ORBITAL - “You Lot”

ORBITAL - “You Lot”

Simplicity is oftentimes a great thing. Layered synth lines over a straightforward beat carries the listener into an extended sample of a speech about taking over the world via science (I have no idea where this comes from, by the way, so please tell me because it sounds like it’s from Blake’s 7 or something similar) before saying, “Oh yeah, right before I depressed the shit out of you, you were dancing; let’s go back to that.”

I don’t think I’ve encountered an Orbital track that managed to work excess within the bounds of gentility before; I guess age does funny things to everyone.

    The sample comes from film featuring Christopher Eccleston.

    Actually Granada TV show “The Second Coming” (dry run for Doctor Who - a link Orbital made before Russell T Davies - who wrote both).
