20 seems to be the favorite number of the legendary electric duo better known as Orbital these days. This year marks the 20th anniversary for Phil and Paul Hartnoll. To celebrate, the brothers are releasing a brand next bot set, entitled Orbital 20. This box set will feature 20 tracks taken from the band’s 20 year discography. The only thing missing? Perhaps 20 North American tour dates?
We’re still waiting on the latter, but on June 8th, Orbital will indeed release Orbital 20 via Rhino Records. Included on the 20 tracks will be a mix of classics, remixes, live versions, and new mixes – a total package, explains Paul Hartnoll: “It’s a great introduction, or indeed a reminder, of the story so far…”
Now, if they could just expand that reminder beyond the few scheduled U.K. dates, we’d all be happy.
