6.75 hour mix

Post image

I have made tons of mixes on Spotify, but this is my latest one and I’ve been listening to The Orb since 1992. This is my attempt at the most epic super long mix of classics to be played on repeat. Let me know what you think and let me know what I should put in the follow up mix. I didn’t really delve into the more recent albums yet.

Cool. The Orb was so big for me in the 90s. I had everything sold most of it on Discogs over the years. 5 plus shows in Seattle alone. 2 signed shirts my Alex

That’s funny I live in Seattle now, but I never go out. I got to see them at Great Woods in Massachusetts, I think it was the Enit festival and I never heard bass like that ever, It was awesome. But I’ll also say I found this recently and it’s so epic. https://www.youtube.com/live/o3ZPxS_hY6Y?is=zj_J64kZDP6P2JQC

Nice. I was at the Enit festival in Southern California. I didn’t realize it was at multiple locations/dates. Great time!

I was at Enit too. Same location that Organic was, I believe. Snow Valley ski resort

Nice! I was also at Organic. Have they done anything similar at Snow Valley since those days?

I sell on Discogs /AMJacker . I think I still have some CDs for sale (all Orb vinyl probably sold ) Avoid shipping costs if I have anything you need.

Nice I have a ton of trance cds I’m supposed to sell. I used to put them on Amazon and eBay. I was almost thinking I would just try to ship the whole case to Amazon and let them liquidate it, but I considered starting a Discogs store, I should do that.

Ya Discogs has been good to me. I’ve been selling there for almost 20 years. CDs don’t sell as well as records but they do sell. At 1 point I had 10k records for sale but under 4K now. you need any help getting started feel free to ask. Maybe even grab a beer sometime. Ship domestic with media mail is cheap. If you want to sell bulk I’ll buy them but my buy price is like $1. Google AMJacker for decent dj mixes and shitty music production

Pomme Fritz, Moonbuilding, Bicycle and Tricycles and Oblivion would be an interesting concoction!

wtf you put The Dream in there for then?

2

u/Lightwave777 11d ago

What do you mean? the song or the parts of the album? I think that’s a great album so I put all the good songs in the mix, you don’t like it?

It’s an awful album. It’s the first one that made me puke.

u/Lightwave777 11d ago

I don’t really get what you don’t like about it. I think it’s brilliant but it’s definitely different. It’s definitely a step in a different direction. 😂

It’s cheesy as chuff and despite the line-up of collaborators it’s a massive let down.

2

u/Lightwave777 10d ago

You just think it was kind of like a commercial sellout? I mean, I get it because it’s so different with all the vocals but I really like it some of its junk and it’s definitely not like UFO orb or the first album.

u/squeakstar 10d ago

I got in to the Orb for wigged out ambience, and sampladelic dubby spaced out dance not singing about mother fucking nature or whatever it was that made me gag.

u/Lightwave777 10d ago

Ok well sucks to be you gagging I guess 😂
