Variety of dance music genres can be found on this 12". Satan, a relatively downtempo track - with a hard edge, benefits by lacking the hardcore drums added to subsequent mixes; always went down a storm at live gigs. LC1, a more house orientated composition with acidic elements, has Fred Dinnage (known Pompey fan & television anchorman. Seen on T.V programmes including 'How', 'Magpie' &, more recently, 'How2' alongside Gail Porter & Gaz Tops) talking about alien abduction. Belfast, essentially a downtempo house track, is a personal favourite - takes me back to the hot summer of 1990 when Kiss F.M tested it's new legal broadcast status with non stop mixes without any commercials...Ahh

What a great release. Two great tracks on the A side typical quality Techno from Orbital, but flip it over and you get the amazing Belfast. A Beautiful atmospheric downtempo track that has everything. Equally at home within a house set, its was a massive Sasha tune that stayed in his box for a number of years but ideally suited to a chill out set. Perhaps one of their best ever tunes and in my opinion one of the best dance tunes of all time.
