The Orb – Blue Room (CocoDaBank Remix)
Posted (Van Santos) in Music Downloads on February-24-2009

Back in 2003 it came out that there was going to be a limited edition remix for The Orb’s classic “Blue Room.” One thing leads to another, the press (and fans) seem to forget the remix and it gets stuck on a compilation album… As a result, time passes and the remix is forgotten by history. 

Early this morning I received an email with a link to the remix in question.  It turns out that a limited release white label promo 12” was also distributed to DJs in hopes of gaining attention for the compilation release. After listening to the remix I can understand why the track was lost in the mp3 files of music history.

It appears the remix producers, Chris Coco and Rob Da Bank, simply took parts of the original mix and decided to overlay a new percussion and a few extra lead synth sounds.  I find the remix to be very unimpressive.  If I wanted the original version I would just pull out the original release.

So, for individuals who must have every remix of the Orb (such as myself) I give you the promo only remix of The Orb’s Blue Room (CocoDaBank Remix).

Hey Lazy!

Was there a password with it? I don’t remember that (or if it was, it may have been in the email and I forgot about it). If that is the case, sorry about that. Can you please post the password and the site where the original link is from as I would love to give them credit.

Thanks.

hi there
Did you actually manage to unzip this? I’ve been trying and the file seems to be corrupted…

If you have unzipped, could you please re-post?

Cheers

Hi Rockers,

Using Google, I found another one for you but it’s not unzippled – it’s using WinRAR.

Thanks for your help VS
It’s obviously not meant to be…
I have a different problem – I can’t seem to get beyond the first page of the Badongo site!

@Lazy,

Thanks for stopping in. I haven’t heard about any issue with the file as of late, I’m going to guess that most people are doing OK with it.

As for your mix, I’m heading over there right now to download it.

Best!
