Yeah same here! Still have never been fortunate enough to see them.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 13 October 2023 20:12 (seven months ago) link
I was fortunate to see them around 92 when they had the tower set up in the middle of the floor and the headlights and Belinda Carlisle/Bon Jovi drops. And also a few times at Glastonbury. Saw them again on the Wonky tour and, suffice to say, they were no longer the only bald people in the room

vinyl reissues finally happening:
https://orbital.tmstor.es/#main_menu
so far it's just Green but they say the rest are coming. track list looks different...what is "Macro Head"??
― frogbs, Tuesday, 23 January 2024 14:35 (four months ago) link
Macro Head was on the original vinyl releasehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj42b9M1fXI

oh god the screaming!!!
actually come to think of it I haven't heard "Steel Cube Idolatry" or "High Rise" either, though I know they were on the UK release. glad to see "Belfast" is at the end...for whatever reason the US version puts it as track #1, which is very bizarre
wonder if future reissues are gonna have bonuses too - imagine a 4xLP In Sides with full versions of The Box & the Times Fly EP, plus "The Saint" ? oh hell yeah

looks like the Green/Brown show is coming to Chicago? I might have to make the drive for that, dunno how many chances I'm gonna get to see them
― frogbs, Friday, 26 January 2024 21:08 (three months ago) link
Only just found out they're including Brown and delighted having already a ticket for the London show
― nashwan, Friday, 26 January 2024 21:13 (three months ago) link
Oof gotta shell out for this. Can't remember the last time they were here and don't know when they'll be back again.

I couldn't really afford the Bristol ticket but once I saw Brown was included that was it.
― you can see me from westbury white horse, Saturday, 27 January 2024 04:40 (three months ago) link
but... there's only one "Green & Brown set" on this list? Everything else is still the Green tour?

The UK dates are all Green/Brown.
― mike t-diva, Saturday, 27 January 2024 13:39 (three months ago) link
No chance I'm gonna get to see them this tour but I might be the rare Orbital fan who wouldn't be excited at all to see them do Green. Brown on the other hand...
― Vinnie, Saturday, 27 January 2024 18:34 (three months ago) link
I'd take a Snivilisation show for its 30th anniversary while we're at it.
― nashwan, Saturday, 27 January 2024 19:21 (three months ago) link
okay who's going to the Chicago show? apparently it's not gonna be a Green/Brown show which is fine by me, they have killer tracks throughout their catalogue
― frogbs, Monday, 19 February 2024 19:02 (three months ago) link
I am in for Chicago! Looking forward to it.

Just noticed that the remastered version of the Chime 12" is out today on streaming services
Hope that means we'll start to see their other singles appearing soon, as was mentioned in that interview a couple of years ago
― groovypanda, Friday, 23 February 2024 18:29 (three months ago) link
this one? that was only last year

No, it was from an interview back in 2021 when they were talking about the new deal they'd signed

Remastered Green album out today. 6 hours (!) across 5 discs!Looking forward to digging in
― groovypanda, Friday, 19 April 2024 05:58 (one month ago) link
I was sad about how long I was going to have to wait for my CDs to show up until I realized this was likely on streaming platforms as well
― Cemetry Gaetz (DJP), Friday, 19 April 2024 14:48 (one month ago) link
Ok. How the fuck have I never heard this Belfast/Wasted track before!?
― groovypanda, Friday, 19 April 2024 15:10 (one month ago) link
the Best Of comp of the anthology series it came from was named after it!
― bae (sic), Friday, 19 April 2024 15:36 (one month ago) link
Yeah saw that. Have still got.all the Trance Europe Express CDs but think I only had the first Volume one
― groovypanda, Friday, 19 April 2024 15:37 (one month ago) link
is there a standalone vinyl release for this?
― frogbs, Friday, 19 April 2024 16:29 (one month ago) link
double vinyl yeshttps://orbital.tmstor.es/
― StanM, Friday, 19 April 2024 16:31 (one month ago) link
oh cool, wonder if US distributors will carry this, as shipping to America is probably gonna be as much as the album itself
wonder if the rest of the catalogue is getting this kind of treatment, I mean imagine a 4xLP In Sides with Times Fly and The Saint and the full version of The Box. I'd buy that for a dollar.
― frogbs, Friday, 19 April 2024 16:33 (one month ago) link
Ha, I was just thinking about it randomly the other day. (Got the Volume CDs as they came out, as much as I could.)

Remastered Green album out today. 6 hours (!) across 5 discs!
where are you seeing 5 disks? there are 4 CD and 4 LP editions.
and now they are offering "Green Album Expanded Digital Download" for £34.99 which basically adds 12 remixes, and i've got an email offering £5 off (after spending over a hundred on the CD/LP editions), while you can get the exact same thing on bandcamp for €20.
i'm totally okay with supporting orbital, but with the limited drops / shipping cost to canada and this kind of "promotions" it really feels like a cash grab.

As you've mentioned the Bandcamp option:

Performance of those first two albums last night in London as great as you'd expect (one v minor criticism would be perhaps it was a bit too by the book at times where you might expect a little longer versions of 'Chime', 'Impact' and 'Belfast' otherwise). A few of the Brown tracks ('Impact', 'Remind' and 'Halcyon' really seemed to have extra layers or textures in them I picked up on anew). Really enjoyed hearing some particular tracks for my first time ever live ('Midnight', 'Walk Now', 'Monday'). 'Satan' visuals in the encore threw in some shots of Liz Truss and Theresa May for lols and right at the end they did get particularly animated about needing a revolution.
