  • The first time I heard this song and the album was when I was 9. It sure as hell influenced my development.

  • 7th heaven.

  • im beginning to feel the smell from the meaning of life

  • @agge1994 gooooood :) enjoy

  • Love it

  • capolavoro

  • I just found this track today, and before this i only knew the record speedfreak.. And i have to say. This record is amazing!! All the wannabee interesting music genius on you tube can bitch all they want. It's about the sound, not just the complexity of it.. And this sounds great. Excuse my crappy spelling

  • When is Orbital ever the wrong answer? Also, isn't using YouTube as your personal jukebox the best thing ever?

  • how the fuck can u dislike this

  • This album had such a huge influence on me at that particular stage of my life. I was in college in Cork, hanging out with a friend of mine. Chilling to Orbital. Good times.

  • i remeber buying this, taking the tape home, sittin in the car looking up at the clouds as they flew past the sun on this sunny april afternoon listening to this for the first time.... errrm....mind blowing, Orbital influences all of electronica still to this day, can't wait for the new album ive listened to "Never" which is off the new album and again Orbital have hit a home run awesome video, awesome sound, just f*&kin awesome

  • this is my most treasured album.

  • to christieS.The most bright eyes i've ever seen.

  • thanks for sharing. I have no words for this track. Seriously. I got this CD when it came out and I still listen.

  • wow this is a proper fucking classic

  • Crazy tune :)

    

  • Loved it..didnt understand yet, but loved it !

  • newcastle mayfair cant remember what year top notch !

  • Must- Click- Like- Button... THERE!

  • Arrgh I want to go raving for 6 months without stopping now! How dare they make such good music. Orbital are responsible for all the drug taking in the civilised world !!!

    :p

  • No chemicals needed...enjoy

    

  • Still my favorite song of all time, an amazing song, to say the least. The In-Sides album is THE all time high point of electronic music. Yes, above Prodigy's Music for the Jilted Generation, Underworld's Second Toughest in the Infants and Dubnobasswithmyheadman, FSOL's ISDN and Lifeforms (the benchmarks outside of this, as far as I am concerned). Just simply an amazing album, and an amazinggggggg track.

  • @RichterLocke only FSOL's Cascade EP is maybe better..maybe

    

  • I CAN'T STOP THE GOOSEBUMPS. D:

  • @Dendocrawr ur not suppose to : )

  • Underwhelming? Really?....I'll see your "underwhelming" and raise it with a "Blooming amazing!". I win. ;-)

  • Best song ever!!!

  • Underwhelming.

  • I fallen in love with a red headed girl and have been listening to orbital non stop. This tune just sums up my happiness about her, plus I think the title's quite appropriate.

  • I do not know on what drugs you are listening to this, but we obviously don't have the same !.... 4 peoples so far didn't toock the right ones either !....

  • Wasn't a massive fan of this album as a whole but this track is beautiful, had this pretty much on loop for a year or two, brings back memories of listening to it on the school bus, it was roughly the same time as it took to get there!

  • r.i.p sally harding

  • take my mind away, make me feel good

  • One of the the best songs of this album together with The Box. Man, I miss so the the 90' ;/

  • How can this track be 16 years old???

    I miss the 90s sp much, epic times ;-)

  • The Girl With The Sun In Her Head... Was she from Outer Space or Alien? Never mind.. She is a big love in my life, maybe the biggest.

    Thanx this great tune I remember her!

  • @Faman2009 reminds me of of a girl in the story "all summer in a day" by ray bradbury.. they lived on venus and only one girl had ever lived on earth, so she was obsessed with seeing the sun again one day..

  • simply an electro symphony

  • Orbital? Thank you for your influence in my life.....

  • @fusilier25079843 Yes ! =3 Thanks orbital...

  • This is beautiful music. Makes me want to host a rave at an abandoned mall. Just a feeling.

  • @TheRiotousMind Do That! bring back ninetees

  • @TheRiotousMind Do That! bring back ninetees

  • awesome!!!!!!!

  • @jawoodwo7164, Insides.

  • What is the name of this album? I bought in high school and loved it til it got stolen. Starting to get back into it and want it back.

  • @jawoodwo7164

    The album's called 'In Sides'.

  • @jawoodwo7164

    In Side

  • the best electronic music, that i heard

  • The perfect beginning to an amazing album...

  • this is the first song i ever heard by orbital.i was really young.and my older brother had insides lying around the house...at the time i dont know what i thought of orbital,years later i havent found music that makes me more happier.

  • So the girl is a blonde or a red head... I like to think red head, but thats just me ;]

  • 8 IDENTITIES ARE ALIENS BUT THOSE ONES THAT DOES NOT LIKE THE GOOD ONES THAT PROTECT US !

    ORBITAL- WHAT'S WRONG? ( THE HUMAN RACE IS INFECTED)

    ARE WE HERE ? (WE ARE NOT ALONE HERE )

    ORBITAL- FOREVER ! ★★★★★

  • And why is it that certain music videos on YouTube tend to start these highly emotional debates, with people calling each other idiots and assholes, while others have people generally agreeing that they like it? Maybe that's what the best (and most innovative) music does: it polarizes people!

  • This is the happiest song I've ever heard. Correction: this is the happiest song that has ever existed. Period. I dare anyone to listen to this all the way through and not have a smile on their face by the end. I double dog dare you, motherfuckers.

  • @minggnim ..and fourth: Considering music is an art form and should be interpreted and evaluated by the individual listener based upon how it makes them feel; what makes you feel you have the right to tell everyone else which music is more worthy?

    What is it about music that makes people so arrogant and opinionated? If Thai was your favourite food indulgence you wouldn't be joining Indian cuisine discussion forums to convince them that your choice in food is superior... or maybe you would.

  • Comment removed

  • First of all, i listen to everything from Physcobilly to Classical.

    Second, the bands aren't just pioneers, they're some of the greatest Rock bands of all time and will be listened to 100 years from now.

    Third,comparing the bands you mentioned to mine, is like comparing glass to diamonds.

  • what a sick track :)

  • wicked album had it 4 years so is snivilization all of them infact love orbital they rock & aphex twin

  • i saw these gents in a gas holder in Amsterdam in - er - '94? Although, for some reason, do not recall much detail........

  • @robt135utube I was there too! It was an Oscillate event also playing were HIA and Autechre. I also have very little memory of it, ha! ha! Got on Orbitals guest list - good times!

  • @TheOrbitalFan Damn you guys! :)

  • The first 38 seconds of this song remind me of about 50 different sessions in my life.

  • This is so sad and wistful; it's a bit of a tearjerker really. When the central section becomes very active and forceful it's a lot more cheerful, but the end still seems to imply something good that's gone forever.

    As a tribute to a deceased friend, the Hartnolls couldn't have written it any better. Moving stuff.

  • whenver I hear this song I feel like Im in a really good retro scifi movie

  • I remember putting that cd in my stereo and just being blown away

    Next level stuff really

  • theyre too impressed by the latest facebook gadget or twitter tweet-its just ignorance really lol

  • Best moment for me is 6:10 when the manic hammond organ kicks off.

    

  • this melody is more or less lifted direction from necros - shadow caster!

  • @gobblock A quick search of Youtube comes back with "shadowcaster - a remix of orbital's

    'the girl with the sun in the head'

  • @tomstickland

    but there is also the s3m floating around that isnt a remix that predates it

  • Comment removed

  • @gobblock Which was written as a remix of this track, silly.

  • the part in 2:16, when they lower the background sound, is the best part of the entire track. These guys are just amazing

  • Amazing song, amazing album.

  • Jesus, what an amazing track. I must have listened to this abum daily for a year after I bought it!

  • BEST LP!

  • One of the best in all of the world!

  • I still remember the very moment I heard this song for the first time. Had bought the CD in spring but never got around listening to it. Had surgery and was out for a while. Got back out, out into god's biggest playground. My first time doing a 14er without painkillers ... an incredible winter day ... sunshine ... endless blue sky ... colorado ... and then by accident popped this one in as the first sony on my way back. Guess this song will be forever in the soundtrack to my life.

  • Always find this very moving :) some things can be done without bombs or bullets.

  • Lady Gaga blows goats you insufferable jackass!

  • Quality music from the 90s! and what do you get? lady gaga and dead mouse (that's how i call him)

  • @incunabula5 don't dis dead mouse or Lady Gaga for that matter, totally different worlds, Orbital's great, ok, let's leave it at that. Does there always have to be someone to shit on in place of the greats? If so you've chosen poorly, both DeadMau5 and Gaga are extremely talented in their own right. There are way less talented shlocks in the industry, you however chose two of the few that remain self skilled and self inspired. thank you try again.

  • All done with solar power apparently

  • Wicked, memories, thanks.

    ONE LOVE ;)

  • love it mmmmm

  • not quite, you obviously haven't listened to the album, just wait for the BOXpt1&2

  • Great track. This album (Insides) was the first album I ever bought. Cant believe it still works. Without doubt the most played album I own. I HAD to listen to this, P.E.T.R.O.L., The Box & Adnans before I went to school / on my lunch break & as soon as I got home. Thought provoking dance music at its very best.

  • One of my favourite ever tracks from one of my favourite ever albums. Every track evokes a detailed and slightly disturbing picture.

  • My all time favorite track. I grew up on this shit. This and Gran Turismo 3 together FTW

  • The start reminds me of the pink floyd heart beat sound....

  • This song takes me somewhere else. Many thanks to those who posted it. Enjoy, all.

  • Orbital is so amazing.

  • i bet there are no comments like this on biebers channel! god bless him and gaga to hell. in propper music we trust.

  • @PatsyBailey I so agree my friend, this won't never be a has been because impossible to re do the same feeling, I did the same thing as you with my vinyl copy of " the Brown album", but fortunately i can still listen to it because so carefully with that treasure. may be Orbital could do it again, but no one else .. that's for sure. By the way did you listened to " the gun is good'?? just a strike in my head.....

  • walking into HMV in 1994 hearing "Forever" from Snivilisation I knew I'd hit on a life changing musical moment... I have every album, single, promo, white label, CD released by Orbital... They helped me though 15 years of good times and bad times... When I can't think of anything else to listen to in the world I know Halcyon will always put a smile on my face... I cannot thank you enough for that song alone... Raising my glass to you both... Phil & Paul... 

  • @flipflopflappppppppp Weird, I did similar with Crash & Carry (although it was Our Price), and to be fair, I'd already bought the Radiccio EP. But still...

  • @flipflopflappppppppp Sounds like me! I can't agree with your sentiment more.

  • alcatraz ekectro , they have 100 synths, best band ever

  • The tape of this album was in my car stereo for so long that I wondered if I would ever take it out. Stuck it on auto reverse and played it over and over until the tape stretched, when this album was released I didn't need any other music for ages. Pure brilliance.

  • @totoathens An institute for the criminally insane!!!

  • As a fan of their previous albums, I came to this one and thought "they've sold out, it's fucking awful", after a couple more listenings, it's probably their best album, I dunno, I just like most of their stuff, this one remains pretty fuckin cool.

  • Like so many of the comments, yeah, this album remains one of my favourites of all time. I don't even listen to electronic music any more these days, but Orbital will always have a huge place in my heart. <3 <3 <3

  • Perfect...

  • Hard to believe this album is 15 years old now, Bought when it first came out and i can easily say that this is one of my favorite albums of all time.

  • This brings back so many memories! what a tune, I wish they would come back so i could see them live!

  • Holy crap I have a brain injury and cannot feel emotions but my sixth sense is bringing out the best out of me with this one

  • im with u there wizracket

  • This is one step further from Kraftwerk.

  • @maruthamarutha A brave comment but very, very true. Orbital are the absolute kings of the electronic universe and Kraftwerk are their ancestors!!!

  • This album IS the sound of the Third Millenium. A weird sound of Man in cosmos. New adventures...

  • have you seen the note on the album cover that this track was put together with solar power from some crazy eco lorry,

  • 4 people don't have a sound card.

  • @bluerhythm8 That's probably the most clever out of all the "dislike bar" comments I've ever heard. And yeah, I find it hard to believe you could dislike this song!

  • この盛り上がるのか盛り上がらないかの微妙なところがオービタル­らしくて良い!

  • at times moves me to tears..

  • @wizzracket yeah,it is kinda sad,but wheb I play it to my 5 year old daughter and see her listen carefully,everything makes sense

  • ¥T

  • Comment removed

  • the first drop is just too sick

  • constuction, this song along with so many others by Obitalan ear and voice of our epoque! Can you imagine any other band being capable of rendering such a true definition of what we all live in... no words we don't need pollution just listen to the blood following....

  • I always get lost in this song.

  • @OneMoreSchlup if thats the case then orbital did their job well, start to finish this album is awesome

  • Recorded using electricity from Greenpeace's 'Cyrus' solar power generator. +1

  • best album ever...FACT

  • A good friend just died. This was my FB dedication, Orbital Rules!

  • brings back loads of memories, mainly of being high

  • just listen to the perfection around 5:05. How come this gathering of old synthersizer sound gives me goosebumbs every single time i listen to it? Would F*** this song if only it was possible

  • Props to you patsybailey

    nearly all the music i had back then was on ever degrading mixtapes,all lost and turned to dust from overuse. thank god for the tube and people like all you

  • @PatsyBailey

    I know how you feel, but I had to buy a new album, I needed to take it with me wherever I go.

    ^_^

  • @PatsyBailey Well said! A true devotee.

  • Epic, just epic...

  • Awsume track still, old school is with out a doubt the very best.

  • I wish they played this or any sort of old school electronic music in clubs instead of all this commercial hip hop/pop shite it just doesn't do owt for me! I wish I could live through the 90's rave era. I'm gonna blaim my parents for not conceiving me earlier lmao

  • @SpasticRapist23 I agree entirely! I WAS there however and it was the best clubbing experience ever. There was a freedom about the variety of tunes you'd hear too. Not such pigeon-holeing of themed nights like 'House' or 'Trance' it was just great music! However some of those memories are a bit blurry! Say no more.... :0)

  • i love orbital!

  • i just don't get it... what is wrong with the music nowadays? people just get influenced to easily by this pop crap they show you on tv! its like they dont even want to shape their own musical taste. its a shame really.

    is it just me or is everything going downhill?

  • @MrMushroom123

    It is mate.......

  • @MrMushroom123

    Yeah stuff sucks,

    but today our last hope is 'boards of canada.'

  • @dklustick

    Music will always have the right to children!

  • @MrMushroom123 cause nowadays people eats hay

  • @MrMushroom123 : it's been going downhill for a while, now. All we can hope for is this era of disposable music to run its course so music can go back to being art first, product second. I've seen a bunch of comments on You Tube from younger listeners, espousing something to the extent of "I missed this generation of music - it's so honest, 90's music rocks!" That makes me smile and gives me hope.

  • @littleshovel 90's music sucked. You're right about one thing though, it's been going downhill for a while... since the late 70's .

  • @minggnim The entire decade of music sucked, huh? I'll tell you what sucks, your music collection.  The 90's produced TONS of great music: De La Soul, Soundgarden, The Orb, Fugazi, The Jesus Lizard, DJ Shadow, Tribe Called Quest, The Pixies, Aphex Twin, Yo-La-Tengo, Squarepusher.....etc, etc, etc.

  • @littleshovel Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles...!

  • @minggnim: Look, no one's saying that those bands weren't pioneers in their own right. But, if that's the stuff you listen to, why the hell are you commenting on an Orbital song (or music in general)? Go listen to the radio. You'll be much happier.

  • @minggnim are you 51 years old? lmao

  • @bikenutter1 Fuck, I'm getting there. 18 year olds today? Their mouths are locked onto one another's genitals in a rotating fashion.

    When you were 18, you would have had sex with 2 people.

    An eighteen year old today had sex with 40 people, and maybe a football team on the side.

    True free love.

    If you don't want a future, and if you wear a condom, snag that 18 year old.

    She'll remember, but she won't attach any importance to it. Oh, that was Thursday.

    No shit.

  • @SheikhTaqiyyameister WTF are u talking about!!!! Jeez some ppl r proper NUTS! ha

  • @littleshovel Check out Simian Mobile Disco and Digitalism. You'll have something new to smile about!

  • @MrMushroom123 theres always been mainstream pop that's shite. but back then there was a healthy independent scene and unfortunately because of economic problems that's just not sustainable anymore. of course music is still being made but you just have to look harder for it and not wait till someone has to tell you its ok to like it.

  • @PatsyBailey

    Just glad there are people out there who still love this stuff.

    I'll never forget this album- partly due to the era of my life but mostly due to its brilliance.

  • For me, this is seriously one of the best pieces of electronic music ever made. Tears, memories, life, music that goes straight into the heart, music is the best time machine...thanks a million for uploading! :o)

  • matthew herbert

    

  • really crazy song, people appreciate this, this is really awesome analogue electronica.

  • xxxx

  • 4ever

  • There's a lot of system 100 and arp 2600 in this..

  • Layer upon Layer of Interwoven harmony!! Perfect!

  • @xoio 5 layers, I think? But each one has a powerful, narrative voice.

  • Awesome.

  • when i first heard this it reminded me of ray bradbury's short story "all summer in a day" where this colony of people live on venus and the sun comes only once every 7 years! and this one girl is the only one who's seen the sun before so all the kids are jealous of her :(

  • @starsweet4 Actually, theres one girl who didn't sing any songs about fun or games, and only the sun. She had lived on earth, and she longed to see it, to feel it again, but when the Scientists predicted there was going to be sun, her peers locked her in a closet because she didn't fit in. The sun came out and all the students went out in the sun with such joy, they would stare at the sun until their eyes teared and play like never before. Only when the sun is gone they realize she was left out

  • @SourPuddle yeah i know.. i just didn't wanna write out the whole story, so i summarized it :)

  • @SourPuddle the song title just made me think of the girl in that story.. and the song's moody atmosphere fits the story as well

  • 6:10 sick synth jam!

  • Like this track

  • In my book, you know an artist is a genius and their music is classic if it gives you goose bumps every time you hear it . :-)

  • I first heard this record from a friend back when I was 15 or 16. It blew my mind back then, and it still blows my mind now. My music serves as the soundtrack to my life, and this album hits me on so many different levels. I bought a used copy of the US 2-CD edition for $8. This album is in my Top 5 All-Time Favorities, along with Kraftwerk's "Computer World", Black Sabbath's "Paranoid", Depeche Mode's "Black Celebration" and Black Flag's "Damaged".
