Dirty 0900's original message:

Crusty rockers are doing it, so why not on the elctronica vibe!

i can't tell from this if they're planning anything beyond the one gig- the bit about "time was right", "not an exercise in nostalgia" makes me hope there's new brotherly collaboration.

Re: Orbital reform
 

Superb news!!! :D

Re: Orbital reform
 

oh no, we're even more shit when we're seperate, lets see if we can scccccccrape together some bits of stuff so that together we can be mediocre again

meh.

Re: Orbital reform
 

WOW I HOPE THEY PLAY DOCOTOR WHO AND THEN THE BELINDA CARLISLELS SONG BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T ALL HEARD THE EXACT FUCKING SAME THING NINETY TIMES.

Both should throw themselves under lorries.

Re: Orbital reform
 

Wow! Not entirely unexpected, though 5 years does seem to have flown by...

I don't hold out any hope of there being any new Orbital material, but to be honest they could play exactly the same set at their farewell tour and I'll still be first in line to get a ticket...
