i actually think the Brown Album is awesome especially Lush, Impact & Halcyon......I don't think they will beat that Album but Wonky is very close!

I'm getting fb updates from a mate at the gig in London tonight Daz. She says they are rocking the funky house or some such urban language.

There's an app for that?

First time I saw them was at the Rocket on Holloway Road, with Psychick Warriors ov Gaia (UK debut). Think Banco de Gaia were on the bill too, been a long time though!

edit : Or the Drum Club, or Speedy J....

Yep, '92 or '93 at a guess.

Megadog were doing the side room, cracking night out!

First saw them at manchester megadog in 93, and was back there again 19 years later last thursday. Still absolute quality, wasnt too sure on the title track but it blew the place apart live ๐Ÿ˜€

Daddy, what does regret mean?
Son, the funny thing about regret is....

Didn't realise they were still going strong. How does the new album compare to Middle of Nowhere?

I was also at the Orbital gig at Leicester Uni in 94. The stage was on scafolding in the midle of the dance floor if I remember correctly. Uni days are a bit of a blur. Any way a few tracks off Wonky:-

Unless I'm mistaken, I think Orbital are playing Melbourne in May and based on the posts above I'll be buying a ticket shortly (if any available). Loved them circa the Brown album so I wonder if the audience will be made up of other 30-somethings.

Saw them at Glastonbury in 1994 - utterly brilliant. Trying to decide if seeing them again, substance free, would be the same.

O2 Priority have tickets on sale at the mo.
