I'm a real sucker for hammered dulcimer - it always adds a little frisson exotique to a piece.

'everybody' likes all the coolest music! 

this song is interesting too.. it begs the question: what's inside the box?  is an opened or closed box?  perhaps locked even?

Nice inclusion, Bill.
 
I also love all the crazy raver things I did when this kind of electronica was popular.
These were good years with a lot of dancing (and glow sticks — ugh) with imaginary balls. Heh.

heh, and this is only part 2 of the song.  Bill skipped all of part 1!

But what's surprising me is that Bill doesn't have any of the Orbital tunes that featured vocals by Alison Goldfrapp (Nothing Left parts 1 & 2, Are We Here?, or Sad But True).

Always like Orbital, though I'm surprised RP doesn't have Halcyon On+On, seems like a perfect fit.

They wrote The Saint theme. When you bought their album "In-sides" as a double disc cd, you either got "the box" remix or the saint remix.

Edit: Checked my copies...One has Times fly versions with a 28 minute Box extended, the other has Satan live and the killer Halcyon live NYC version. Orbital geek...sorry

The whole album was created around that message. The first song was recorded only with solar power. The album is excellent by the way, one of my all-time favourites. It's best digested as a whole and it does take a few listens before it reveals how good it is.

 

Cool!  I did not know that...  I will have to order the CD here online and check it out...
