Me too =) I was right at the front to the left a bit with Jon & Chris...
When they came back and did SATAN... neat huh? Well I'm going back in a few
hours (sunday @ 7pm) for the second one =).

And I just want to remind all those people in the US that there isn't a US
tour. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!

Are you sure?  Enigma rips off so much that I wouldn't be surprised if it
weren't somebody else's song.

For example, I heard a lot of Peter Gabriel's music ripped off on an Enigma
album (my girlfriend owned it), and I swear he played an entire Banco de Gaia
song and called it his own - there was only a little bit of stuff added on
top.

Henry -

Check out Action Records (http://www.action-records.co.uk/).  I ordered
Style CD1 and CD2, as well as Underworld's Push Upstairs CD1 and CD2.
The whole order arrived in eight days and came to 13UKP, which works out
to about $5.50 per disc including shipping.  It would be tough to beat
that at any local CD store, provided you could even find the singles.

Me too. At least I won't have to manouvre a bloody huge poster home this
time.

Oh yeah - Plaid were pretty good too. i wasn't right into all their stuff -
more the kind of stuff I prefer to listen to than dance to, but very good
for tapping the old toes to.

Good question. Any chance of a Loopz special CD-R in the near future of one
of the gigs? Preferably a Brixton one (cos I'll've been there) but I'm not
that fussy...

Subject: (orbital) Get Style/ Radiohead/ Aphex Twin/ and much more

Hey all.
  I myself (living in the U.S.) went on a quest looking for the style cds
unsuccessfully.  But thanks to a previous list member's recommendation I also
used Action Records and received them in about five days!  I found it cheaper
to order from over there then to buy from a company that makes its money
selling imports.  So if you're having trouble getting the goods...go to:
http://www.action-records.co.uk/

  I also picked up the Radiohead "Meeting People is Easy" video which has been
once again delayed for U.S. release for another several months.
Unfortunately, I forgot that the U.S. is the only place in the world that uses
NTSC, not the PAL format that the video comes in.  Luckily, I found a few
shops that have equipment to convert the format into NTSC on another blank
tape for about 15 bucks.

  Now then, Aphex Twin.  This one has been itching the back of my neck for a
few months, but I never mentioned it.  I went to see Aphex Twin in my lovely
Washington, D.C. last year.  The show was opened by Death in Vegas and the
Sneaker Pimps of all people!?  Anyway, Mr. James appeared at about 1 a.m. and
immediately hopped on the couch on the back of the stage, and every once in a
while would take a drink of water and click something on the small laptop
computer on a table in front of him.  The music was, of course, great, but
nobody was quite sure how much of it he was making live.  Unfortunately, the
vibe of the crowd was not amused.  I was hoping for a happening dance show,
but a local radio station had built the show up as a Sneaker Pimps show, so
the people there just stood in place and stared.  Does anyone have any idea
what he does regarding playing live at a show?  Does he choose when samples
begin, or edit waveforms, or play solitaire?!  (The dancing bear-things made
up for it a little, anyways).

  Since I have not had the pleasure of seeing the brothers Orbital play live,
how do they differ in their technique.  From what I've read, they're obviously
more happenin'.

  Is anyone going to see the Underworld show in D.C. next month?

  No more "fightin' words," please.  We're all brothers and sisters here.
Uh oh, I think the Corona is starting to talk.
Take care, Brian

No doubt about it. Fucking A 1 class. They played style like half way

Hi all... There's a voice sample at 2:43 of Windowlicker (on the CD
version at least).... Can anyone understand what the voice says? I don't
know if it's only me, but I believe that it may be in french?? French is
my first language so it may just be my brain playing tricks with what I
hear... If it's really what I hear, it's the most absurd thing to put in
a song, even AFX.... And if it's really in english and I'm making this
up, then I'm probably good for the lunatic asylum :)
