I fucking love Orbital

[djelements]

Detroit is wonderful techno but it's that style you just want to put on first and wear the hell out of it for a few hours. German techno is that sound when you want to hear the unexpected or zoom out to mechanics. But the UK answer has always been bubbling melodies and great focus on emotion. Stuff you can listen to the whole day...while you carry on your mundane life.

I really don't like detroit techno

I fucking hate you.

[frodo]

One of my all time favourite acts.

"One Perfect Sunrise" is an absolutely stunning tune. The version they played at their last ever (ahem) gig at John Peel's in 2004 is pretty much a tearjerker. You can even hear one person in the crowd say "I'm going to cry now" when the song starts.

Here is a link to that set.

Sorry, I'm a bit tipsy and emotional.

(And yeah, fuck The Orb, and fuck Underworld, never came even close to Orbital)

[deadly_habit]

think i have everything thing by them including vids via torrent heh

[yong]

Fuck Underworld, it's all about Orbital.

Get the fuck out.

I grew up on underworld.

and NOT born slippy.nuxx either.

(btw the original version of 'born slippy' is gold if you can find it)

[bass hertz]

...And yeah, fuck The Orb....

i will pretend you didn't say that.

Orb Fan #1

Kittens is a tune but they'll never be as good as Orbital. Orbital are out in a field of their own and have been for nearly twenty years whilst everyone tried to sound like them

Orb Fan #1

I will also pretend he didnt say it.

as for orbital
The Earth is Burning - what memories

[magma]

fuck The Orb

Fuck RIGHT off. Seriously. Get out!

Orbital are great, but they shouldn't get the ridiculous amount of ballcupping they get from everyone.... they're a great festival act and I'm glad I saw them a few times at Glastonbury, but I wouldn't make the effort to see them these days.

The Orb though, The Orb fucking blew my mind on a regular basis when I was a teenager because my older brothers used to pass me down these weird as fuck records. AMAZING band. UFOrb is awesome.

[frodo]

Sorry, but I've just always thought that The Orb are massively overrated. I remember buying UFOrb years ago and listened to it numerous times but just couldn't see what the fuzz was about.

Meh.

[jonnyrebel]

orbital are amazing

Chime
Lush 3.1 (or whatever it is)
Halycon and on

Oh and underworld should not be fucked

Dark and long is a masterpiece
Cowgirl

Squarepusher - My Red Hot Car

One of my all time favourite tunes.

Meh.

massively Overrated
Ultraworld and UForb were mindmeltingly influential to 90s electronic music
...and don't get me started on Orbvs Terravm

...but its pointless arguing about taste
...and pointless comparing the Orb to Orbital when it comes to stating figureheads of 90s dance music - they are very different imo

[bandshell]

Never heard of Orbital, so I'll go check them out.

[steppo]

orbital 2 is the bizniz

reminding myself to go find a new copy of that, my old one is in shreds probably

[bandshell]

Right, been listening to Orbital pretty much non stop since my post, ffucking amazing.

Big up on the thread firky, would probably never have heard of them for a while or ever if you hadn't mentioned em on here.

[firky]

Search some torrent sites for "Orbital - Live At Glastonbury" and if you really like it buy it, well worth it imo


Get a couple of CDs and a DVD with it, it was about a tenner at one point.

[Tombones]

I quite like The Box myself. But actually, it's one of the untitled tracks on that single that I really really really really really like!

the one with the harpsichord drop?

Fuck Underworld, it's all about Orbital.

Kittens is indeed a tune.
