ORBITAL - "The Box Part 1" from the IN SIDES album
Written by Paul and Phil Hartnoll
Drums : Clune
Some facts about this track:-
Drums supplied by Clune
The bell part started as a cyclical sequencer experiment
The sounds reminded them of a cold war drama soundtrack. It was an attempt to do a Steve Reich style, poly rhythm track but soon moved into a 60s style spy score.
The Dulcimer sound, a favourite from the 60s and 70s spy films, took a long time and effort to make the sample.
Paul split the keyboard with identical sides so he could play it like a dulcimer player
A love letter to John Barry. The idea was to mix great scoring with dance music.
The Box could be a TV but it could be a coffin or a packing crate or a small box with micro film...

Is 06.2024 and still i'm listen one of the best songs ever!!!! Thanks Orbital for Box and DWR
One of the most inspiring tunes from the UK in the Mid 90's for me.
Best album ever!
I always play this tune when it's raining. Such a track. I highly recommend people listen to 'The Box' Single which is in 4 parts. It's a true masterpiece.

it's gray and rainy here rn and this fits the vibe, no question.
i always felt this album was the masterpiece album, a more concept album with an audible see through, thematically. It sounds to me like baroque or classical music like Vivaldi or Mozart played on synths, its textured and multilayered, delicate, softer and painstakingly thought through......i thought it showed a little more maturity and focus then the preceding albums, more IDM then rave, i remember at the time the anticipation for it, the album cover is far busier and colourful, the art house vids with Tilda Swinton, pure magic that video, its so unique amongst the work, a much quieter experience, don't get me wrong all the albums are fantastic, but by middle of nowhere we are back to a very loud bombastic carnival sound, this album though is really special it will be going on the spaceship when we leave the solar system.

Unfortunately the only way to leave earth into space is by listening to such music. Space is fake - research it.
Instantly takes me to a different time and space. So lovely.

Masterpiece was and still is. I vividly remember how I was blown away when I first time heard this song on some Lovely Summer Day back in 1997.... My Bowers and Wilkins are purring on this song :-)

This album is a masterpiece. Blew my mind as a teenager!
Fortunately Blissfully Lost in these songs. Timeless!🔥
I am obsessed with the "the thebox" - it is song of my life.
Still my favourite album of the 90s. I adore the harpsichord track on the BOX single

Brilliant track. Thanks for my soundtrack to the last 25+ years!
I wish they would do another album like this... there are so many things going on in the world right now, to serve as a backdrop for such tracks.
Thank you Orbital for this album. It really helped to shape my experiences of my first few years in London when it came out. It's really very beautiful.

Sublime menacing intro, deep base layer comes in, another iconic Orbital track. One to chill out to with your relaxant of choice.......still sounds good and gets plenty of plays.
Amazing track
This is my favorite album Since 90s
Really the best Orbital made in my opinion. This song i can hear anytime, never gets bored or or gets overplayed. Listened to this song lost of timea ans i stil find out new things. Today i learned that it isn't a harpsicord but a dulcimer for instance.. really amazing that that instrument was used, it really makes this song great. Along with the slower drums and the tubular(?) bells it's classical music in a new jacket. I hope part 2,3 and 4 will be uploaded too, this version isn't "finished"
Masterpeice. I was first introduced to this at Sheffield octagon late 90s. Never gets tired.
The calm before the storm.... but those zither(?) strings still feel like my highly strung nerves 🙂
Lovely Stuff!!!
I LISTENED IT BACK IN THE 90'S, THERE IS STILL VINYL, GREAT MUSIC, AND THERE WAS A VERSION WITH VOCAL, WAS ON A CASSETTE, PLEASE POST IT!
This is the album which introduced me to Orbital, and this is the track which transported me beyond the relams of merely listennning. It evokes mysterious tales of hidden corners and complex plots and is suffused with the imprint of John Barry. The whole album is a symphonic masterpiece of subtle electronic tunes and I love to come back to it again and again.
The masterpiece
Just love it 😍😍😍
I love this! The Hartnoll brothers should compose a second part of this masterpiece with all its atmospheres. They teleport you to the future. Those nuances are hard to find on other albums.

Everything they touched was gold around this era, they also remixed the theme from The Saint, not the best movie, but the remix was great
@Orbital ....... or The Box could be my body, that encases my soul..... as I listen to to this beautiful song where spy’s help each other covertly work as a secret organization to bring world peace and unity among humans..... my fantasy, fueled by music from Phil and Paul.....!
I'd only just first heard The Box part 1 a year ago when I listened through In Sides. The only song I'd ever heard from the album was The Box part 2 back around 2005. I'd never cared as much for The Box 2 as I did for the Brown Album tracks, but hearing part 1 in the context of the In Sides record helped me make so much more sense of part 2. I'm a much bigger fan of part 1 though. The chord progression is lovely and more varied than in part 2.
Choon 🤩 reminds me of Connect Festival 2007, Paul’s Ideal Condition dropping this acoustic version into their set. 👏 Fantastic set!
I love this track! Very much!
Чудова композиція, відгуки дитинства....

I hope someone will agree with me the best tracks on this album are “girl with the sun” “box part 1” “Dwr budr” and “out there somewhere part2” part 1 also awesome

@@Jagonath Phil Hartnoll came to Australia about 5 year ago and played a DJ set at a very small festival at a community farm outside Melbourne in Eltham he was great! They also both came for a proper set in 2019 at The Forum in Melbourne which was celebrating their 30th anniversary but unfortunately I missed that :/ some clips on KZread from that night if you want to check it out .. I'm sure they will be back sometime.
Just beyond beautiful… a cut above the rest, now as it was when it first came out.
My own experience... The Brown album, doing bathrub buckets (using flatpress and emptied 2 litre bottles of Inches Stonehouse Cider). Rhen there was that night at Glastonbury in 94.

Please release this album on vinyl for a 25th anniversary. My original copy is battered.
I always thought the opening minutes of this track, Dwr Budr and The Girl With The Sun In Her Head would make a great ambient album if they were developed for longer, like a companion piece. Anyway, please reissue the vinyl!

no... its a patch on the jupiter 8.
I've been a big fan for many years. If you'd like some constructive criticism rather than toadying, I'd say part 1 is the perfect build-up and intro for part 2, but goes on a bit. I'm just waiting for part 2 to start. 😀 Still faultless though. 👍
nasty album would lisren tot it asa a full in 1996
