Unreleased Orbital Tracks

I am wondering if anyone knows if Orbital has any unreleased tracks. By unreleased I mean songs that Orbital mixed but did not like and decided to never put them on any sort of album. I know that there is the soundtrack to the TV series the Visit which is unavailable anywhere, but I am willing to bet Orbital has a number of songs that no one has heard.

As would I, unfortunately these tracks seem impossible to locate.

I very much doubt that any will evert surface. They do exist, but I would put a large amount of money on them never seeing the light of day for numerous reasons.

I think impossible is too strong of a word to use. I'd rather say extremely painstakingly difficult as a way to describe tracking down these unreleased songs.

Trust me, knowing where they are etc., they'll never see the light of day.
Just be thankful for what was released. Theres enough of it!

Yeah that information would certainely be useful. It seems that curiousity and eagerness to get ALL Orbital tracks has overcome my wish to just let them sit in a dirty cupboard somewhere.

That was a live set just before the Queen Elizabeth gig to promote 'The Middle of Nowhere'. I actually remember hearing about it on the radio at the time.
