Excellent Smiley! Thanks for that. I was wondering about a handful of "Orbital" & "Orbital House" mixes out there. I didn't *think* this was a mix they did. Having said that, I heard a sample of the 12" and I can swear it's in a mix somewhere. Just can't remember which on right now. If anyone happens to care, here's the sample: http://www.oldskoolringtones.co.uk/22423.wma ///me

nope - the "orbital" refers to the "orbital rave scene" of the time - parties were always held close to the M25 motorway that circles London...

...which is known as the London Orbital Motorway, and is where Orbital got their name from.

although, confusingly, there are a number of orb/lx mixes from 1989/90 that do use the term "orbital" - this was dropped as soon as Orbital the band became well-known.

cheers,

Hey all!

Can anyone confirm if this is actually an early Orb mix?
