- Orbital first appearance on Top Of The Pops (BBC) performing "Chime"
First broadcast on March 22nd 1990
To celebrate "30Something" and the recent release of the @elibrownbeats remix of "Chime" (orbital30something.lnk.to/Chi..., we looked deep into the archives and found Orbital's first appearance on Top of the Pops where they play "Chime"
Paul said “I told the manageress ‘I can’t work on Wednesday.’ ‘Oh, why?’ ‘I’ve got to go and do Top of the Pops ‘. Well, she just screamed. ‘Are you joking?’ I said ‘Do you know what? I don’t think I’m coming back.’"
“Top Of The Pops insisted that we mime, however, when they provided us with flashy keyboard stands we sent them away and got trestle tables from the canteen. In our minds, flashy keyboard stands just wasn’t us. We were used to performing on tables at the backs of pubs and we just had to set things up the way we knew. Still, we were so embarrassed to be miming."
“I’d always complained stroppily whenever I saw people doing the same on Top Of The Pops, and now here we were, miming while some woman danced next to us in leggings, a silver top and a silver hat. She looked bored, we looked embarrassed and Top Of The Pops said ‘We’ll never have them back again.’
“As it happens, they did, but only once the staff had been replaced by people who’d forgotten they would never have us back again!”
Note: the plug on top of the equipment!

Ahh, the lads pioneering the use of completely-wireless MIDI gear, years before it was a thing!
LOL! Cant blame them tbf, it was nothing out of the ordinary back then, plus TOTP wouldnt let you do a true live.
@@mrkrotosuk Yeah! They were making a bold statement about the fakery of 'live' performances on the show, whilst also making a stand against the poll tax.
The audience clapping like a mum who doesn't understand but is still proud.
Nobody has seen stuff like that by then…
@@egukoucu ~ yeah I know mate.
😂😂😂💯
People don't do the "trying to escape from your baggy mac" dance enough these days. The dancer is demonstrating it perfectly here.
You don’t clap on the downbeat. This is science.
Orbital unplugged
Severely underrated comment.
@@jayhache5609 cheers.
🤣😂🤣
Nice to see Paul on Sunday Brunch this morning 😊
TOTP really didn't know what to do with electronic dance acts back in the 90s. Love the upturned mains plug on top of one of the synths, very cheeky!
Lol! Well spotted.
LOL, excellent
2:19 where Paul is smiling into the camera. They wanted to play live but weren't allowed to. Hence the aimless standing about and lack of cables.
Plug the Synth's in Boys. (If you know,you know)
Man that clapping 😫
They look like a right pair of scallys 😘
NO POLL TAX. Keeping it real boyyyzzz!!
ABSOLUTELY TIMELESS
simply never gets old
I wonder if she was eventually included as part of the James Webb Space Telescope, or if the jacket branched out alone?
😁
I miss my youth
I've seen a ton of pop stars lip sync on stage (ugh...), but this is the first time I've seen a performance with unplugged synths.....lol. Hilarious. You can tell they're a little bothered.
They were way ahead of the times with their fully wireless hardware. 😄
those were the rules of the show
This is the moment the boys said 'Never again...' to fake performances thereby beginning their journey to becoming the legendary live performers that they are.
Posted one day ago on 02/05/2022 still the hottest music til this day 😎🙏🏾💯✌🏾
I remember meeting them on 20th December 2018. Phil told us to call him fun Uncle Phil
Such legendary tune, just perfection, never gets old.
Aaah, two days after my 23rd birthday! 😊 I was listening to them on my cassette Walkman all the time!
The day after my 26th….
@@simonwild428 👍👍
One day before my 23rd! Still feel that old inside my head 😂
Old vintage forever fresh !
💕
This is hilarious. Miming to that track. Captures a moment tho. Love it 🥰
orbital unplugged
Then , now and forever!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💞💞💞💞💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗💗💗💕💕💕💕💕
Best miming ever at the time.. ground breaking and raised the bar. 😉
Tell you what those boys could do with; couple of pairs of spectacles with lil LEDs on 'em; see where to plug the keebs in ;) Totally Beautiful Bringing of Music!
To be honest I've just discovered this song one month ago and it is awesome... If I would have heard it in the club I would say it is from 2023... It sounds so modern... Greetings from Poland!
Still one of the best tracks....
Really working it hard there - genius
'Yeah, we're not miming...'
Great tune and makes me die each time I watch this 'performance' 😂
Nostalgic Video!
2:32 "No" on one shirt, "Poll Tax" on the other shirt. 🙂
WOW...NOW THIS IS TAKING ME BACK !
Those keyboards and drum machine set up was the business .
My word, that is very awkward isn't it. Awesome 😃
Hummm sweet 🙏🇧🇪
Awesome - watched it at the time of broadcast and hit record on the VCR. I think your version is probably better quality than mine. This is where it all began for me.
Lots going on there
Wow! Great vid!
Superb ! 🙂
❤️
Ohh .... their faces says it all!!
))), great video amazing tune
NO POLL TAX!
And behold, there was no Poll Tax!
Yeahhhhh. 👁Cool👁👍👍
Legends
So cool
it parallels world maybe 🤔 you are the best! 😭
That is super epic.
How young we were...
Thanks. Just fekn thanks 👍🏼🙏🏼 there really was a 1990👌🏼😂🎼 ☯ ʘRBÏTÅ|_ ☯
🔥🔥🔥
Hahahaha, so the legend begins
think about how different the energy is here to what the boys will have been used to. like when they brought kong from skull island to show off to the city dwellers.
That bored dancer is probably someone's nan now. XD
she's 55-60 now
@@ArnoldLokman nah, if she was 18-19 in 1990 she'll be 51-52 tops
@@Eightball69 well, 60 is too much, but 55 can be
@@ArnoldLokman Now I feel even fkin older man!
Be great to find out who she is and what she's doing now. They should do a reunion.
Nice stage
Yet to have quite refined their stage craft!
Great balls of fire
Note the T-shirts 😁👍
What are the T-shirts?
@@fucksake893 No Poll Tax
Its not like they were trying to hide it, infact you can see them giggling about it and making it obvious lol. They had no choice, they either did it and got exposure (and paid) or not. You would be stupid to not take the offer back then
The days of wireless keyboards 😂
The chic has some funky moves relevant even in 2022
She has eternal beauty.
Never heard the track before either 🤷♂️
😎 😎
yeah
Was an actual Video made for Chime (at the time)? Was it ever played on The Chart Show or similar?
:) always funny to see a fake live concert, loving this though
😀😃😀😁🐼👻😉♥️♥️♥️
Nice shirts ☠️
🤲🤲🤲
Painfully awkward, but amazing to see! XD
You know, if she just zipped it up properly she wouldn't have to wriggle to keep it on.
Who was the dancer?
Choon. KLF went one better by playing chess instead of performing. Was this really 32 years ago.....????
That was The Orb...not KLF :)
@@Loopzofficial oh yeah. Well similar era etc. Like i said....32 years ago 😀
@@Loopzofficial well, The Orb was partially the KLF, although a couple of years before The Blue Room
@@ArnoldLokman lol, yes Jimmy Cauty left The Orb in 1990 but the Chess like game on TOTP was in 1992 with Alex Paterson & Kris Weston. You started with £100 but you go home with nothing ;)
@@Loopzofficial smells like false domination
They created wifi😂
😅
Very funny. Standing around doing nothing 😅
69th comment!! Bi-Winning!!
Weird BPM, awkward to dance to, epic British House music. Second only to Voodoo Ray 👐
We need a prequel story for the dancer. But don't worry, Disney will stoop that low now theyre near the end of ruining Star Wars and Marvel.
обасрался от счастья
420th like!! I won!! Where's my free weed and xtc?
Кака фуета! Но колбасились же!
After 30 seconds I thought: "what a long intro", after 45 I realized that that was the actual song. BOOOORING
Delete this.
You cannot be serious.
Ok boomer
