Subject: (orbital) PVD Sighting

Any Paul Van Dyk fans on the list? If so I'd like some advice on his new
limited 3CD set Vorsprung Dyk Technik. I spotted a copy at my local Wall
today and almost died, mostly because of the price (don't ask). Can any
PVD fans say with certainty if a fan of his Seven Ways album (the only
disc I have) would enjoy Vorsprung Dyk Technik? I keep thinking that
when I go there next it'll be... you know :) So any advice is much
appeciated. later

Anyone else have an opinion?  I'm undecided if I should buy or not, as
it seemed to be a bit like a compilation...

its according to the size of your current orb collection...  its a great
starter kit but most of the tracks are seven inch mixes or radio edits...
the second disc in the limited two cd set has quite a bit of tasty stuff
but avid orb collectors had at least 75% of the material before getting it...

so there, ambivalence at its worse...  get it if you need an introduction
and also get it if you are a completist...  in between those two extremes,
use your own judgement...

man its tough to type when slightly intoxicated...

Subject: Re: (orbital) PVD Sighting

Yeah, I'm a really big PVD fan, take it from me, the collection is worth
it...some of the mixes are hard to find, and some haven't been released at
all. The Flaming June extended mix is worth the price alone, it's over 11
minutes long. PVD mixed all the tracks together except the last disc, it's
all pretty impressive. I'm not quite sure why he released this
collection--earlier this year he released that Perspective collection which
primarily contained the same mixes but they were unmixed. I prefer remix
albums unmixed, but PVD aways does a good job so you won't be disappointed.
Definitely listen to the 15 minute Curve remix, the vocals were chopped
ouit of the mix that made it out commercially. This mix is much better and
the dina carroll mix is great, only available on a white label. Tht white
label is worth hunting down too...

Anyway, hope that helps!

Jon

    Hmm, other than a couple of the new remixes and the Little fluffy clouds
that was recorded at the show I went to, I wasn't all that terribly
impressed by it. It sorta felt wrong. I remember alex paterson complaining
about having to release edited versions of the song back in the day, and I
agree. I applaud them re-releasing some of the older, rarer stuff, but I
can do without a 3 minute version of  'a huge ever growing pulsating
brain'. I'm also pissed because they chopped 2-3 minutes off the beginning
of that 'little fluffy clouds'. It started out as a mishmash of lfc, brain,
and into the fourth dimension, layered on top of each other, along with the
x-rated version of 'my favorite things', then little fluffy clouds just
sort of drifted out of the mess. It was one of the coolest concert moments
(even above halcyon live the first time) I've ever experienced, and the
just sorta lopped it off. Oh well, bottom line is, It's an Orb album, so
I'm sitting here listening to it anyway.. :)

Subject: (orbital) Top Ten Results

Hello, all.

For those interested, the results of the Top 10 thread of the last couple
of weeks can be found on my website.  Follow the path in my sig file and
look for the Orbital Top 10 link.  A few surprises...

If you're web-impaired but would like to see the results, e-mail me
privately.

Also available is a similar Top 10 from the Orb list. Many similarities,
but no mention of the Spice Girls over there...

Thanks,
Rich

Subject: (orbital) OT: FatBoySlim

Hola to all my fellow Orbital fans,

    First of all I would like to wish everyone (here in the US at least) a
belated HAPPY THANKS GIVING!  Secondly...after spending LOTS (too much in
fact) time with the family over this joyous holiday occasion I was filled
with all kinds of concert info.  Over 80% of this information is pure
bullshit because...well...everyone in my family is a bunch of habitual
liars and would do anything to raise my hopes and then dash them.  First I
heard that Paul & Phil were gonna make their way over here to the US and do
a big GIG in Chicago.  Well I knew off that bat that it was false...cause
hey...if it were true I'd already know and have tickets.  Then I heard all
kinds of other BS.  The one thing I heard that wqas halfway true I need
more information on.  My cousin told me that Fat Boy Slim was gonna make an
appearance at a club somewhere in Chicago on Dec. 13th.  My favor to ask
from you guys...if you know ANY more about this show please let me know.
As of now I have no clue.  I don't know what club, exact date, anything.
All I know is that it's an all ages show.

    I know FBS has undergone lots of "mud slinging" on this list (I know I
deleted close to 75 messages containing the words "Off Topic - Fat Boy
Slim") but I do like a few of his songs and owuld like to see him
live...just to see how talented he really is...and that it's not all studio
work.

Ok it's late..I need to go to bed.

Love you all!


Thanks,
    Digger

Subject: (orbital) Question: Fat Boy Slim

Hola yet again!

    By now you have all recieved a copy of my mail requesting information on
the FBS live gig.  Well thank you Shaun Rader!!  He sent me the Ticket
Master info.  I've called the House of Blues and it's very possible that
I'll get press credentials for the show.  That translates into...I get to
meet/interview FBS.  This brings me to my conclusion: Does anyone have any
questions for Mr. Slim that they'd like answered?  If so send e-mail to
[e-mail] (thats my school e-mail address).

Thanks guys!

From: "Trym Asserson" <[e-mail]>
Subject: (orbital) Review / ambient Nordheim Transformed Ltd.

I just had this double album fall through my mailbox this very morning
and already by listening to it, I can't help but feel impressed at this
Norwegian artist's efforts all that time back in the late 1960s, early
1970s. I am talking about the Norwegian electroacoustic artist Arne
Nordheim and his first cd "Electric" which is exactly one of the most
essential milestones in the relatively short history of Norwegian
electroacoustic music. This cd has now been remixed/"transformed" by
Biosphere and Deathprod, two of Norway's leading electronica artists at
the moment, and the result is the same old, good ambient as produced by
Biosphere before. I've not heard any other albums by Deathprod, but his
success in Norway is still unquestionable.

"Nordheim transformed" has seven tracks, evenly distributed between the
two artists for remixing and is mostly driven by absent-minded tunes,
sounds of winds, storms, dark, low hertz underlying basses, natural
elements, etc. accompanied at suitable moments by the sound of a myriad
of ringing bells, occasional bleeps or radio signals and it's all in
style with the other works of Biosphere.

On the "Electric" cd of this double album (the original from 1974 by
Arne Nordheim himself) the following tracks appear :

1 solitaire
2 pace
3 warszawa
4 polypoly
5 colorazione

On the "Nordheim transformed" cd of the album (the transformed mixes by
Biosphere and Deathprod) the following tracks appear :

1 trasparenza ("colorazione" transformed by Biosphere)
2 journey to the centre of the first 1.1 ("warszawa" transformed by
Deathprod)
3 katedra botaniki ("pace" transformed by Biosphere)
4 warp/warble ("polypoly" transformed by Deathprod)
5 les fleurs du mal ("solitaire" transformed by Biosphere)
6 twin decks ("polypoly" transformed by Deathprod)
7 journey to the centre of the first 1.2 ("colorazione" transformed by
Deathprod)

The album is an excellent choice to add to your ambient collection, and
does not require much listening to mark the stand of two of Norway's
finest electronica artists in the ambient genre.

If you come across it, do not hesitate to buy it...

Regards,

Trym

Is this the "new math" I've been hearing about, or is it unique to
Norway ;)
