Biography

Undefeated champions of British electronic music, Orbital get back in the ring in 2012 with Wonky, their first new album in eight years. Recently reunited following a long sabbatical, Paul and Phil Hartnoll are back on fighting-fit form and ready to reclaim their title as lightheaded lords of the dance arena. Both timeless and contemporary, heartwarming and exhilarating, Wonky puts a vividly… Read more in Amazon's Orbital Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Paul and Phil Hartnoll, the two brothers who make up Orbital, work in a no-frills, self-contained way. Ever since their scene-defining rave theme "Chime", they have started each recording from scratch, making albums of variety, vitality and dedication. This, their fourth album, is no more conventional than the rest (six individual, unrelated soundscapes, including one track that lasts 30 minutes), but was popular enough to reach No. 3 in the UK album charts on release in April 1996. Opener "The Girl With The Sun In Her Head" is affectionate and tender, "Dwr Budr" scary, and "Out There Somewhere" is hedonistically full-on, showcasing their extravagant, gleeful layering of sound and textures. Best heard at 3am, very loud, preferably in the open air. --Charlie Porter

From Amazon.com

The Hartnoll brothers remain the great hope of ambient techno--sleeker, smarter, and way more dynamic than the rest. The duo's third full-length disc is a sonically splendid variant Snivilisation (1994). --Jeff Bateman

Flawless. 20 Nov 1999
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This album has everything. From the Magnificently beautiful The Girl With The Sun In Her Head, to the haunting 24-minute marathon Out there somewhere, In Sides is a deeply emotional piece of music that deserves to go down in history as one of the greatest electronic albums ever.

In Sides is, in my humble opinion, Orbital's best album. It really is as simple as that. I could go on listing reasons why it is so great, but there are plenty of reviews that do that already. Instead I am going to concentrate on the Bonus CD that comes with this American import.

It should also be noted that with this version comes a bonus a CD, which features the following:

1. Satan (Industry Standard)
2. Satan (Live in New York City)
3. The Saint
4. The Sinner
5. Halcyon (Live)

I don't know why the track listing on amazon doesn't say this, but believe me, it does come with the CD.

Satan is one of Orbital's best songs, especially live and now that Orbital have split up, this bonus CD is a great chance to catch such a rare track. This CD features both the non-live and a longer live version.

The Saint is the theme music from the movie The Saint, you've probably heard it and most newer versions of In Sides feature it anyway. However, it doesn't really fit in with the first CD of In Sides, it's much better kept seperate here on the bonus CD.

The Sinner is an alternative version of The Saint, it's rather nice, especially for a bonus CD.

Halcyon is fantastic, everyone who knows anything about Orbital has heard of Halcyon. This version is live and as such, features the Bon Jovi and Belinda Carlisle mash-up at the end. Again, you'll probably struggle to find this version anywhere else.

I usually go out of my way to buy versions of an album with bonus CDs, but they tend to be nothing special and go neglected. I can honestly say this is the first bonus CD that is actually worth the extra effort to get a hold of.
When you consider that the price of this American import is the SAME PRICE as the UK edition (at the time of writing) with NO EXTRAS, it seems insane to pass it up.

Best. Album. Ever. 21 Dec 2007
Format:Audio CD
This is the greatest album ever written.

'The Box' and 'Out There Somewhere? Pt.2' are two of the greatest pieces of music ever written.

If you don't agree then, quite simply, music - it's not for you.

P.S. Don't get 'In Sides' with 'The Saint' tacked onto the end, it completely ruins the finale.
