i know they're two different bands (with probably nothing to do with each other except that it's electronica and the similar names), but i suddenly remembered liking a track i had heard some time ago by one of them (memory too blurry to remember which one). so i'm starting this topic, which is kind of bad and stupid because its title is likely to trick people into believing they're related now. sorry about that. anyway. can you tell me about them? |
||||||||

first of all: Orbital was 2 brothers. Orb is not 2 brothers. What was the track you heard, btw ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
P.E.T.R.O.L. by Orbital. (there was also Funny Break (One Is Enough) on Wipeout Fusion but it was very probably a remix... and a loopable version anyway.) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well, i can talk about Orbital. is that ok ? though i don't know their biography. I like most of their stuff except the very very old, not quite developed yet those two tracks, yeah, ok...a, Petrol is from In-Sides, it's my fav Orbital album. Too bad i couldn't hear it played live. |

||||||||
|
|

|

||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
layo & bushwacka! did a copule of remixes of funny break. they are both excellent and worth checking if you are not familiar with them. |

If I had to pick albums, I'd say Orbital's Snivilisation & In Sides, and The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld. I quite fancy the new Orb album too. Sadly Orbital have quit, even though Paul Hartnoll (one of the brothers) has provided a few tracks for Wipeout Pure etc. |

dwr budr was the track on that charity album? |

i started my adventure into Orb when i found Orb "Live '93" 2cd in a second-hand-full-of-heavy-metal-stuff-shop. I don't know how the album got there. When i asked the owner to play the album and he did - i could see one of the most bored faces ever. He was happy he got rid of it, i was happy i got it almost for free. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|

just in case you don't know, the last Orbital show is available somewhere near Loopz site, along with the last single/video, featuring Lisa Gerrard on vocals. |
||||||||

last night me and a bunch of friends were watching mortal kombat (ON DVD) and that track hacylon + on + on came on and i realized that i am a grown man who doesnt know the difference between orbital and the orb and i'm perfectly ok with that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You don't know the difference between The Orb and Orbital, even though that's like saying "Cheese, Eggs... they all come from a farm, right?" And you wonder why no one gives a shit about breakcore? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know them thanks to you... they are great |
||||||||
|
|

The Orb > William Orbit |
||||||||
|

I dont really think so... eventhough I like them more |
||||||||
|
|

I only found out recently that Little Fluffy Clouds samples Steve Reich. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Orb is realy just one guy who does loads of collaborating stuff. Orbital are slightly better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll get the brown album for a start, i think. : ) |

The Orb is strictly speaking not just "one guy who does loads of collaborating stuff." I mean, Alex Paterson is surely the driving force, but the original The Orb were Paterson & Jimi Cauty (of The KLF fame). Most of the original The Orb alà 1988-1990 was their work. In the early 90's it was mostly Paterson + Kris Weston ("Thrash"). Then Paterson teamed up with Thomas Fehlmann for several albums, and with whom he's now released this year's excellent "Okie Dokie It's The Orb on Kompakt", with loads of additional hand in the mix. But the Fehlmann part of the equation is pretty stable, and not just a passing collaboration. It's true, though, that Orbital were much more of a "compact" duo, with a clear division of labour. As for who's "BETTER"... I couldn't say. I generally enjoy Orbital more, but The Orb have some highly intricate and more trippy stuff. The Orb>William Orbit |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, on UFOFF the badge shows "patterson, fehlmann, hughes" - they are the three "main guys" i suppose william orbit sux. adagio for strings, he didnt actually write it, you fools. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
william orbit was great when he made the bass-o-matic album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
= both Orb and Orbital are great, yeah. and btw Orbit > Wrigley's Spearmint |
||||||||
|
|

I love both bands but they are nothing alike. Over the years I've probably been more of an Orbital fan simply because their stuff is easier to listen to. The Orb usually takes more patience and attention to detail. Nevertheless I have quite a few releases by each of them, and I might even say I like the Orb better.. he's/they're just so bizarre and imaginative. p.s. The Orb actually samples Reich twice, at least. In one of the Peel Sessions there is a great version of OOBE that uses another sample from different movement of Electric Counterpoint (the piece sampled in Little Fluffy Clouds). Either Alex Paterson was hard up for samples or he's a huge Reich fan. |
