35 years later and this tune still rocks. I remember its release very well as a 18 year old raver. Loved this tune then and still love it now. Big up to all old skool crew, peace and love xx
This masterpiece was made by Phil and Paul Hartnol, two brothers from Sevenoaks in Kent. They made it in their bedroom when they were attending Wilderness School for Boys. We all used to go to a Youth Club called Raileys in Sevenoaks. Lovely guys. Banging tune when it came out and still not lost its touch. Amazing work.
1989, 19 years old, dungarees, Kickers (red), purple OM, yellow Cali watching the sunrise at Glastonbury '89 when it cost £5 to get in!! Radio Rental...still get goosebumps listening to this at 51 years old. Best time of my life !
I was 16 years old when I heard this, downloading music from lime wire year 2006 or 2007, it changed me forever :) love orbital. I’m from Chicago , House Music and Acid reign supreme
It makes me weep with joy to see that soı many of you young 'uns love this song as much as I do. Anyone who says that electronic music has no soul has clearly never found themselves on a dance floor at 04:00 in the morning listening to this with 2000 other people.
Tears of ecstatic joy, making eye contact across the floor with some stranger loving it as much as you. Yeah we were on an imperial f##k ton of chemicals but the feelings were real.
When life is dull and boring and work grinds down on me ... this is the special place in my brain I retreat to: a silly grin, a bobbing head and relentlessly tapping feet are the physical evidence I am there. In my mind I am dancing with utter abandon and joy.
I'm 23 and I love all forms of electronica. From old school house, techno, trance, acid, jungle, etc to newer drum and bass, dubstep, electro, etc. Music evolves. But there is no need to forget the classics. Either way age is irrelevant, all that matter is the tune gets you off your feet and moving your body. Rave is in the soul!
+Joe Lucey my we had sum mad name 4 this tune 'Energy flash'Whaa whaa whaaa whaaa,listen too the claps,French kiss allways cum after this,jeeez getting a tad too hyper .Tunes made me lose my mind.:}
Its hard to describe what this record meant when it was released. It changed everything, changed the mood, upped the ante. From one set of styles, this came out and re-set the compass. It was inspiring. It sounds absurd today, but the feeling was that nothing was impossible in terms of new music being released and spreading everywhere. All the rules and artificial boxes seemed to be dissolving. Artists all over were making strange music and releasing it and selling it. Did you know that the original release of "Chime" was mastered from a cassette? Even the means of making music was changing; all the rules were being thrown out, and not to the detriment of the music, but to its improvement, an increase in the number of voices, releases and people with ideas being heard. This was finally "it". The music industry was finished, and nothing would ever stop people from hearing what was out there ever again. And then... it stopped.
Donimusic For sure; its an absurd idea that anything is possible in terms of new pop music. Popular music is absolutely awful today, and its getting worse.
ya it stopped because they bullied all our people. It stopped because TPTB cant stand to see people happy. It stopped because of greedy people eating all the pie and people becoming soo pretentious. They dont like the mantra of freedom!
I agree in general pop music is terrible today. It's because they are trying to nail a profitable sound rather than an original and potentially game changing one.
This tune always takes me back to the early nineties and the debauchery of that time. I lived for the weekend back then. No sleep and nothing but raves, clubs, ecstasy and dancing all weekend. So many great memories. I used to go to work Monday morning after being out all weekend on it with no sleep and deal with it easily but these days 3 nights of partying fucks me up for about 2 weeks so I rarely do it, these days I'm just a piss head and part time pot head when I fancy being rebellious and naughty!!!
@@1alchemicalme hitting 59...just came back from Amsterdam...went to Techno club Jon doe...partied till 5am with the best of them...once a raver..(.fill in the blanks)
I came here to listen to this great tune and found all the sort of amazing people I used to rave to this with. The nights where you'd be out raving in some field in the middles of nowhere completely off your face, lost your friends and end up being adopted by some people you've just met sharing ciggies and water. You'd then see your friends stumbling around and you'd make a massive group, dancing, sweating happy and, just for that night, totally FREE. I wish I could go back just for one night to feel that feeling and hear these tunes and meet you ravers again. Thanks for the good vibes :)
Super Bowl Sunday afternooon, 2023 -- My hometown team will be playing soon and I am STILL LISTENING TO EVERYTHING ORBITAL ! Thank you, Phil and Paul. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this was my first ever 12" i bought in 1989 from spin inn records in manchester, those were the days, respect to all the old skool ravers... Good times
I used to go Spin in records every weekend to buy soul and hip hop tunes. Also Eastern Block. And it was 808 State that used to play tunes on Sunset radio 102fm and that's where I first heard this tune. Playing it now at 11:22. Mint tune.
I love clicking on something out of pure curiosity and loving it when I find what I wasn't even looking for...(if that makes any sense to anyone).Imagine if you will,a fifty-something year old man.It's the middle of the night.He's working,all alone in a hospital doing terminal cleans in the operating rooms.He has scrubs on,the little surgeons hat,gloves and he's dancing like a maniac as he cleans.That's me.Up all night while most are asleep and dreaming.The best thing about it is the operating rooms have a killer sound system and I have this crankin' as loud as the system can handle.Seek no further than where you are right now.The fountain of youth exists .Music is the fountain!
2019 ...me n my soul mate {52 and 54 years young} are travelling up to Glasgow in June to see the legends that are Orbital...happy dayz brothers and sisters x
Being 17 and allowed to stay out all night, finding a decent rave via some shady bloke standing on a corner in Camden (Biology/Back to the Future/Sunrise), getting past the bouncers with my speed and e's. Then spending 8 hours dancing fucked out of my face, the come down was brutal, but I never felt that alive ever again. I'm just so glad I was lucky enough to be there. This tune will always make me smile ;-)
You made me smile big time! I was always furrkkd and dancing somewhere smoky 89-93 but loved it so much! I still dance to oldskool every day with my pug, he loves it his tail goes round like a helicopter lol! The comedians were brutal, could hardly walk and felt like I'd been kicked in the mouth by a tree! I just remember, i fainted in a chip shop full of people wearing a dressing gown and slippers after a weekend on rhubarb and custards lol!🤣 keep olkskool alive x
London Astoria, 1990. DJ slows the last track to a stop and plays this from the start. A wide green laser slowly pans up and down through the dry ice across a sea of raised hands. The bass kicks in, my neurons are exploding cos I'm tripping balls. The track starts proper at 1:39 and I'm blasted into space, dancing with eyes closed, all worries forgotten. I take a peak around me and all I see is smiles and flashing lights. I didn't know then that it would be one of the best memories of my life.
nah, woud you tell anyone? anyways, this more like hoffman type track....I need more blotters fo sure...fck MDMA...works one times, the rest is hunting after a shadow, permanently
I remember this home made mixtape a friend of mine had in 1996. It was orbital, young american primitive, future sound of London, and the orb. I had already been immersed in the local dance scene in my hometown. This mixtape opened the WORLD of dance to me. I am forever grateful. Orbital is the G.O.A.T.
They grow bigger every year, the bastards. Hoping mine will stop before I'm self-propelling into the stratosphere. Which will save on travel costs enormously.
New years day 2021, spent the last 9 months working from home - transported back to Hull, The Tower student night in early 1990, a time when happiness was more than just a word
this tune and Belfast are two of the best dance tunes ever produced, I remember being 17 in Manchester when this originally came out and me and two older dj mates from my sound engineering / music production course used to skip our college course on a wednesday afternoon to go and dj on a pirate radio station in Moss Side (Frontline Radio Soul) this was always our opening track every week, Wednesday afternoon was always really quiet in the college cos most people were tuning into our show someone smoking a big riff somewhere! great times & quality tune.
After a mashed up crazy night, chilling in the local country park, sun shining, smoke rising, car stereo on, orbital chime taking you away.... What a time. X
A field in Surrey, a club in L.A., a beach party in Goa, late at a mates place, 3am after a session or anytime over the last 30 years just 'cos you want to. Play it baby.
A big sound system and this made everything better. The clear acid sounds cut through our brains and the beat made us dance. Great times ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I first saw these legends at Deptford free festival in the early 90s. Still make me rush ❤
I met them 4 years ago as had backstage passes for a festival they were headlining. They signed my copy of the Yellow Album (or Green Album if you prefer ) and we chatted for a good while as I work for radio. Phil told me they got into electronica through hearing bands, being fascinated by the sounds the machines made and then going out and trying to procure something similar. He was evidently pleased when I told him Chime had exactly that same effect on me at 15 years old and began my lifelong love for electronic music and especially Orbital (I'm now 43). True pioneers as well as being very personable chaps. I love them and their music and feel lucky to have grown up when I did. One love!
Rin Tin Tin : Back in 1980s I produced Solaris, a radio series featured new music and electrical produced pieces, this would have fit perfectly into programming.
Maria Baldry with you all the way Maria I partied from 89 /96 full on up and down the country great days and I love the memories I’m 52 now and still occasionally get to go to a free party or a anniversary gig rave music free love,peace and unity so glad to of been apart of it😜🌍☀️🌈🏴✊✌️
One of the best anthems of90's.Best decade not only for my life but the whole dance music.Love it!It also brings me goosebumps a mix of dance, ambient and both chill out music!✌️🇬🇷😁
1989 Great time to be alive. I grew in the early LA warehouse acid house scene. Call a number before the event, get directions to where you purchase your ticket, then drive to the actual location. $20 and free beer past 2am cut off and no ID check, I was 19. Also there really wasn't much of a "rave" culture yet, we were all still individuals it was a variety of all different types of people.
Remember hearing this when it came out, I was 19, it literally stopped me in my tracks...I had to find it and buy! Also got hold of chime 2 later, hypnotic and simply brilliant 👏
i remember having an outer body experience at one of Orbitals gigs.the sound and light blended like no -other show ,sublime.one of the best nights of my life.EVER!!!!!!
Just clicked on this for the first time in a long while - and got the BIGGEST shiver down my spine I can ever recall. The memory - New Years Eve @ Alexandra Palace, happily chatting & buzzing away with friends, and then this track just cuts through the air. We all run into the main hall and, well, you can guess the rest!! Happy times.
The lyrics “Don’t believe the lies, trouble, noise or fuss. That ain’t the way for the most of us” (in an American accent) with this epic mix. Can never find. ❤
Epic tune! Takes me back to them days of going house to house picking up your mates knowing you and them are going on a journey of sound with a few 🕊. So many memories of this track. ❤️
Driving around DC /Nova searching for the place with the promise of sick beats and intella beams. Looking out across the floor and seeing nothing but joy, sweat and unity. Was a magical time full of hope for what we could be
I remember listening to this song from my big brother’s cd collection but that was over 25 years ago now! This techno electronicia song still sticks with me today!

How does a vacuum exists containing a pressure system without any solid physical separation between the two? The vacuum itself must also require containment. The claim that opposing pressure systems can maintain their respective properties without solid separation is idiotic. It defies applied, observable objective reality and yet it is professed to impressionable children to be truth of their origin and existence. It's child abuse to rob children of their psychological and emotional foundation by imbuing beliefs into them that contradict their common sense. Gas pressure requires containment, yet in the case of Earth, cult priests of pseudo science are preaching a belief in something that defies reality. I can't find any practical demonstrations for this claim, just dishonest illogical and zealous muppets that push it.
This tune was made with a cassette recorder and cost something like 80p to make. By far one the best tunes to ever roam this planet and galaxies far far away.
All a can remember was tripping on acid and hearing this blasting out the speakers a couldnt see anyone for smoke and strobes all you could hear was shouts of go on!!!! Brilliant tune just sums up our generation. 😁😁😁.
Fuck, 25 years old this month (Dec 14). Hearing this is like speedily flicking through a massive photo album of the past and of the good times. Many memories. :)
I was just in the most wonderful place for the last 10mins listening to this song while my teenage years flashed before my eyes.. Couldn't move, hands frozen, mouth open, eyes glazed. Words can't do justice to the emotions
Ah! I remember getting this on vinyl in the months coming up to my Leaving Cert, was 17. Loved it! This kind of music was so new, never heard anything like it!
This is crazy. I’m a big music fan and dj on a semi regular basis, in my late 20’s. I’ve just started my new job at an art school(which I went too) and in the first year hall there are these big drawers full of records which have been there over a decade so I have been told. I kid you not first 10 or 20 records I pull out I found this I couldn’t believe it.Big up orbital!
Music-The knowledge of life. Its all related in someway or another. 60s Motown,70s Disco,80s Electronic age, Electro Hip Hop,House the use of samples,90s Drum n Bass until shite today.
I was a Indie/alternative music fan in the 80s and 90s, yet always had a soft spot for good electronic/dance tunes. Loved Orbital, Leftfield, The Orb, Autechre etc......
Had the privilege to watch orbital & shades of rythm back to back at pirate club Camden in early nineties, what a fuckin' nite, doved up dat was...... Comin' on strong
37 years later I still get goosebumps listening to all the Frankie Kmuckes tunes. Give me Telepathy or Elevation right now please! Or Legends on a Saturday night when we all thought we was above that after because of the shovel....then it all went shitty.
35 years later and this tune still rocks. I remember its release very well as a 18 year old raver. Loved this tune then and still love it now. Big up to all old skool crew, peace and love xx
for sure. re-enjoying it for today. cheers

this tune and Belfast are two of the best dance tunes ever produced, I remember being 17 in Manchester when this originally came out and me and two older dj mates from my sound engineering / music production course used to skip our college course on a wednesday afternoon to go and dj on a pirate radio station in Moss Side (Frontline Radio Soul) this was always our opening track every week, Wednesday afternoon was always really quiet in the college cos most people were tuning into our show someone smoking a big riff somewhere! great times & quality tune.
nice one mate
hey bud , its jay jones , you remember me ?
would you be up for a small chat about raving days - it’s for a personal project I’m working on!
After a mashed up crazy night, chilling in the local country park, sun shining, smoke rising, car stereo on, orbital chime taking you away.... What a time. X
2022 STILL AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!
2023... Still a banging track 💯🎯🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@bugzygee72_ 2100 still banging ... :)
@@jurgenaerts6239 Timeless........... 🌟
That 909 offset kick and snare... Genius...
iam still playing this music since 92 . love it . takes me back to when i was younger . every w/end i feel younger listening to the old school
A field in Surrey, a club in L.A., a beach party in Goa, late at a mates place, 3am after a session or anytime over the last 30 years just 'cos you want to. Play it baby.
Simply stunning. Never get tired of listening to Orbital. This tune is goose bump central for me
I love your description - neck hair standing melody lolol
One of the best tunes ever, a real gem.❤️
Well said Michelle!👍
A big sound system and this made everything better.
The clear acid sounds cut through our brains and the beat made us dance. Great times ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I first saw these legends at Deptford free festival in the early 90s. Still make me rush ❤
I met them 4 years ago as had backstage passes for a festival they were headlining. They signed my copy of the Yellow Album (or Green Album if you prefer ) and we chatted for a good while as I work for radio. Phil told me they got into electronica through hearing bands, being fascinated by the sounds the machines made and then going out and trying to procure something similar. He was evidently pleased when I told him Chime had exactly that same effect on me at 15 years old and began my lifelong love for electronic music and especially Orbital (I'm now 43). True pioneers as well as being very personable chaps. I love them and their music and feel lucky to have grown up when I did. One love!
Rin Tin Tin : Back in 1980s I produced Solaris, a radio series featured new music and electrical produced pieces, this would have fit perfectly into programming.
I had the same with Paul, really personable and spent valuable time talking. Top fella :)

omg can't believe I came across this. Listening 20 November 2024 thank you so much 💖
One of the best anthems of90's.Best decade not only for my life but the whole dance music.Love it!It also brings me goosebumps a mix of dance, ambient and both chill out music!✌️🇬🇷😁
1989 Great time to be alive. I grew in the early LA warehouse acid house scene. Call a number before the event, get directions to where you purchase your ticket, then drive to the actual location. $20 and free beer past 2am cut off and no ID check, I was 19. Also there really wasn't much of a "rave" culture yet, we were all still individuals it was a variety of all different types of people.
Remember hearing this when it came out, I was 19, it literally stopped me in my tracks...I had to find it and buy! Also got hold of chime 2 later, hypnotic and simply brilliant 👏
i remember having an outer body experience at one of Orbitals gigs.the sound and light blended like no -other show ,sublime.one of the best nights of my life.EVER!!!!!!
This track still gives me tingly rushes, and I'm nearly 40 and haven't done E for years!!
Saw them in Brighton in 93.....great party....
Raise your hands and just let this tune do what it can do aka make you feel reckin great!!! One love proper tune to get lost in love it!!!!
Absolutely one the best songs to play when the sun rises after an all night dance party!
FLAVOUR cliffingham❤
Just clicked on this for the first time in a long while - and got the BIGGEST shiver down my spine I can ever recall. The memory - New Years Eve @ Alexandra Palace, happily chatting & buzzing away with friends, and then this track just cuts through the air. We all run into the main hall and, well, you can guess the rest!! Happy times.
Totally ✌
Bonkers tune. Forgot it till I was doing a bit of browsing. Feel like a young 56 year old now.
😂😂😂
Approaching 30 years later and this still one of those timeless tracks the brings you right back or opens you up to something new 😀
This is one of the first records I ever learnt to mix with. What a classic!
me too! :)
Yeeeeew!
Mix this with krawerk radio activity
Three and a bit decades later and it never fails to put a smile on my face as I reminisce, all those memories!
The lyrics “Don’t believe the lies, trouble, noise or fuss. That ain’t the way for the most of us” (in an American accent) with this epic mix.
Can never find. ❤
Epic tune! Takes me back to them days of going house to house picking up your mates knowing you and them are going on a journey of sound with a few 🕊. So many memories of this track. ❤️
Driving around DC /Nova searching for the place with the promise of sick beats and intella beams. Looking out across the floor and seeing nothing but joy, sweat and unity. Was a magical time full of hope for what we could be
Im 51 and still love it
I remember listening to this song from my big brother’s cd collection but that was over 25 years ago now! This techno electronicia song still sticks with me today!
It's like,taking a walk down memorylane..45 and still goosebumps🙊🙊🙏🙏😙🙏
Even 27 years has gone and still a BANGING TRACK!
Even almost 34 years (it's NYE) 😉
@@stup4501 Saw Phil and Paul Hartnoll At Luton Hoe, "The Tribal Gathering" Watching KRAFTWERK With The Rest Of Us Devotees ( It's More Fun To Compute )🎶🎵🎧
@@thelabtechnicians5657Seeing Kraftwerk live is definitely a feather in the cap!
Wishing you a cracking 2023
🙏
Odd way to look at time - as it going. I prefer to view it as accumulating.
I really can’t put into words how good this classic is 🙌🙌
Lawrence I'm 62 today......seem to remember jumpin about to to this at the Brixton academy-I think- we were definitely in Brixton. Stopped all the nonsense about dace music not being music once and for all in one track....listen to that samplig, quite brilliant. Loves xx
If you were going to stick a tune on a rocket to a far off galaxy somewhere to tell them we are here, this is the one.
You are a poet my friend.
Jogo Lock instead we sent them "Johnny B Goode" "Melancholy Blues" and "Dark Was The Night" 😆
Hahaha perfect !!!
How does a vacuum exists containing a pressure system without any solid physical separation between the two? The vacuum itself must also require containment. The claim that opposing pressure systems can maintain their respective properties without solid separation is idiotic. It defies applied, observable objective reality and yet it is professed to impressionable children to be truth of their origin and existence. It's child abuse to rob children of their psychological and emotional foundation by imbuing beliefs into them that contradict their common sense.
Gas pressure requires containment, yet in the case of Earth, cult priests of pseudo science are preaching a belief in something that defies reality. I can't find any practical demonstrations for this claim, just dishonest illogical and zealous muppets that push it.
Yaaaaa...... Boom boom boom
This tune was made with a cassette recorder and cost something like 80p to make. By far one the best tunes to ever roam this planet and galaxies far far away.
Ha ha.
Craig i remember those doves too...)))
And it plays at the wrong speed to what they wanted as their dads tape deck was out of whack
Omg timeless classic 🎉❤
I’m the car on a sunny day, this comes up on shuffle and all I can say is what a masterpiece, which even 30 odd years cannot dim!
All a can remember was tripping on acid and hearing this blasting out the speakers a couldnt see anyone for smoke and strobes all you could hear was shouts of go on!!!! Brilliant tune just sums up our generation. 😁😁😁.
.... still sounds amazing 31 years later
Fuck, 25 years old this month (Dec 14). Hearing this is like speedily flicking through a massive photo album of the past and of the good times. Many memories. :)
I was just in the most wonderful place for the last 10mins listening to this song while my teenage years flashed before my eyes.. Couldn't move, hands frozen, mouth open, eyes glazed. Words can't do justice to the emotions
Fell in love with this band when I heard this for the first time in the Astoria one saturday night. Such a top uplifting tune.
Ah! I remember getting this on vinyl in the months coming up to my Leaving Cert, was 17. Loved it! This kind of music was so new, never heard anything like it!
This is crazy. I’m a big music fan and dj on a semi regular basis, in my late 20’s. I’ve just started my new job at an art school(which I went too) and in the first year hall there are these big drawers full of records which have been there over a decade so I have been told. I kid you not first 10 or 20 records I pull out I found this I couldn’t believe it.Big up orbital!
@Marcus Murison Would you consider mixing in a bit of Dellia Darbyshire ?
I remember this song. Came out when I was in school. Absolutely loved it back then still do now. Pure classic
I wish I could hit dance floor at that time! Simply fantastic!
Listening and reading your comment I'm crying for a lost youth. Man, we had it good. ❤️
Different gravy mate.. see erm at homelands at the matersley bowl 🤪
I remember buying this version when it was released. This track is as good as it gets. One of the greatest dance anthems of all time.
Can't wait to see Phil from Orbital spin his set at Valley Festival this year! That will be a very special set. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Timeless and Groundbreaking.... we all know where we were, and what we were on when we heard this for the first time...
Seen the guys again recently perform in Glasgow. Absolute magic. Remember hearing there set on radios for Norwich sound city. Was hooked after that.
This is what introduced me to the new century at midnight back in 2000, what a tune to see in the millennium!!!! A timeless classic for all ravers!
Music-The knowledge of life. Its all related in someway or another. 60s Motown,70s Disco,80s Electronic age, Electro Hip Hop,House the use of samples,90s Drum n Bass until shite today.
Memories..Like tears in rain..
very good comment....I was going to say that but dam you beat me to it!
Summed up!
Well said "Roy"....
I was a Indie/alternative music fan in the 80s and 90s, yet always had a soft spot for good electronic/dance tunes. Loved Orbital, Leftfield, The Orb, Autechre etc......
On a comedown lying in bed listening to this. Such a perfect sound.
Was it good? My last about killed me..
fla playa Ah it was beautiful mate. Cant beat a good roller once in a while can ya.
Probably the best track ever. An absolute masterpiece. ❤❤
Had the privilege to watch orbital & shades of rythm back to back at pirate club Camden in early nineties, what a fuckin' nite, doved up dat was...... Comin' on strong
37 years later I still get goosebumps listening to all the Frankie Kmuckes tunes. Give me Telepathy or Elevation right now please! Or Legends on a Saturday night when we all thought we was above that after because of the shovel....then it all went shitty.
