Thanks. I was bidding on an ebay one, but didn't get it. Still, will keep my eyes out in case any more surface. Now all these promos have gone out, it'll be interesting to see reviews tricking through over the next few weeks. I'm also debating whther the Final Drop mix of PETROL is radically new and...

Where are people getting these Wonky promo CDs from?

Bit miffed as i pre-ordered via the gig ticket + album bundle. Presumably that album is the one disc version. Nevermind, it's not as through live versions of x, y & z are thin on the ground. There is some confusion over that. Loopz did say it was being looked at but no info has yet been forthco...

Pete Claar's comment post is wonderful! He somehow seems to have summed up all the thoughts I had in my head but wasn't able to put down in words - both with questions about the writing process / map... And about the beautiful, transcendental quality of Orbital's music (I know exactly what he means ...

Interesting... Particularly that little 30 second work-in-progress sample. Sounds somewhere between In Sides and Middle of Nowhere. Although it'll probably sound totally different by the time it actually gets released! Can anyone make any sense of their album plan... Or is it their own idiosyncratic...

I always guessed that he'd chipped in a few ideas during the recording of 'In Sides' and they'd forgotten to credit him for them on the sleeve, so they decided to drop him in on a humourous way on the next album (which he seemingly also worked on). I guess the Funky Pitch Bend idea is just the fact ...

I have an MP3 of just the (possible) new Orbital track, if you want to PM me your email address. Would be interested to hear whether other people reckon it's them or not. The more I listen, the more little Orbital trademarks I hear, so I'm pretty convinced.

Does anyone know if an instrumental version of Frenetic exists? I seem to remember reading about one somewhere, a long time ago. I think the majority of the track's great, but not wild on the vocals for the first minute or so...

Oh yeah - that sounds a LOT like Orbital. Certainly got elements of Chime and Style in there. It's very good, whatever it is. Hope we get a tracklisting soon.

Middle of Nowhere's a great album - very under rated!

You can listen to it on the above link (well, at least in the UK). Orbital are hosting it, and DJing for the second half of the show. At about 1hr41, there's a new Paul Hartnoll track with Adam Freeland. Haven't got much further than that yet...

I've always thought it was a clever idea for a track, and love the clash of samples. Hoping for a lot more spoken word samples on the next album. Never managed to decipher the stretched out voice before, so thanks! It's troubled me for years. Not just because I didn't know what it was saying, but be...

Probably missing something obvious, but I didn't hear any music...???

I always wonder if anyone's tried to make a full transcription of the samples from 'I Wish I Had Duck Feet'. There are just so many things going on in that track that I'm still noticing something new everytime I listen to it!

Hello again, This seems to have had quite a lot of views, so some people might be interested to know that the book version is soon upon us. New excerpts can be viewed online http://www.peteandjeff.blogspot.com , and there's a pre-order campaign - to help fund the book - at: Hirst Books: Life Begins ...

You wouldn't be the same Hippy Dave from various 'progressive' rock forums, would you?

...And 'The Box, Part 1' - beautiful, eerie and haunting as ever!
