something on Middle of Nowhere i dont know what is it.

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.

Sounds like a jokey namecheck, though he is credited with production on way out ->.

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?

I always guessed that he'd chipped in a few ideas during the recording of 'In Sides' and they'd forgotten to credit him for them on the sleeve, so they decided to drop him in on a humourous way on the next album (which he seemingly also worked on). I guess the Funky Pitch Bend idea is just the fact that a lot of the main melody notes in 'The Girl with the Sun in her Head' are pitch-bended...

This isnt a joke :) I know Phil and he is the very talented Schematix and Schizoid Man. If i remember right...Phil did contribute to the Girl with the Sun in her Head and they forgot to acknowledge/credit his help. SO they put it on the MON album. The warbling effect towards the end on TGWTSIHH i believe is Phil's contribution. I hope my memory serves me right.
