BEST HN THREAD EVER (and WOW is that an essential explanation of the first two Orbital albums)

is this where we talk about

- the 39:59 mix of The Orb’s “Blue Room” (which, like several other Orb singles, is better than the album version thanks to Jah Wobble providing a proper bassline)

- the academically-verified lack of repetitiveness in Autechre’s “Flutter”

- and Orbital’s “Criminal Justice Bill?” on the “Are We Here” CD single, which is four minutes of silence




Funny thing about Blue Room, but that was the first time I had ever heard of Haile Selassie, then I was told that sample is a comedy bit from a prank call or whatever.

The Orb Live '93 CD was one of those that if a CD could wear out like a cassette, that would have been one (two technically) that would have from my collection.
