any Orbital rumours?

[J1mbo]

Nightmare scheduling. I'm going to try not to think about it. But going to see Blur over the Prodigy last year was the best decision I've ever made at Glastonbury.

Paul only ever bobbed the aul head. Phil's ravey-wavey moves are endearing however.

Orbital geeks are gonna hate me for saying this but they need to drop "One Perfect Sunrise" from the setlist. Its dull as dishwater.

"Crash & Carry" should be brought back on the other hand.

well if it makes you feel any better i think faithless are infinitely worse than orbital... although with that 'dont stop me now' cheesarama sampling they're rapidly catching up... somebody please stop them now!

I know what you mean, ive heard them play the same and its so frustrating, one of the most beautiful dance tunes is destroyed by the miami sound machine!!!

when i saw them last year it was the first time i'd ever saw them. Then they started halcyon and i was lovin it. Then i thought i heard heaven is a place on earth. I thought that can't be right, then i heard that awful bon jovi song aswell. I then relised they were mixing them into halcyon. Stupid. Why do that. Ruin a perfect tune with utter rubbish pop stuff. That was the low point of the gig, the rest of it was great.

I think they used to shoe-horn the Darkness in there too.

I've heard a rumour about Orbital that they've been practicising jumping up and down and waving their hands in the air in time with one another. Surely this amazing feat will put the final nail in the coffin of whether to go and see them or Stevie?

[J1mbo]

yeh i read that has been used. i dunno what must go through their heads when they decide to include them.

tis good news for me,the way i was looking at it was seeing stevie and slightly gambling on a good night what with sound/ voice etc etc or seeing faithless for a defo good night but now orbital woo hoo , u know your in for a mint night guaranteed

er oh f*** does that make sense

point im making is after brucey last year is stevie worth gambling on but end of the day its f***** orbital so thats where ill be,soz stevie maybe another time

now what do we do about this travelodge sunday night sketch , dont suppose we'll be getting much sleep now with orbital on

[WS_Jack_III]

So does anyone else think that Orbital didn't play last year because they had already agreed to do the 40th year?

[LusciousLucy]

Good question but tbh, it was probably more about the big monies last year. 'We dont want to do Glasto cos its too commercial' and then they play at Global!

You do realise they have been doing this mash up since the mid 90s...the new version though unfortunately is pretty terrible compared to what they always did before. I love the 90s-end of first era version, even with the Darkness addition...partly because the Darkness sample matches the Belinda Carlisle one perfectly and I can sing the backwards Heaven is Place on Earth nearly perfect

Its my lasting memory of Glasto 04, singing the tune backwards with my darling ex boyfriend with the pair of us crying our eyes out thinking we would never see them again.

Orbital should start their set with "Deeper" this year. That shit is relentless.
