Presumably he doesn't do all that many copies though...

Maybe. I loved the originals before I got the variations, and at first I preferred the variations, mostly becaused I'd listened the originals to death. I like 'em more or less equally now, and I prefer both of them to Consumed, btu I prefer Artifakts over even them.


>As for the Orbital content.... oops there was none :) sorry.

likewise. Sorry. This is becoming a habit...



cheers,
Jon

Subject: (orbital) Into the Mix 2

I have both into the mix 1 and 2. I think the second one is not as good as
the first, but the "free" disc is pretty cool if you're into pumping trance
type tracks. Also the spahn ranch remix of Gary Numan's "Cars" is pretty
sweet. it's an okay buy at best.

Subject: (orbital) couple of questions

Hi all:
Two questions.  First, what "style" of music does Roni Size's 'Reprazent'
come under?  Is it drum&bass (dont laugh at my lack of knowledge..i just
done know)?  I heard it and didn't like the album much at all.  Same with
Photek's 'Form & Function'.  Are they both in the same genre of music?
All this entails my first question.
Second, anyone care to compare the following albums to maybe Orbital.
Like if they are dancy, what kind of music it is.  Are they like Photek
or Roni Size?  I dont know, so, please help me.
808 State: Gorgeous
DJ Icey: Generate
Thanks a lot.

Roni Size makes THE drum & bass. Reprazent is not the name of the
album, though. That's the name of the group made of Roni Size,
Onallee,  DJ Die, DJ Suv and DJ Krust. The album you're refering to
is called "New Forms", and yes, it is drum & bass. There's also a
remixed  version of the album, called "Replica".

Photek also makes great drum & bass. Form & Function is the
perfect representation of his style... just listen to "Rings Around Saturn"
(the same track is called "Pharaoh" on Logical Progression 1),
and beside 'Consciousness' (featured on Platinum Breakz 1) it's
one of my favourite Photek tracks.

I'm gonna shut up on this one, because i havent heard exactly
those releases (i heard 'don solaris' by 808 and 'break to the dance'
by icey), but they're definitively not drum & bass and they hardly
compare to orbital.

808 state : Gorgeous is one of my favorite albums. In fact, last summer, 808
state released a best of and I think Gorgeous is much better than the best of.
I don't really like any of their other albums, but I think Gorgeous is great.
It is really technoy, and a bit cheesy, but not what you are thinking. Old
School techno is the best way to describe it for me at least. Nothing at all
like Roni Size or ORbital. And Roni Size's album New Forms, is under Drum and
bass. Later.

hmm me personally, I think their old Ex:El cd is much better than Gorgeous,
and I absolutely LOVE their last cd Don Solaris. But that doesn't mean I
think Gorgeous is bad, in fact I like it a lot too :) Their tracks are a
mix of instrumental tracks and tracks with lyrics, sung various guest
singers (including 2 icelandic singer ho ho ho ;) and could be described as
sort of oldskool techno, with mellow beats and just nice to groove to. lots
of funky synth lines etc. Don Solaris is probably the most the one which
has most production work on it, some of the tracks represent a few ideas
mixed into one bowl (shaken, not stirred). It took me a little time to get
used to it, but today, I can honestly say that the number of tracks I like
outnumbers the others bigtime (ie, 10-3 or so ;)
compared to orbital... well, don't, they ain't alike imo :) they got their
own style, which is just a good thing (we don't want them all to clone each
other, right? :)

    Okay, I've finally gotten a new e-mail account and am (hopefully) back for
a while. My question is, did the new single come out as planned (last week,
I think)? If not, when? I've been out of the loop the last month or so..
