    Orbital 30

    in New & Upcoming Releases

    Posted

    Sounds like an interesting release, if it did come with one of the discs being a whole new album would be a real bonus, probably too much to hope for.

    I think the album disc will happen. Just not sure about the remix disc. Fingers crossed ?

    Orbital 30

    in New & Upcoming Releases

    Posted

    In an Orbital video, Paul Hartnoll was talking about his studio equipment and there was some interesting info in the background on his planner and it's related to Orbital's 30th Anniversary next year and the plans for a release and here's what it said.

     

    So on the far left:

     

    Orbital 30

    re-record

     

    Halcyon

    Chime

    Belfast

    Lush

    Impact

    Satan

    The Box

     

    = this is Orbital's idea they've had for a while now - to re-record, in the studio, the classic tracks as they are being played live now. So this is essentially a live style disc.

     

    This will be 10 tracks for this disc. So there are still a few more to add to this list. I would imagine possible candidates for the last remaining spots: Forever, TGWTSIHH, Are We Here?, Doctor?, Crime, Sad But True (although think this is an outside chance), The Moebius (slim chance), OTS (but probably too long for the 10 tracks needed to fit on the disc)...not sure if there might also be some other candidates but these are the ore recent current tracks that have been in the live sets over last few years.

     

    The middle panel:

     

    Emergency Exit

    Escape Hatch

    Escape From Dartford

     

    The End There Will (not sure whats written underneath that)

     

    Now the top three are working titles for the next new album. The one that Paul has talked about taking Phil back to significant places to Orbital's growth./development over the years and he has taken field recordings from these places to include them as sounds making up this next new album.

     

    The final bottom right panel:

     

    Orbital 30

    remixes

     

    Utah Saints

    Bicep

    Aphex Twin

    Chemical Brothers

    Underworld

    Leftfield

    Prodigy

    David Holmes

    Vince Clarke

     

    not sure if there is one more name under that but again this will be 10 tracks for this disc. So this is Orbital's idea to have some of their peers remix some classic tracks of theirs. Now this is an ambitious one and we've heard from P+P over the last few dates of the December tour that this is proving difficult as some people are too busy. This is an idea they might've needed to plan for a bit earlier. So not sure what will happen with this if they can get this organised or will have to come up with a new idea for this disc or a combination of who they can get to do a remix and then some other idea?

     

    Now I think there will obviously be a third disc of 10 tracks (to make 30 tracks total) but at this point I don't know what this disc will be.

    The other possibility is that they include the new album as that third disc but I'm not convinced that will be the way they go with putting that new material out.

     

    So that's everything so far. It's an exciting set of ideas, and I'm dying to know what is going to be on that third disc but I think that they may not be able to pull off the remixes disc. Which could be the most interesting of all the discs if they managed to get that 5 star list of artists.
