sysex ep
plus8020

six tracks:
intro: buzzy analog synths going crazy, no beat or anything, just wacked
       out distorted noise
world domination:hardcore acidy track, way cool with the same grindy analog
                 used in 'intro'  ..  thumbs uP!
intruder: another kickin' hardcore track, a little more musical, with cool
          sounds.
our planet: ambient chiller, analog bass blips over etheral choirs. nice, but
            rather short.
unreal life: houseish techno, pretty good track.
mind buggin 909: completely sparse, just a 909 goin off! if you like this kinda
                 sparse techno sound, then it's great, otherwise it's kinda
                 boring

all in all i'd give it a thumbs up
and it's on green vinyl (at least in the u.s.)

You'll never guess what happened today in our fine city.  The police dept.
gave in and dropped the charge of aiding and abetting.  It's all gone.  But,
those minors that were present still have to pay the curfew fine.  I know
that a number of people are working with another attorney here in town as
far as civil suits go ... I think I'll be joining them.  It's one thing for
the cops to drop the whole thing but another to admit that what they did
violated our rights.  Wish us luck, folks.  Peace...

Organization: University of Washington


With the exception of the current domestic release (I find hard to justify
all those $$ just for one song) I have put together all of the Orb's
releases (both import and domestic). 

I like them very much.  Coolest stuff since early Wire.  My question now
is one that may have been answered recently but I'll pose it anyway.  That
is: "What are some other recommended artists to check out that are in some
way related to the Orb?"

I have the following problem: Most of the music that Orb fans recommend to
me sounds too dance & computer oriented.  Note, the Orb doesn't sound like
this to me...not at all. In fact, I always thought the Orb reminded me
more of early Soft Machine than anything I've heard currently.  

So does this make much sense ?  Music in the same vein as the Orb that
isn't part of some giant dance-explosion-party-in-the-sky ?

Guess I sound old...oh well.

Yea, hopefully it all will fall back underground and the riff-raff as you said
will disappear from the scene.  I don't really like the idea of legal raves
but it'll be the only thing in town for a while because of Grave.   8-(

Tonight we had our group meeting with Attorney Musante and he gave us the
straight poop on what we have waiting for us as far as the courts are
concerned.  He offered to represent each of us for $40 per person and
assured us that it's all so much malarchy(sp).  He quoted from either a
Wisconsin or a Milwaukee decision from 1971 that stated quite clearly that
guilt by association (I forget the exact terminology Mr. Musante used) is
*NOT* valid in this type of case.  I'm convinced that none of us who were
only hanging out and dancing will have to pay anything but the legal fee to
the lawyer.  I'm happy now and I *LOVE* my spiffy new Grave t-shirt.  If
anyone is interested in getting one let me know because Robin of ECS

To quote you:

I don't know what kind of source you have for this stuff, but no one
I know personally who has done acid has had this experience.  It takes
some bit of the next day to recover, but that time has not changed any.
None of them feel like they look like zombies--any more than any
person would after being up quite a bit longer than usual.

I think that XTC, being an amphetamine derivative, is a lot more likely to
fry your head than Acid.  But that's just my opinion too, since I don't
have any medical evidence to back me up.

a number
of live gigs from that album, for instance on Roskilde '91. (really a
smashing performance....) His next ORB album, U.F.Orb, was released this
summer, a more
dance-beat orientated album, the best cut was Blue Room, also released on
12" and another goodie, Towers Of Dub, earlier released on a limited
edition only. He's also released a collectors set of the Assassin 12"
featuring two 12" CD singles. Furthermore, be on the lookout for his
version of SENTINEL (By Mike Oldfield), by far (I think) beating it. It's
really ...Orbish.  You should however know, that Jimi Cauty, KLFer, was
working with the Orb in writing their first album, including the greatest
ever ORB cut: ---  A Huge ever growing pulsating Brain that rules from
the centr of the Ultraworld!  ---      

I hope I've been of some assistance to you, go out and buy all the Orb
stuff you can get!
