About

Orbital is the first album from Orbital, released in 1991. It is often referred to as the "Green Album", to differentiate it from the band's second album, titled Orbital 2 (known as the "Brown Album"), which bears only the band's name on the cover. The original United Kingdom release includes live versions of "Chime" and "Midnight". Orbital was released in 1992 with a significantly different cover and tracklist in the United State, incorporating remixes and non-album single. All tracks on the U.S. release had also been remastered using the Bedini Audio Spectral Enhancer (B.A.S.E.) to enhance their stereophonic effect. Samples used include: "The Moebius" samples the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Time Squared". "Oolaa" samples the Martian cry from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds musical. "Desert Storm" samples the "Blessing of the Bomb Almighty" from Beneath the Planet of the Ape. "Satan" samples Time Zone's "The Wildstyle" and Butthole Surfers song "Sweat Loaf" from the album Locust Abortion Technician. "Choice" samples the Crucifix song "Annihilation" .
