Orbital (band)
Orbital are an English electronic music duo from Otford, Kent, England, consisting of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll. The band's name is taken from Greater London's orbital motorway, the M25, which was central to the early rave scene during the early days of acid house. Additionally, the cover art on three of their albums showcase stylised atomic orbitals. Orbital have been critically and commercially successful, known particularly for their live improvisation during shows. They were initially influenced by early electro and punk rock. Career Early years In 1989, Orbital recorded " Chime" on their father's 4 track tape deck, which they released on Oh Zone Records in December 1989 and re-released on FFRR Records a few months later. The track became a rave anthem, reaching number 17 in the UK charts and earning them an appearance on ''Top of the Pops'', during which they wore anti-Poll Tax T-shirts. According to Paul Hartnoll, the track was recorded "under the stairs" ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
III (Orbital EP)
''III'' is an EP released by the techno duo Orbital. The title has a double meaning, referring to it being their third single release, and having three tracks. Two of the group's best known tracks, "Satan" and "Belfast", made their first appearances on the EP. "Belfast" was first discovered by David Holmes and Alan Simms when they booked Orbital to play the Art College, Belfast on 12 May 1990. Orbital left a demo tape which included the track that was subsequently named "Belfast" in recognition of the positive experience they'd had in the city. Samples "Satan" features samples from "Sweat Loaf" by punk band Butthole Surfers. "Belfast" uses a sample of soprano Emily Van Evera performing "O Euchari" from the Gothic Voices album ''A Feather on the Breath of God''. The same sample had appeared on The Beloved's hit "The Sun Rising" a year earlier, but had not been credited. "LC1" includes a sample of television presenter Fred Dinenage reading a report of an alleged alien abductio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2009 Greatest Hits Albums
9 (nine) is the natural number following and preceding . Evolution of the Arabic digit In the beginning, various Indians wrote a digit 9 similar in shape to the modern closing question mark without the bottom dot. The Kshatrapa, Andhra and Gupta started curving the bottom vertical line coming up with a -look-alike. The Nagari continued the bottom stroke to make a circle and enclose the 3-look-alike, in much the same way that the sign @ encircles a lowercase ''a''. As time went on, the enclosing circle became bigger and its line continued beyond the circle downwards, as the 3-look-alike became smaller. Soon, all that was left of the 3-look-alike was a squiggle. The Arabs simply connected that squiggle to the downward stroke at the middle and subsequent European change was purely cosmetic. While the shape of the glyph for the digit 9 has an ascender in most modern typefaces, in typefaces with text figures the character usually has a descender, as, for example, in . The mod ...

In Sides
''In Sides'' is the fourth album by British electronic group Orbital, released in the UK on Internal on 29 April 1996. The album's title is a reference to the fact that the original vinyl LP release of the album was as a 3-LP vinyl box set, with one track per side of each disc. ''In Sides'' saw the band continue the process, begun on their previous album ''Snivilisation'', of moving away from making music for the rave scene towards more intricately crafted melodies and reflective, downtempo tracks. Gathering widespread acclaim not just from dance music magazines but also the UK's more traditional rock music papers such as ''NME'' and ''Melody Maker'', the album is considered by many reviewers and fans to be among Orbital's best work. The album spent 12 weeks in the UK charts in 1996, and reached a high of No. 5 in the week of its release. Recording The album was recorded at Orbital's rented studio space at The Strongroom in central London. It was mostly programmed and recorde ...

Style (Orbital Song)
"Style" is a 1999 single by the electronica duo Orbital. It was their fourth consecutive single, and fifth overall, to reach the top 20 of the UK singles chart, peaking at number 13.

The main version includes a sample of " Oh L'amour" performed by Dollar, while the "Bigpipe Style" version (which features the main riff played on bagpipes) samples Suzi Quatro's hit " Devil Gate Drive". Orbital's request to use a sample from a Rolf Harris stylophone demonstration disc was turned down. The other versions are "Old Style", a more club-oriented dance mix; and "New Style", a retro-styled version with live bass by Andy James. All of the mixes are by Orbital themselves; the duo had wanted Stereolab Stereolab are an Anglo-French avant-pop band formed in London in 1990.

Halcyon (Orbital Song)
"Halcyon" is a song written and performed by Orbital, dedicated to Paul Hartnoll's mother, who was addicted to the tranquilliser Halcion (Triazolam) for many years."Well, we all had this crazy adolescence," explains Phil, tucking into a chilli burrito. "Because my dad was working really hard and was rarely at home while our mum was freaking out on Halcyon (a then-popular prescription tranquiliser)... Don't get me wrong, mum was always very loving and caring. But they prescribed her this drug and she just kept on doubling the dose." It was this which inspired 1992's 'Halcyon' and its video, which depicted bald Kirsty out of Opus III as a snooker-loopy housewife rattling around her suburban semi"Orbital:Suburban SpacemenSelect Magazine, September 1994.

Midnight / Choice
"Midnight" / "Choice" is a double A side single released by Orbital. This single was released in the UK in August 1991. "Choice" samples, and takes its name from, the track "Annihilation" by the hardcore punk band Crucifix. "Midnight" appears on both the UK and US versions of ''The Green Album'', though in different forms: The US edition features an edited version of the track, while the UK edition contains a live version with a significantly different arrangement. "Choice" also appears on the US version of the album. Early versions of the single feature "Midnight (Sasha Remix)" as track 1, labeled simply as "Midnight". Later editions replace this with a non-remix version of Midnight (presumably the US version) rather than correct the track title. The third track of the single was "Analogue Test 90" Remixes As with all four singles off the first album there was a remix single of Midnight/Choice as well.

The Box (Orbital Song)
"The Box" is a single by the British electronica duo Orbital. Taken from their 1996 album '' In Sides'', the single was released in 1996 and reached number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. Song Paul Hartnoll told the ''NME'' that the song was based on a recurring dream he had about the discovery of a mysterious wooden box in the Welsh countryside, but that he would always wake up just at the point he was opening the box, so he never found out what was inside it. "The Box" was released in two versions and six arrangements, each divided into parts. The version released on ''In Sides'' is in two parts, a slow downbeat "Part 1" and a faster upbeat "Part 2" of the same song. The longer single version of The Box is in four parts, all of which are untitled. The first is a short edit of the album version, as used in the music video. The second and third parts are new songs which share certain melody, harpsichord, and percussion elements with the first. On the CD single, these first three par ...

Orbital (1993 Album)
''Orbital'' (also known as ''Orbital 2'' or ''The Brown Album'') is the second studio album by English electronic music duo Orbital, released on 24 May 1993 by Internal and FFRR Records. Like the duo's debut album, the album was officially untitled. The album peaked at number 28 on the UK Albums Chart. Album On ''Orbital'' the duo aimed to make more atmospheric music than the dance raves of their first album. They used more complex rhythms and denser arrangements on the appropriately named pieces entitled "Lush" but still proving themselves capable of making quality pop music on " Halcyon + On + On", with vocals from Kirsty Hawkshaw of Opus III. The album begins with "Time Becomes", which uses the same speech sample by the actor Michael Dorn in '' Star Trek: The Next Generation'' (Time squared - season 2 episode 13, Worf - 20'30 : "There is the theory of the Möbius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop") which opened their first album. The piece uses phasin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
