Orbus Terrarum

That's all for now

Wed, 05 May 2010 01:19:00 -0600

So it turns out I grossly underestimated the amount of shows I have left. After sorting through everything and cross-referencing with Thatch’s wiki, I found a lot of mislabeled shows.

The only thing I have left are some original radio broadcasts of the BBC shows. Since these are now available on CD, I really don’t see a point in posting low-quality versions.

If anyone has a show that hasn’t been posted to either site, let me know. For now the site will stay as-is until I get some time to set up the centralized storage area I want. Maybe then we can work on some LX DJ sets.

I might also replace the site with a forum for Orb-ish discussion. Blogging is so one-way and the orb mailing list seems just about dead.

Unfortunately there is some really arrogant crowd noise at times.

I have left this show in-tact as it was when I downloaded it. Included in the zip is a CD cover as well as a ticket stub and VIP pass.

I am pretty sure I know the person who put this show together, but I’m not 100% certain, so I won’t name drop. :)

Did you know...

Regular commenter and show contributor Thatch has his own wiki with Orb show details and downloads? It’s an awesome reference.

In an attempt to not duplicate information, I will only be posting shows that are not available on that site. This also limits the amount of shows that I have left to post. If you have any live Orb show not listed on either site, please email me at joe@topjian.net or post a comment.

I have still been looking for a good alternative to MegaUpload to centrally share all available shows.

Thanks for reading!

If this show doesn’t generate some comments, I don’t know what will. Lots of Cydonia tracks (practically the entire album), including a great version of Once More.

There are two or three spots where the audio cuts out, but other than that, the sound quality is great.

I’m not sure if this is a DJ set or a live show + DJ set at the end. Does anyone know? Also, can anyone fill in the unknown tracks?

This is an audience recording with a bit of crowd noise, but not enough to get annoying. Great sound quality.

Good sound quality from an older show. Does anyone know the source of the Intro?

This sounds like an audience recording since there’s some speaker distortion. However, I think the distortion adds to the character of the sound.

One of my favorite shows. Great version of Secrets — I’ve always loved the ditzy weather girl. Nice, hard version of Delta MK II, as well. I think the best part of this show is Assassin, though, with the yelling preacher. And I’m not sure if this was really part of the show or a mistake in the radio broadcast, but there’s this weird cut-out of a guy saying “VX Magnatech” toward the end. Never knew what that was about. If anyone has any information, please comment.

edit: bomb23 has provided an alternate version of this show without the wacky VX Magnatech interference.
