Orbital: Belfast OR Halcyon?

There's no denying that these are both pretty special tracks, but which is the better? Halcyon tends to be remembered by many because it appeared on film soundtracks and on the ever-popular Brown Album, but Belfast, which is a lot less well-known (erk) seems to be the favourite of more comprehensive Orbital fans.

So, which do you prefer?

Belfast.

I gotta say Halcyon + On + On .. and I loved the track wayyy before I saw the movie Hackers .. to be honest when the song is heard in the movie .. that�s the best part of it .. well Opus III - It's A Fine Day has always been one off my fav

My fav is Chime, but since it's about between Halcyon & Belfast, i would have to say belfast

They've produced a million and one great tracks, so spare me your favourite Orbital track that isn't part of the topic.

Halcyon & On & On is like Belfast in full bloom. So I vote for that.

Too late

Belfast, Always feel relaxed when i hear the song.

Belfast is my favourite Orbital track, along with the Sasha vs The Light remix which without spoiling or surpassing the original, simply adds a new dimension to it.

My first Orbital track was The Box, which I <3. But I dunno which of the two I prefer.

Well they're both UNBELIEVABLE tracks, and i don't think anyone can possibly say anything to the contrary

However, my favourite (and favourite track of all time) is Halcyon.. it's truly special

Halycon+On+On

The Box kicks all these tunes into touch!

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Aug-27-2005 02:29:

Yes, but The Box sounds totally different. The point here is that these two are pretty similar tunes made by the same guys within two years of each other.

Belfast.

It's in my top 5 EDM tracks of all time.

Posted by Snooper on Aug-27-2005 03:23:

Both are great tracks, but Belfast gets my vote.

Belfast

i always thought halycon was overrated

Posted by Omega_Blue on Aug-27-2005 06:36:

belfast, because whenever i hear halcyon... i think of that CHEESY-ASS ENDING to Mortal Kombat. watch the movie again and you'll know what i'm talking about.

Posted by zshev on Aug-28-2005 11:49:

Eugh.. it was in Mortal Kombat?

Whenever I hear it I think of the cool beginning to Hackers. Great EDM soundtrack with that film

Belfast. It was the 2nd Orbital track i had heard 'til 1991 (along with Satan on the flipside of the vinyl) and blew me away. Still does that after all these years. Halcyon and it's +On +On album rework is good but Belfast has always meant more to me.
