I had to do a bit of digging, as the first link doesn't mention anything about Orbital! :P

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

That's 20 quid a gig, and there's 12 of them... Hmmm, should I spend 240 quid on getting the lot?? :shock:

Yes, I might just grab a couple of them - they'd better not vary their bloody setlist! :twisted: :P

i'd like to get the big chill one, as that's where i'll be seeing them, but 20 quid isn't cheap (and i'm poor).
if peeps are buying some, you should try and arrange it so that they all get bought between you, and, y'know...

Heh... read my mind.

Not that I know what you're on about of course... but I thought the same.

Maybe I will choose Brixton then. :D

Thats a lot of money Matt. Surely there are chaper ways... after all its only a USB drive with an MP3 file
The designs of the wristbands dont alter per show (at least I think not).

I will just stick with the one I think.
Also for 20 squids I would expect a fairly large memory and not just enough for the one sound file, it needs to be reusable imo
I would want a few gig at least.

Agreed with above - 20 quid is steep... Even the Underworld 2xCD's after each gig were only 15 quid each...

These are MP3 files on a wristband... :roll:

21: London Brixton Academy (September 24th)
22: London Brixton Academy (September 25th) WRISTBAND ORB-USB022

If you look at the catalogue numbers for the gigs I reckon mayeb ALL of them are getting recorded! Don't know whether any of the other gigs will see the light of day or not. Bloody expensive if they are though. as you say Nick 20 quid a pop is rather expensive when compared to 15 quid for the recent lovely Underworld live discs which had proper artwork and looked great.

Anyone any idea what sort of quality these will be? 320kbps mp3 if they have to be mp3 would be best.
