Kind of a weird thing to do after starting off so anti-commercial.The original mix is still pretty catchy for me. It would be nice to see them make some more hits, really love their older stuff.

Have they ever really been "anti-commercial"? They were moody bastards on Top Of The Pops when they "performed" Chime in 1990, but they went on the show in the first place presumably to help them sell more records. They've also done things like The Saint and Satan Spawn which were fairly commercial enterprises. I see this as essentially being a joke, and Orbital always fitted into the tradition of British electronic pranksters (see The KLF, The Shamen, The Orb, Autechre's Flutter EP and so on).

Also, their last album really wasn't bad at all. I certainly think New France is up there with some of their best material, particularly this mix:

Looking back on it they never really were. I think most people in the US were familiarized with Orbital from the Mortal Kombat movie.

By the way, I've meaning to track down that Middleton mix of 'New France'. Only place I've seen it is on iTunes and I hate buying from them(bitrates are a tossup)
