Hmmm...flat and boring?  I think not.  Stipe doesn't have the greatest
range but he gets up there a bit and is just generally a good singer.  As
for all their songs sounding the same, why don't you try listening to more
than 1 or 2 of the singles before you make statements that make you
sound
like an idiot.

well, your opinion is fine. must you start using terms like "you sound like

released their first album and i did not like them back then, nor do i like
them now. relax.

Subject: (orbital) New Live Date Added / Other info - Auntie Track Name

All,

New date added to the UK Tour.

16th March - Leeds Town and Country

Also...the album is definatly titled "The Middle of Nowhere" and will be
released on February 8th 1999 (99%).

There is one other confirmed titled track at the moment, which is Alison
Goldfrapps vocal "Nothing Left"

Also...the rock track that is the unusual track of the album was totally
redone the last few weeks. Ive not heard the new version...but a source
(hehe) states that its 400 percent more edible :)

Thats all for now

I find it very hard to believe that anyone could say that songs back from
81 sound anything like ANY of the recent stuff.  I think you're not
listening if you think so.  There's been an undeniable progression in their
style since then.  You can dislike REM all you want, I don't care, but I
honestly don't think that you can reasonably say that all their songs sound
the same.

>relax.

No thanks.  Besides, you said "oh no. i am going to get alot of backlash
for this"...well you were right.  =]

On a more interesting note:  To whoever recommended gemm.com...you are the
bomb...that site has a LOT of CDs that I've been looking for!  They have
tongs of Orbital imports, etc...anyone that hasn't checked it out yet
definitely should.

Subject: (orbital) Any comments on Style?

Hi all,

I didn't get a chance to listen to the remix competition on Sunday (no net
access @ home on weekends) and I read that the new Orbital release was
played.

Does anyone have any comments on it?  I've heard the stylophone samples
and I'm quite interested in what Orbital could do with it!

I think the stylophone is used in a remix of Moby's "Go" if I'm not
mistaken (Rainforest mix?  don't have the cd handy).

Shaun

I'm not trying to "win" anything.  I was making a joke...if you read what I
said..."(I'm sorry, I don't mean to be QUITE that much of an asshole, but
that one was too easy)."  I.E. I was not seriously saying that my opinion
of you is that you are an idiot.  I really don't care if I change your
opinion or anyone else's...I think your opinion that REM's songs all sound
the same is unusually outlandish, so I am commenting on that fact.

>i am honest: they do sound the same to me.
>so according to you i am an idiot...so be it.

Well, I must say that it sounds as though you have listened to more than
the recent singles, so you do have some basis for what you are talking
about, so I retract my idiot statement.  If you had made that statement
without any knowledge of REM's long career, I would say you were an idiot
or at least ignorant, but since you can actually compare the old stuff to
the new stuff I would have to say that your opinion is valid.  Although I
still see no basis for it...but whatever.

>but anyone who also mentions
>the "counting crows" and "live" as influential bands has got to be kidding.

I never said that at all.  I said "quality" bands not "influential".  While
I might argue that Live is influential (mostly because of the lyrics) I
would not argue the same for Counting crows.  I would say that both are
quality bands however.

Subject: (orbital) Orbital discs - gemm.com

2 Questions (at last I have something non-stipe related to talk about)

On gemm.com under the orbital stuff they have one disc called "2+PEEL
SESSIONS"...i.e. Orbital 2 plus another disc of the "peel sessions".  I
already have Orbital 2, but is it worth getting for the bonus disc?  How
good is the second disc (if anyone has it)?  The other one I wanted to ask
about is the Orbital "Untitled" one...it says it's a Japanese import.  Does
anyone know what this is?

Also, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who recomended DJ Krush when
I asked for recs for people that were similar to DJ Shadow.  I got his
album "Krush"...it's really good...very acid-jazzy.  In case anyone wanted
anything else like Shadow, I'd recomend this album
"earthrise.shadow.3"...very good comp.

Well I might as well add my two penn'orth (as they say up north, I'm
reliably informed...): I don't like REM, never have, and I've never really
listened to them much, except one of my mates listened to them non-stop a
couple of years back and made them one of my most hated bands. But what
does my opinion matter? I've never bothered to listen, so I'm as uninformed
as yer average indie fuckwit who says all techno sounds the same.

Well I've got the Peel Session CD and it's great, but half of it's on
Diversions, which is probably better value. But then that sample about
nuclear something or other on Attached makes it better than the album
version. Of course if you're a "real fan", you'll buy it anyway ;-)

But let's face it, 'Lost and Found' is better than anything I've ever heard
by Krush (though he's pretty damn good). In fact, 'Lost and Found' is the
greatest hip-hop related track I've ever heard, and anyone who disagrees is
either "an idiot" or has heard something I haven't.

Yeah I'd like to know too. I tried listening but couldn't get enough
bandwidth :-(

Don't remember it on that mix, but my Dad used to have one, so I know what
the thing sounds like. As far as 'Go' goes, the original Woodtick mix is
the one (a true rave classic for those of you old enough to remember), and
the Jam and Spoon mix a close second.

Subject: (orbital) REM ?? I still thought this was the ORBITAL list

To Doris and other people that got the point...
(ps thanks for the comments Doris, I find them
quite funny and I agree with you)

I guess I am still misinformed about this list
cause I'd like to hear a little more about P&P
than Stipe and Co. thank you..

And now for the orbital question

P&P sure like to use Allison Goldfrapp...
I'm curious if anyone knows her background
eg. if she was in any other groups..
P&P should make her the third member or something
unique vocal styling etc..
I also dug the sampled Kirsty Hawkshaw vocal stuff
to (Halcyon, +on +on etc..)

thanks all

Jim J.

I appreciate when people admit that they don't necessarily have all the
facts to support their opinion.  I take opinions like that a lot more
seriously than when people pretend to know what they're talking about...not
that anyone here has done that.  Anyways, the Stipe thing has been played
out to death...

I guess you might say I am a "real fan" as I have not one but two copies of
Insides (the Halcyon Live one and the 30min box one)...so I'll probably get
it even though there's a lot of it on Diversions.

Never heard of it!  I can't believe it could be better than Shadow, but
anything's possible.

ALL,

Sundays Orbital Remix playlist is on the NEWS page of Loopz but ive also
stuck it in this email for those who dont want to visit the webpage (boo
hoo! ;)   ).

A lot of people have asked how they know how many hours behind or ahead
of GMT. If you have windows 95 or 98 then just double click on the time
display (bottom right) and select TIME ZONE. Your time zone will be
displayed with GMT - or + whatever.

Remember the broadcast will start at approx 1600hrs GMT with some
mixture of tracks then the remix competition enteries. Probably last at
least 2 hours. So come along...there are only about 70 connections
allowed - so if u cant attach then retry a bit later.

Thats all...hope to see some of u in channel #orbital on the UNDERNET
again :)

Is it Orbital or is he mixing them up with the Orb?

Hope someone can help!!

It IS by Shadow, and the b-side is by Krush.

Subject: (orbital) Harmless Prank, Anyone?

Hey you guys (and gals), I was taking a shower a couple nights ago when
a very interesting idea hit me. It's funny how the best ideas always
come in the shower... er, but anyway, what I figured was to pull a
little blitz on the All-Music Guide.

For those of you who don't know, the All-Music Guide is probably the
single best-selling compendium of artists and albums in the US. It's
also my dad's Music Bible for looking up information about his gloopy
oldies tunes. We've got a couple of these big-ass books here at home,
and even though they're back from like 93, they still tip the hat to
Orbital, the Orb, Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, Global Communication, Black
Dog, and the like. So on their website (http://www.allmusic.com) they've
got even more info about techno, but not enough about bootlegs. I figure
that if they have a listing for bootlegs it might as well be filled, but
I turned in a couple bootleg entries to the AMG staff with no response.

The point I'm gradually coming to is, what do you people think about
trying to get one of Loopz' bootlegs immortalized in this gargantuan
book? This would definitely be the way to put the man in the books of
history, if you get my drift. I was thinking specifically of anyone on
this list who wants Loopz to get his piece in the amg should go there
and fill out an "Add Information" form for the Past/Live disc or some
other of Loopz' venerable bootlegs. If enough people go to nag them
about one or two bootlegs we'll get 'em to stick an entry under Orbital.
Who knows with some luck it may even make the print edition!!

So whoever wants in on this little prank, write the list and we'll see
how many people jump on board here. If we get enough this plan may work,
like that Gap riot we were planning (did it work anyway?) Thanx if u
want to join!

Subject: (orbital) Re:Faithless

   Because I have also been curious about Faithless for several years and love
what I have heard from them, I went to see them In Washington D.C. on
Wednesday.  They were amazing!  Although "God is a D.J." is very similar to
"Insomnia" both tunes are very good...but not completely representative of
their sound.  They consist of a group of almost solo artists (a folk
guitarist, two keyboardists, two drummers, etc.), but they mold their sounds
togther.  Sometimes dance, sometimes ambient, sometimes country music, or just
rock...there's nothing quite like them.  For that I respect them and recommend
their albums (which I'm picking up very soon.)
    P.S. A newer group called Esthero opened the show...a lovely eclectic mix
of a dj, trumpet player, two drummers, (an amazing) keyboardist, and one
vocalist that sounds like bjork and a rapper that appears for a couple of
songs.  It's really relieving to see bands like Esthero and Faithless who
create their own sounds and styles by using actual talent! (especially in the
U.S. where I still can't believe that people actually listen to things like
Bush and Matchbox 20).
take it easy.         Brian call me Dave

Although I'll be happy to point out that Esthero are from Toronto, not
the US.  I know that wasn't really what you were saying but I still want
credit for my country ;)  Aside from Richie Hawtin I can't really think
of any other Canadian talent that would get metioned on this list (FLA,
but there a little hard for this list), not that we only discuss related
bands here anyway ;)

Actually, Esthero's from up here in Toronto. The singer, Esthero, left he=

small town Ontario home when she was sixteen and headed for Toronto..
Eventually she hooked up with a producer, Doc, who had moved to Toronto f=
rom
Minneapolis. They worked well together, and well... here we are.
I love their album, it's amazing.. although like nobody around here has
really heard of them.. Heaven Sent got some play on MuchMusic and the loc=
al
alternative station.. but that was a while ago.. but go out and grab the
album if you can, it's called Breath From Another.. it's amazing..
I'll shut up now..
later.

I've never seen a single Orbital video on Mtv ever, I realize in US the
programming is, well, mindless to say the least.  Is there any specific
times that I should be watching, or am i just S.O.L.?  Also, are there
any internet sites I could look up to get the Orbital CDs my yankee self
just can't find?  Oh well, thats enough for now...


Thanx for your Time and Space...

Subject: (orbital) faithless in boston (+ esthero)

'ello there orbitalland.  I just returned from an excellent performance by
Faithless.  They played a good mix of songs from Reverence and the new album.
The addition of many live musicians creates a different and more complex sound
than the albums... impressive.  I don't think they have any U.S. dates left...
they're on to Europe now.  Definitely see them if y'all get a chance.
Unfortunately, Esthero wasn't able to play the show in Boston.  And strangely
enough, Faithless wasn't the headliner.  Asian Dub Foundation was headlining.
I suppose that was a good thing though....
While getting down to Asian Dub Foundation, I just happened to look back over
my right shoulder... and I noticed that Maxi Jazz was standing right next to
me...!!  Battle stations. A little switch inside my brain marked "silly fan
mode" suddenly flipped into the "ON" position.  I spent the rest of ADF's
performance completely ignoring the music and planning exactly what I was
going to say to Mr. Jazz. Fortunately I had enough time to plan... and when
the music was over, I managed to chat with Maxi for a while without sounding
like too much of a silly fan.  And yes, I walked away with an autograph that
says For Aaron:
Peace Brother!
     -Maxi Jazz
Ok.  Perhaps a bit of sillyfan-ness was in effect.
and dammit.. I forgot to bring a copy of my CD!  Arrrrrrg.  Oh well...
sillyfan combined with sillyselfpromoter might have been a bit too much for
Mr. Jazz to bear.  :)

Sunday night (or monday morning, depending on your point of view)
at 1 or 2 AM is when AMP comes on. The last couple times I watched
it they didn't show any Orbital stuff, but I know they have in the past.
I don't think there is any chance of catching them in the regular
rotation so this is your only chance.

as for internet sites, try :
www.musicblvd.com
www.cdnow.com
www.xmission.com/~ear
www.imvs.co.uk  (that might not be the right hostname)
www.gemm.com
