» INFO | did you know? « Orbital won a NME award for Vibes Best Dance Act early in 1994, but it was their headline appearance at the Glastonbury Festival on 25 June 1994 that brought them most attention. Q magazine classed it as one of the top 50 gigs of all time, and in 2002 included Orbital in their list of 50 Bands to See Before You Die. Orbital gave an improvisational element to live electronic music as the brothers mixed and sequenced their tracks on the fly, wearing their trademark head-mounted flashlights behind banks of equipment. Orbital were one of the few electronic acts invited to play at Woodstock '94. » INFO | did you know? « Orbital sometimes incorporated political and environmental commentary into their music. The track Forever on Snivilisation samples a speech by Graham Crowden from the 1982 Lindsay Anderson film Britannia Hospital, in which he lambasts humankind for its destructive ways; and the track You Lot on the Blue Album, features a confrontational, partially vocoded anti-genetic engineering sample from Christopher Eccleston, originally from the TV two-part series The Second Coming written by Russell T Davies. » INFO | did you know? « Albums: Orbital (aka the Green Album) (1991) #71 UK Orbital (aka the Brown Album) (May 1993) #28 UK Peel Session (1994) #32 UK Snivilisation (1994) #4 UK In Sides (1996) #5 UK Satan Live (1997) #48 UK Event Horizon (1997) with Michael Kamen #83 UK The Middle of Nowhere (1999) #4 UK, #191 US The Altogether (2001) #11 UK Work 1989-2002 (Singles/Rarities Collection) (2002) #36 UK Octane (OST) (October 2003) Blue Album (June 2004) #44 UK Halcyon (Best Of) (2005) Orbital: Live at Glastonbury 1994-2004 (2007) [BACK] What do you think about Orbital? |
