The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

The next album from Dougans and Cobain are releasing is another Amorphous Androgynous album, thus making AA an on-going project. The album started with further work on some music from The Isness sessions, although the three-year gap suggests there's a large amount of new material recorded. The tracks are also expectded to be in a slightly darker, funkier vein, possibly less playful and more spiritual than some of The Isness. Alice In Ultraland was one of the prospective titles for The Isness in the late '90s. The band are ressurecting the legendary Harvest imprint on the EMI label, famed for releasing psychedelic classics by Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett in the late '60s and early '70s, to release the record. The album will be out in September 2005, hopefully on the 26th.
And don't worry electro kids, the group have begun work on the follow-up to Dead Cities. Just wait a couple of years and you'll have some of that "real" music.
re purlieu: The isness should not have been such a surprise to those familiar with both some of the more ambient FSOL stuff proper, and with their earlier AA EP Tales of Ephidrina.
Stuff like Life Forms, and even one half of Dead Cities, is pretty close to AA, if less "acoustic".
But yea, it's cats and dogs to an extent, isn't it? At least what goes to "We Have Explosive" versus "Mello Hippo Disco Show".
I'm eagerly awaiting both FSOL and AA albums, no doubt.
Yeah, if you took away the sitar, half of the album would probably fit on Lifeforms or ISDN anyway... stuff like Elysian Feels, Her Tongue Is Like A Jellyfish and (especially) Guru Song is very FSOL.
Update on the official site - after a few seconds on the flash intro a link for Alice in Ultraland appears at the bottom left of the screen and you get a few samples from the album and more hippy pish from Garry.
God I love his music but the man can't half slaver some shite.....
I think some of the stuff on the site is actually quite interesting and I agree with it.
And I don't think it's all intended to be entirely serious (see: teleportation).
The site can also be found at http://www.amorphousandrogynous.com for whatever reason.
