Orbital videos?

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

Orbital videos?

Post by subatomic »

Is there a source for older orbital videos?
(other than the Altogether DVD, which I have and is great of course)...

Some compilation DVD, or official DVD?
I'd even be happy with bootleg, or download some divx files if that's all that's available... :)

I've searched for this in the past, but haven't turned anything up...
Figure I'd ask here before searching again...

(alternatively, is there a listing of all music videos produced by orbital?)


Interested in produced music videos mainly, but recorded concerts would be interesting too if filmed well...
Thanks!

Does this help? http://www.loopzorbital.com/video1.html

No official videos (apart from the Altogether) as yet, although (I believe) "The Box" (or was it "The Saint"?) appeared on a Brits compilation tape some time ago...

There are promo videos around, but they turn up few and far between of Halcyon, Lush, The Box, The Saint, etc...

i have seen that page before...
i think i'm looking for better versions of those videos.
- non realplayer, non proprietary format (i.e. mpg or divx)
- high res (some of these are pretty low quality)

ok, so has anyone collected these together into a DVD?
and if not (sounds like not).... is there a source for high quality (hires) versions for download?

If there was a compilation of these on DVD, I'd pay for it... (hint hint orbital).
or high res versions for download in non proprietary (i.e. mpg/divx) formats would be equally nice.


I guess that was my reason for asking, sorry I wasn't clear...
(and thanks for the link, maybe I can cobble together my own DVD by converting the formats here...)

if that's all there is, it's a tragedy this fine work is not more available or promoted more...
i don't even own a VHS player anymore, it's been years.


Maybe the band could release a print-on-demand DVD of the old stuff using kunaki or something... it's a really low risk venture, low cost per DVD with no upfront cost, and I'm sure there's a few rabid fans like me that'd pay whatever... (i've used kunaki, they're cool)...

(i'd do anything for a high res and hifi version of the "the box")

Magenta boxed set was made as an HMV exclusive I think but not authorised by the band ?

Check with Loopz on this.

but some got out.

Contained - Insides + The box single + Box VHS.

Yes we would all love to give Paul n Phil more money for an Official DVD of the videos of the single and live gigs but cant see that hppening unless it somes out from the Glasto project.

...which is most likely not happening now :(

Yep the Red Box was for a competition run by Virgin if my memory serves me right. Contained The Box Single, In Sides and The Box video promo. Some randoms also used the box to create their own promotional items as well.

What was the reason for the original company changing their minds?

This will be terrible if it doesnt get released.

Any more news Steve?
