Very nice interview, indeed. Thanks for posting!

So, they called Orbital off after 15 yrs because of the pattern of album/tour/album/tour? It didn't have anything to do with inspiration? (e.g. The Altogether had a lot of cheeky tracks that they did "just for laughs", i recall, and Blue Album was originally only an EP length)? Seemed to me they were getting burnt our musically, too.

They mention, no porduct, no album, just reunion shows. Maybe they'll get inspired after the festivals to produce something?

I agree with holden. They definitely sounded burned out though I'm sure they could still do it. To be honest I never really thought Orbital would be gone "for good" especially since their side/solo projects are not likely to sell but the Orbital name definitely would draw a crowd. I really hope they can record together again.
