the orb - manchester, 1992/11/01

last date on the mission '92 tour. well, officially this wasn't on the tour flyer, but this was an extra date added to finish the tour off. during the after party to this gig, an ambient set was played by lx-p, and there were people wandering around with klf robes on....also there was a free bar!
anyway, here's another soundboard recording.

01 : o.o.b.e.
02 : spanish castles in space
03 : little fluffy clouds
04 : blue room
05 : towers of dub
06 : star 6 & 7 8 9
07 : assassin
08 : close encounters
09 : majestic

the orb - manchester, 1993/04/16

probably last one for tonight, doubtless more tomorrow.

(i've jumped to 1993 suddenly, as i want to mix things up a bit. i'll upload the other 1992 recordings at some other time, don't worry. i'm a completist so i'll be uploading every recording i have, regardless of quality or length...i'll make a note if the quality's a bit shite though.)

this one's a definite keeper. it contains the only known live recording of "hidden in heaven", which went on to become "orbert" and then "ffwd>>". "hidden in heaven" has been written about here, so here's the recording...

anyway, i digress, the whole recording is another excellent soundboard, so take a listen!

set list:

01 : hidden in heaven (cuts in, but you get a good 14 mins of it!)
02 : plateau
03 : a huge ever growing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the ultraworld
04 : majestic
05 : little fluffy clouds
06 : blue room
07 : valley (cut short...)

length: 01:04:13

notes: first known performances of orbus terrarum material - that album at this time was to be called "orbus tyrannus"...

the orb - leeds university, 1992/10/14

this is the best 1992 recording that i've found. such high quality and a complete recording, it's one that i play regularly.
i'll just let you download it instead of rambling on.

set list:
01 : spanish castles in space
02 : little fluffy clouds
03 : blue room
04 : towers of dub
05 : star 6 & 7 8 9
06 : assassin
07 : close encounters
08 : majestic
09 : a huge ever growing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the ultraworld

the orb - a huge ever growing... 7" demo

evenin' all,

right, time for a demo, something i've never uploaded anywhere.
it's a mysterious cassette, from about 1989, containing various 7" versions of lovin u.

i do not own this cassette, by the way.
the cassette looks like this:

...and it contains four mixes.

01 : 7" A
02 : 7" B

03 : orbital dance mix

04 : 60 min mix sample

unfortunately, i reckon the person who transferred the tape to mp3 has used a horrible dehissing program, which has reduced the quality, but it shouldn't detract from the recording too much.

p.s. to answer someone's question, these uploads will not strictly be in chronological order, only roughly.

the orb - glastonbury festival, 1992/06/26

right, last one for tonight then.
the legendary 1992 glasto performance. many stories have been told about this one, from people hearing the pulsating sounds of the orb from miles away, to being in the crowd amongst the klf robes...
compiled from the "dipping into the cyberworld" bootleg, and an unknown source for the huge ever growing thingy.
anyway, set list:

01 : u.f.orb
02 : little fluffy clouds
03 : blue room
04 : assassin
05 : close encounters
06 : a huge ever growing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the ultraworld

length: 00:42:40 (sorry, i haven't found a complete recording yet...)
download here

also i'll chuck in a recording of "o.o.b.e." from aylesbury civic centre, 1992/06/04, taken from the "volume 5" compilation on volume.

legendary stuff...
