Yeah, the first one is the same but not with The Saint. So better IMHO.

Which ones? I rather like my 'Orbital at night' one from a gig a few years
back.

Why's the Satan not playable? Do you mean it doesn't work or don't you like
the music?

I think it was a limited edition, but there was nothing on there I hadn't
got, so I didn't get it.

Not like the music! :) NO the CDs all scratched!

Talking of gigs, is there a site that lists possible upcoming orbital stuff?
The last thing I read (months ago) was a new album was on way... course I
only have the CDs so if I've got it all wrong...

The nearest thing in terms of sound and production is 'The Mix',
which is virtually a 'Greatest Hits Reworked' package.

If you want the classics, there's are 4 LPs which every fan of
electronic music should have;

Autobahn : More primitive sounding than later efforts, but an utterly
hypnotic and atmospheric piece of electronica. Ground-breaking to the
Nth degree.

Trans-Europe Express : The crystallisation of the poppier, less
overtly experimental sound of the late 70s. This is the *all-time
classic* electronic LP. It's happy, weird and stark in different
places, and predates the birth of modern electronic dance music by
almost 10 years!

The Man Machine : Kraftwerk developed the idea of robotic sounds, and
the LP is more mechanical in parts, but any album that has the pop
classic 'The Model' and the unspeakably lush beauty of 'Neon Lights'
is going to be a classic, isn't it?

Computerworld : This is the point where the Kraftwerk sound became
less futuristic and more contemporary - but only because people were
starting to catch up with them! Brilliant melodies and sounds - most
of which have been sampled to death by less worthy bands and artists.
Electronic pop heaven.

These are the LPs I'd recommend to a new fan, but 'The Mix' is
probably the best introduction to someone who hasn't really heard
them before. 'Ralf Anf Florian', 'Radio-Activity' and the earlier
stuff are more experimental, but contain some excellent stuff.
'Electric Cafe' contained a lot of good material but didn't do
anything new. If you can get hold of either the William Orbit remix
of the 'Mix'-era 'Radioactivity' single and the 12" of 'Tour De
France' (which never appeared on any LP) these are also fine pieces
of the Kraftwerk legacy to own...

Just my humble twopenn'orth...

WITH REFERENCE TO THE THOUGHT ABOUT ORBITAL BEING MODERN DAY CLASSICAL:

Though that this is a perfectly valid thought, but I personally feel that
artists like Aphex Twin (with reference to his ambient stuff like SAWvII)
is more suited maybe to this label.  Conclusion drawn more on the premise
that it contains to repetitive beats.  Classical tends not to contain the
repetitive beats, our if they do they tend to be not really that high time
beat.

    There's definitely truth to that. I guess I was thinking more along
the lines of the way they use individual parts within songs. For
instance, the structure of a song like 'Out There Somewhere', the way
it builds, adding some parts and removing others, only to more or
less come back full circle by the end. I don't really think the tempo
itself is all that big a factor. Their stuff is for the most part
based on a relatively simple pattern, but they explore that pattern
to its fullest, which I think shares a lot with some styles of
'classical' music, that is, to take a basic idea or 'theme' and
explore it as fully as possible within a single piece (song).

Subject: (orbital) kraftwerk

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Kraftwerk album 'Computer
World'.  Personally, I think it is their third best album (right behind
'Radio Activity' and 'Trans-Europe Express'), but in my mind it's the
one that most sounds like Orbital's music.  You really can't beat Pocket
Calculator (my fav 'pop' song at the moment).

Computer World is the best early to mid 80's album (1981) I own.  I'm
sure CDNow.com or UBL.com has sound clips from all or most of
Kraftwerk's material so you can decide for yourself.

Back to lurking ...

I don't know if i posted to list, but I am in Japan for the next six months.
This place is so awesome, except no one speaks english and right now, I speak
no japanese. I live with 97 other people -and no english talking at all. But
what is so awesome is the selections in the techno departments. Techno is so
popular here. I didn't want to buy to much on my first day, but i found the
Japanese version of Radiccio (all japanese writing. It is awesome. Plus I
found a japanese version of Chm Bros new Cd. IT is in a cardboard case , not a
jewel case. And I got an underworld - Second toughest in the infants that is
japanese - and it is 2CD. I never saw that. Anyway, it is costing me 4 bucks
everytime I connect to AOL and I think plus the hour too. Anyway, Later.

Hey all,

    Remember the LP I was boasting about last week?  Well now you too can
partake in the listening pleasure!  I've just finished converting the
entire LP (excluding the original version of Chime) to Real Audio format.
I know It's not the best.....but maybe the crapier sound quality will
encourage you to actually purchase an original copy (if you can find it).

Enjoy!

http://www.jorsm.com/~digger/orbital/lp

The Lp includes:
Crime
Chime (Joey Beltram/Program 2 Mix)
Open Mind
Open Mind (Funky Alternatives Mix)
