I have a creeping feeling that no one finds this at all interesting except for me

Jimmy Cauty of the KLF was a founding member of The Orb, and did that "Doctorin' The Tardis" thing as the Timelords, heavily sampling the Dr Who theme. Orbital did a song which heavily sampled the Dr Who theme on that one album. I think the version I have has two versions actually.

I coulda sworn two of these three planned some sort of collaboration at some point that eventually fell through, but I can't seem to find anything about it.

you'd have thought that the shamen would be one band that all had some involvement with.of course, orbital was involved with en-tact era, but so far cant find any orb/orbit remixes which given the sheer number of remixes the shamen released is quite something.

Apparently WO did a remix of "Hyperreal"?

The ShamenThe US release of 1990 album En-Tact contains a mix from both Willaim Orbit, with "Hyperreal (Orbit - Early Fade)", and Orbital, with "Hear Me O My People (Mix by Orbital)"
We've found yet another release with two out of three!

hurrah. good spot. (i did try .. )its kind of weird that they were into their dub-electronica groove and never called upon dr alex for a mix.another gang would be PWEI : same period, same love for remixes.i know they were remixed by the orb for the remix album (http://www.discogs.com/Pop-Will-Eat-Itself-Two-Fingers-My-Friends/release/65983), but so far been unable to find any orbital/orbit mixes.

Nothing from PWEI. I'm really impressed we came up with 5 or 6, though!

I did think Beth Orton's album she did with William Orbit ended up as a dry-run for the Madonna one.

I can certainly attest to this confusion. For example, back in 1997 I bought this compilation, which has one track with an "Orbital Mix" and another one with an "Orbital Remix", but the the first one is Orbital and the second one by The Orb.

Here's a Wendy & Lisa remix 12" featuring William Orbit and The Orb (with Youth), but googling isn't finding me any Orbital connections:http://www.discogs.com/Wendy-Lisa-Re-Mix-In-A-Carnation/release/86933
Never heard it, I was actually looking up someone else I thought might be a connection (but it seems isn't) when that came up.
This thread has made me realise that an "Orbital remix" of Sun Electric I'd thought for years was by Orbital is actually by the Orb.

Did they 'desist' using "Orbital" as a remix monika?
They both became 'famous' around the same time, The Orb slightly ahead.
