RE Works
So, I guess we're all agreed that if Works were released today, there'd be some tracks that were different.
I don't want to reopen an old debate about what should have been on or off at the time - mainly because I'm quite possibly the least informed person on here - but because of the subsequent release of Blue.
Anyway, a starter for ten:
OUT
Illuminate
Frenetic
IN
You Lot
One Perfect Sunrise
I'd also really like to include Acid Pants, but only to engender outrage...
(I'd also bin Choice and find some way of including TGWTSIHH and Lush, but that's another story).
Anyone else?

Slugs! HE created slugs! They can't hear. They can't speak. They can't operate machinery. Are we not in the hands of a lunatic?

Oops, just realised that this is quite similar to the Favourite Orbital Song thread, so I'm changing it to Favourite Orbital Teeshirt.
Mine's The Altogether UV ribcage one...

I nearly went for 'Style' grey one on the grounds that it's the one I wear the most, despite the fact that it acquired a small burn hole on the chest the first time I wore it...

Tee-time
My favourite shirt is the Olympic Rings shirt - bright colours on the dark green material, but I also have the khaki coloured shirt.
I have two others - the dog from Work/Rest/Play, and the Green swirls from the 'Blue' tour.
As for a re-released 'Work', I'd add OPS and You Lot!, and ditch Illuminate. The rest are fine, although I will admit that all the album versions of the tracks are superior, and I don't listen to Work very much.

I would have got the blue swirls but went for the green circle instead because it was advertised as UV - it isn't...
I was Orbital tee shirt spotting at Glade this year and spotted 5 on Saturday night - made a point of staggering up and congratulating each and every one on their musical taste, obviously. Only frightened a couple of them...

Yeah, the green shirt looks like it might glow in the dark (especially the Orbital logo on the back).davemacfrombath wrote:I would have got the blue swirls but went for the green circle instead because it was advertised as UV - it isn't...
I wanted a 'Blue' atom shirt too, but they had sold out at Brixton. I then ordered one on the internet, but the print quality was rubbish, so I sent it back.
