I've sent it to my girlfriend. I sad to her, this is not a song, this is an opera. I had the double albums on CD. When I was young, I used to smoke, and then just lay down, and put this music on. Thank you for it.
0:12 The Box (part1) 6:40 The Box (part2) 12:22 The Box(untitled version1) 20:04 The Box(untitled version2) 28:43 The Box(Vocal reprise) 12:22 This is definitely the best part of the whole thing and deserves orbital's best work.
Same with Studio speakers its one of my go to tunes for showing them off to people hehehe... It's a fantastically produced and spectacularly mastered bit of work
It is truly baffling this just doesn't exist somewhere on streaming. Even all the singular parts are difficult to find on streaming services. I had this mp3 for many years, but as per your explanation is was apparently missing one of the parts, as it was only 28 minutes, but did have the vocal part after about 24 minutes.
back in high school days when this came out i remember chilling in my room with a few friends all tripping on acid, and one of my friend's said if anyone made a noise while this was playing we would re-start it from the beginning. which we all agreed too. we had to restart it quite a few times and some of them were definitely on purpose. finding this now and listening too it just brought back that memory, so thank you!!
I love that rule! There's no way my friend Zach would've have been able to resist when the drum part drops. We'd always look at each other when it's about to and he'd have a huge grin on his face. Oh my God. Memory retrieved.
I put this together as well for my radio show back in college. Seemed like an oversight for it not to exist! Glad to find the real full thing here. It's great.
In 1999 I didn't know that these were 4 different versions of the same track. I had an audio cassette where the tracks were recorded without pauses. I thought that this was one big form, like in academic music. Like a symphony, for example.
Thank you for merging the In Sides and The Box EP 😀 I’ve had the 4-track EP “full version” for ages and the In Sides obvsiously… this is the most wholesome The Box experience. And now there are even more variations in The Pentaverate soundtrack which is based on the Box

The 28+ minute 'full version' is also from the first US edition of the album on CD which had a bonus disc, comprised of the Times Fly EP and The Box version from other uploads as you say "claiming to be the full version", so anyone with the bonus disc would assume the version of The Box on it was the 'full version', not knowing it was actually the same as the CD single .. I had it for all these years and never realised until I read your description how it all fits together, but with that original double disc I can do what you've done by using Part 1 and Part 2 from the album, then mixing into the 28 minute version from around 4:15 when the edit of Part 2 finishes, thanks!
Never heard this before! Got to see em live & on good trips in 97 lol. Not only did they save the fn day by following Tool... when they threw in that bon jovi sample I was like wtf was that real? Hahaha best show.
they did release the box in its entirety on a import cd i still have it was all yellow and had the full version of the box with the lyrics at the end it was hard to find in the 90s
Are you referring to The Box EP (cover is on screen starting at the 1:45 minute mark)? That one did not have the part 1 which was on In Sides. I bought that one off eBay several years back. I've not seen a release that has all parts together. Was there something released other than the EP?
@@JimmyCinnamonRoll The guy is just talking about the Japan edition CD single which is all yellow but has identical music with the edit and 2 untitled versions and vocal version, same as the CD maxi single edition from Europe.
Haha...I just watched the Official Music video which strangely is only part 2 and I thought to myself that lady looks like a young Tilda Swinton. Well, I guess that's because it is. Damnit. The commercials really ruin the experience don't day.
Definitely familiar with Pt1/2 from In Sides, so kinda surprised to discover (~23 years later) there was more to this track. Granted, the connection seems a little loose, given "part three" (Pt2 from single) isn't too similar to Pt1/2 (which are clearly low-intensity/high-intensity versions of the same basic song).
Can someone tell me the frack when at t e begins singing I do love to be beside the sea side . And then a train nose comes in . Hold on wait a minute . Please help me on that was before 2000
The 28 minute version (if I remember the timing correctly) is the version from the EP and does not include Part 1 from In Sides. This version adds Part 1 to what was included on the EP.

Track 2 is one of my favourite tunes of all time to listen through headphones 🎧 Absolutely phenomenal 🙌
Agree, the 4th is my second best. An absolute masterpiece. I wish I could find this perfect making composition somewhere in the Internet in flac !
It rocks tf outta my speakers too mane
Same with Studio speakers its one of my go to tunes for showing them off to people hehehe... It's a fantastically produced and spectacularly mastered bit of work
I agree. Part 2 was always my favorite. It's so much faster and aggressive.
Medieval Synth 🎉
Man this takes me back 20+ years, thanks for uploading it. I was borderline obsessed with this shit.
When you think of yourself as the biggest fan of the box and 25 years later you find a vocal reprise and a freaky downtempo version. . . 🤯
exactly this

This is not a song, it's a composition and a masterpiece. A smorgasbord for the ears and brain. Many thanks to the poster.

This tune cannot ever be challenged or improved, hanz zimmer couldnt even touch it. Hartnol brothers just killed it with this.

This was and still is the biggest secret in British music history.
Thank you for making this available!!

Absolutely brilliant.. just found this after years .. so great ..listening to it now it’s like twisted gothic horror .. brilliant

I bought this EP on CD but no longer have a CD player and as such had forgotten just how awesome part 3 is! Thanks!
part 3 was also my favorite. i had some russian bootleg cd and this was actually track 1 and this was amazing way to start
You are a legend :) Thank you for this version!
A SPINOSAURUS IN WATER, THERE,YOU SEE IT?...
Been looking for the vocal version for ages.
perfection
the brothers hartnoll own it here in a way nobody has ever challenged or anything close.
Hermosa composición de principio a fin :D

Masterpiece. Thank you for this. I have the CD somewhere but I can't find it. The Satan Eps are fantastic too as I'm sure you all know!
This is soul music :)
I had no idea! I thought it was only parts 1 & 2. This is great.
I wish I could get an mp3 of the entire thing though so I could listen without YT.
my mate uses and recommends softonic 4k video downloader (check the legalities)
There are apps and sites that let you download TH-cam videos as mp3s.
...Sublime!

I hope they'll re-release it digitally, as it deserves it
Never heard this before! Got to see em live & on good trips in 97 lol. Not only did they save the fn day by following Tool... when they threw in that bon jovi sample I was like wtf was that real? Hahaha best show.
you take that back about Tool.
Tool followed by Orbital?! My giddy aunt, that's the perfect night right there.
How did this never occur to me in all these years. I've had both the CD single and In Sides since they came out.
amateur hour.
Classic A Master piece of electronic music 🎶 🎵 👌 🙂✌
they did release the box in its entirety on a import cd i still have it was all yellow and had the full version of the box with the lyrics at the end it was hard to find in the 90s

Is that Tilda Swinton? Holy shet

Haha...I just watched the Official Music video which strangely is only part 2 and I thought to myself that lady looks like a young Tilda Swinton. Well, I guess that's because it is.
Damnit. The commercials really ruin the experience don't day.

superfresh!!!
Nice job
15:00 is a damned good launchpad....
Shit!!! I never realize that there was 3 more parts of The Box 😱
Faultless.
Wow I have never ever heard Part 1 before! (000 to 640)
Una joya.
Why does that photo of the cabin feel so sinister?
Like it should accompany an obituary or something.

Sounds like Carter USM……maybe 101 Damnations??
COMPLETE VECNA.
Why is this different to the 28 minute version?
The 28 minute version (if I remember the timing correctly) is the version from the EP and does not include Part 1 from In Sides. This version adds Part 1 to what was included on the EP.
