Best dance track ever.....

[Dirty0900]

I'll probably have to go with an Orbital track, probably Satan. I was 14 when I saw Orbital live and it was my first ever gig. Was only famillier with a few of their songs like Chime and Belfast and was beginning to explore underground electronica stuff as I was only real in to stuff like UW,Chems,Massive Attack etc.

The gig itself was amazing and I'll never forget the sweeping background sounds over the spoken word used in the Satan track. Then it just went loud and mental. As it happened the next day, I had to go in for an eye operation and it was the only reason I was probably allowed to go to some over 18's gig/rave where my parents probably knew people would be slighly off their face. People constantly asked for E and i'll never know what that strange green liquid was that was in a two litre plastic bottle that me and my mate were offered. We didnt drink it as it weren't no limited edition Hulk flavoured Fanta.

When we got back to school, people where all like "who are Orbital" and "electronica" is shit. Pretty much everyone in my school was in to wanky American mainstream rap with no cultural resemblance to the ghettos of Newcastle or very angry sounding nu-metal. Apparantly, you could make electronica by smashing a keyboard a few times and looping the results. Still we've had the last laugh about 9/10 years on. When people squeal my own age squaal "ooo its Phil Hartnoll" from Orbital doing a DJ set, I just laugh as I can at least say I saw them on their last proper tour which I think was The Altogehter one. The send off gigs that came with the Blue album couldn't be classed a full blown tour. Ooo, a few London gigs and Glastonbury only
