WOW!

i just heard this again for the first time in a long time. fucking brilliant tune. they sure dont (or cant) make em like this any more.

discuss.!?.!?

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

This was actually the song that got me into Orbital many, many years ago. Still love it and I went bonkers every time they'd play this live. :CandyPop:

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

i think the first time i heard it was on the Hackers soundtrack. which sure as hell got a lot of repeats on my lil boom box back in the day.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

I got this on a mixtape from a coworker in another state. I'd helped her out with a bunch of stuff so her way of thanking me was sending me a mixtape. I believe this was the second song on side B.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

I wish I could see the Hartnoll boys just one more time.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

mix tapes :CrackUp:

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

Mix tapes were the shit. I remember in the 80s I had three tape decks, two EQs, an amp. that had some cool distortion and blend effects and one turntable. The good ol' days.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

classic .. really enjoyed on ++

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

Halcyon + on + on

:CandyPop:

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

yeppers!

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

I remember hearing this at the end of the Mortal Kombat movie which came out just before or right around the time Hackers came out. This is one of Orbitals best tracks, although they do have some other great ones (Adnan's = :RockOn:).

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

the box is a classic also ... the 28+ min one though. i never did acid again.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

Some others? Fuckin' christ. They have a massive amount of gems.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

Great Song.

An understatement, of course. ;)

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

personally i think orbital - in sides is one of the best albums i,ve ever heard, i was always into the orbital sound but this was just amazing when it was released, man if you havnt heard it then i highly recomend it for just chillin on a nice hot summers day

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

The Brown album is my favorite. :RockOn:

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

beanz and jibs are fags but nonetheless On and On IS a GREAT TUNE. rOCK ON ORBITAL, Beanz and Jibs Are Gay.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

not as gay as the homosexual penis in your throat at this exact moment.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

We know that SickBoy is gay. He blew off a date with a girl to hang out with a couple of AIDS infested faggots. :roflmao:

Wow... you really know how to miss the point in life... I'll make it a point to remember who on this board still thinks you are great after that one... will save me a lot of time :)

And has anyone heard the live version of this track that goes into some twisted backwards vocal action? A must hear...

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

............... ............................ ..............................................but that track by Orbital is pretty good huh.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

Poto, ask him about those faggots from the beach, marknmike. You obviously don't know about SickBoy's other life. :Anal:

Great mood music.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

[quote=Jibgolly]i think the first time i heard it was on the Hackers soundtrack. which sure as hell got a lot of repeats on my lil boom box back in the day.[/quote] ditto that. that soundtrack is what got me into this music. by far the best movie soundtrack ever.

Orbital_Live @ Maida Vale Studio (07-28-04) still gets played here a lot.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

No way. Best movie soundtrack ever was for Return of The Jedi. :RockOn:

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

^^ word. :RockOn:

Youre right Jibby, they dont make em like that anymore.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

The live version when it cuts to Belinda Carlisle and dependant on when you saw them Bon Jovi is awesome:twisted: does anyone know where I may be able to download this from as I only have it on a c90 and I no longer have a tape player:shock:

[quote=beanzncheez]Some others? Fuckin' christ. They have a massive amount of gems.[/quote]

sheeeet, i remember being so drunk one time that i was dancing my ass off when the dj played the Mortal Kombat theme. to this day, my friends have never let me live that one down.

[quote=beanzncheez]I wish I could see the Hartnoll boys just one more time.[/quote]

hey beanz, my brother said that phil hartnoll played that track at spundae when he spun there a week ago. he also said that the crowd went nuts when phil put on the signature orbital flashlight glasses. hehe.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

Great tune and classic.. Love the Box too. They dont make em like they used to. ;)

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

I was told that the vocals used in Halcyon were samples from "It's a fine day" in reverse? Or something like that anyway. Anyone know?

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

i love "you lot".

the vocal just kinda gets me, with the warped backing.

AAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

That was a staple in their set for many, many years.
