Show All 30 ReviewsSounds fantastic. Beautifully mastered. Perfect and clean thump with balanced and pronounced synths, loops and samples. Some of the tracks really benefit from being played at a lower pitch / bpm that vinyl allows. Makes the quality of the equipment and synths that were used in the making of this album really shine through. Although considered underground at the time, guess it never hurt to have major label backing. Pure quality recording and vinyl release.
Any clue how this sounds? Surely the levels must've been taken down to fit it on one disc, but how does it sound if you adjust your gain?

I found this for $8 at a thrift store the other day. I will now begin to treat it like gold. I was not aware it was worth this much...

Matrix/Runout is a little different in a copy I have:
Matrix / Runout: 162 351 026-2 02! AB
Mould SID Code: IFPI 0340

For those whose never been there, track#7 includes a sample of the typical pedestrian crossing sound in Singapore, so "Walk Now..."

Please note that pressings made by PMDC Germany (e.g. this or this) differ from the UK pressing in the transition from track 5 "Impact (The Earth Is Burning)" into track 6 "Remind". On the UK pressing, "Remind" flows seamlessly into the previous track. On the PMDC pressing, the arpeggio sequence at the end of track 5 is slightly faded out at the end, and track 6 then suddenly starts with the "continuation" of that sequence. Discogs data does not reflect this.

Can anybody help? Is the album track "Halcyon On & On" a particular mix, basically the album version, of the 92 individual single release "Halcyon"?
Does HO&O appear on any other release but the 93 album?
Was it only produced / mixed by Orbital?

The track Remind has the classic Goa Trance sound and so for 1993, this is an important track in the history of Goa Trance.
You can call it Techno if you choose, but Remind definitely has the Goa Trance sound and vibe. Besides that track I also enjoyed the Track Walk now. Remind is the primary reason I will purchase this .
