Oh God, another crustacean comes in to tell me that the Orb is really just
copying Brian Eno.  I know who Brian Eno is.  I do have several of his albums.
I also know about the Opal label and yes, I do know about Roxy Music.  I even
know about Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Carlos, and half a dozen other
synth monkeys that I can't dance to.

Note to the punk generation still stuck in 1983:  When we speak of "ambient"
here, we're generally talking about "ambient house".  This generally does have
a beat and Eno does not fall under it.  Unless of course, he's remixed by
Moby.

Why don't you just call it the "Fugazi: Ian Fails To Start a Trend" movement.
I was speaking of the Shamen's hypocrisy, not of their attempt to be
straight-edge.

Next time you decide to come out with an "older than thou" stance regarding
music, ask me a little about some of the shows I was going to *alone* ten
years ago.

PRODIGY I understand have recently released a single. It's flipside
(Rough in the Jungle Business?) was played on local campus radio (BFM,
Louder Than A Bomb) by representatives of the only dance only music
shop in Auckland (BASSLINE Records).

My question is this, what is the other side called? Its only on promo
here and will be commercially available in about two - three weeks....

Oh and one more thing, how can side A _POSSIBLY_ be better than the
flipside?!?!?!?!??! This piece is INCREDIBLE!

I gave up, I have loved every piece Prodigy have released, so I ordered
their album...!

True.  And check out "Get Dumb" and "Seduction" (by Seduction) side-by-
side.  At least Clivilles and Coles are honest about calling it a music

	There are two weekly techno alternatives (both are side projects

Organization: Department of Computer Science, University of Edinburgh

Hi folks!

It's good to know that there are fellow 808 fans out there. I'm not sure when
Gorgeous is coming out (Has anybody heard their remix of '1 in ten'?); there was
a supposed release date (2nd of November) but nothing happened and since then
I haven't got any good vibes.
	Has anybody heard the 3rd track on the cd single of oooops, namely
'808091' (live). I don't know if I want to shell out for this seeing as I already
have 2 of the 3 tracks on it.
	Still on the subject of 808, does anybody know the track names on the
first lp 'Newbuild'?

I saw Meat Beat Manifesto in Edinburgh last month and they're well worth seeing.
The use of samples and also live drums over some SERIOUS techno, along with
deliberate feedback and some good lyrics made this band unique; their set
is a coherent combination of a hell of a lot of different dance styles.

You get the same message on all the numbers, I think.  I called the

and they are the same, basically reading info off the flyer.  One
thing they mentioned on the message that they didn't mention on the
flyer: there will be EIGHT robo-scans there so if you are anywhere
near Cincinnati you've got to go if nothing else to hear Moby and
see the lights.  The info line said to call back next week for location

	Yeah! Good stuff on those. I borrowed them from friends a few
months back, and really liked 'em.

	Also, I was at a rave at Heaven, in Roch, NY on Hallowe'en, and I
was zoning on the bean-bag chairs down in the "chill out room" (Used to be
tbe Blue Room... I'm noticing a pattern...) and they're playing "Chill out"
but overlaying it with some beat-track that I didn't recognize. Something
nice & mellow. Meshed well, but was cool to hear the KLF I recognized with
the rhythm.

Look more closely for the term "ambient house." Ambient music still has
no beat. "Ambient house" is a cross between, well, ambient and house
music. If there are music publications calling the Orb ambient (as
opposed to ambient house), then they are in error, barring a few
tracks.

This is all academic anyway, but I (for one) would like to have an idea
what people are talking about when they use these terms. Using ambient
as a catch-all for any music that's trippy or slow only leads to con-
fusion.

Just my two bits.
