Да, время летит, жизнь очень меняется ,но какой же кайф, сделав дела, сесть в транспорт, и включить музыку, которая, как и 30 лет назад так окрыляет. Но, мы в России никогда не покупали музыку, она просто была и ею делились.) Сил и добра нам, братцы.
I bought this CD from the Woolworth's in Edmonton Green, sometime in Autumn 1992. This original version of 'Halcyon' is somewhat more melancholic and poignant than the (also incredible) remixed version that appears on their 'Brown' album from 1993. I'd come to interpret the title of the track quite literally, as an elegy to the UK rave scene: the blissed-out togetherness and unity of the late 80s / early 90s illegal outdoor raves giving way to the music splitting up into micro-genres, the culture moving back to various club-based scenes. 'Sunday' is simply one of the finest pieces of electronic dance music produced in the 20th century.
(sigh,) Woolies..... they often had some off the curve interesting music. Very much part of my initial club/disco/electro education in my teens in the mid 80's and on and on.
How strange, I also picked this up from Woolworths, and this was my first introduction to Orbital. I paid 49p on cassette single and still have it in the loft (I left on the £2.39 sticker, of course). This, to me, was always THE version of Halcyon because I played it to death on that cassette single. I followed Orbital for a good many years afterwards (In Sides is the finest electronic album ever made) and also got well into the underground scene (a bit too well...), and so much of it started here (I was 14 when I bought this). Later bought it on vinyl to mix The Naked and the Dead (for about £15... work that out!). Not only was Woolworths a totally schizophrenic way of acquiring music (remember buying so much stuff just because I liked the covers and they were in the 49p bin, from Lithium by Nirvana to Perpetual Dawn by Orbital to stuff by Pop Will Eat Itself), but back then you could buy something and not have a clue about the artists or producers. Orbital, to me, remained a bit of a mystery for months afterwards until I start picking up other bits and, undoubtedly, read something minuscule in NME. In many ways difficult days to follow music, but brilliant days when you caught a gem that not many knew much about... certainly none of my school mates, they were all listening to chaff in 1992.
I just can't describe how good orbital are, the many places they have taken me to, wonderful worlds of colour and sound, amazing times, each time something new was noticed within the sounds, incredible
Saw them at Glastonbury Festival during the Nineties, two different years - dancing to Chime and Satan amongst the largest crowds I've ever been part of till then. Joyful times!
13.27, The naked and the dead takes a detour that sends shivers down your spine even nearly 30 years on! Made in the days when b sides and EPs had hidden gems on them
This is awesome. I havent heard this remix since i used to do hours of training to it at uni a million years ago. As soon as it started, I knew it was the one from back then. Just the right pace, balance and intensity.
Inside the liner notes of MBM's -Satyricon is a " thank you" list of various artist in which Orbital was one. Because Satyricon kix ass, I went back to the record store and bought this cassette. Both redefined what's possible in music for me in 1992.
Halcyon the Song which remembers me everydays! You are a Hacker! A real elite Person which can solve and handle all problems of the world when you got the time to think about it.
TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND I think (and I'm not sure) he's referencing the film Hackers, which has Halycon on the soundtrack. If that's not right then I think he's just a mentalist.
An album not so readily available...which is why I am not familiar with "Sunday." I'd almost say it wasn't quite Orbital enough to be Orbital - 'tis different. But then again I thought that about "The Gun is Good." I came back to that song a year or so later and now think it's fucking brilliant.
I can see what you mean by Sunday not sounding familiarly Orbital-esque. It's definitely from that short period where they were sounding more Trance-y. Which they didn't sound like before or after The Brown Album...
There was an MTV ad in the 90s with dolphins blowing water rings and the music was a soft 303 bassline and a man's voice trying to hypnotize, "Relax, listen to my voice". I'm pretty sure it's an Orbital track. I think I even found it years ago, but it's forgotten now. Anyone know?
about the year i discovered raving and electronic music. the tensofthousands i have spent on records, mp3s, turntables, mixers, and tickets since.... geez i miss the days of $50 EDC tickets. ugh! i miss events period...
WRITE IT RIGHT PLEASE ! XD radiccio is a kind of vegetable, it grows near Venice...it's one of the tasty gourmet in many traditional foods, (radicchio in italian- RADICCIO IN VENETIAN) and this couple of genius who are "Orbital" choose it because of it's particular taste I think that's delicious but bitter...bye from Venice!
psychic tv released a cd "acid hut" around this time which was like 50 minutes of (more or less) white noise ....... never seen a single online reference to it..
I meditate on parts of the bible at times while listening to Orbital, takes me back to 'The Beginning', the wisdom of the world, and how so much operates on money - the root of all kinds of evil. (I've seen the future, I can't afford it- tell me the truth sir, somone just bought it' ..like Bill Gates.

One of the greatest EPs ever? So fucking underrated and underappreciated.
But one MUST get the version with The Naked and the Dub
Best times of my life. The best music money could buy, lovely people amazing ecstasy. Miss it all

+Ch0yc3z It's sad that kids today will never have the experience of buying melodic rave EPs and sweets from Woolworths.
lol indeed

this music is really on a different level
It's truly a spiritual experience

I hope you experienced their first year at Glasto in 94. History making debut and an awesome night, never to be forgotten 😁

PAUL AND PHIL, ALWAYS ON TOP OF THEIR CRAFT !
Sunday is a hidden gem :)
Sunday! One of the best Orbital tracks ever thanks for uploading fucked up my 12 inch vinyl years ago!
The best (and original) version of Halcyon.
And on and on
the version from the brown album is SLIGHTLY better but both are amazing.
This is awesome. I havent heard this remix since i used to do hours of training to it at uni a million years ago.
As soon as it started, I knew it was the one from back then. Just the right pace, balance and intensity.
I was wonderin
Thank you! Faraway memories, but very actual also!
"Sunday" .... where have you been all my life?? yowzers!!
Just received the album from 1992…could not be more happy what a beautiful tracks
Thats a really long shipping time
Memories.. thank you.
+CtrlAltPhreak yes memories. Lots of LSD back in 1992. This ep blew me away. Got it a Beat Non Stop on Melrose hot off the press..
Просто божественно.
ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО!!
You had to be there.... I am 60 yrs old... I am old but the music is still soo fresh.
Orbital's best work
Inside the liner notes of MBM's -Satyricon is a " thank you" list of various artist in which Orbital was one. Because Satyricon kix ass, I went back to the record store and bought this cassette. Both redefined what's possible in music for me in 1992.
Absolutely bang on love
still relevant
And Orbital's remix of MBM's Mindstream is killer, too.

I think (and I'm not sure) he's referencing the film Hackers, which has Halycon on the soundtrack. If that's not right then I think he's just a mentalist.
TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND
I'm think mentalist to be honest. And yes I'm a fan, they are pioneers of electronic music!
TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND
Yeah saw them back in '99 at a festival, only time, one of best live performances I've seen though!
Shot through the heart....
Yes sir, thank you for this!!!!
The Halcyon I knew was the version from the Hackers soundtrack. TIL .... THIS!
Saw them at a club called Trees in Dallas in 1994. Great live act! Liked them since Choice was a single in early 1991.
Goosebumps
all the naked and the dead approve of this composition...
❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤MARAVILHOSA ❤
Lovely classic gating/stuttering techniques on this E.P
Holy. Shit. I don't know whether I clicked play or popped Ecstasy.
❤
Love
Probably the best single/EP release by Orbital (including both Raddico EPs) 👍
Timeless
timeless...
Forgot how hypnotic Naked and the Dead was with those snares, sheeeeeesh
Great !! Still
timeless nice
Both mixes of Halycon are unbelievably good. I actually prefer the other version, this one's fantastic too though.
True! This version is raw with subtleties. The Brown version is more dynamic & epic with all the rough edges polished for maximum effect.
An album not so readily available...which is why I am not familiar with "Sunday." I'd almost say it wasn't quite Orbital enough to be Orbital - 'tis different.
But then again I thought that about "The Gun is Good." I came back to that song a year or so later and now think it's fucking brilliant.

+Eden tification I think there's a few cuts on Wonky that returned to this formula, but that album's so
underwhelming in comparison to this.
I also dig The Gun Is Good. Kudos.
drives me fucking crazy the beat!!!!!!

Orbital wasn't even my favourite dance act. However, they knew how to make proper build ups that take you on a journey.
There was an MTV ad in the 90s with dolphins blowing water rings and the music was a soft 303 bassline and a man's voice trying to hypnotize, "Relax, listen to my voice". I'm pretty sure it's an Orbital track. I think I even found it years ago, but it's forgotten now. Anyone know?

i like Sunday
Sweet!
I told this before, this song was on the last VHS-Tape i recorded, Best of the best in 10 years Musicvideotelevision.

Fun fact: The woman doing the vocal on Halcyon is the daughter of the guy who did the theme tunes for Grange Hill and Countdown.
Best version of halcyon for me
Absolute madness.
