I must say I'm really enjoying this new release from The Orb. I mean what else is there really to say about The Orb? They have managed to put out some absolute classic downtempo and electronica staples which have helped shape the sound of many of the artists you hear on The Buzzoutroom today.
They have been through much and unfortunately this year Orb member until 1999 Andy Hughes passed away from a short illness in June 2009. The Orb has also postponed their current world tour for reasons unconfirmed. Unfortunately their website http://www.theorb.com redirects to their MySpace page.

You can purchase the new release here

As soon as I hear about the tour opening back up I'll post the information here;





A discovery I found with the New Orb album "Baghdad Batteries"

You can try this yourself:

Make your own LIVE Koyaanisqatsi thanks to The Orb:

1) find a city during rush hour
2) Find a bar and enjoy a couple of your favorite vices
3) turn on The Orb - Baghdad Batteries - Track 4 "Raven's Suprise" then track 5 "Dolly Unit
4) Make it loud enough to drown out all sound
5) Walk through city madness to the train / subway etc...
6) Goto the front of the train to get a good view.
7) Watch the world go by

Let me know how you fare...

Unfortunately the datacenter which houses the 128k stream has had a power outage. When the power came back up the server didn't make it. They are restoring things from backup but it may be several hours before things are restored on the 128K stream.

Unfortunately we're at the mercy of the provider for things to get restored quickly.

The 24k and 64k streams are still up and running fine.
Here's the links.

Update
So apparently the server will take a while to recover. Fortunately we've moved the stream over to another temporary server and the 128k Stream is back up.
Cheers,

I've had a couple of e-mails from listeners asking if there are any apps for the iPhone or the Blackberry where they can listen to the station on their phone. I'd love to be able to do this myself but...don't even get me started on the cost of bandwidth on Cell phones in Canada.

Do you listen to the station on your phone? If so what phone and which app are you using?

Please leave your comments below to help out the other listeners.

Anyone know anything about getting apps made for phones?

Cheers,
S

Zero 7 has announced the dates for their North American Tour. I saw them here in Toronto at this wee little venue called the Opera House a number of years back and I must say it was the best show I had seen in a long time. My expectations are high for this one.
There seems to be a little bit of controversy with this lineup and choice of redone classics. We'll see...has any of the European listeners gone to this? Let us know how it was!

Here's the tour list. You can goto the evil Ticketmaster to purchase your tickets.

Nov 26 - Washington: 9:30 Club
Nov 27 - New York City: Terminal 5
Nov 28 - Boston: House of Blues
Nov 29 - Philadelphia: TLA
Nov 30 - Baltimore: Rams Head Live
Dec 02 - Montreal: Club Soda
Dec 03 - Toronto: Phoenix
Dec 04 - Chicago: Metro
Dec 05 - Minneapolis: Epic (The Quest)
Dec 07 - Denver: Ogden Theatre
Dec 08 - Aspen: Belly Up Aspen

So yeah...some of you listening at about 2am had 4 hours of the same song repeating...Weird thing was only the 128k stream was affected.

It was my home made server that did it. One of the balls of twineI use to tie everything together broke. Sooo I've wedged a piece of Bubble Gum next to the sound card and things should be running fine until it dries out.

If you're experiencing any difficulty with the stream just flip me an e-mail and let me know...
Cheers,
Sean
