No ... its definatly not an ORBITAL release and Phil and Paul never wrote it. Someone else is using the Orbital name it appears. Ive listened to the track and if i remember correctly it was very upbeat.

There was a massive oil tanker that crashed into the rocks off the Welsh coast (Wales) due to bad weather. As the ship was slowly ripped apart, tons of oil leaked into the sea. Birds and many other animals/wildlife died due to the oil spill. When Paul/Phil wrote the track they were inspired by the scenes and thought that one track sounded like the evil pollution that spread itself across the Welsh coast.

This track was written for Sally Harding who sadly passed away on December 10th 1995. Sally was Volume's most popular and creative photographer. Her photographic career started with an Orbital session for Volume Three in March 1992 and she became a regular contributor, specialising on the electronic side (photographing half the artists for the Trance Europe Express series). Demand grew for her talent - she was comissioned by more labels and had started to freelance for Melody Maker. Like the people she photographed, she was a rising star of the times, destined to be synonymous with the 90s. A compilation CD was released called "Sally's Photographic Memory". There is a tribute page on the Loopz site - click here to view it.

(10/10/98) - Speaking to Paul Hartnoll on the 2/10/98, he stated that they would most likely tour the Uk and then maybe visit the US. Even IF this does happen it wouldnt be until Spring 1999.

(10/10/98) I decided on constructing the website to spread up-to-date News for Orbital. The official site (Rise) was terrible for News updates. BBS mailing was the only communcation i was actively doing prior to the website , i had to make the jump and get the name Orbital on everyones lips. The Paper zine was created as another avenue to spread the Orbital news...but i was also able to offer the service of fan feedback directly to Orbital. As for the start date...i am guessing at about late 1995 for the website. It was based in Hong Kong and i had only 100K to play with. The idea of the paper zine and its first issue was around the In Sides tour...May 1995.

(10/10/98) A very very hard question to answer. Each album has its unique highlights for me. I think i would say the latest sound of Orbital appeals to me - In Sides has always took a lot of my time up. But my first Orbital album - Green Album - would also be a joint favourite.
