Originally released in 1993, Orbital’s sophomore album (known as ‘The Brown Album’) marked a significant evolution in the band’s sound. Now reissued on gold and khaki vinyl for indies. Tracks such as ‘Halcyon + On + On’, ‘Impact (The Earth Is Burning)’ and ‘Lush 3-1’ and ‘Lush 3-2’ demonstrated new levels of scope and ambition, with the album reaching new levels of emotional connection for electronic music, balancing rhythms with melodic flourishes.
‘The Brown Album’ was regarded as an instant classic, with NME awarding the album 9/10, and it was chosen as one of Mixmag’s Best Dance Albums Of All Time.
