- Are We Here?
- Attached
|
Released 1994 on FFRR Records. Written and produced by P & P Hartnoll. Vocals on ARE WE HERE? and SAD BUT TRUE by Alison Goldfrapp. With this CD, Orbital seems to be testing new waters, adding more weird samples and bearing a freakshow-style theme. Each track is very different, although Are We Here stands out as some of their better classic work. The whole album is a lot of fun to listen to.

Released 2001 on FFRR Records. All tracks written and produced by P&P Hartnoll except Funny Break (One Is Enough) written by P&P Hartnoll/N Bedford/A Bramley, Doctor? written by Ron Grainer and Illuminate written by P&P Hartnoll/David Gray. Extra production by Micky Mann. Recorded and mixed at 'The Strongroom'. Mixed by David Pemberton assisted by Chris Gardiner. Cut and mastered by Kevin Metcalfe at The Soundmasters. This album was released both with and without the limited edition bonus CD. The bonus CD is full of tracks from their CD singles, making 3 or 4 of them unnecessary to purchase (annoying if you already have them). The only new one on the bonus CD is 'Monorail,' which is sort of ponderous. The main CD, however, is the most fun to listen to since 'Snivilisation'. Varying wildly in style, almost every track has something to offer. Notably, Doctor? is a remix of the Dr. Who theme. Shadows is a fun take on an old cartoony creeping-through-haunted-houses riff. And Illuminate received much radio airplay. Too bad it ends on Meltdown, which is a bit too chaotic for the rest of the album.

12": Belfast
[ORBEL01]
|
 |
Track Listing:
- Belfast - Leama & Moor Re-Make
|
Released 2004 (unknown label). This single sided vinyl features a fantastic trance remix of Belfast by Leama & Moor. Clocking in at over ten minutes long, this lengthy remake takes the original and successfully turns it into a sublime, smooth and uplifting trancer. More often than not classic tracks have been ruined in the past when given the trance makeover - this, thankfully, is an example of where they got it right!
