orbular news
(as taken from this month's clash magazine
- If Orbsessions Vol. 1 sells well (big demand), then 'Orbsessions Vol. 2' will be released, which Alex hopes will be the whole of the original Space album (with Orb samples left in), which he might go and rework some of the tracks with Jimmy Cauty. - Transit Kings album is on the horizon - no release date as yet. - MadOrb album is in progress (a planned dub set with Mad Professor) - New Orb album out in 2006 called "Dreamland" (a collaboration with Youth) - it's going to be an old-school Orb album all good news, methinks....don't expect the new orb album to be anything at all like "okie dokie..." though. also, in related klf news, bill drummond has undertaken a new project...."the 17"... http://www.penkiln-burn.com/jobs/job39.html "a project being peformed in Stockholm and then Newcastle reflects his passion for a move away from recorded music towards live and one off phenomena. This involves inviting people of all musical abilities to join a choir that will sing choral melodies composed by Drummond, leading on to performances at funerals, schools, prisons and weddings. This is all part of Drummond's challenge to our current state of interaction with music, ignited by his concern that all musical genres have an element of 'sameness'." so now you know!

Re: orbular news
sounds like a productive period... very cool
but a question about that line where you mentioned "okie dokie" ...was that album not received well? I actually only knew about it by a complete fluke, going on the kompact webpage & downloading it. About a week or so later, I saw it in a shop...there didn't seem to be any promotion for it whatsoever and when's the release date for orbsessions? |

Re: orbular news
Good that there are lots of side-projects, compilations and rare old tracks by the Orb. I really like them up through Orblivion, but haven't heard too much since then (keep meaning to pick up Cydonia, etc)...
So if the new record will be "old skool", i'm all for it! Thanks for the updates!

Re: orbular news
I'm also way behind in my Orb collection. Great to hear I'll be even further behind RSN.
