Subject: (orbital) Orbital overhere ?!

I'm sendin' this to the list because it might be better than mailing Loopz
privately; The word is... Orbital are coming to Croatia some time in May.
I've heard this from two different people who don't know each other, so
if they're pulling my leg it has to be an awful coincidence. I know I never
heard anything about P&P coming to this parts of Europe, so I need to
know if there's been any talk about this 'in London'.
I have yet to get ahold of the supposed flyer for that gig, but until then
I'm asking if anyone knows anything about this.

On the other hand, they might just be _playing_ Orbital on that party...
(i'd go nevertheless)

I know it's by Ron Granier, called..would you believe 'Theme From Dr Who',
my only copy is on Coldcut's Journeys by DJ CD, which is mixed by PC and
Strictly who also did Warp's Blech compilation. (fact fans) I can do an MP3
but it's not the full version, about 3 mins of it, if nobody has one you
might be better off doing an MP3 search... http://mp3finder.ml.org/

Great tune btw ;-)

Don't you just hate it when somebody cut's and pastes something and then
just says "bugger", I know I do ! Good thing I didn't. Nice to know you are
still around Steve, and the web sites still there too. :-) Do you know if

How did you know I was a cheapskate ? Yeah, the beard in a balloon has

cashpoint ! I won't go on about this but I owe his company loads for the
year I *wasn't* on the net...my problem. It's free now though - but slow.
In the interests of fair competition heres a url which lists most of the

http://www.etheridge.freeserve.co.uk/freei/index.htm   (think it's still
there...)

One last thing, I've got the tape of Paul Hartnoll's mix on Radio 1 and,
it's wonderful. But ! No tracklisting....there are however these pages on
the BBC site...

http://www0.bbc.co.uk/radio1/newsroom/orbital.html   and also...
http://www0.bbc.co.uk/radio1/newsroom/990414_orbital.html

none of which have a tracklisting, good pages as they are..so....anybody
know ? I'm especially after the name of an old acid-house era record, that
uses the "I've seen the future" sample. Otherwise I'll have to "sing" it
down the record shop !  The only other alternative is to buy a whole
studio, drag it down there and just play the fuggin thing really
loud....(Which is what Orbital would do I reacon). Knowing me I'd press the
wrong button and out would pop Strings of Life or something...you know how
it is, so...any help with that much appreciated.

Cheers ! Bye for now...

There have been several 'official' versions of the Dr Who Theme. The
original 1963 Ron Grainer theme was re-recorded in the late seventies
but was pretty much the same as the original Radiophonic Workshop
theme. However, a more up-to-date sounding electronic version (far
inferior in my opinion) was aired in the early eighties until the
programme's eventual cancellation.

The original is still the best - but check out Dr Pablo & Dub
Syndicate's ambient dub reggae version (complete with melodica solo)
on the On-U Sound LP 'North Of The River Thames'. There was also a
dreadful disco version in about 1978 by a group(?) called Mankind.

Hang loose!

I have a copy of the Dr Who theme (the updated one - not the original
unfortunately) on a CD which I can MP3 and upload somewhere. I'll post

Perhaps someone in the UK can help me out a bit here... I recently got
two big-time MP3s of a Paul Oakenfold mix in Sydney, and apparently they
were broadcasted live on BBC Radio 1 as Esential Mixes. If anyone knows
more than I do, can someone enlighten me as to the tracklisting of them

Seeing as it's Pete Tong who is the presenter of the essential mixes, it
might be worth trying emailing him to ask - he might have a list. His email
address is probably something like [e-mail] but if you've got
any sense you won't trust my guess and you'll try the bbc's website -
www.bbc.co.uk is one of their many registered domain names.

If that was the same one as the one with all the "death row USA" samples
then I'd like to know what it was too. If it wasn't then I'd still like to
know what the "death row" one was. In fact I'd like a full tracklist. They
put up a list of what Ed Rush/Optical played on the Breezeblock the night
before, so why not Paul's mix???

>Knowing me I'd press the

you could do a lot worse than Stirings... though, couldn't you? One of the
all-time greats. Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

I'll be in that (considering how good the last one of your recommendations
was). Where are you thinking of?


And I'm now listening to the new Add N To (X) album - excellent -
especially the track with the horse on it.

Subject: (orbital) Dr Who Theme

I have uploaded the Dr. Who theme MP3 to this address for anyone who wants
to download it. It is the newer theme but not the really cacky one they did
for the later Dr. Who's with Colin Baker in.  This one is from the sort of
Tom Baker and Peter Davidson era. Ripped straight from CD, so the quality is
top notch.  I'll leave it on for a week or so and then remove it.

http://www.proweb.co.uk/~mellor1/doctor.mp3

Also, I have a (rather poor quality but listenable) MP3 of the original
theme to download at:

http://www.proweb.co.uk/~mellor1/drwho.mp3


I heard the Paul Hartnoll DJ Set on Radio 1's Marie-ann Hobbs show - a very
eclectic selection from Themes to early house tracks. Interesting to listen
to. He also played the full version of the John Cravens Newsround theme
tune - as featured on Spare Parts Express on TMON which added a touch of
humour to it!

Anyway, enjoy the MP3s

Richard

All,

Still dont know much about the venue. I found this on the web

http://www.whatson.com/wos/seating/queenelizebeth.shtml

but i couldnt see the bar :))))) <slightly worried>.

Those who are on about meeting up with other Orbital heads from the Loopz
and Xmission lists....find the bar. Meet by the entrance (just inside maybe)
- - i guess thats where it wont be as busy. If there is no
bar....jeez....shudder to think! - then meet at the merchandise. I cant
organise meetups with the brothers im afraid.

I will be at the venue in the afternoon but i think the doors could open at
7pm. So....see u in the bar after that :)

From: "Trym Asserson" <[e-mail]>
Subject: Re: (orbital) post-Easter oral diarrhea (pardon the spelling)

All and anyone,

back after a long Easter break and a big addendum to my collection...

it started off well just before Easter with the red sleeve promo of
Style and the cardboard promo of Times Fly.

then, coming back to Norway, all the fun started for real...

a new guy in d'n'b, DJ Teebee, from Bergen in Norway has just jumped
onto the scene and as DJ mag said (although I'm a bit worried about
all they say and take it with a pinch of salt, after all they
criticised Bigpipe Style down the drains..) Teebee looks set to remain
on the platform he's made for himself. Some 12" releases Droids and
Coming of Shadows (yeah, the guy is heavily influenced by Babylon 5,
but not in his style) and his newly released album (along with
colleague in music-making, K (Kjetil Dale)) Black Science has so far
been accepted with good acclaim by Norwegian critics. Now it remains
to be seen what the UK critics will say and then what his leg in US
will have to say about this music. It's dark, it's atmospheric and
it's got some nice futuristic effects (maybe a bit spacy, laser
effect). All in all, a very good album and as one who's never been
much into d'n'b, this one certainly opened my horizon for getting some
more. Even my forgot single of Watching Windows by Roni Size has now
been played a bit more.

Does anyone else find Aphex Twin's Windowlicker video remotely
disgusting? creepy to say the least, cracking track though... :)

If any of you read the magazine The Face btw, don't believe everything
they say. I've heard they ranked a club (Skansen) in Oslo as the
world's second best club at the moment and although such rankings
usually mean diddly to me, I'd like to point out that although the
resident djs keep dropping highly danceable deep house tracks and
never for a moment let you off to catch your breath, the club is too
small and cramped really to deserve such a ranking. The atmosphere
there is great though, and if you ever go to Oslo (which I really
think some of you should do if you like deep house, there's a bustling
market for it here at the moment and it's been that way the last
two-three years) then you should visit Skansen among other clubs.
Again, the DJ mag with the recent Orbital interview has an article on
all this stuff about clubbing in Oslo, so read it if your interest is
spurred by all my blagging (blabbering, maybe)... ;)

Anyway, d'n'b wasn't all I managed to do over the holidays,
Biosphere's stuff kept popping up wherever I went and I managed to
pick up the last Novelty Waves single with a remix by both LFO and by
Bobby Bird, both are very good and certainly according to their
reknowned style. Also, I got the japanese import of Best of Biosphere,
just a collection of his hits really, but I've been looking for it for
a long time. Just a little triumph I have to put in here.. ;)

Coming back to Edinburgh, I found a lot of stuff I ordered from Action
Records (lots of System 7 12"s and they're all pretty cool), as well
as the Borobudur single AJ got for me in Japan, thanks! :) I regret to
say that in all this chaos about you all getting MoN and stuff, I've
still not managed to get my finger out and buy it. I've got a choice
between having it on vinyl or cd, I wonder though, are any of the
tracks dj-friendly or good for mixing? opinions?

Also, I kept asking people for another d'n'b'ish track just before
Easter and somebody suggested Nalin & Kane's Beachball to me, but I've
now found it thanks to my flatmate. It was ETA's "Casualsub", and at
this moment my playlist is that single and the Black Science album.

Lastly, just to get a bit on to the topic of this mail's subject; this
Peel gig, is it the replacement gig for the Mass club gig which was
cancelled? or will that be held later?

i better shut my mouth now...
