William Orbit was always way ahead of his time. This was a better choice than my Massive Attack request. Cheers

Tom Waits before the cigarettes, booze and Bukowski spiritual takeover...

I wonder if Waits has ever done any Bukowski PO ems set to some smokey jazz.... That could be very good.

RP has a "sound"? I thought RP just plays good stuff you don't get to hear much anywhere else...silly me.

William Orbit, The Orb, Orbital.....are you seeing a theme here? That's right, wonderful music and very good times.

Great stuff....I like the post from Bone....hahaha. 

OH! A WIZE GUY, EH?!?!?

At the risk of sounding cliché, this has a really good groove to it. I like it. (My slob-disclaimer is:  I'm running a fever, so stuff just comes out uncensored.) I think William Orbit has a weird name, but it's catchy enough to make me not just write him off  He's got some pretty kewl music - I hope I get to hear more of it so I can make an educated decision regarding what to purchase when I make my first million on my book.

Or like the music in Spyro the Dragon games.  There's a reason for that: Stewart Copeland (of the Police) did the music for most of those games, and according to another poster, is one of the main samples here.

Sounds like Ton Loc???

I've not heard this in yonks and it's lush -  Reminds me of the Phoenix Festvial with my best friend, at the end of the set william orbit so in the throws of the music, chucked his bass guitar into the audience and it hit my poor friend square on the forehead!  Orbit was horrified and ran into the audience to mop up the blood himself. 

Well, I like the photo from the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland on the cover.

Otherwise, it's not quite as good as all the people he sampled to "create" this.

Translated version especially for lonestar:

Was one of the members of Torch Song, that made a great album, that NEVER resurfaced on CD, shame!

Faithless was still teething when this guy was pioneering electronic tunes with a number of albums, probably well over 100 remixes from the looks and his own label. If anything sounds Faithless, it's probably Faithless using tracing paper on Orbits shadow. While Insomnia was a pretty nice track for a month or so, I never heard anything fresh out of Faithless again.

Orbit on the other hand seems to be a much smaller version of Eno... he just touches things and they sound better. I hope he keeps busy!

BYE!      

I LOVE William Orbit...

Sounds like Faithless.

This is a mix using the Stewart Copeland music from "Rumble Fish"...love that movie

This is a pretty fun track with stacks of influences and samples. I love the Jean-Michel Jarre sample in the background. Thanks to RP for introducing me to Mr Orbit, who really is very interesting indeed. His website is quite neat, too, with lots of tracks and a nice fish on the front :o). 8 from the Nottingham jury.

I found that particular CD a little flat.  Perhaps my expectations were too high.  He does do a nice job on Barber's "Adagio for Strings", though.

What's this doing on the radio?
