Re: Any Orb fans?
 

"Earth (Gaia)" is one of my favorite tunes.

Re: Any Orb fans?
 

All of The Adventures are great, so is U.F.Orb. After that, I dunno, their music didn't grab me as much as their first two did. I like some tracks on Cydonia though.

Haven't checked their recent minimal stuff out, might have to do that. As I said I do own the track "Masterblaster", got that by accident, but wow, one of the best tracks ever. seriously. So simple, subtle, but so good.

Re: Any Orb fans?
 

their second peel sessions with their cover of "no fun" by the stooges is the best thing ever.

Re: Any Orb fans?
 

what?

I've never heard of that! Although - the only Peel Sessions disc I've been able to find was the one with "A Huge...", "Back side of the Moon (Tranquility Lunar Orbit)" and "Into the Forth Dimension (Essenes in Starlight)"

is "no fun" like done as a proper cover? or is it more like a remix

(edit)
and I also got a chance to see them on their last tour (w/ the dj set - performance - dj set deal) and it was great... totally a lot of fun, which is something that doesn't seem to happen at shows anymore... only time I've ever had everyone around me be so chill, and yet so responsive to faster / harder tracks

Re: Any Orb fans?
 

Loving all of their older stuff, I haven't been into the Orb since Orblivion as it seemed after that they were coasting on whatever vapors were left in the inspiration tank.

On the other hand Thomas Fehlmann's work has been sublime and I much enjoyed his patterson corralling in "Okie Dokie! It's the Orb on Kompact!"

Re: Any Orb fans?
 

proper cover version.

tracklistings:

01 : oobe
02 : no fun
03 : montagne d'or
04 : valley

picked it up at a market or something a few years ago. highly recommended release. live drums and bass on all tracks (apart from oobe i think...)

Does anyone have the "Masterblaster" track?

Re: Any Orb fans?
 

You beat me to it.. :) The links are as follows:
Pt.1 - Orb retrospective (90 mins)
Pt.2 - Interview with The Orb
Pt.3 - Blue Room (40 minute mix)
Pt.4 - The Orb Live (pt. 1)
Pt.5 - The Orb Live (pt. 2)

All in nice 128 Kbps quality as well.

Re: Any Orb fans?
 

listening to the retrospective part now....the dj guy chooses these tracks pretty damn well so far...perpetual dawn and montagne d'or are two of my fave orb tracks....

hope he plays some ffwd stuff...or the orb's remix of 3am eternal...

(and i'm uploading the 2nd peel sessions and the 12" with the full version of masterblaster now, just for your good people....:D)
