SR4 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 i am back for a bit. i shall upload more stuff soon. relax, my fellow ambientistas. id still like to hear your take on why Alex Paterson gets all the credit for The Orb productions....I mean, ALL i ever hear with the exception of your threads is that he very rarely adds to the production at all, and I assume youve had some sort of close contact with the group and was wondering why hes the face of the project....i dunno.

Guest margaret thatcher Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 cos it's his group. it was him and cauty, and cauty left. then it was him and youth, then him and thrash and felhmann, then him and loads of people. but it's lx-p's group. all of the orb's output has had at least some creative input by him, e.g. he played the piano part on oxbow lakes, etc. another example - he chose all the samples for little fluffy clouds like the ricky lee-jones interview, the morricone sample, electric counterpoint, and so on. he gave them to thrash, and thrash changed electric counterpoint to 4/4 time and put everything in the right key. youth did the bass. so lx-p isn't the most technical person, but he's the ideas man.

mcbpete Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 he played the piano part on oxbow lakes, etc. That's actually my fave section of the whole album, I wish that part of the track progressed a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Space Coyote Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 it does when performed live. Any chance that if I wing you some money online you would purchase a harddrive, copy all your live Orb to it and mail it to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest margaret thatcher Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 nah, i'll just eventually get round to uploading everything to somewhere permanent. don't worry! i'd rather not start mailing hard drives around because it seems as if a lot of people want my stuff. p.s. your sig should say "screaming into the eye of the lens", i think.....karl hyde's lyrics are unintelligable anyway.... :laughing: i used to have a great recording of underworld live at sheffield octagon, 1994.....they open with a 20 min version of "thing in a book".....

I'm excited about this thread now. That KLF / Space album! Is the Underworld recording you're on about this one: UNDERWORLD live at The Octagon, Sheffield, UK (13-10-1994) 01 Thing In A Book 02 S.W.F.A.B.N.F.I. 03 Spoon Deep 04 Dark And Long 05 Air Towel 06 Juanita 07 FRONT 242 - Happiness (Underworld Remix) 08 Rez 09 Burts Jam 10 Puppies 11 Rowla 12 Born Slippy 13 Dark Train I had that too - the sound was dreadful though. Now I've lost it as well. I know what you're on about with Alex P and the Orb too - projects need a driving force to keep them together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest margaret thatcher Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 that glasto 93 set is really annoying me, because my recording doesn't have towers of dub on it. but cheers for finding it! mine goes: plateau majestic lfc blue room star 6 & 7 8 9 spanish castles valley assassin outlands huge ever growing thingy and it's from a full length video... i'll upload some shit in the next week, sorry i've been really busy lately. :) edit: just listened to it, and it's not towers of dub, it's valley. which makes sense.

Guest spike Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 http://inverarities.blog.co.uk/2008/07/05/...f-comm-4407530/ Finally, in 2006, the Orb released a Podcast through their website which featured not only the KLF's "Madrugada Eterna" with added Orb whistles and bells, but as track tantalisingly called "Space (1989 Unreleased Version)" which sure enough featured a fair chunk of the "Space" album, again with added Orb whistles and bells. Rumours than began to circulate that "Orbsessions Volume 2" was going to be a full release of that debut Drummond and Cauty album, as originally planned for KLF Communications, but sadly it has yet to appear. Maybe the Orb's twentieth anniversary (technically, probably due in only a few months time) may bring about a re-release (or even an internet link) of the original "Space" tapes! In the meantime, and to end this longest "brief" post in the history of blogs, here are those two tracks from the podcast: http://www.protectlinks.com/120027 ("Space (The Unreleased 1989 Mix)") http://www.protectlinks.com/120029 ("Madrugada Eterna" by the KLF - 2006 Orb Podcast mix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dougals Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 In case people are interested, just stumbled upon a site with a heap of the Thursday Teatime sets. Most of the ones on it I have not seen elsewhere. Orb Teatime Sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
