A remix of a track from Orbital's In Sides album, the album being a personal favourite. This had Out The Somewhere Part 1 and Part 2 , hence this being Part 3. To be fair, this is less a remix than a reinterpretation of Part 2 . It is ambient but the bell adds an element of randomness that avoids the ambient snooze territory. Very nice. To listen and download. http://soundcloud.com/hugo32

Presenting a finger lickin' sixties soul ten pack. Not the big names, mind, but all-killer-no-filler just the same. Cause I felt like it, that's why. Bless your little sweet soul...

Now I think I'm an open-minded kind of chap. I eat Marmite, accept that correct use of the possessive apostrophe is long gone and that young people will be permanently talking on their mobile phones. But I'm really struggling with someone remixing my all time favourite - Orbital's Belfast - from a chilled classic into a moody techno / tech house chugger. Loses the beauty and wonder that made the original so precious. Blurb: Dopamine has had a long association with Lot49 delivering some diverse and highly successful singles for the label, so we [...]

The last of the 2001 remixes, last one for this holiday series and, for me, head and shoulders above the rest of the entries. This classic piece of downtempo remixing of Are We Here? deserved an official release. Eight minutes of inventive weaving of the original into a piece of superb electronica that doesn't sound dated today. Orbital - Seldom Angry Oft Sleepy (hello 6am) http://www.loopzorbital.com/co mpo/2001/mp3/13%20Seldom%20Ang ry%20Oft%20Sleepy%20-%20hello6 am.MP3 And here's the video for the original track: via [...]

A mid paced IDM romp that, like the Attached (reattached remix) which preceded it yesterday, is perfectly fine but slightly unmemorable. Orbital - Forever (blowing bubbles remix) by Craig Deacon http://www.loopzorbital.com/co mpo/2001/mp3/12%20forever%20(b lowing%20bubbles%20mix).MP3 via Loopz And here's the original track done live at Glasto

One of the weaker remixes in the competition this remix by Dane Jacobs burbles along in a perfectly fine but ultimately unmemorable manner. Orbital - Attached (reattached remix) http://www.loopzorbital.com/co mpo/2001/mp3/11%20attachedremi x.MP3 via Loopz
I will stop posting combinations of Orb/William Orbit/Orbital when I stop finding Orb/William Orbit/Orbital singles. The Orb Blue Room Blue Room (Radio 7) Blue Room (Excerpt 605) Towers of Dub (Mad Professor Remix) That first version of "Blue Room" is indeed the full uncut version. For those of you who may not know, that means it's 39 minutes and 58 seconds long. The Orb made a 39 minute and 58 second long song because that was the longest [...]

Another remix of Satan but rather different from the Hellfire mix of a few days ago. This is by Cubaseuser (Andreas Fichtner). It is shorter, much more acid in its approach and gives it a classic Detroit techno makeover. The vocal sample that so defines the start of the Orbital original is saved until two thirds of the way through. And slightly wasted in the process. Orbital - Satan (Echoed down to Earth RMX) http://www.loopzorbital.com/co mpo/2001/mp3/10%20Satan(Echoed %20down%20to%20Earth%20RMX).MP 3 via Loopz

Another remix that takes the softly softly approach. This remix relies on chiming piano and xylophone for its drive. It is a long way from Orbital's work on 20012s The Altogether from which the original track is taken. Orbital - Delayed Shadows remixed by Gui Via Loopz
Jamie XX did an Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 on Saturday. If you don't know these mixes tend to be longer, but they're generally quite good and with Jamie XX behind the mix, you can expect nothing but superb quality. The long list of songs are after the break below, stream it or download [...]

A remix of Doctor Look Out a B side from the single Beached (2000), which is called big drums and does exactly what it says on the tin, in keeping the Doctor Who style synths and adding some big fat drums, which makes it all sound terribly contemporary. Fine mix. Orbital - Doctor Lookout (Offshore Big Drums) remixed by Offshore (Jeremy Carter and Chris Morgan) via Loopz

Since we had a 2001 competition remix of Orbital's Kein Trink Wasser this morning, I thought we'd have a remix of the same track from 2011 by Brazillian DJWaca. To listen and download. The 2001 remix was synth trance. This one keeps the introductory piano but with a slight stutter. It is much more of a tech house take on the original but doesn't depart too far from it. Pleasant but not essential. http://soundcloud.com/dj-waka

Orbital's Kein Trink Wasser comes from their third album Snivilisation (1994). This is remixed by dis, who turns the introductory piano into synths, with a new Moroderesque bassline. This makes the whole thing veer slightly into synth trance territory. Orbital - Kein Trink Wasser (dis mix) Via Loopz And here's Orbital playing the proper track live at Glasto in 1995, with that lovely piano intro. D and I were close by but sadly not seeing Orbital as I was having a Glasto 'moment'.

After the out and out assault that is the Orbital original mix of Satan (1991) it is a bit of a shock to hear this mix slow everything down to a piece of drawn out menace. More soundtrack than club track. Twice the length of the original, this is dark IDM. Until half way through when it all goes off and that familiar battering comes through. Orbital - Satan (Hellfire Mix) by Chris Bentley Thanks to Loopz .

Unsurprisingly, uses Adnans from Insides (1997). This is a nice remix but the last 10 years haven't been kind to it and it does sound oddly dated these days in its techno stylings. Orbital - Adnans (sub roks outsides remix) remixed by Sub-Rok (aka Tristian Markey) From: http://www.loopzorbital.com/bl og/?page_id=729

Second from a 2001 competition on the excellent Loopz website. Uses the beautiful Lush (1993) as its starting point. Another remix that is gentler and more bubbly acid than the original. Uses plenty of the plaintive female vocal sample. Orbital - Lush (MMT8 Mix)

Kaytradamus - Night Night Kaytradamus - Tiens Ton Fusils Kaytradamus - Sakapfet? Homie reppin' Montreal "Kaytradamus" came thru swingin' his productions on this ones kids..."Kaytra LaBoom" is already for you beat freaks out there.. Simply the backdrops where crafted so proficient, it was hard to pick out tracks for this post...Although the sound is real keen with the spacey tempos, chops, sample snips, but the bass lines are way intelligent...This album slaps!...No if's end's or buts...Support the Artistry! and peep out the past material [...]

Today's Orbital competition remix from Loopz is Technoir's remix of Last Thing . Last Thing is taken from 20012s The Altogether , which whilst better than 19992s The Middle of Nowhere , was still only a middling album by Orbital's standards. Technoir takes Last Thing and turns in a lovely dark, crunchy techno mix that works well ten years later. Orbital - Last Thing (Last Minute Remix) by Technoir via Loopz
