The Orbital Bothers are back. I thought they'd split up??? I cant keep up. Do they just reform to play festivals?? Who knows but they have a new 12" out. I swear the female vocal snatch is from Buggles' 'Video Killed The Radio Star'. As you'd expect the production is super glossy and there are some very nice sounds. It's a floor friendly number that's gonna appeal to a few of the older heads along with the trendier sort of electro house kids. There's plenty going on with crowd pleasing breakdown, just edging on the sinister but mostly euphoric. There's robotic vocoder vocals too and a butt shaking groove. This is possibly a little too polished for my personal tastes but it's proof that these guys know how to get all the right ingredients for a track that will no doubt be tearing up all the festivals this year.
Orbital will be releasing their first new material since 2004. 'Don't Stop Me' and 'The Gun is Good' will be released as a Limited edition 12” on 27th June. These tracks represent the signature Orbital sound, with hints of new elements, and definitely a few surprises, signifying a band still at their creative peak, 20 years since the release of their breakthrough debut single, 'Chime'. Orbital will be returning to their spiritual home and closing the Other Stage at Glastonbury Festival on Sunday 27th June. It follows the band being named 2009 Best Live Act by DJ magazine and playing to over 350,000 people last summer. Until reforming last year, Orbital at Glastonbury 1994, was for many electronic music fans the live highlight of the decade and was rated as one of the Top 50 gigs of all time by Q Magazine. It was where they bowed out in a blaze of glory in 2004 having played there a total of five times. It seems appropriate that they headline the Other Stage on this 40th Anniversary of Glastonbury. Besides Glastonbury, they are confirmed to play Isle Of Wight Festival in June having already headlined at Coachella and Miami Ultra festival this year.
