Phil Hartnoll just outed Paul Hartnoll as being Gammon.

Man, this record still makes me so ecstatic. Adnan's is gorgeous, I'd forgotten what a pleasure it is to hear it.

Still one of the greatest albums ever recorded

there were some interesting tidbits in the twitter listening party: https://timstwitterlisteningparty.com/pages/replay/feed_143.html
also on this track we were approached by green peace to record a track powered by their solo lorry , so the whole thing was recorded using only the power of the sun. A fitting tribute to Sally indeed . Cricky I’m welling up just writing this down now after all that time.— Orbital (@orbitalband) May 15, 2020
has there been an artist poll for orbital?

talking about The Box:
I did get to meet John Barry when we were interviewed together at his house once. he was asked if he'd heard this and he said ' yesss, its hardly the persuaders is it " OUCH! love him the straight talking yorkshire man!— Orbital (@orbitalband) May 15, 2020

yeah the green peace tidbit is in the liner notes and added to the album's "wow"-ness at the time for me

I've been listening to it a lot in the car. It's such a great driving record. I've been extending journeys to let it wash over me.

still don't think there's another piece of electronic music like "Out There Somewhere"

this must've been the first album they used live drumming on? i don't see anything in the credits on green/brown/snivilisation. i do vaguely recall halcyon drum programming credited to somebody else but can't find it now.
