did anybody listen to the broadcast last night on bbc radio 6. they played four tracks from the set then if you want more you had to text the word CHIME, if you didn't then you would text the word CRIME. me and other fans on the loopz website were going mad over the chat room . all of us texted in CHIME even though the broacast was a CRIME as they played the set too slow so sounded very strange. because of loopz' bombardment to radio 6 they called out some of our names, so it was a big shock to hear "we have a email here from chemical si who has written chime hundreds of times", i almost pissed myself with laughter.

because of the poor quality we all emailed in saying that it was too slow so at the end of the set they then said "we have had lots of responce of the loopz site saying that the sound was too slow... i don't know, we here at radio 6 like to think of it as chilled"... checky monkeys



all in all i think it was a good set and brought back some memories (memories not mameries). i think you can listen again for the next week (but get your own link as i'm not getting it for you).

hahah nice story.



the maida vale (last ever! sob) orbital set is superb, you can get it off emule, well worth checkin gout the whole thing. its also got john peel opening and closing it which makes it all the more poignant. 'wipes tear from eye'.

i myself was lucky to see there third last gig ever. fucking incredible to say the least. when the box started it was incredible

yeah, i totally regret not getting a ticket to one of thier last shows :( i was so brassic at the time i just couldnt afford it.



orbital are amazing, along with the chems they totally shaped how i see mausic. i remember the eclipse in 1999 they played a festival in cornwall the night before, but hardly anyone turned up - it was orbital on a massive stage with huge speakers and 200 people going for it 8) did a shit load of really strong pills, stayed up all night then travelled into plymouth for the actual eclipse at 11.00am - totally amazing and really trippy :)



ahhh, those were the days!! X-D

best memory for me was front row at my one and only orbital gig in a tent that held 3000 people and paul and phil were setting up and i shouted to phil and he came over to us

wicked! did u have a little chat?

not much he was busy setting up the rig but then paul came over with to us as well.

haha superb.



i remember seeing paul hartnoll dj at mass years ago and after he finished his set i went to speak to him, but he was talking to someone else. i thought id wait, then realised i was waiting on a big stage in front of loads of people and as i was well beaned up i got the fear and ran away :-// X-D

was going to go to fabric a few weeks ago to see phil dj but it happened to be the same weekend as seing the chems and new order in belgium and so couldn't go.

apparently he's a bit shocking on the old ones and two's. my mates tried to book him for their night, but he couldnt do it as he had other commitments in the same city on the same night. lots of people reported back that he was a bit ropey and they probably got lucky by not booking him. :?



sacrilege i know, but hopefully he's got better since.

yeah heard it ain't the best but the fact he wears the miners shades you gotta respect him for that

hahahaha def maximum respect



a bit like these ?? ----> 8) ?

I was fortunate enough to see Orbital and the late great Leftfield on the same bill at a new years eve extravaganza at Docklands in 2000/2001.



It was a stunning night, I can still feel the bass rumbling up my legs and through my belly! Little did I know at the time, that was going to be the last chance I would have to see either legendary act! Makes me one VERY lucky kiwi to have had the chance :)

Out of there final shows I went to Glasto, it was a really good set and the atmosphere was very happy, there was alot of emotional hardcore fans. I read that the Oxygen and T in the park shows were just as good. However I would of loved to of gone to the Maida vale session.







Heres a pic that really captures and brings back the memories of the Glasto set. When they played doctor who it was really a special moment I thought. The only thing I didnt like in the set is when they played a bit of the darkness.

I laughed so hard when they played the Darkness sample during "Halcyon", but I don't really like "Halcyon" live, it's alright but seems to lack the right mood live.
