THE NAKED AND THE DEAD

lol. i knew there would be a reaction to the tracklisting. always is.

This is a release for the newbies, the people who like remixes and those who want a track or two of unreleased live material. For the likes of the majority of people who frequent the forum, it's going to be questionable but for new Orbital fans i think this sums up the history very well. 20 tracks for 20 years. Believe me, that track listing was debated a lot....

That's all really to say on it at the moment. I'm just glad Orbital are back out there!

What about the Zabiela Remix of "Impact" Loopz? Is that truely only gonna be an extra track with iTunes version of the album?

final track listing for 20 is on News page and that remix is only available via iTunes. all correct at time of writing (disclaimer )

Rhino release a lot of the Warners archive stuff don't they?
Fair point about 20 being a great intro for new fans, but to play Devils Advocate, couldn't they have done a bit more for the long timers???


Again your right Loopz - it is great that they are back!

I guess you have to put yourself in the various people's shoes and think what market you would want to aim for if you were them. Personally i would be selfish and get a release that is geared towards me but that wouldnt really sum up Orbital's history though. What are we trying to achieve with Twenty? The tracklist has to be geared around that...

There is one other thing i want to say but best check a couple of things first.

exclusive itunes tracks are never a good thing bah humbug.

I'm just glad The Naked and the Dead and Sad But True are on there... despite the naysayers, I rank the latter track definitely as a "career highlight". But it's impossible to please everybody with a best of compilation. At least there's some interesting variety here, plus Tom's remix is a gem.

If you don't like any of the three (!!) best of compilations out there, you can just do as I did, and make your own.

Erm, yeah?!

Erm, yeah?!

Well we know what the remixes and live mixes are, so what are the new mixes?

Well, unless they've been missed out on an obscure release somewhere ( ), these are new mixes!

HALCYON (TOM MIDDLETON RE-MODEL)
LUSH (HERVE’S ‘TREE AND LEAF’ REMIX)
James Zabiela's mix of 'Impact'

I thought HALCYON (TOM MIDDLETON RE-MODEL) LUSH (HERVE’S ‘TREE AND LEAF’ REMIX) James Zabiela's mix of 'Impact' were the remixes not the new mixes. Oh well.

Are we dealing with nothing but sematics here? What qualifies as a new mix and not merely a re-mix? And what difference does it make? Or is just all sophistry by labels to sell records?
