(5.50)<br \/>\n<code><\/code><br \/>\nWonky was recorded in a small studio in Orbital\u2019s Brighton home base, then mixed in London with help from internationally acclaimed producer Mark \u201cFlood\u201d Ellis, whose stellar list of previous collaborators includes PJ Harvey, U2, Nine Inch Nails and The Killers. Paul credits Flood with giving the album a more rounded, holistic sound.<br \/>\n<code><\/code><br \/>\n\u201c<strong>I mostly remember Flood from all the electronic stuff like Cabaret Voltaire, Depeche Mode and Renegade Soundwave,<\/strong>\u201d Paul says. \u201c<strong>One of his first and greatest loves is electronic music. He\u2019s actually got a bigger synthesizer collection than us. He also has a good structural overview of music, because he\u2019s not just a dance producer, he comes from a more holistic song viewpoint, which is how we like to approach it. I didn\u2019t want to work with just a dance producer because I don\u2019t think this is a dance album, it\u2019s an electronic album.<\/strong>\u201d<br \/>\n<code><\/code><br \/>\nA series of Dj Sets allowed Orbital to road test the new tracks and see what the crowd reactions were like. \u201c<strong>That was really beneficial to our writing,<\/strong>\u201d Phil says. \u201c<strong>Trying out tracks in front of audiences, listening through their ears, getting responses. That\u2019s been a really good string to our bow.<\/strong>\u201d<br \/>\n<code><\/code><br \/>\nProbably one of the most talked about elements from the New Album video diaries, was the emotional and musical road map drawn on the white board. This was covered with little post-it notes, which on some occasions were torn off and discarded during the video diary. As Paul described, \u201c<strong>The whole process of this album has really been a case of the book writing itself<\/strong>\u201d.<br \/>\n<code><\/code><br \/>\nAs usual, the fans and media are always asking if this will be the last album from Orbital. We have been here before of course,but Phil sums up his thoughts on the matter.<br \/>\n<code><\/code><br \/>\n\u201c<strong><em>For me these feel like the most enjoyable Orbital times that we\u2019ve ever had.\u00a0 I\u2019s just getting better and better. It feels like a new beginning<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orbital\u2019s 8th album entitled \u201cWonky\u201d will be released on the 1st April 2011.
