I have recently come across a song called Blue Illusion by Orbital, and I know that this has been established to be an illegitimate song, but it is on a CD compilation called "Nutn But Orbital" and all the other songs on the CD are legitimate. Here is the link that I recently came across http://www.gracenote.com/music/album.ht ... e9f35.html. Can someone explain for me please?

Yeah, some muppet has downloaded a load of songs from Soulseek, thought they'd make a cheap compilation and hasn't actually checked to see if all the tracks are genuine...

From the FAQ:

Q

"What is the "Blue Illusion" track? There is a song called "Blue Illusion" by a group called Orbital. Is it the SAME Orbital as in Paul and Phil Hartnoll.

A

No ... its definatly not an ORBITAL release and Phil and Paul never wrote it. Someone else is using the Orbital name it appears. Ive listened to the track and if i remember correctly it was very upbeat.
A visitor to the site was kind enough to send me an email with more information on this question. MobileOak stated "The actual song is from a compilation called "Behind the Eye" and it is Volume 2 in the series. The song is actually done by Stevie Be Zet".
The track can be found on a compilation album released by the German based EyeQ record label (established by Sven Vath, Heinz Roth and Matthias Hoffman). The compilation is called Behind the Eye Vol II and the track Stevie Be Zet - "Blue Illusion (Flat Horizon Mix) (7.45)" is the 10th track on the CD. "

Yes I had read that QA article as I mentioned in my previous post, I just wanted to make sure that the http://www.gracenote.com posting was wrong.

Yup, essentially Gracenote is a CD database that depends on data being uploaded by users. Some of these can be homemade CD-R compilations, but the vast majority are normal CD's.

In this case, it's definitely a home-made compilation/bootleg, as evidenced by the Blue Illusion track.

HTH,
