Loopz

Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter whose nickname is Punky. When she was as little as 2, she inspired me to pen out an electronic track, which was given the same name. Longrange then help rework this into the track below. She still feels a little embarrassed about this, but I hope she understands how important she was and still is in my life 🙂

Loopz vs LongRange – “Punky”

 
Danish writer/director Nicolas Winding Refn achieved global screen fame for his indie hit Drive. Pusher is the British remake of his debut 1996 film which became a cult hit across Europe. Orbital were brought onboard to provide the score, which will be released on 8th October 2012.

“Working on Pusher was a great opportunity to create a score that draws on both moody thriller styles and dance music in equal measures. Full of anthemic film noir moments. Brilliant.” – Paul Hartnoll

Orbital played their track ‘Where Is It Going’ on top of a large podium with theoretical physicist Professor Stephen Hawking sat in front of them. Yes, he even wore their trademark torch specs!

The hundreds of dancers in the stadium re-enacted the Large Hadron Collider while Stephen Hawking explained the workings of the collider.

Orbital will release the single “Where Is It Going?” on August 27th 2012. This track is taken from their 8th album entitled Wonky and the live version from Manchester, can be viewed below:-

More details on the single release in the near future…
