not bad at all.

patchwork guilt works very well, but yea it could develop further.

gloopy sounds almost plaid-ish... but i sure wish he'd do some more programming on the drums... he does manage to bring it all together pretty nicely towards the end, i have to sa -, I just think he should listen to some fresh idm artists out there to add some juice to the drums.

the album itself is destined to be a fun ride.

Well worth the wait!!!!!

Thought the two tracks were excellent - really like when Gloopy turns into "Way Out->'s" tranced-up wee brother....

Nice to see that he's finally got some bass on the drums as well...

Can't wait for the album - I think this is gonna kick some arse.

Finally heard them!
I must say they were both pretty excellent.
I'm really looking forward to the album!!!

I'll probably play at least one of these (prob 'Gloopy') at the Mutant night on the 28th...

Definitely in San Francisco too

Dog - no more pluging or diverting any of the threads into a plug. Its really offputting and slightly cringworthy annoying. stop it. ta

'Gloopy' has some Pooka-esque vocals in it... And also sounds like 'Technologicque Park' at the end too

I think 'gloopy' is a lot more interesting than 'Patchwork Guilt'. tbh 'patchwork' sounds a bit too obvious, too much 'what you would expect from one half of what used to be Orbital'.

i really like the sounds and tones in Gloopy though. there's a lot more going on in there.

Still think that 'Haven't we met before' is the best of the three we've heard so far. its the most emotive track of the three.

still excited about and eager to hear the album - when it arrives!

Press release here:

"Paul Hartnoll
Paul Hartnoll - ‘Patchwork Guilt’ (4th Dec 2006 on Kids)

Orbital – Paul Hartnoll and his brother Phil - were, without any risk of hyperbole, one of the most influential acts of all time, crossing the boundaries of dance and indie to achieve universal acclaim for their seminal albums “I (The Green Album)”, “II (The Brown Album)”, Snivilisation, curtain-closer “The Blue Album” and their epic singles Chime, Halcyon, Belfast, and Doctor. In addition, Orbital were a live force-of-nature, listed in Q magazine’s ’50 Bands to See Before You Die’ and triumphantly headlining Glastonbury as one of their farewell shows in 2004. Since deciding to go their separate ways, Paul, the younger of the Hartnoll brothers, has locked himself away in his Brighton studio, crafting his debut solo record. The results, a superb collision of filmic soundscapes, punk and, of course, rave and techno, featuring a host of guest performers, will be heard next year on Paul’s forthcoming album. ‘Patchwork Guilt’, along with B-side ‘Gloopy’, is the first glimpse of his solo work, and is released on limited, hand-stamped, orange vinyl 12” through the London-based indie label, KIDS on Monday 4th December 2006. This release comes hot on the heels of critically acclaimed sell-out singles by the likes of iLiKETRAiNS, The Whip, Mighty Six Ninety, The Wombats and Assembly Now."

Like the bit about the new album!
