2017 THREAD Orbital are back! Whatever happens will happen again!

[holden]

All good news! That's quite a wish list for remixers. Hope it all comes together. Plus a new LP without a 5+ year wait!

Edited to add: seeing Utah Saints on that list made me wonder whatever happened to them? I kind of enjoyed the sample craziness of their "Two" album. I guess they remixed "Something good" a few years ago, but really lost track of em.

I've probably mentioned it in this thread but those two live recordings they put out this year were absolutely ace. Love the idea of doing updated studio versions - the likes of Jean-Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk have done it, so why not Orbital?

Yeah, love the two live shows they put out. I can't for the new one. I preordered the WAV for the new show last night. Need the 17th to arrive soon.

I saw them in Brooklyn just the other week and curious if the setlist will be the same. Either way, I'll be happy to have this new setlist, but hope they sprinkle something different at Hammersmith.

According to Paul Hartnoll, they have loads of live recordings from over the years. Someone asked about them relearn a live around in a Q&A and Paul seemed really into the idea. He said he just needed the time and energy to sort through it all and figure out a way to present it/release it. They should create a Bandcamp or something and post them.

its kind of hard to navigate their page but if you just want the MP3s you can get them here

setlist appears to be:


Intro
Monsters Exist/There Will Come A Time
Impact
P.H.U.K./Wonky
Tiny Foldable Cities
Satan
Hoo Hoo Ha Ha
Halcyon
Vision On E
Belfast
The End Is Nigh
Doctor ?
Chime
Where Is It Going




seems pretty similar to their 2017 shows, but with new stuff taking the place of "Girl With the Sun in Her Head" and "Forever", which is too bad since those were both highlights of the 2017 sets. its strange that they completely skip over Snivilisation/In Sides/Middle of Nowhere...IMO those are their three best albums!

This year was very different from last year : the older songs felt revamped, the visuals and staging was all updated, and it certainly wasn't a rehash of 2017.

Wish I could have seen them Stateside. But all indications are of a band looking forward, not resting on the past laurels.

Monsters Exist has consistently impressed me. There are several B sides I'd sub into the LP, but as a whole new chunk of songs, it's stronger than Wonky, Blue , and perhaps Altogether (I know, a mixed bag, but some great stuff in it!).

[iamneorev]

I absolutely love Wonky and Monsters Exist. I got into Orbital when Snivilisation was released. Snivilisation and In Sides are both amazing. Middle Of Nowhere, The Altogether, and Blue Album were alright, but not as good. Wonky, Monsters Exist, Snivilisation, In Sides are my goto. Got to see them in Brooklyn earlier in the month. First time seeing them live and it was awesome! I highly suggest everyone to check them out live. Very powerful.

interesting. I tried listening to it when it first came out and got bored after the third track. I'll have to go revise.
