Perpetual Blog

Tonight’s post is made of win, full of epic, all that shit.

The Orb
Perpetual Dawn (Solar Flare Extended Mix)
Perpetual Dawn (Ultrabass II)
Perpetual Dawn (Ultrabass I)
Perpetual Dawn (Solar Youth Mix)
Star 6 & 7 8 9 (Phase II)

“Perpetual Dawn” is probably my least favorite track off of The Orb’s Adventure’s Beyond The Ultraworld. And before you ask, yes it’s because of the random “blahblabblah” vocals. It has ALWAYS bugged me it always will. However, it’s still an awesome tune and since some of these remixes downplay that little bit of vocal retardation, it’s a bit easier for me to get behind them than the original version. To the best of my knowledge the only one of these that you can go out and buy is the “Ultrabass II” mix, which is on the deluxe version of the aforementioned album. However, that version never came out in the states, so I’m gonna make an exception to my rule that I rarely go by anyways and post it. And if you like The Orb click here. Blue Room.

Kraftwerk
Robotnik (Kling Klang Extended Mix)
Robotronik (Kling Klang Mix)

Funny and totally random story. I used to be way into the Sonic games as a kid (I grew out of them after part three, which was good timing considering how much ass they are now). The Americanized name of the villain in that game is Dr. Robotnik, pronounced “Robot-Nik” I, in my infinite stupidity, pronounced it “Robo-tink” which sounds like some fucked up robotic sex toy. These two versions of “The Robots” are remixes of the version that is on their 1991 album The Mix, which was itself a remix. It’s confusing. Don’t think about it. Just listen to the German techno and be happy.

Saint Eitenne
Who Do You Think You Are (Strobelights & Platform Shoes Mix)
Who Do You Think You Are (Saturday Night Fever Dub)
Who Do You Think You Are (Nu Solution Mix)
Who Do You Think You Are (Tilt Dub)
Who Do You Think You Are (Quex-Rd)

I totally forgot I had these. Not only that, I totally forgot buying this 12” single, recording it, tagging the MP3s and adding them to my iTunes collection. I wasn’t even on drugs or drinking (I think) when I did all of that either. The only reason I found these tracks is because I recently bought more Saint Eitenne. I’m used to finding weird shit when I clean my room (old socks, a Spin magazine from 1999, my copy of Purple Rain on vinyl) but the fact that I can lose shit on my computer is a whole other level of disorganization that I’m almost a little bit proud of.

Oh, and these are good remixes, enjoy.

    As usual, you get it wrong. And as usual, I have to correct your ignorance.

    "Perpetual Dawn (Ultrabass II)" DID come out in the states, on a 1991 Mercury CD single.

    People like you who think you know it all really bug those of us that actually do.

    Hey Hey Anonass! Thanks for the comment! I was going to deny it but since it's so hysterically stupid and wrong I thought I'd have fun and respond.

    Dear Anonymous bitch, lead to read:

    "To the best of my knowledge the only one of these that you can go out and buy is the "Ultrabass II" mix, which is on the deluxe version of the aforementioned album. However, that version never came out in the states…"

    When I said it never came out in the states I was referring to the deluxe version of Adventures Beyond The Underworld. You see, a sentence has many words, sometimes you have to read ALL of them. I know that's hard for you. Maybe someone as stupid as you has a daily word quotient that they can't go over less they accidentally learn something.

    And here's the best part. I actually WAS wrong. But you didn't catch it. Turns out you can get the Ultrabass II mix (as well as the Solar Youth mix) on the U.F. Off compilation.

    You didn't know that? I thought you knew everything oh wise and all-knowing douche-troll?!

    Have fun sucking on all that fail.

    Nice try, but I'm calling bullshit on that claim of yours.

    "To the best of my knowledge the only one of these that you can go out and buy is the "Ultrabass II" mix, which is on the deluxe version of the aforementioned album. However, that version never came out in the states…" – now, what are leaving out here…?

    Oh yeah, "that version never came out in the states so I'm gonna make an exception to my rule that I rarely go by anyways and post it."

    But did you post the entire fucking deluxe "Adventures Beyond The Underworld"? No, you posted "it" – the "it" being the "Ultrabass II" mix. So you weren't talking about the entire album, you were talking about the single track.

    The problem is less me not knowing how to read than it is you not knowing how to write.

    And fact check.

    And being able to dish it out but not take it.

    So suck on your on "FAIL". You obviously have gotten pretty good at it by now, Dr. infinitely stupid "Robo-tink".

    You can whine about semantics all you want bitchboy (your new official name at Lost Turntable) but that doesn't change:

    a) That you can't read.

    b) That even though you "know it all" that you didn't notice the actual mistake I made in that post.

    You had a chance to redeem yourself by eating crow. You blew it. From now on anything that looks like it was written by you will be denied. There's enough bullshit spewed forth by cowards on the internet without it appearing at this site.

    Stay groovy!

    I love the work, TLT! Keep posting these amazing tracks. I wish I was a little bit shorter, actually, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the blog. 🙂
