i once saw the day break to this tune , heading up the M1 from nottingham back home the sky broke from dark to light , the sky split open right in front of me , first a vertical split , then a second or 2 later ... the horizontal gash of sunlight , what a sight it was , what a tune for my ears to experience , magical moment
What a tune..... this has to be one of my all time favourites... Used to listen to this coming down of copious amounts of class a... back in the early 90's... timeless..
written by Orbital one night after playing with David Holmes at the Art College in Belfast , they were on their way to a party in the early hours driving through the streets and this track was born ..............................effortless genius
This finished off a mix by god knows who, when I was growing up. All I knew it as was "the orange tape" (no cd's in them days). I spent many a night sat round my mates old house tripping my tits off looking at the patterns in the wallpaper. Them were the days
"Possibly the most eautiful record ever made!!".... Come back on earth mate, hello!!!! this is good, but faaaar from beeing the best piece of music ever made.
@509sk8ers don't get me wrong I love this track... but they are many other tunes that are upthere with it... a lot of classic music to begin with.... then a lot detroit bizness.
But you are quite prepared to mock my opinion, thinking that yours is correct. Makes you somewhat of a hypocrite. Just re read your posts, you make yourself look so silly.
So 25 other morons agree with you, well done for you, you are accepted by the online community.
My friend fwd this to me and said it would make me smile. It's waaaaay more than that. This track emotes my soul more than anything else I've ever heard, EVER!
Truly the greatest come down choon of all time..... Mmmmmmm wallow in your come down.... and squeeeeEeeeeze every last drop of Ecstasy out your pills ;-) ahhhhhh yeaaahhhhhhh! :-)
I remember driving home listening to this on Radio 1 in the early hours of the 1st of january 2009 as the sun was coming up.... after a horendous Door shift at oceana Notts...Happy times...;-)
@MrCorgiReg EXACTLY! Like leaving Alan Davis Beach at 6am after another epic beach party, heading to work and slipping on the headphones while you reminisce about all of the beauty you encountered that night. (Wow, just got really a sentimental feeling there for a minute)
the story goes that its named because of a club in Belfast called Shine, which if I'm not mistaken is still running. I think Orbital were there and were impressed at the house music scene bridging the religious divide in Northern Ireland and bringin ghte two communities together. If the song evokes one thing its peace and coming together, which I think is pretty apt in the context of that club
its not really designed for dancing to though I have witnessed many who have done so as the sun rises over the med in the ealry hours after raving all night :):) great electronica
@orsonkarte actually while im online. if you saw the film and didnt get it then i am sorry for you, i really am. that might go some way into explaining why you feel the need to go on the internet to tell poeple they FAIL or that they're "ghey". mate you sound like a total fuckin loser so kiss my arse.
i love this track , but was this also on a compalation of rave athems , im looking to find a song on that cd , whats the name any know it had a s0ng from earthleakage too thats all i remember\
Epic nostalgic track for me. Brings back sunrise twilight drive home from raves back in the day and default track for early morning drives on a road trip.
Not wrong bruv, this has so many special memories for me, one of my all-time faves! So much emotion, can make me so happy and so sad at the same time! Long live Orbital :)
This song was written by orbital as they drove through the streets of Belfast at about 6am looking for a party with David Holmes after playing at the Art College , I was there that night.....
i saw them at global gathering this year and they i was far to fucked from night before and this was last track i can remember hearing before i fell into a far to mashed coma lol! awesome last memory of the festival, fuck knows what happened after that lol!
i'm told the opera singer sampled in this wonderful track is a certain Lisa Gerard. Check her out...........she's wonderful. Orbital only chose the best.
The bit where you're till intense, where you're still nodding your head, where you're still grinding your teeth, where you still think you want hardcore, where you still feel this is hardcore..................
But it's not. It's beautiful............and you're closer to Earth than you want to be.
Actually, it's Hildegaard of Bingen's song 'O Euchari'. It was sampled in The Beloved's 'The Sun Rising'. Both particular samples were sung by Emily Van Evera but is still based around von Bingen's original.
xD you didn't even listen before you said that did you? listen to the fievel goes west version of dreams to dreams. that song and this song would do well in a compilation together.
hahah uhhh, All I said was reminds me of dreams to dreams by linda ronstadt and that they'd do well in a compilation together. I didn't say it sounds like it anyway. I don't know what you're getting at by this whole better be worth it thing but you seem like a little kid. xD
and you seem like an old sheep shaggin farmer from devon that has a fascination with cheese, coz linda ronsdat is pure mozzarella......................ape!
