Halcyon1988 Keep it Halcyon First time I started rolling it was to I and II. When the chick says " what's wrong" on track on I I looked up at my friends and said " nothing". They started laughing. Man that was a good night.😍
The best album finish I've ever heard, on the most amazing album I've ever heard. Literally changed my music tastes forever and pointed me to the infinite possibilities of creative electronic music. Jiving away to myself listening on my headphones at 41 like I'm 16 again, as if hearing it for the first time.
This album single handedly got me interested in electronic music, I had dabbled a bit, but this album marked my full on passage to loving it, saw Orbital in Belfast in 2012, fulfilling one life ambition, didn't play any of this album sadly (not the most appropriate album for a live setting I'll grant you), I'm turning 39 tomorrow and I still love this album as much as the first time I heard it, a really underrated gem.
Have to agree with kpn5000 below (and virtually all posters). The fact that people can recognize this classic masterpiece for what it is after 20 years (and yes, no other "EDM" tune can hold a candle) renews my faith in humanity. And Orbital. Thank you Morgan Harris. Timeless.
Marc Matz ...right! I still remember the first time (22 years ago) like it was yesterday...the intro had me thinking it was going to be an ambient track...and then that bullet beat dropped. I sat straight up like ⚡OMG⚡ I have found perfection!
If you, I and fellows think about our first experience of this sound, then take that to now. So many years later and still to think that there is unheard originality within these songs. To think that each of us can make music now but yet we are left to our own creativity and however difficult to replicate it may be welcomed to make visages to deeper meanings that we all felt and express beyond the music. Inspires me every time I hear any of it. Have the best, because you are an original Orbital connoisseur.
Questa fantasmagoria sonora di 24 minuti ha davvero la statura del classico senza tempo, contenuto in un'opera "In Sides" già di per sè zeppa di gioielli sonori. Rigore strutturale e serialità (ogni volta che ascolto questa suite mi meraviglio della precisione con cui un tema sfuma nell'altro mantenendo qualcosa del precedente, con un sistema che fa pensare a un "orbitale" appunto, che ruota attorno allo stesso nucleo e poi impercettibilmente continua a spostarsi), ambizione "progressive" (sia come branca della musica "dance" sia di quella del rock "romantico".... gli opposti che si attraggono), sfrenata ricerca dell'effetto sonoro, melodia, virtuosismo... c'è tutto! Grazie Hartnoll Brothers! Da tramandare ai posteri.
+Jón Agnar Ólason When you've been lucky enough to have grown up listening to the beautiful and complex music of Orbital, new electronica and EDM just sounds like random notes and cheap build-ups to crap soulless anti-climaxes.
Agree with all posts. I had the pleasure of going to Organic show in '96 (near Big Bear/Lake Arrowhead mountains in California) with the organizer/Philip Blaine (next door neighbors/friends) He befriended the Hartnoll Bros. in London when he was recruiting for American shows. This song reverbing over the mountains was breathtaking. This is CLASSIC music.
I was there too. With Underworld and the Chems. But Orbital destroyed me with these tracks. I clearly remember looking up at the starry sky and thinking "this is the pinnacle. The zenith." One of my fav gigs ever ever.
I consider myself agnostic at best when it comes to religion. However, I have "experienced" God twice. Once on one of the handful of acid trips taken in my early 20s and the second time at an Orbital gig in the early 00s. I am now in my 59th year and drawing gradually closer to finding out the truth for sure... Up there with the finest artists at enlightenments right hand Orbital 💣❤️ O
i am SO grateful that you do not have ads on this. i have "the girl with the sun in her head" right before this and it sets it off just right i think. i'm trying to work out where to place "halcyon and on and on" and i think i might add that at the end. props and kudos!
@@loopedmess except that i would dump the vocal part of the box. i don't care about invincible people on trains, i want to hear music... you could put dr. who in after it maybe.
If people like Mozart were born today this is what they would have composed. And this 24 minute masterpiece is the quintessential reason, among many, why Orbital is the greatest electronic music group of all times. And it's not even close. The only other 2 electronic artist that come even close to taking you on a journey like this are the Chemical Brothers and Underworkd. The recent release by Slushi surprisingly is the closest thing to a modern album that I've heard that literally takes your mind on a journey .
+עירית וולפנדייל I actually think In Sides is diverse enough to be listened in parts, if need be. It depends :). (On an unrelated note, the "Diversions" compilation is too messy to ever be listened to in one go, and feel anything but confusion. Perhaps disappointment too. :P)
I'd like to go back to the moment just before I listening to this for the first time and watch myself, discover the best music track of all time. It's a sonic aural masterpiece. They have an amazing back catalogue of songs but nothing of theirs has ever beaten this. I also LOVE plaid and they have many many bangers but this is probably the king of the hill. I want to make sure I listen to this before I die.
Im a Physic Scientist! I guess a lot of tracks from Orbital leads me the way to become a Quantumphysic Scientist and now its like the music from Orbital is how Leptons & Fermions are dancing in the cosmos in the right rythm to make Materia! :D
Sadly it stopped happening at their shows as time went on, but back in the day you could be dancing your ass off with a bunch of people around you, and sure enough you'd look around and see everyone smiling ear to ear and crying at the same time as far as the eye could see. The most powerful human experience I've ever had.
i still feel the tingle of my first high when i listen to this but do you know what i realised at the age of 43 ? the real - real - high is life itself.
this song is so trippy. for some reason it makes me think of a mobius strip. yes I'm aware there's another Orbital song by that name. whatever. this is great and it's made 100% with hardware meaning no computers, not like it's a bad thing but it's really different to rehearse for a song from just programming and pushing play. i never played hardware by the way. at leas not instruments. just a couple of mixes i had to "play" along with the band while they performed so in a way i know what it must feel like. and again, these guys are really f*cking amazing at it. 😀
No, it is, the greatest piece of music ever. It is the concrescence of human manipulated sound for artistic expression. Search your hearts, you know it's true... It's just too much to believe...
Brilliant stuff, as all others said before me. Do feel I need to remark the transition to part 2 is a measure too late compared to the original. Now it's not in the tempo of the song.
Orbital fans: Check out the Conrad Schnitzler album CON on TH-cam, specifically the first track Electric Garden. It was released in 1978! And stick around for track 2: Ballet Statique jus' sayin u might like it.....
One of the greatest pieces of music ever created.
YES. Seriously, this is a masterpiece to me. It is everything.

Jerry Anderson’s UFO spacecraft sound at 17.20
I fucking love this
A totally immersive journey.. and what an ending.
This track will never get old for me.
PairInstabilityType I have been listening to it for over a decade - and it is still always in my truck.
+PairInstabilityType Been listening to it many times per week for 20 years. It is my life soundtrack.
Update 8 years on... It's still not getting old :)
The best album finish I've ever heard, on the most amazing album I've ever heard. Literally changed my music tastes forever and pointed me to the infinite possibilities of creative electronic music. Jiving away to myself listening on my headphones at 41 like I'm 16 again, as if hearing it for the first time.
I am here in lockdown literally crying like a baby at how beautiful this is.... pure fucking organic sonic arcitecture.
Music like this is inconceivably precious... It got me through some strange and frightening times.
This album single handedly got me interested in electronic music, I had dabbled a bit, but this album marked my full on passage to loving it, saw Orbital in Belfast in 2012, fulfilling one life ambition, didn't play any of this album sadly (not the most appropriate album for a live setting I'll grant you), I'm turning 39 tomorrow and I still love this album as much as the first time I heard it, a really underrated gem.
Not underrated in the slightest
I turned 58 a month ago and I still love it as much as in 1996.
Total genius, they never came close again to this level of utter production mastery and melodic perfection
The "what wrong?"is from the computerised medicine cabinet in the movie THX1138.
lold
A sublime fusion of creepy industrial, dirty electro, and IDM that somehow induces total euphoria.
This work of art deserves more views.
its 2020 and getting closer to 50k. Should easily hit 100k during this Covidian era.
Reading the comments while listening to this masterpiece has renewed my faith in humanity.
after 20 years this is still a shivering song :D
I 'remember' buying this album on eBay for $1.36, about 15 years ago, Thankyou to whoever you were ;)
+Frank Exit i had pirated cassete tape back in the 1997 ;-)
now that's old skool!
This gives me goosebumps. I remember first time I heard it...it was and still is a friggin masterpiece. THANK YOU!

REZZ should give this a listen!!!
Anyone listening in 2024🎉
gave me chills at 15 and still does at 34
Same man, though only 26, I'm sure it will last.
I'm still listening to Orbital at 60!
Dude....it gave me chills at 14 n I'm coming up on 40. Rock the fuck on.
Absolutely
All these years later and this song is still so very good. The point at 1:57 where it really kicks off gives me chills.
Marc Matz ...right! I still remember the first time (22 years ago) like it was yesterday...the intro had me thinking it was going to be an ambient track...and then that bullet beat dropped. I sat straight up like ⚡OMG⚡ I have found perfection!
Such a freakin' banger of a tune right here. Thanks for joining both parts together.
If you, I and fellows think about our first experience of this sound, then take that to now. So many years later and still to think that there is unheard originality within these songs. To think that each of us can make music now but yet we are left to our own creativity and however difficult to replicate it may be welcomed to make visages to deeper meanings that we all felt and express beyond the music.

I’ve probably listened to this piece of music more than any other since it was released...still just as beautiful as the first time.
Been listening to this song religiously since 1997 and its absolute perfection still floors me!
That bit from 19:19 onwards is just mmm **chefs kiss**
Goose bumps all the way,from the hard tune of part one too the chilled tones of part 2. This has everything
The beginning of Part 2 is so beautiful... Definitely my favourite part
nothing wrong with this. its a work of art
Still after all these years absolutely untouchable ❤️
This is the track that got me into electronic music nearly 20 years ago. An absolute masterpiece

Da tramandare ai posteri.
20 years old and still fresh as f*ck. Easily better than any piece of electronica released this year. Humble thanx to P&P.
+Jón Agnar Ólason When you've been lucky enough to have grown up listening to the beautiful and complex music of Orbital, new electronica and EDM just sounds like random notes and cheap build-ups to crap soulless anti-climaxes.
you're both so right 😀

+Mark McKinney So very true. Breaks my heart.

May the Lord bless you on your journey.

The box after halcyon. Needs to be the full length though
@@loopedmess except that i would dump the vocal part of the box. i don't care about invincible people on trains, i want to hear music... you could put dr. who in after it maybe.
What a work of art.
I always have this song stuck in my head.
a perfect piece a music.
It's got so many different movements and moods.
It's a symphony without the orchestra.
If people like Mozart were born today this is what they would have composed. And this 24 minute masterpiece is the quintessential reason, among many, why Orbital is the greatest electronic music group of all times. And it's not even close.

The recent release by Slushi surprisingly is the closest thing to a modern album that I've heard that literally takes your mind on a journey .
This is indeed fantastic, but it can't be played without the full album. There's nothing better to hear In Sides in it's entirety without distraction.
+עירית וולפנדייל I actually think In Sides is diverse enough to be listened in parts, if need be. It depends :).
(On an unrelated note, the "Diversions" compilation is too messy to ever be listened to in one go, and feel anything but confusion. Perhaps disappointment too. :P)
+Pirkka Keskinen Agreed. It's hard enough to digest everything together. Box is overwhelmingly beautiful. And Dwd Budr...
+עירית וולפנדייל I never listen to the second song, and rarely to the third and fourth songs.
+עירית וולפנדייל definitly conceptual album!! and orbital best one
It just was played without the full album. Everything is fine.
Wow! 27 years later when I bought this CD in Dublin as a US Sailor in some local record store. I loved it then and love now.
Sublime. Also, thanks for teaching me the word 'concatenation', love it.
in awe each time.
I'd like to go back to the moment just before I listening to this for the first time and watch myself, discover the best music track of all time. It's a sonic aural masterpiece.

Nerd
hook your stereo to the x & y INPUTS OF YOUR OSCILLOSCOPE AND WATCH WHAT TAKES PLACE!!!
I'm playing this while watching Fermilab physics videos, try it!
Best video I've seen.
Orbital takes me to places I've never been to before..stunning material. I love how they mixed in a scrambled and sampled Lush 3.1.
Ooh? Whereabouts??
Love 21:20 and on as all the elements fold together and the background is brought to the front.
Industrial & Classical soundscapes combined perfectly
Think ive said this on a couple of orbital songs already but one of the best pieces of music to come from this planet
00:20:48 is still so ridiculously, deliciously good
Its amazing to think that just changing 1 note completely changes the whole tone of the music
Genius beauty.
Never knew what to expect when i bought a new Orbital album.... always fresh!
this is someone's heart.
( ^ _ ^ )
the most amazing music
Sadly it stopped happening at their shows as time went on, but back in the day you could be dancing your ass off with a bunch of people around you, and sure enough you'd look around and see everyone smiling ear to ear and crying at the same time as far as the eye could see. The most powerful human experience I've ever had.
Outum 2023, still very enjoyable tune.
In my top 10 all time greatest tunes
i still feel the tingle of my first high when i listen to this but do you know what i realised at the age of 43 ? the real - real - high is life itself.
Absolute brilliant!
Love! ... another dimension
Orbital at the absolute peak of their powers
Wow. I first heard this on Test Drive 4 for the PS1 and I still love it.
Absolute masterpiece👁🇪🇺🇪🇺💯🇬🇧
master piece
this song is so trippy. for some reason it makes me think of a mobius strip. yes I'm aware there's another Orbital song by that name. whatever. this is great and it's made 100% with hardware meaning no computers, not like it's a bad thing but it's really different to rehearse for a song from just programming and pushing play. i never played hardware by the way. at leas not instruments. just a couple of mixes i had to "play" along with the band while they performed so in a way i know what it must feel like. and again, these guys are really f*cking amazing at it. 😀
THIS GOES HARD ❤❤❤
good track from Orbital electro sound blows me away to pieces, best regards and respect for people from Orbital....#@$%&^
A partir 19:20 et jusqu'à la fin c'est Transcendantal
No, it is, the greatest piece of music ever. It is the concrescence of human manipulated sound for artistic expression. Search your hearts, you know it's true... It's just too much to believe...
I'll remember if its the last thing I do!
Betty Hill
Coding in React on this as a background. Deep in the night.
if you love this then listen to their Semi Detached + Attached from the Peel session.
This is an electronic space opera
I came back for the nostalgia
and i stayed for bliss
Autechre's live version of Kalpol Introl is on the same page. Well worth a listen.
Brilliant stuff, as all others said before me. Do feel I need to remark the transition to part 2 is a measure too late compared to the original. Now it's not in the tempo of the song.
quel orchestre symphonique aura l'audace ?
Mars Symphonic Orchestra en l'an 2121.
Absolutely fucking amazing
what a trip
Now remember the last thing I do.
Turn up the volume, close the windows and doors.
Then wait for the police to arrive because of a noise complaint 😜
Orbital fans: Check out the Conrad Schnitzler album CON on TH-cam, specifically the first track Electric Garden. It was released in 1978! And stick around for track 2: Ballet Statique jus' sayin u might like it.....
mind blowin
15:15 runescape wind sound effect?
10:43 Test Drive memories
i love this beat
In Sides honestly changed the way I listened to music.
......................yes, both together. Optimism in that. Nice omen
I Love it
Great track, even better video lol
i remember good stuff too
wow
this is a drug
from 12:40 to the end : epic !
+Del Stefo it's basically a buildup until that point
Their best album ending along with Attached from Snivilisation.
mmmm Meltdown tho
(The full length version from Alltogether 5.1, not the cutdown one on the CD)
beautiful. :) :) :)
That moment at 3:26 when this composition steps into a new dimension.😎
OMG! LOL. those were the days...
This is good
The drums at 3:56, I feel emotional
the beat reminds me of Kraftwerk
2024
there's a part 2? ... I'm scared.
I may die twice!!
No, this is parts 1 and 2 mixed together into one track. Part 2 starts at about 10:42
