What is the Orbital Holy Grail?

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.

i've got it.. it's not that rare.

it pops up every now and then on ebay for about 5 - 10 pounds.

the magenta box with the video is much rarer
and cooler. :D
Ahhh that item was created by either Virgin or HMV. Think it was Virgin. It was going to be handed out to competition winners of some kind but it got pulled for some other random reason. The original "shoe box" (as we called it) had The Box CD, Box Video and In Sides album but one of the PR guys used to create a few alternatives when handing them out as promotional items.

All the remixes Orbital have done (in particular up until 95) collected together on one (remastered) release.

Plaid have done it, Aphex Twin have done it. Why can't Orbital do it? I'm dying to hear their early remixes which is more or less impossible to track down today.
