CGI Joe, at your service.  I don't know of one offhand, but there might
be a Java one somewhere.  (However, I imagine that they want you to pay
for it.)  Otherwise, I could write one that interfaces with a bot
script.  Hey, maybe I could make my HTMLSpeak code useful...

The only problem is whether your web hosting service (WHS) allows IRC
clients.  I hope you checked about that.  I know that mine doesn't like
BitchX running.  Also, do you have access to a cron daemon, or root
access to your server?

Subject: Re: (orbital) live mp3's

Once again, my ftp site has been _very_ lonely lately, partly because I've been
having problems with it, but also because I haven't reminded anyone in a
while.  The address is apocrypha.res.wpi.net, and that should work.  User/pass
are now changed to 'orbital' (minus the quotes).  I have a crapload of Orbital
up, but I lost some of the nice bootlegs I had (Austin and V99).  Shannon,
don't worry, I didn't rip the cd you sent me = ).  I got the Worcester show,
but the quality isn't too great.  If anyone wants to share some with everyone
else, there's an upload folder in the main directory, and they'll get put into
the Orbital/Bootlegs&Remixes folder.  I hope I get some more traffic again.

Subject: (orbital) bose speakers the end

Bose is just okay for one thing, really.  That's for listening to DVDs and
LaserDiscs as a home theater set-up.  They're just satellite speakers with a
mid-sized woofer.  The woofer is powerful but it's muudy as well.  This is
all well and good for cranking up a good movie but for serious listening,
forget it.  There is no way to position these little things for setting up a
sweet spot, an equidistant listening area that I use for mixdown of
recordings.  I also consider that type of speaker placement ideal for serious
stereo image listening.  I only have two ears so I don't buy into this
surround-sound crap.  Its fine for theaters but all of my records and CDs
were mixed down for 2 eared listening.  So - that's my 2 cents.  Bose cannot
be considered as a "serious" choice.
P.S.  The Bose speakers were fine for listening to "Middle of Nowhere" while
I painted the living room last week, but I would hardly call that "serious"
listening...

Dudes, i can almost sense gazillions of immature annoying teenie
Leonardo DiCapitated fans joining this list and (even worse) getting
into Orbital!.. Don't get me wrong, i think it would be a good change
to the pop-shit they're usually conditioned with, but i could
definately do without shelley, 15 years from Chicago posting "Leo is
just so cuuuuuuuute! *huggies* *kisses* *whatever*" to the list or
the Harties (again! >:-) showing up in Top of the pops and Teenpop
magazines!...

Please.. If there's a god: don't let orbital go mainstream, and if it
has to be, don't let them go down in music history as Leonardo
DiCopulate 'side orders'!....

Truly worried and confused because of this move,

Hehehe...that's your choice, but like it or not, you have depth
perception with your ears.  You know the difference between a sound
behind you and a sound in front of you.  Trust me...surround-sound
sounds a whole lot better than stereo.

    Hey guys and gals, my name is Demmie and I've been an orbital fan
for nine years now.  I am originally from SanFrancisco, but I am currently
attending the University of Illinois.  Orbital is my favorite by far, and
it's exciting to know that there are other avid fans out there who
appreciate quality electronic music.  My orbital collection spans 34 CDs
and hopefully I can increase my stash. Also look forward to meeting the
rest of you.  Well, there's my introduction.   PEACE!!!

If you read the letter, Brendan, I mentioned that surround-sound was fine for
watching movies.  Believe me, I like to tweak my ears with any kind of device
that adds to the sensation of "being there".  I use an outboard device, a
Roland Dimension-D, as it's known, for a lot of mixes that I do.  That little
device seriously fucks with depth perception and its great fun to use.  P&P
have mixed down using a different kind of sound enhancement encoding called
B.A.S.E., that does virtually the same thing.  Pull out some remixes of "Are
We Here" or "Times Fly."  What I was getting at was that I, personally would
not use any surround-sound encoding for mixes of songs that would eventually
make it to CD or vinyl, beyond the minimal tweaking with the Dimension-D
(sadly no longer manufactured).  I've used a lot of 5-channel Dolby surround
for mix down of movie soundtracks our company has produced, and it seems to
be the standard for that kind of thing.
 This all leaves me with a vague sense of deja-vu.  I seem to remember
something in the seventies.........called "quad"........*gasp*

Oh, I thought you were ditching surround sound in general.  Personally,
I don't believe in encoding music for surround sound because everybody
has their different preference on how they hear music (esp. with the
differences between headphones and a full speaker system).  I like my
studio setting for techno and other instrumental music, and the sim
surround for vocal stuff.  (This is because the vocals get drowned out
in the studio setting, but the studio setting has a better "global"
effect otherwise.)

But, with movies, you actually want to hear sound effects in the right
places.  Those, IMO, should have surround encoding.

radiccio, lush, the kinetic CD with the Golden Girls Orbital mix, and a
few more...  I'll keep you posted.  (by the way, have 2 copies of the
halcyon single and willing to part with one for the right price. ;-)

Got 'The Beach' soundtrack today... Orbital's "Beached" is *very* good... Do
not worry, Leonardo's vocals don't appear too much in the song - hopefully
they'll be edited out once the single is released.

Overall, not a bad album at all - New Order, Leftfield, Underworld, Asian
Dub Foundation, UNKLE (with Richard Ashcroft of The Verve), Blur, Moby,
Faithless, and Dario G.

I shall be playing this over and over again, especially 'Beached'.

They still appear too long!.. and the simple fact that it's
Leonardo disgusts me!..
I agree that it has certain cool things, e.g. the phased lead is
great!.. But other than Leodorko it has a few cheesy eurotrash techno
things that i am certainly not used to from Orbital like the
'staccato-beats' at 2:20 and the lead also is *somehow* eurotrashy
though cool...

Subject: Re[2]: (orbital) Beached

Well, here's my opinion on Beached.

I like it. Leonardo is certainly very annoying, but it doesn't disgust
me too much. I just don't care. But just the fact of having his voice
over the song for so *long* is annoying.

Besides that, I really like the lead. It is definitely electronic, yet
you can see that Orbital made it sound "old", like a 40s accordion sorta
sound. I'm not sure, but it had that oldie feel anyway (like on some of
them old records). I doesn't sound plastic at all, nor does it have the
videogame feel (C64 square wave sorta feel). I think this is rather tough
to achieve.

The actual melody sounds in certain parts like, again, a 40s music piece
of sorts. I have a hard time describing this. At any rate, at one point,
the lead melody touches the cheesy side when it especially sounds "old
style" like that.

But it's ok. It's an interesting, good sounding piece with zero
eurotrash in it. I don't hear any eurotrash influences at all. All I
hear is IDM plus old 40s records influences.

Marc Sawaya said the song sounded like videogame music. I don't agree
with that either, because not only the sound doesn't cut it to be
classified as "videogame music", but also the melody doesn't approach
the typical cheesiness of your average console game music tune.

In other words, I like it. It's something different, but I like it.


Just my personal opinion,

unfortunately, you're right. met one at the concert, boyfriend wasn't even
dancing with her, bastard. i mean, if you're going to bring your lady to a
concert that she's into, dance with her! even if you're not into the music,
as long as you're sharing that experience with her, right? but at least
there's still the fact that those women are out there. laterz.

Hey,

I have a question for anyone in Seattle,  I'm assuming that their is an age
limit for the show at Club I-Spy, so I am wondering how strict they are with
ID checking?  I am in Vancouver, and this is the closest show, if only they
were playing Vancouver.  Also, directions to get there would be wicked.
thanx for any help.
