Re: Pusher Soundtrack - Full Preview

Very enjoyable indeed - sometimes a film's soundtrack, whoever does it, can lose a lot when dropped onto a cd but this time round it works very well. I'm loving the harder edged drone pieces a lot but they play into the area of stuff I like anyway, Orbital or not. The longer tracks, as already menti...

Re: Pusher Soundtrack - Full Preview

Mine's in the post from Amazon but, as lucky chance would have it, spotted the five track promo for it while in town today! £3 well spent :D Noticed that it has vocals from both their new friend Lady Leshurr and {swoon} the lovely Toni Halliday!! She's a major bonus to these ears. Can't wait for the...

Re: ORBITAL - "Never"

Listen to the album version and the free download one and you'll hear a difference in the first minute and a half. When you say "free download one" do you mean the audio to the video or was there an actual MP3 free release around the same time? Yes, I'm equally nerdy and now want to hear/...

New interview on The Quietus.

New interview with the chaps on The Quietus and a good read it is too! Covers a few of things I'd been wondering about - especially the samples on One Big Moment, the difference in the pair of them these days and the more defined focus to the album. http://thequietus.com/articles/08520-orbital-inter...

Re: Wonky Stream

The only thing dodgy about the NME is some of their musical taste :mrgreen:

Ta for the link - always handy to have non-Spotify legal streams to help convince friends of what they're missing!

Re: Wonky Album Review

In a bizarre, and frankly spooky, coincidence there was the third and final episode of the "Talk At The BBC" documentaries on BBC4 last night. What has that got to do with this place, I hear you thinking? The final clip was from Bertrand Russell in 1959 (starting at 54:04 if anybody wants ...

Re: Wonky - next single?

So, we have an album version, video version and radio edit all at quite varying lengths but still the only place an instrumental has been heard was in their mix? Has anybody seen sniff of one elsewhere? I'm growing to really enjoy the vocals but still curious to hear it in proper full-length quality...

Re: Wonky album credits - P + ? Hartnoll

Has anybody stopped to think that it might just be as simple as one brother not really wanting to get into the whole registration/credits/paperwork side and the other one happy to do it? I somehow don't think the brothers are in it for the songwriting fame game.

Just a thought.....

Re: Wonky Album Review

Perhaps they were looking specifically to make an impact with the tracks - so that they leap up and bang you in the face rather than creep up on you. That's certainly how it feels. If so, its certainly not bad thing. Just a change in style and approach from the 90s albums. The key thing is whilst '...

Re: Wonky Album Review

Still not sure about "wonky" though lol. I was still thinking that even while posting my review earlier but that track came round again not long after and the vocals on it kinda clicked more than previously. Sometimes it takes a few plays to hear things as they are rather than how you exp...
