when i saw them in minneapolis (at Prince's former club, First Avenue, smallish place) it was just alex on his cdjs/turntable(s) and fehlmann on a mac book alex played some edited versions of their classic tracks, like LFC and the like, and he mixed in some other bits, samples, and cut in huge bass booms over several sections, it was really tastefully done and gave the tracks alot more impact, but it wasnt like anything mindblowingly new then fehlmann periodically improvised/added tempo synced beats/percussion/etc on top of it they played a couple misc tracks from throguhout their catalog, had a really really great visual show, and alex did some mixing stunts and generally looked like he was having a good time all and all i thought it was a good show, very good flow to it, sounded good and fit alot of material into the two hours they played also tickets were like $20 or $25 so, i thought that was pretty reasonable i would def go see them again if they ever come to minneapolis, it was just a nice relaxing show without people spilling drinks on your and poking their cigarettes into your new shirt etc

The new album will be out there as follows up until now: Kompakt CD Kompakt Deluxe vinyl with 3 bonus tracks (of which 2 will be available for digital download) http://www.kompakt.fm/blog Japanese CD (unclear whether or not it will contain bonus tracks) http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_Orb_000000000005684/item_Moonbuilding-2703-Ad_6386805?site=mailmagart <http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_Orb_000000000005684/item_Moonbuilding-2703-Ad_6386805?site=mailmagart&utm_source=moa150417sa&utm_medium=other> &utm_source=moa150417sa&utm_medium=other The Orb live is pretty much as Clint describes: Thomas playing the Macbook and LX does the spinning. The last time there was a 15 minute interlude in the set with LX DJ’ing (including a Pink Floyd Remix, undoubtely remixed by LX himself) with great visuals, that was the 25th Anniversary Orb Tour. Not like the old days, but definitely worth a visit. Which is what I am going to do: 14th May at Eurorock festival in Belgium, 7th October in Amsterdam. Like I said earlier: the future is looking bright J Regards, Johan Van: Clint Anderson [mailto:clinta@gmail.com] Verzonden: maandag 20 april 2015 19:39 Aan: Kiya Babzani CC: polar-sequence; AV2k; Idm List Onderwerp: Re: Fw: orb when i saw them in minneapolis (at Prince's former club, First Avenue, smallish place) it was just alex on his cdjs/turntable(s) and fehlmann on a mac book alex played some edited versions of their classic tracks, like LFC and the like, and he mixed in some other bits, samples, and cut in huge bass booms over several sections, it was really tastefully done and gave the tracks alot more impact, but it wasnt like anything mindblowingly new then fehlmann periodically improvised/added tempo synced beats/percussion/etc on top of it they played a couple misc tracks from throguhout their catalog, had a really really great visual show, and alex did some mixing stunts and generally looked like he was having a good time all and all i thought it was a good show, very good flow to it, sounded good and fit alot of material into the two hours they played also tickets were like $20 or $25 so, i thought that was pretty reasonable i would def go see them again if they ever come to minneapolis, it was just a nice relaxing show without people spilling drinks on your and poking their cigarettes into your new shirt etc
