Album Details
When Orbital first took the stage at Glastonbury-on July 25th 1994-they arrived with a reputation as innovators of live electronic music and armed with a recently completed album no one outside of their studio had heard. By the time they had finished what has since been critically and generally acclaimed as one of the greatest live performances of all time it was clear that there was something going on between Orbital and Glastonbury that went beyond the realms of just being in the right place at the right time. In ten years Orbital would return to Glastonbury five times, delivering stunning, euphoric performances that stretched the possibilities of what a Dance act was capable of bringing to the live arena-both visually and sonically- and providing the defining moment for several hundred thousand peoples midsummer weekends. For those who missed it, and for those who were in the thick of it every time, this is a two CD collection of the best of these performances. 16 tracks.
Album Description
When Orbital First Took the Stage at Glastonbury-on July 25th 1994-they Arrived with a Reputation as Innovators of Live Electronic Music and Armed with a Recently Completed Album No One Outside of their Studio Had Heard. By the Time They Had Finished What Has Since Been Critically and Generally Acclaimed as One of the Greatest Live Performances of all Time (Q Magazine Voted it as One of the Top 50 Gigs of all Time) it was Clear that There was Something Going on Between Orbital and Glastonbury that Went Beyond the Realms of Just Being in the Right Place at the Right Time. "it was One of the all Time Great Glastonbury Sets," Says Festival Organiser Emily Eavis, "it's Gone Down in Festival History as a Really Special Moment. Over the Years There have Been a Few Sets which have Somehow Transcended the Normal 'band-audience' Relationship, and Orbital Did Exactly That." Includes Two CDs and One Dvd (Pal).
