Orbital for Belfast

You can catch the electronic giants in Ulster Hall this November.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 12 Oct 2012

Having played a blinder at the Electric Picnic – both on stage and beforehand in the Hot Press Chatroom – Orbital are Ulster Hall-bound on November 10 as part of Belfast Music Week.

Joining them for what promises to be a supremely bangin’ night are Space Dimension Controller, Mmoths, Defcon, Kab Driver and local hero Phil Kieran. Tickets are €29.50 and go on sale on Monday October 15.

The Hartnolls and the city go way back, with David Holmes’ Sugarsweet one of their fave ‘90s haunts and the epic 8m 6sec ‘Belfast’ making it onto their debut album.

It's an intimate one in the Tripod.

Perhaps I’m placing too many expectations upon the nine tracks that made the final cut, but suffice it to say that were it not for nostalgic value, this might well have been the album the discography forgot. Die-hard fans might well be appeased but for anyone seeking cutting edge, grab-you-by-the-cochlea dance music, then you won’t find it in this release.

2004-07-13 - REVIEW

After 15 years and seven albums of premium electronica and blissful live shows, Orbital are shutting down all systems.

Given the Hartnoll brother’s capacity for emotion and narrative within the often-restrictive confines of electro music, this is a somewhat insufficient and underwhelming collection.

2004-02-09 - REVIEW

More than Leftfield, more than Underworld, it was Orbital that managed to translate dance music into a form acceptable to studious (ale drinking) big brothers all over the land

2002-06-28 - REVIEW

So says Phil Harnoll of the hugely influential electronic duo, Orbital, but then he's a man whose views are just as radical and progressive as the band's music. Interview: Helen Toland

GENIUS ALBUM and all that, but if I was a contemporary of Fatboy Slim's I'd hate the bastard for coming up with You've Come A Long Way, Baby.

1999-04-14 - REVIEW

SO YOU reckon dance music is dull, repetitive and only marginally more fun to listen to outside of a club environment than a Black & Decker power drill. Well, if 2 Unlimited and their thousand zillion beat per minute chums are your yardstick, I'd have to agree.
