Orbital 'Best Of' & Live Dates

• 8th May 2009

After unveiling headline performances at this summer’s hottest dance festivals, as well as a UK headline tour, dance pioneers Orbital announce the release of their most well known tracks plus some new mixes. Simply titled ‘ORBITAL 20’ the compilation celebrates 20 years of ground-breaking electronica, reworked and remixed onto 2 CD’s of generation-defining dance music, to be released on June 8th via Rhino Records.

“This compilation is the most definitive summary of our work since ‘Chime’ came out in 1989”, says Paul Hartnoll on the release of their definitive collection, “It's a great introduction, or indeed a reminder, of the story so far…”

Featuring brand new remixes of ‘Halcyon’ (Tom Middleton) and ‘Lush‘ (Herve) with a remix of ‘Impact’ (James Zabelia), released on the i-Tunes version of the album.
