Eh.

[cwmbrancity]

unrelated, but had a semi-transcendental moment listening to Assassin (The Oasis of Rhythms Mix) during the last leg of a limb splintering hike earlier

 

thats a cosmic Orb sunday if ever there was

[Extralife]

Incredible track; vintage Weston (sadly unlike the vast majority of his released productions since).

 

Edit...not sure if it was mostly him or Keogh though

yeah rubin im not sure why you're even posting that. did you listen to that track? it was horrible. just noodling on a organ preset. he even admitted that it wasn't good and just for him. guy needs some therapy i think. sad, but there are casualties everywhere

[mcbpete]

Damn, looks like the track is now Patreon only - I was intrigued ...

[fumi]

This is what happens when you're an acid casualty from the 90s. That's Kris I'm talking about. Not Rubin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or maybe...

[mcbpete]

Is the music from the top intro video him as it actually sounds pretty good (but rather different from what I've heard Kris do):

I presume you can find him at 100mountains...

[Extralife]

Umm anyone know him well enough to talk him off the ledge? Worried about him:

 

 

Hi subscriber,

 

some cunt still mailed me after i asked not to, unbelievable, complete disrespect for me and my illness. what saddened me tho was this guy: chromatest@azburners.org who mailed to taunt me that the project and my music making career has ended. He claimed to speak for all my fans in saying that he didn't believe that I was in the Orb, or that i didn't do much in it or something. that bit didnt make sense but he was pretty Butthurt and quite rude. what kind of man hangs out on a mailing list of someone he doesnt like to wait for him to fuck up and then taunt him. Its true i didnt do much in the Orb apart from write the music, produce and engineer it, design the live shows, call all the shots etc.

 

he claimed i was holding back, refusing to write that music which was beneath me LOL! perhaps he doesnt understand the nature of music. music is expression you fucking yank retard cunt and i express myself very fucking well. in fact, i would go as far as to say, there arent many other people on the planet right now that are able to express their emotions in a way which is true to themselves and there arent any that can express them like me :) what i let other people hear is not everything i am about. its not important for other people to hear it. tonight i will delete it all. i have my own voice, something i am very proud of and something that nobody else even notices cos most people are deaf cunts.

 

i was going to kill myself anyway but i would like to extend thanks to our american friends at azburners.org for reminding me why i want to stab myself in the face. i had forgotten then for a second.

 

i turned this website back on just to call him a cunt. if any of you are bored and in arizona would you find this cocksucker and kick the shit out of him for me. shoot him if you want. now its going to be deleted again after which time i will die. good day to you all.

hmm it was sini in the orb this entire time!

[danshoebridge]

He's been off the rails for quite a while now hasn't he? Definitely comes off as mentally ill / obsessive / paranoid in most of his online rants.

Did his current patreon subscribers all lose their money? Not sure how these things work.

Not sure. I wasn’t a patreon subscriber of his, but was on the list because I had signed up for his last Pledge music project (which never came to fruition.

 

It’s all pretty sad, b/c he did have a bigger role in the orb than he gets credit for...and he is clearly suffering from mental illness.

Does anyone know of an archive of the old krisweston.com site?  Looks like it's been down for a while.
