I’ve uploaded all current shows to MegaUpload as zip files and corrected all links throughout the site. Please let me know of any issues.
I apologize for any inconvenience. I know that MegaUpload is full of ads and does not provide a direct download link, but all in all, it’s not really that bad. I will be on the lookout for a better solution.
The links to the shows have been temporarily suspended by Dropbox due to excessive bandwidth. While the notice I received from Dropbox indicates that the suspension is only temporary, I can only assume it will continue to happen. Please give me a day or so to find a new provider where this should not happen. I might just put the shows up on Rapidshare or Megaupload for now and figure out streaming later.
If anyone has ever been curious if Dropbox provides unlimited bandwidth or not (since it is not listed on their site), the answer is no, they don’t. I checked their rules and Terms of Service prior to using them and it did not indicate any type of limit. Googling around now, I found this which was created after Orbus started. It sounds like even the Pro accounts (which I was considering) also have limits.
The Orb – July 17, 1997 – St. Louis
This is an audience recording with a bit of crowd noise, but not enough to get annoying. Great sound quality.
The txt file that came with these MP3s reads:
Orb – Live at the Galaxy – St. Louis, Missouri, USA
July 17, 1997
2CD
Recorded live on a Tascam DA-P1 DAT recorder.
Edited on Silicon Graphics workstations. Distributed as a 2xCD-R set. Ripped and encoded on a Linux workstation. No analog conversions.
The Orb – November 23, 1993 – Exeter University
The volume level is rather low for this show, but other than that, it sounds great.
Orbus was down for the past few days due to a hardware issue in the Data Center it is located in. I apologize for the outage.
bomb23 was kind enough to provide an alternate source to the March 20, 1997 Glasgow show. I’ve added it to the show’s page.
The Orb – September 22, 2007 – Le N.A.M.E. Festival
Thank you to Thatch for this show.
The Orb – April 16, 1993 – Manchester
This is an incomplete show, but I don’t think by much. ID3 tag on the MP3 file mentions the DAT messing up.
The Orb – June 22, 1996 – Los Angeles
This was the Radio broadcast of The Orb’s set from Organic ‘96. It was a good show, but the Radio DJ’s were really, really annoying.
The Orb – October 14, 1992 – Leeds
Good sound quality from an older show. Does anyone know the source of the Intro?
