I think it deserves a thread, this classic among classics, seminal space techno album and personal favorite of mine.
Lush 3-1, Lush 3-2, Impact, Remind.  |

My fav Orbital album too!
Impact is probably my fav from it. Especially the reworked version Impact USA released on single and EP is damn brilliant.
Kinda funny for the intro they reused the "time becomes a loop" bit from the Star Trek sample they already used in Moebius on Green Album. |

One of the best electronic artist albums of all time. It has an utterly perfect flow. I have a theory that the album follows a loose narrative of an all-night rave: it starts off in the day with brighter tracks like Planet of the Shapes and Lush, gets darker in the night phase with Remind and Walk Now and climaxes at sunrise with Halcyon & On & On. It basically encapsulates the structure and mood of a whole party on one album.
I also love how it fuses techno, acid and rave influences with the more idiosyncratic electronic sounds that define Orbital to make it a very dancey album that still has their unique flavour. |

Yep, I <3 orbital:toothless Maybe we should just keep this as a sticky, and whenever ((insert flavour of the month))is mentioned refer people back to it?
Self promotion: In fact, coincidentally, the final track in the mix in my sig is actually.... Halcyon+on+on! |

He meant "David Gray - Please Forgive Me (Paul Hartnoll Mix(es))". Paul did 2 mixes which are like 99.9% the same with each other and at least some promos do feature the mixes titled in various forms.. "Orbital Mix" and "Paul Hartnoll (Orbital) Mixes". |
