Orbital - Halcyon (Best Of) - Album - out September?

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.

and who came up with the title?
i already got a cd called Halcyon..

i always thought it was a stupid idea to give a 'best of' album the title of a song..

Halcyon Days would make a good best of title - you know, the best days.

Clicking on the link to the record label "Wea" shows they do quite a lot of Best-Ofs. I suppose another Orbital Best Of won't hurt, but I guess there's not a lot of point in anybody here buying it. Though I would anyway.

It'll be the work of Record Companies - I suppose the good thing about it is that it won't be that much money (about 7 quid to start off with), and that it won't purely be singles (at least, the later 'Best Of' albums tend to be a mixture of single and album tracks).

I wouldn't have thought that either Paul or Phil would have any input into it, though... :?

Yeah, it'll be one of those annoying cheap best of things... happens all the time. Their most famous few songs, a few random things to fill it up, a cover that doesn't always fit in with the band's artwork. Only a license away from being a bootleg.

Hmm but for only £7 I'll buy it, plus it'll probably have OPS on it which Work doesn't...

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?
