oh man, I listened to this in a hardcore way. I was so taken with this cd. This song actually broke my musical heart the first time I ever heard it:):) I remember the first time I ever listened to it, so long ago, wow memories.............I froze, I couldnt move, I was paralyzed because of the beauty of this track. Its still hard to listen to sometimes cuz it is so penetrating. They are so gifted............
This has got feck all to do with MTV or soundtracks! Just listen to the record.... 'Belfast' is absolutely beautiful, Orbital are seminal. Timeless music....wow...
will always remind me of the come down after a heavy night, as the sun peers thru the curtains, ye finish the last can and finally decide to head to bed!!
then the hallucinations start and ye crawl the walls!!!
good times all round i think!!!!
then kids come and responsabilitys..... we all grow up!!!! :(
yes i also remember this from the film "human traffic".brilliant film and so captured the late 80s and early 90s so well.i even bought the dvd and cd soundtrack "wonderfull" this track fits well into the scene of them driving home knackered also with the day dawning.ahh sutch memories.
i remember listening to this song when i was a teen it created this picture of a city starting it's day and busy ppl walking quickly to there destinations and the smell of morning dew and stepping out from a rave from the previous night and just enjoying the moment for what it was and that everything was going to be a good day
@unique2080 spot on!!!!. . . . . . . .. . i always wanted to listen to this song after an all-nighter . . ..jus sittin on a hill with your mates talkin bou the night before as the sun comes up . . . . .
what is more amazing about this beauty is its one of their first tracks, yet still i can't think of many tunes that best this, and they hadn't even mastered their art yet.
So beautiful this track. I remembered watching a clip of this video on the ITV Chart Show dance chart way back in January 1991. Even after nearly 20 years, its still a classic !!!
why do you say that bloke, I am not a Irish or a Brit, but I'm hispanic, ya'll to me are not dirty wankers but ya'll are GOD DAMN BLOODY WANKERS for sure.
This tune takes me back to the bad old days of 2001/2002/2003 in North Belfast when coming back from dealing with a night of rioting around the Ardoyne I used to play this in my Saxson APC on the way back to Palace Barracks - I just hope things don't go back to the bad old days at the Ardoyne shop fronts
Hi there, i dont usually comment on peoples mistakes as you have the right to make them, but i must add my piece as i dont think a.goldfrapp's vocals are on belfast, if you listen to sun rising by the beloved you will also note they sampled the same vocals, i belive it was a classical singer called emily something and was on one of those chill out classics compilation....hope this helps.
David Holmes was running a night at the Art College in Belfast and had them over playing. They all went to a house party after the gig and Holmes asked if they had any unreleased stuff he could hear. This was what Orbital played him and legend has it they named it Belfast as they had such a class time here! Everydays a school day!
