The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds


[...] "Over the past few years, to the traditional sounds of English summer, the drone of lawnmowers, the smack of leather on willow, there's been added a new noise..."



-What where the skies like when you were young? 

-They went on forever – They - When I w- We lived in Arizona, and the skies always had little fluffy clouds in 'em, and, uh... they were long... and clear and... there were lots of stars at night. And, uh, when it would rain, it would all turn - it- They were beautiful, the most beautiful skies as a matter of fact. Um, the sunsets were purple and red and yellow and on fire, and the clouds would catch the colors everywhere. That's uh, neat cause I used to look at them all the time, when I was little. You don't see that. You might still see them in the desert.

à savourer un dimanche matin à la campagne, de préférence pendant le p'tit déj ou plus tard en journée tout en savourant un picnic à l'ombre des nuages ... it can't get any cheesier than this, but God this music is just out of this world. merci The Orb, groupe anglais issue de la mythique scéne éléctronique british de la fin des années 80/début des années 90. c'est la premiére fois que je poste plusieurs variantes d'un même morceau. please enjoy. don't forget to check out the strings version (3rd sample).

Video Box by Electro-Harmonix

[...] The Voice Box packs a multi-functional vocal synth processor into a tough and compact chassis. Sing, and you'll have a troupe of backup singers following you in perfect harmony. Or use the built-in vocoder to unleash classic synth-robot sounds.

The harmony processor creates 2- to 4-part harmonies directly from your vocals, in the same key as your accompanying instrument. Studio-quality reverb lets you independently add depth to your dry and harmony vocals.

The focused 256-band articulate vocoder, designed by the same EMS genius who made vocoding famous, features adjustable harmonic enhancement and controllable formant shift.

Plug in your mic and your instrument, and let your new voice -- or voices -- be heard!
