Tell Me More about Orbital - I like Their Work!

'Techno' brothers from the south of England, they became very popular during the 'rave' era in the UK. Large gatherings of the great unwashed, in fields across the English and Welsh countryside, all 'dropping E', and speed (or, whizz, as it was also known) and dancing the nights away to electronic techno beats, until the riot police would arrive and break the party up! Hell, I loved it. Probably there best known pieces were 'Chime' and 'Satan'. The latter, contains a sample from the Butthole Surfers track, 'Sweat Loaf' from the 'Locust Abortion Technique' album. Whilst their recorded work did not achieve the recognition it deserved, they were favourites on the live music scene, with superb performances. Their ability to create an atmosphere was amazing, and they were one of the top of the bill acts at the 'Glastonbury Festival'. In the words of Amazon.com, people who purchased thhis artist also bought; 808 State (from Manchester), the KLF (Glasgow), the Shamen (Aberdeen), & Yello (Germany). The band was clearly influenced by the earlier work of such artists as Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, the Art of Noise & Propaganda. Takes me back to my nightclub DJing days. Time to get on Limewire, I suggest. All the best, and keep 'raving'!

I love it as a bit of a chillout. Snivilisation is one of my favourite albums and awesome just to have in the background when Im doing homework. Haven't heard anything new for a while?
