Orbserver iTunes bonus track

Check this out (taken from Contact Music site):

CD / digital / iTunes (with exclusive bonus track) 2 x 12" vinyl Deluxe box set (album, instrumental CD, 3 x 7" singles: yellow, green and black vinyl, plus 2 X art prints)


Japanese version is due August 8th - I bet it will also contain bonus track.

Orbserver remixes

According to Alex' post on his blog Gaudi has recently remixed 'Soul Man' and 4 other mixes of 'Golden Clouds' has been also made - 2 by Youth, 1 by Nick (?) and 1 by David (?). I have to figure it out who's who. Stay tuned...

Edit: I think Nick could be Nick Brennan a/k/a Tripswitch a/k/a Codemonkey or Nick Neutronz a/k/a 81 Neutronz... We'll see...

Edit 2: Ahh, of course David is David Harrow... The man who made Battersea Bunches remix...

The Orbserver in the Star House tracklisting

Here's the tracklisting for forthcoming Orb album (due September 3rd):


1. Ball of Fire
2. House of the Orb [or H.O.O.]
3. Man on the Moon [or Man in the Moon]
4. Soul Man
5. Golden Clouds
6. Hold Me Upsetter (4:21)
7. Go Down Evil [or Don't Rush]
8. Thirsty
9. Police and Thieves
10. Ashes
11. Congo

Of course it's not official, and taken from Resident Advisor site. On Orb site there's also some words from Kris Needs where he mention all the tracks. That's why I'm not sure about title of track 7 (Needs says about 'Don't Rush', but RA lists 'Go Down Evil'). 'Golden Clouds' is new version of 'Little Fluffy Clouds'. 'Police and Thieves' is cover of Junior Mervin track produced by Perry years ago. 'Hold Me Upsetter' can be downloaded for free from Orb site - sounds very Fehlmann-ish... There are also two other titles that I'm not sure of...

The Orb news reactivated

I was really surprised to see that after one year since last post on this blog, everyday about 25 people reads it. I think this means that my blog is still needed and official Orb site is not enough. So here it is - I will again try to keep up with different Orb news.

I have updated my text-based discography also.

The Orb discography updated

I have updated my text-based and very detailed discography with info on C Batter C, Shrubbn!! remix and Mojo cover CD. You can click here for it or follow the link on the right.

More new releases from High Frequency Bandwidth

At long last the Original Soundtrack Recordings from HFB's score to the PixelJunk® Shooter series is available to buy. Every track has been lovingly re-created from the dynamic score prepared for the Playstation games.

Shooter 1 garnered a BAFTA nomination for Best Original Soundtrack (Shooter 2 will be eligible for next year's awards.)

Malicious Damage Records have released the album as a DRM-Free Download in iTunes and all good MP3 stores as of now. Priced at £7.99 for the UK, the full iTunes version includes a digital booklet featuring exclusive artwork, original concept art from Shooter 1 & 2 and liner notes from Q Games' studio director Shouichi Tominaga and HFB.The album will also be available on your Playstation via the Playstation Store and Playstation Network very shortly.For those of you who found HFB listening to the PixelJunk games, we've reason to be optimistic that Shooter 2 isn't the end of the story, but like us, you'll have to wait and see.

We've just finished a remix for Russian label Ketama Records (who hosted HFB's debut in Moscow)of the delightful "Sirtaki on Mars". Keep your eyes pealed here for a preview.

Juliet Russell (vocals on "High Five Brother") just released her debut solo single which she co-produced with Dom Beken. Watch the video, buy the single or give a thumbs up to her Facebook site all via www.julietrussell.com

Dynamax (vocals on several HFB favourites) has been collaborating with Dom on a new project known as Years of the Canine. Guests include Afrika Bambaata, Mike "Clip" Payne (Parliament/Funkadelic), Kris Needs and Guy Pratt. Check it all out at www.yearsofthecanine.com

Keep an ear out for Alex's new project with Gaudi and Chester... codename ScreeN.
