Ridiculously great piece. After seeing this on C4, I went to a Camden Town record shop and had to ask a couple who were flicking through the Orbital cds what this while doing the 'plink plink plink' etc intro. They got it straight away!
@clivetemple I was there aswell mate, awesome. Dodgy, Sleeper, Supergrass on other stage, then over to the main stage for Orbital. 2.19 into song i'm dancing like a loon, loose myself and end up back up the hill grinning like a cat. Happy days. Cant believe it's 16 years since Glasto '95!
Late reply, I know, and sorry if this reply gets long. But anyways, when I listen to this live recording I like to imagine they're actually playing that piano part, live, on electronic keyboards (this is electronic music, after all). It's not an overly complicated piano part, I'm sure skilled enough keyboardists could play it. Even groups like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra will manually play keyboard parts that have similar difficulty levels. But how would they play it live? Allow me to make a perhaps boring-to-read musical analysis: There are 3 piano parts going on at the same time, actually. The first part, in the lower part of the piano, would be the easiest part to play manually. The second part, the constant arpeggio, is definitely more difficult... actually the most difficult out of the 3 parts. Then there's a third melody part that is less involved musically, so it's easier than the second part with the arpeggio. To get all 3 piano parts going on simultaneously, considering that Orbital consists of only 2 people, that's where a sequencer or looper would come in. They could record themselves manually playing each keyboard part, 1 at a time and the sequencer/looper would play the parts back once recorded. Of course, one could also choose to take the risk of ditching the sequencer and have 3 separate keyboardists manually play each piano part. Even if none of this is actually played manually in this video and they're literally just playing pre-recorded sequences, it's still fun to imagine this really being played live, because it's not entirely impossible. There are electronic music pieces that are way more difficult to play live, maybe even impossible to play live, because of their speed or whatever. Oh, and a final thought: as I said, the arpeggio part (the second piano part) is the most difficult, so of course, it is likely that part would be better off pre-recorded. The other 2 parts are easier to play though, so there's not much of a reason to pre-record them (unless you want to deliberately avoid the timing variations and other errors that come from manually playing an instrument :))

Respect to my Brighton bros. 🎉🎉Brighton Centre 8/4 amazing....33 years later. ✊💜❤️💜
Went to see Orbital live many times but, alas, never heard this one played - thanks for posting
When I heard they'd quit touring, I was kicking myself for never going to see them live.
Thank God they're back!
wuau, que gran cancion!!
I'm listening to Snivilisation for the first time. Sooo good.
It's my favourite now after years of listening to Orbital
Lucky you. It's their best album. Hearing something for the first time you adore is one of the most special experiences in life.
First time I heard this was at Kumharas, Ibiza. Blew me away.
saw this on Channel 4 at the time - amazing when they kick inti Impact at the end. this was the moment i knew i had to go to Glastonbury.
This video is available on the Orbital Glasto Album! Its Great
Tune.
hit the mid range, drop the bass.
i am so glad to have been there.
What a kick in.....
love it when that skronking skanking synth crashes in after the piano intro
I was there.
I was there

@Stereovaccine Saw them in Sydney this week - didn't play this though :( Very small venue - fantastic!
I see they've signed up for Electric Picnic this year, thought I'd never see em live again!!!!
Just trip, relax
they are also coming to bestfest bucuresti in july
It seems a lie that have already passed modest 26 years since the first time I heard this classic of the alternative & underground scenario
I've had that same problem, when I've loaded a pattern and all tracks default to GM piano...
its like a song that never drops :s
I've had that same problem when I load a pattern and it defaults to GM piano...hmmm
When I saw "Kein Trink Wasser Live at Glasto", I thought WOW, somebody can actually play that piano bit?!? Too much to ask. Killer song, tho.
