Orbital - The Box



Now for something completely different. I was reminded of this a couple of times recently, once when someone on the radio suggested it was the scariest song they knew, and once when Michael Evis was talking about them playing Glastonbury in... 1996? I was lucky enough to be there, and it was a pretty special moment.

This is a great single, and the b-sides are completely different versions of it, which might as well be different songs. The first is a kind of atmospheric, dark kind of thing, and the second is more harpsichord-based. The vocal one has vocals on it, see?

1. The Box (radio edit)
2. The Box (untitled version)
3. The Box (another untitled version)
4. The Box (vocal reprise)

Go to it.
