Orbital

Description

Originally released in 1993, the ‘Brown Album’ defied expectations and had a significant genre and cultural impact – showcasing the duo’s scope and ambition. It was also met with widespread critical acclaim upon release, with NME awarding it 9/10 in their review, and it was chosen as one of Mixmag’s ‘best albums of all time’. The album’s blend of diverse influences and its rejection of conventional norms helped to solidify Orbital’s reputation as The Godfathers Of Rave, expanding the horizons of electronic music beyond local DJ nights. Over 30 years on, London Records re-release this genre defying album – loaded with 23 additional tracks – rarities and previously unreleased material, including ‘Live From the Limelight, New York 1992’. Also includes a hardback book containing unseen photos, a track-by-track by Phil and Paul Hartnoll + interviews and essays on the making of the album by esteemed music journalist Andrew Harrison, a slipmat and flyer recreations from the era.
