Hello! I'm greg. After all this time, this song is still most excellent! I must say that i love so many things about it. That harmonica adds a fun little area. I love the fact it is a longer track. Makes it good driving and traveling music! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lovely track. I love UFOrb, great album, and the 40 odd minute loing version of The Blue Room... Ambient Dub, ladies and gentlemen, very nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that we are the only people on the board that like UFOrb |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
UFOrb is amazing, but I think their best 'dub' track is Slug Dub by far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, such a great album. My fav has to be Blue Room, with Jah Wobble on the bass :D is that him on towers of dub as well? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I listened to the Blue Room version last week(!). Very nice indeed. Sadly I fell off the Orb-train right after Orbvs Terrarvm, didn't think Mr Paterson was at high game anymore. But material previous to that is awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I fell off at that point too. I wasn't keen on Toxicity or Orblivion after that, and then that delayed album was a bit ropey and out of touch, though I liked the Jimmy Cauty remix of "Once More" (which didn't appear on either of the singles, only some ghastly Tom Middleton lumbering mix) but... well we've all moved on, I guess, but The Orb are legends and eternal respect to Dr Alex. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait... there is a 40 minute version of blue room? I am not 100% knowledgable of all their material. What release is this on? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll answer that, if you don't mind :) It's on the Blue Room from 92. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favourite is orbus terrarum. orblivion is my second favourite. next comes uforb, then ultraworld, live 93, auntie aubrey 1+2, pomme fritz, cydonia, and finally bicycles + tricycles. i don't really like b+t but i really like 'from a distance' on the european release.. even though it's a cheese fest. cydonia and b+t are definitely not that great though. let's hope lx either returns to form, or doesn't release anything more. *queues towers of dub on mp3 player* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent! I will be going after this. I am very interested to hear a super long version of this! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm so old and rank I can recall The Orb playing chess as they "performed" Blue Room on Top of the Pops. It got to number 8 in the pop charts, those were the days... *dribbles nostalgically then goes off to find slippers and lunch of mashed up banana* |

|
the jimmy cauty remix is on my single |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Has it? Oh fucking hell, I wanted that on original. You must have a promo version, maybe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it just took me 5 minutes to find it, i have 2 copies. what i presume to be the legit 12": bedrock mix (i must admit to having a soft spot for bedrock, i love all that progressive trance), radio edit & danny tenaglia's mix and a grey copy (if my memory serves me correctly 1 of 3 12" promos?): album verson, scourge of the earth & mark pritchard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i shouldnt think it would cost you much to get one, as you said further up, orbus terrarum was where i got off the orb train, pomme fritz was a joke, & terrarum was mediocre at best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had a signed copy of uforb on 12". Oh well i guess i will never find that again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ohhh, maybe it's only on the 12", I was crying about the CDs. And I said Middleton when I meant Pritchard. I tell you now, I'm going to stop talking about things of which I have only the scantest recall of the facts. I liked all the Scourge of the Earth mixes Jimmy Cauty did around that time, though i missed his Marilyn Manson and Motorhead ones. |

and placebo :) |

|
|
any lfc fans should track down adam freeland's tsunami one remix and andrea parker's O.T.P. mix. awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahh, UFOrb is a lovely album. And i really like Pomme Fritz, although i think i'm the only person in the world who does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i consider orbus terrarum superior and more technical...but UForb and adventures beyond ultraworld still masterpieces! i also love aubrey's remix compilations i have both and they are wonderful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and assassin and little fluffly couds are masterpieces too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

you're the second person in the world. |

Bicycles & Tricycles has its moments I thought. |

Tidying up a bit... Hello! I'm greg. Actually: "Hello, I'm Rags." - Spoken by the mechanical dog in the Woody Allen film "Sleeper". Dubbed and reverbed all to hell, of course. ;) I think that we are the only people on the board that like UFOrb Sir, you offend me! My fav has to be Blue Room,with Jah Wobble on the bass :D is that him on towers of dub as well? Yup. Marney Pax on harmonica. Intro by Victor Lewis-Smith. I wasn't keen on Toxicity Toxygene. I prefer the Ganja Kru remix, myself. wait... there is a 40 minute version of blue room? Yes and not hard to find. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did kris needs do a remix of toxgene? or was it asylum? anyway, it's another crazy remix any orb fans need to hear |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Both! -Toxygene (Kris Needs Up for a Fortnight Mix) 7.17 -Asylum (Kris and Dave's You Are Evil (But I Like You) Mix) 10.37 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Cool! thanks for clearing that up. I listened to it multiple times before i posted this and was stuck between greg and creig. I need to clean out my ears. *gets q-tips_ :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like I said, it's dubbed all to hell and back. I thought it was "Hi, I'm black." for a while until a fellow Orb member cleared things up...referring to the "Black gentleman" Hailie Salasie that Marcus Garvey was calling for... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who IS that doing that prank call? is it victor lewis-smith? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sounds like clive anderson but clearly isn't |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who IS that doing that prank call? is it victor lewis-smith? Yup. Can't remember off-hand the album name that was sampled..."Tests of Human Irritancy" or something like that... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha! it IS victor lewis-smith then. i think it's called 'tested on humans for irritancy'. him & chris morris are arch supposedly arch enemies and have accused each other of stealing each others ideas; more likely it's a myth dreamt up by the media. personally i think theyre quite different, but both extremely funny. time to point out there are torrent files of tv offal on uknova but will appeal more to people in the UK. comedy gold. |

The 40 min. Blue Room was on a second disc of UFOrb (at least in the states). I owned it for at least a month before I even realized there was a second disc lurking behind the main one. It was like christmas- couple remixes of Fluffy clouds and the Blue Room mix! Ten years ago for fuck's sake... My favorite 'orb' is a set Patterson did at the Beta Lounge in San Fran. I have an excellent rip of the DAT. |

in england the 40 min. blue room was released first with the outer box so you were forced the week after to buy the other cd single in order that they both fitted properly. if you were wondering about the ludicrous 39:58 time, it was deliberately made as just under the 40 minute mark so it would qualify as a single and chart respectively. since then the rules of what qualifies as a single have changed again so this will no doubt remain as the longest single ever for the rest of eternity. there's also a 12" with the 40 min version over 2 sides, a w/l promo i think. |

Brings to mind their work as the KLF and the super long remix of "Last train to Trance Central" on the White Room Ep. The train sample on that song is nuts... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not sure i know which ep you are referring to. not the album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was album length because of the long mix, but sold as an EP (again over here anyway) because it only had 4 or 5 songs. Ill see if I can root it out after work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you mean that crazy Vari-Speed version Tony Thorpe did? I bough the us version on vinyl solely because of that mix :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I believe that would be the one. An excellent track for waking up the neighbors. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the moody boys? still don';t know which mix you're on about. any change of finding it here for me please? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, but I found it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thankyou! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like 3am Eternal (Blue Danube Orbital Mix) Orb mix. That's pretty... well it's pretty. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
acid heaven by the moody boys is a big favourite of mine, don't think cauty had anything to do with it though. (b-sdie of acid rapping) a great cauty track i didn't even know was him up until a couple of years ago is "let jimi take over", a rather vague release on mr modo records, it may be listed as by STP or something. it's probably listed in that lazlo discography, he is the god of discogs after all. |

as if proof was needed... :) |

Ohhh, i love that track, yeah. I really liked the oxbow lakes cd single, but i'm always hearing that get slated as well. I think i've just got an odd liking for unpopular orb stuff. Apart from cydonia, which was obviously rubbish. That reminds me, did anyone hear any of that material that was floating round on early internal promos for cydonia? Apparently it was planned as a 2-disc set at one point but all the tracks had been changed or cut for the final release. I was always mildly curious as to what they sounded like. |

STP Twenty Three - I have that compilation Eternity Project One, with the very first Orb outing "Tripping on sunshine" on it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooooooh nice! the oxbow lakes single has some really nice interpretations, the orchestral version is bliss |
