LOOPZ (The ORBITAL Zine) V3.0

Album Section - LOOPZ Online Orbital Discography

Green Album

Info

The debut album was really a collection of tracks compiled over the years. 2 pressings of the Vinyl version (both same track list though) and a total of 3 extra tracks spanning the 3 Uk formats. "Untitled" for the cassette (worth getting), "Macro Head" on vinyl with guest appearence by Tom and Jerry (If you have heard the track then you will know what i mean) and "I Think Its Disgusting" on the Cd (a short sampling loop). The USA release caused the stir (when it finally happened) as the record company couldnt handle the idea of releasing the album in its original appearence. Hence why the Us got the mad Moby mix, lacked the live stuff and got the "Satan" & "Choice" release.

Highlights of the albums has to be "High Rise" (uplifting), "The Moebius" (always remember the first play of this), "Chime/Midnight(live)" (good versions), "Untitled" (from the cassette) and of course "Belfast" (an excellent track).

Differences from the General Release.
The American Release contained Satan, Choice, Farenheit 3D3, a Moby remixed version of Speed Freak and a studio version of Chime.
Belfast was also moved to the track 1.
All these changes were initiated by the record company. The tracks "High Rise", "Untitled", "Macrohead", "Speed Freak", "Farenheit 303" and "I Think Its Disgusting" were not included in the US Release.
The inner Cd was totally different in design to the General Release CD (see pic above).
