Why
did you choose this track(s) to remix ? |
Erm... well, we reckon that it's
because The Box has such a catchy melody. Hee hee... that, and
the fact that we watched its music video an awful lot of times
on MTV's AMP while eating chocolate Pop Tarts. That always brings
back a lot of memories. The Girl With The Sun In Her Head pieces
fell into place when we decided to use similar LFO pulses and
the jungle patterns -- well, we later kind of demolished those,
but that's a whole other story, really. Under the table, boy!
Um... That's about all there is to it.

Why
did you enter this competition ? |
We consider it a prestigious honor
to have our music actually listened to by Orbital and their
track man. Thanx so much, Mr. Steve A. Price, for making all
of this possible! Well... we'd be even more honored to hear
what Orbital themselves have to say regarding our work... brothers
and brothers... hint hint... ;-D I (Torley) usually work solo,
but for this project, Merritt decided that it would be in the
pure spirit of Orbital if he tagged along for the ride and helped
me figure out some of the structural problems I was having with
my remix.

If
you had to listen to one Orbital track every day...what would
it be and why ? |
It would definitely be Lush 3-1.
The first intelligent dance music I (Torley) ever listened to.
Quite minimalistic and simple, but that makes it all the more
essential. We loved the video too -- it completely threw the
generic structure of electronic music videos in the rubbish
bin, and... oh, it was quite calming as well... ahhh...
