Oh, FFS....

Yeah I hope to God this is a mistake.

Loopz do you have any info?

I know we were complaing there was a lot and they were expensive but to go from 20 odd gigs to just 8 is rubbish! And for The Big Chill one to not be there now as well.

"Dear Customer,

Thank you for your recent order of the USB wristband for Orbital’s forthcoming summer show.

Unfortunately due to a technical problem with recording the shows, the wristbands will now not be available.

We have therefore cancelled this item and you have not been charged.

The wristbands will be on sale for the UK September Tour shows and you can pre-order these at:

http://www.recordstore.co.uk/orbital

Please accept our sincere apologies for any disappointment that this may have caused you.

Kind regards"

i got the same email, im very disappointed now and very sad pre-ordering 1-2 more UK september gigs then.. hope these will be available later.

[Badger]

That is a absolute disaster.



Surely the company who have been recording these have done it before? What problem are they having?
Or is it a case of not enough pre-orders so they've canned a lot of them? If they had done it like how Underworld did theirs last year and sold them 15mins after the gig then i reckon that would've shifted more copies.

Loopz, can you shed anymore light than this email?

But I really need to listen to that Brighton show again?

Anyone any ideas?????

[Loopz]

i'll update over the weekend folks. At least we are going to get SOME quality live recordings out of this. Think positive...

[Kyblik]

i have the same thought, but i cant wait for october to get the wristbands!!

[Badger]

Well now we're down to 7.

The Forum, Copenhagen has disappeared now.

[Kyblik]

i think maybe that Ireland gig will disappear also, since its not UK gig unless its not in North Ireland and im totaly mistaken whats all is/isnt in UK..

[Badger]

I bloody hope it doesn't as I've just ordered it.

Hey guys. Just saw the announcement and i'm very excited about this USB wristband offer. I've seen a few of the clips on youtube from the shows so far, and the things they've done with some of the tracks (lush and halcyon in particular) are quite incredible. Does anyone know if it will be a direct recording or will it have room noise. And if its a room recording, which offered gig tends to have the best acoustics?

[memly]

Any of these arrived for anyone yet (nick??)

Whats the quality like? (Sample rate?)
