The story of my life

[RiotsBird]

In high school my house was the house could party at. Smoking pot mainly, we always had a group friends over, there would be between 5 to 8 of us al the time. For about 2 months we listened to Orbital, a parent couldn't be more proud to see eight high school kids sitting on the floor quietly for hours.

[The656]

i was listening to pandora and this song popped up. I was like :O! I havent heard this in years since I used to listen to slacker radio!

[belpoprock]

epic&timeless ..nice duo

[72sabacc]

This is one of my favorite songs and the one I was lucky enough to find Orbital through. I remember the video from the mid-90s and will always remember it. MONSTERS EXIST. [gulp]

[MrMushroom123]

i wonder how many people actually got the message of this video.

[wiecz66]

hey i want to make an animation like this...but I'm a complete beginner....anyone have any idea where to find out how?...it looks more complicated than just stop motion...how do you make the person walk slow when everything around moves fast?

[mnemo70]

@wiecz66 Juuuuuusssssssst waaaaaaaallllllllk sllllllllloooooooowwwwwwwwwlll­lllllyyyyyyyyyy.

[Monstoday]

This came out in 1996 for us in the UK. Brings back good memories of being in 6th form. And goddamn that Youtube CAPTCHA thing!

[dime4bag]

I heard this for the first time when I was about 5 years old and I swear, I've only just found it now. I just couldn't remember the name! Years of searching is finally over lol

[READIKA55]

@dime4bag same here ! :O

[TheRealGaffer]

@dime4bag Same thing for me. I remember seeing the video and being fascinated. I just stood 3 feet away from the TV set with my mouth open.

[GILBERHE]

is that Tilda Swinson??

[Scottydont66]

@GILBERHE

yep

[SuperTechnox]

Monsters do exist....#

[Muskateering]

This was fantastic at Brixton, they really beefed it up. Amazing tune.

[nicholchannel68]

@Muskateering tHANKS,NICE TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE WITH A TASTE IN MUSIC

[sssubway]

[eaglepies]

brilliant video

[kotamur]

super

[MrMarttin]

ahora si aplica. "para antes de dormir" buenas noches

[rtmnmk]

She moves very, very slowly, so when the editor had speeded up the shots, in a way she looks like walking regulary, it looks like she was shot by a "frame by frame" technique.

Simple and brilliant idea. I gotta try this on day :-)

[plamcaeny]

ir , ir orbitāliem gabali smuki.... un šis !!!! dēļ aktrises konstantīnu ''nokačāju''

[2012Ascenscion]

"Monsters Exist"... Gave me chills...

[Aram0978]

Wow!!! Love it

[MarieLennox]

does anyone know the name of a song on 0:20 /watch?v=qKQ5oUD69LQ please helllp :s

[MrMushroom123]

@MarieLennox "light fantastic" by plump djs

[MarieLennox]

@MrMushroom123 Thank you :))

[Phototato]

Orbital videos always have to be so mysterious and philosophical... *sigh!* I for one wonder what on earth that foot thingy on a burned shopping cart out in the water is trying to represent! A metaphor/critic on our consuming society; that everything we consume evetually ends up burned and wasted in the sea? Or something?

[kynykos]

This video clip's so existentialist.

[protle]

Helpppppppppppppp¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡

Someone knows what the song playing in these videos?

/watch?v=dFIXzobiE70

/watch?v=3a39Ew4yAFw

Thanks

[mcclurn11]

It's so strange how some electronic acts from the 90s sound so dated and others (like Orbital and Boards of Canada) don't.

[howardAmb]

genius

[erinISsudsy]

I remember waiting up to watch the show Amp on MTV. A show dedicated to electronic music. What happened?

[futilerecordings]

@erinISsudsy What happened? MTV stopped playing music videos. MTV used to have awesome shows like Headbangers Ball, Yo MTV Raps, and Amp... Now it's just retarded reality shows. Amp turned me on to Orbital, Aphex Twin, and Autechre among others. But this particular song/video really struck me. It's absolutely brilliant, especially if you hear The Box part 1 and part 2 together. They actually have a new album coming out, and the single is already out.

[55LanceBriggs]

If anyone's into the Prodigy, there's a remix of this song. Search for:

DJ Hero 2- [Scratch Perverts Present] The Prodigy Omen vs Orbital The Box

[JessKatie]

I had no idea the video was as neat as the song. Thanks for sharing!

[shibbyzz]

EPIC!!!

[xprt642]

super videoclip

[Wildboy0001]

SOO ein geiles video und musik!

[Khazar01]

I can`t stop the world. I can change people by song like this.

[scanaaron]

Watching this makes time fly in times you need to pass with it.

[JeepJohn242]

Stop motion + time laps = WIN!

[silentevil77]

When I was little this freaked the shit outta me

[2PlayDead]

Hahahahaha.... She looks like Aimee Mann.

[wesoly757]

Great sound love it

[brainbovv]

i was trying to find this song for years :) thank u :)

[M4rkpj]

lol dis choon soooo much an wat a grate vid

[BenEnyuh]

I used to stay up late and flip through infomercials looking for something to jack to, and i would always see Liquid Television...

[sexyantiano]

I just get goose bumps when I listeningtp this could go out had only MTV chillout every night a listen to good music of Orbital, ken eshii , fluke, and flo

[FEYPITBULL]

love the sound!

[ayus1]

Love this video.

[TheDimeDragon]

This music was a very important part of my chidhood. I´m sure that i can be very happy that my fathers listened to this :)

[nicole79acosta]

@TheDimeDragon

This was my first CD that I got when I was 16 in 1995 from my father. And I'm a 31 year old black lady from southern New Jersey, USA who fell in love with this genre of music. He was progressive too like your dad(s). Nice to share.

[TheDimeDragon]

@nicole79acosta Wow, that´s cool! My fathers used to listen things like Chick Korea, Acoustic Alchemy, Chemical Brothers, Ozric Tentacles and Orbital.

[Kylechristopher716]

@nicole79acosta

Insides was the first CD I would be handed by a close personal friend of mine, It remains the most influential album in my life, and was taken away from me by father for being "Satanic" He is not progressive, and I would have loved to have had a father like yours. Orbital is my jam.

[malagosini2]

I would like to know which program do you use to put the pictures together =]

[audioedge]

tilda swinton is hot



[Bizantium]

@audioedge ?srsly? She played a man in Constantine!

[MoviManATL]

I remember seeing this video on MuchMusic years ago, and thinking, "Who the heck is this?" And ever since then, I had wanted to see the video again. I am now a HUGE Orbital fan!

[emericachill3]

i knew it son. monsters do exist.

[multigrooves]

Brill!

[plasmaforce11]

pretty dreamy but very underground still :P

[SHILOHH8R]

my god that video would take so long to film!

[postieok7]

mtv.. hanging out sumertime with davina and richard blackwood.. man, bring back the 90's..

[progrocker69]

85 people are apparently stuck in the box....

[GoranSamsara]

@progrocker69 they are bad aliens,be sure !

[Muskateering]

@progrocker69 Make that 94.

[TheMontanaDave]

Don't eat the red pill......

[zvolencan1]

I think I haven´t ever heard a song with more intensive build up that this one. The longer mix with parts one and two has even more tension. Really amazing stuff, never to forget.

[raggamuffer]

Orbital music sesh, don't mind if i do! x

[Rzyon]

cosa asy ?

[postieok7]

mtv summertime! davina and richard blackwood! bring back the 90's!

[devlin7575]

No, it's Alexandra Maria Lara ... leading / big roles in Downfall, Youth Without Youth, Control, Baader Meinhof Complex, The Reader etc ... Romanian German actress, would have been 18 years old maybe back then?

[LadyCadbury]

@devlin7575: It's Tilda Swinton. 

[devlin7575]

@LadyCadbury glad to be in the know - thanks!

[dotchoo]

@LadyCadbury i love her :)

[Myrth1]

@devlin7575 It's Tilda Swinton, lol. One of thigs why this video is so well-known is her appearance

[Gubelat]

Ein Meisterwerk!

[MrStevo1810]

This is trippin me the fuck out!

[marsjolta]

this has to be one of the best music videos top 20

[Youngun65]

Good video e music

[petarpironkov]

epic...

[hoagybob]

[debthemango]

@hoagybob as edgehead1132 said it is in fact tilda ^_^

[ZarzuelaRacing]

[Edgehead1132]

@ZarzuelaRacing yes, it is

[jodallion]

absolutely gorgeous and haunting

[heckubiss1]

Most people who are major fans of certain types of electronic music like Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and Orbital have SPD (Schizoid Personality Disorder). Try this personality test and no i dont work for them and its not spam (just google personality disorder test)

[MrMushroom123]

@heckubiss1 may i know how you got to this conclusion? since spd is a very rare disorder (even rarer than schizophrenia) and hard to define from other major disorders like social anxiety, depression etc.

[snowsun100]

I love the guy smoking.

[Kubasket]

It's fuckin' amazing

[GIANNHSARIS]

is this the soundtrack of ''football factory'' ??

[virgofemme5]

I remember the days of staying up late watching after hours mtv just waiting to see cool videos like this.

[zheggepop]

@virgofemme5

yes...mtv chill out zone and vh1 chill out!!!!

[armchairnomad]

@virgofemme5 Hell yeah...it's funny I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I started watching this. It was all about MTV's AMP...came on at like 1am. I really miss those days.

[WeaponX1986]

@armchairnomad I know! Miss those day!

[thejoymonster]

@virgofemme5 Man, those were the days.

[supravista]

@virgofemme5 yup yup... it was a way late night segment called Amp TV.. yeah?

[virgofemme5]

@supravista Yeah, Amp TV. That was it. :)

[Viriatus]

@virgofemme5 yeah i saw this video a lot in Alternative Nation and on Party Zone. Good years.

[alandoran33]

ME TO

[Spuider]

@virgofemme5 nowadays mtv shows crap. Jersyshore and some other shet.. :) No more cool videos.. Playing katty perry and jason derulo.. what a shame.. MTV DEAD.

[pastetajetrena]

These videos (i mean non-pop electronica) were all played as part of "the chill out zone" that started at 4 am on sunday morning, so when you got back from clubbing or whatever you listend to it. And I loved it.

[brainumbc]

Does anyone remember who directed this?

[galbakka]

@brainumbc

Luke losey

[kidneydisney]

is that Tilda Swinton in the video, walking around?...impossible!!

[Crimeyfied]

@JUSTIN030783 When Amp was pumping out this, Fluke, Speedy J.....

[stusvend]

this is actually the box part 2

[epolce]

[koijmonop]

Uggh, this video quality is horrendous. The copy on Vimeo (20280244) is way better

[psychiatra23]

yes yes i remember is so hard and pretty

[malbecks316]

Is that Tilda Swinton?!

[yassasin83]

@malbecks316 Yeah it's her :)

[Crimeyfied]

@malbecks316  Yep :)

[dklustick]

can anyone tell me how they shot this?

Because I doubt its just super fast motion and that girl walking very slow

[doggystyle040]

@dklustick im thinking they made pictures of the same area on different days and sped them up . if that's true it's genius

[brainumbc]

@dklustick that's probably EXACTLY how they did it

[marshall3able]

[3rorist]

REVOLT

[nimrodth]

this is the sound for driving car at summernight.

see also : the orb.

[55LanceBriggs]

There's a remix which includes the Prodigys - Omen. Search for DJ Hero 2- [Scratch Perverts Present] The Prodigy Omen vs Orbital The Box the username will be flames or something. Not trying to get plugs for him, just want everyone to listen to the remix because I think it's badass.

[htczeggis]

Super sounds of that year still love it this time, will never die:)

[suarezstyle]

So by "box" they mean vagina, right?

[MYNAMEISFRANKENSTEIN]

@suarezstyle nah it has to do with the box most people live in in their day to day rat race lives. like demonstrated in the videos of fast moving people while the main character is just observering and not really having a care in the world.

[mnml0]

it's a real fantastic and melancholic way of art at the same time. orbital recognized our sickness when i was a baby and shit in my diaper.

[z0mbiesatemybf]

love it

[AndrzejCihy]

Justin Bieber SUCKS

[DontrelleRoosevelt]

@AndrzejCihy There's no reason to even mention his name in this video's comments!

[Doppe1ganger]

That's when music and music video's were great on MTV.

[postieok7]

the most up-lifting tune you'll ever hear, coupled with the saddest video.. class through and through.

[klynch08]

Class, one of the first, if not THE FIRST, proper dance song i heard that really made shivers shoot down my spine

[AlexanderDupont]

Anyone know how i can get sounds like used in this track, i started with making music. And would love some of this in my stuff :D

[tripoticsoundscapes]

@AlexanderDupont vintage synthesizers, samples from real instruments here and there, for that really nice bass they use in some tracks, tb303 there are emulations of them in software format, rather than you spending about a thousand pounds for a real one. I make music myself, and i can tell you samples and sounds and inspiration exist everywhere, you just have to have your ears and mind open to it. Even things that don't sound musical.

[AlexanderDupont]

@tripoticsoundscapes

thanks for the reply, i get alot of inspiration from Sphongle and artist like that, they have a huge variation of sounds.

[AlexanderDupont]

How can a tv channel send this, its so wasted and omg this song is wasted to.

I love it!!!

[alexamada]

she's lost in a k hole

[ccpickre]

OMG, I had forgotten about this song

[Junkiespop]

i wonder if douglas coupland knows about this

[PumaSweat]

This is LITERALLY my favorite song of all time!!! In ANY Genre!!!

I listen to everything from The Doors to Mr Lif, but this song will play at my funeral.

[bednarjozef]

i wonder if she wore that funny cap in order we dont notice her hair has grown a bit while making the video :P just kidding, would like to know how was it made tough.

[inglouriousbasterd93]

goddamn it Tilda Swinton, always doing the weird/cool stuff...

[domirae]

i used to try to stay up til 2am on saturday nights to watch AMP on MTV just to see vids like this and was so mad when they didn't play it. LOVe this song so much, i luv the drama in it. i feel like i shoulda heard this in Black Swan!!

[dontcallmejunior]

sneaky generation X quotes on the tv there...?

[TheMartinSlater]

Just PURE perfection! Even after all these years - Perfect!

[Spaceisneat]

"Remember Earth Clearly"

[mrkrinkle699]

I love this cause she's the stop motion everything else is speed up. I was like what? I realized that she's walking very slow.

[jodiejodie1980]

my top ten and ive heard shitloads of many genres. IT IS AWESOME!

[Puddingbat]

I've been listening to this track for years, and then today find the video is not only stop motion animated but epic..... damn....

[marinegirl232]

@derkai90 It's called stop motion animation.. It's how Tim Burton creates a lot of his movies like Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas

[SpiritGamer77]

This track has electronic elements, but it is not ambient. There is far too much beat and energetic melody for this to come even close to ambient. The track isn't bad, but false advertising is made of fail, therefore I've given this track a low rating.

[pabloelektrik]

@derkai90  Pixilation

[Nezopu]

@derkai90 Images over others images I guess =)

[Lorotron1]

My all time favorite track.

[MysticEnforce]

An awesome classic!!!...And yes...It's Tilda Swinton...

[topo1980]

absolutley fantastic!

[greenthums]

My brain won't stop moving my head up and down as if there is such a thing >:)

[scyhte82]

this stil gives me goosebumps.

all time favourite

[levskiful]

fancy.
