releases.

Subject: (orbital) Orbital (in general)

I'm quite new to this list, and I am enthralled to see that there are
still people who love Orbital active in the world.  I was afraid I was
too late.  I was introduced to techno by my friend a couple of years
ago, and first heard/saw Orbital on an American show on MTV called Amp.
This was the Box, which is now my most favourite song (ever).  I bought
In Sides (the American, 2 CD version), immediately, and recently bought
the Green CD (American Version).  I am in love with techno because ever
since I was a little kid, all I would do is come up with strange beats
and melodies and tap them out on my desk, or whatever.  I would like to
know what I am missing here in the States, and also if anyone on the
list lives here.
    Also, I am interested in mixing things on my own?  How does one go
about starting something like that, and how much money does it take.
Nothing big, just the cheapest stuff money can buy.  Thanks you guys.

The name of the band that I believe you are speaking of is a band called
Smoke City.  They have a hit out right now called Underwater Love.  The
album is only available on UK import but will be available in the US
sometime in the next few months or so.  The Underwater Love single is
available in the US and has mixes by Aphrodite.
