The Orbital Appreciation Thread

[mark3]

The Girl with the sun in her head, Belfast and Science Friction are three tracks I really dig, but Adnan's is by far my favourite Orbital tune - love it!!

Hey gambit,

Most def. in a "that's great" view. Keep your inner child wondering & wandering, always.

Gotcha.

Belfast is the best chill-out song ever. That's enough for their respect, but they have so many more great songs.

The Box EP was the first pop CD I ever bought. And still one of my favourite EPs. Awesome.
In fact, other than the occasional duff track, I love most of their output. Certainly one of my alltime favourites.

"belfast", "chime" and "midnight". i don't know why people overlook midnight - the way it leaps half way through is pure orbital, loops and layers and really shouts forward to the brown tracks.
satan.
all of the brown album - i can never really listen to individual tracks, as they flow so well together. though the "u.s.a" version of impact would be a nice upgrade. i remember splicing it using a tape recorder! the breakdown before "remind" is a real spine-tingler too...

from "snivilisation" i'd have "forever" "are we here?" and "attached"

in-sides - "tgwtsihh" and "out there somewhere" do nice things...

live versions of "the box" were awesome

the altogether - i gave this away i hated it so much.

blue - "you lot" and "easy serv" and "one perfect sunrise", though only "easy serv" feels like something not trying to be "brown"

(finally - find live versions with improv spin-offs of these, and release them on cd and dvd)

Daddy?

Yes Son?

What does regret mean?

Well son, a funny thing about regret is that it is better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done......and by the way, if you see your mom this weekend just tell her:

SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN

what a great start to a tune!

I love Impact, Halcyon, Lush, Chime, Belfast, TGWTSIHH, You lot, Desert storm, forever, and loads more

What memories....

Ha! I was wondering where the other "oldtimers" were (the truly old can probably get back to 1989, but that was when I discovered 808 State--one good British techno group at a time, back then, at least in the States). 1996 was the magic year, really, cause Orbital, Underworld, and the Chemical Brothers hit the States on tour that year... let's just say that hearing Satan live for the first time...

Whee.

My favorite Orbital recording so far is my stream rip of their last Peel session (July 28, 2004). Just hearing the crowd response in that small studio and the love in the room just reminds me how happy the Hartnoll's music can make me.
