PRE-ORDER/SAVE
ORBITAL: A BEGINNER’S GUIDE Available on LP, CD and digitally on November 8, A Beginner’s Guide is the perfect introduction to the groundbreaking musical world of Orbital. For both the new and the initiated, A Beginner’s Guide provides the key moments in the seminal career of the UK electronic music duo composed of brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll.
A one-stop-shop for Orbital which spans the breadth of their 30-year plus catalog, A Beginner’s Guide traverses everything from their early chart hits ‘Chime,’ ‘Belfast’ and ‘Halcyon,’ fan favorites such as ‘Lush 3.1,’ soundtrack moments like ‘Beached’ (their collaboration with film score maestro Angelo Badalamenti) and more recent cuts like ‘Ringa Ringa’ and ‘Dirty Rat’ (with Sleaford Mods). The CD version features five further tracks (including ‘Doctor?’, their breaks-flecked version of the Doctor Who theme) in addition to the eleven featured on the vinyl version. Both formats are housed in newly commissioned sleeves inspired by the designs and illustrations of 1970s technical manuals created by Julian House at Intro, a long term Orbital collaborator, plus new sleeve notes.
Since reuniting with London Records, Orbital have released the 2022 anthology 30 Something, which contained reworks, remakes, remixes and re-imaginings of their many landmark tracks, and last year’s critically acclaimed studio album Optical Delusion which gave Orbital their first UK Album Chart Top 10 album since 1999’s Middle Of Nowhere.
Earlier this year Orbital reissued their eponymous 1991 debut album, known as The Green Album, to great acclaim. The accompanying ‘Green + Brown Album Tour’ saw Orbital headline shows across the globe including festival performances in New York City, Chicago, rousing festival sets at Coachella and Miami’s Ultra Festival and a rapturously received performance at Glastonbury, where they were joined by special guests Melanie C and Tilda Swinton as they celebrated 30 years since their landmark 1994 performance.
The Green + Brown Album Tour resumes later this fall with upcoming US dates at The Medway in San Francisco on November 16 and at Austin, TX’s Seismic Dance Event on November 17, where they will play alongside guests including other dance and electronic legends, Carl Cox, Eric Prydz, Disclosure and Gesaffelstein. The tour continues into 2025 with European dates culminating in a London show at O2 Academy Brixton on April 5.
