ORBITAL - Dŵr Budr - IN SIDES album - Paul and Phil Hartnoll

ORBITAL - "Dŵr Budr" from the IN SIDES album
Written by Paul and Phil Hartnoll
Vocals :Alison Goldfrapp.
The day before mastering the album, Paul felt it wasn't complete, so wanted to fill the gap. He wrote Dŵr Budr the day before the cut!
This was another quick creation. Completed in one day with the first part on the morning and second part later in the day.
The vocals are from another recording session but at the time they didn't work out. In a frantic search to complete the track, they played around with these. The final version was pitched differently and also reversed.
Hardware used, Xpander, Wave Station, SH 101 and E-mu Emulator III sampler, 808 and Arp 2600
The title is welsh for dirty water and influenced by the oil spill just off Pembrokeshire coast, which was caused by the Sea Empress.

I can't explain the joy this song gives me. I remember trying to play this for people back in high school. This whole album seemed so much more organic than the other electronic music of the 90's, and this song here was like this strange uplifting daydream that mutates into a weird playful funk before landing. It's a full 10 min journey for sure.

[@meredithholmes1977]

A masterpiece album from master electronic musicians.

[@FIYVAPROLDJE]

It’s music about a sad story, bro

[@BlackBird-gj4sx]

The album is very melodic and beautiful... I re-listen now, 24 years later.

[@wacklet]

Best track on the album. Opening sequence is beautiful. Great memories of Uni days and live performances triggered every tim I hear it

[@Zerbey]

In-Sides brings be back to carefree days back when I was in College and still living at home, this album will always remain on my playlist.

One day?! You guys never cease to amaze me. An absolute masterpiece. Can't imagine In Sides without it.

[@patrickr12342]

sadness/ joy!!!! Timeless banger and breathtaking depths in music, very rare in these days.

[@richbox6301]

My favourite track from my favourite album. Truly amazing work. Can't believe they wrote it in a day!

[@richardbaker974]

For me, this is one of the finest pieces of music there is

[@carpathianpsychonaut]

This, for me, was the human emotional heart of a widescreen album. Brought it back to very real, local things in a universe of stars and the unknown. Always the track I go back to first.

[@MichaelOglesby]

Hang on! Heavy pause! Dŵr Budr was created in ONE DAY?! That's amazing! I would had never had guessed!

[@MrTridac]

What an amazing piece of electronic music.

[@Hasuo2001]

All the songs on this album are masterpieces.

[@IronVicero]

this album should be the official soundtrack to every livestream of every space x launch. gettin the futuristic industrial spacey tingles with every listen!

[@patrickglavina1809]

back then we thought it was one of many albums, today we know that it is a timeless masterpiece

[@dumbstupid5065]

Love that the Arp 2600 "sounds like Orbital" in my mind when it's been used by so many people for so long. Such a great piece of equipment, but you guys used it better than most.

[@BinaryFeedback]

Please repress the 3xLP of INSIDES !

Minimalist Masterpiece!!! Cheer´s from Brazil!!!

I have listened to this album more times than I could count. It defined my late 90's.

[@darkangel5672]

That’s me right there. Got it from my sister and literally learned every track second by second, beat by beat. What an absolute masterpiece

[@zomgbean]

Throughout the late 90s and early 00s I used this song to determine if speakers and headphones were up to par.

[@BL-mf3jp]

What track do you use for testing now? :)

[@nonfonofficial]

I have the orginal cassette tape In Sides album and when i.m coming back... listen this tape (yes i have still also the cassette tape player) I become that listening youth again!!! Thanks Orbital

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

It gives me a new appreciation of this track to know it was the last one created for this album, in a final creative burst. I would love to hear your notes on 'Out There Somewhere' one day.

Orbital’s masterpiece

[@tunnocks]

Incredible track on a fantastic album. I keep asking, please repress and do a livestream!

[@ianproud5525]

Masterpiece!

[@rogercookcouk]

Engrossing from the 1st. Encapsulation. Emotional journey. And that's just the feelings. The sounds that give them. More WOWs. The acute stabs. The beats, wherever they were found. The match. What a beautiful piece of electronica.

[@livingabstract]

Breathtaking! I've enjoyed Orbital's music over the years🔥💚

[@trashrabbit69]

We can clean all the plastic and oil that we've tainted our seas and air with, but could we ever clean the shame out of ourselves for what we did to one another and our world? Dwr budr, cannot be drunk, but still reflects on us the same.

One of my favorite songs of all time and my favorite Orbital track. Achingly beautiful , lush pads, an 808 electro drum track gone frenetic with an Acid TB-303 breakdown at the end. Amazing

[@griffgames9538]

Wicked album, all told.

[@TelexToTexel]

Maybe Paul Hartnoll got teached how to deliver things quickly working in a Pizza restaurant? It is just amazing that this masterpiece of a song was made in a day! I think I also have read that the Peel Sessions "Lush Euro Tunnel Disaster '94" and "Walk About" was done in a day, Lush before lunch and Walk About after lunch.

[@mikebeginshere]

The title is Dirty Water in Welsh

The weirdest thing about this song, is that fans are begging for more vinyl to be made, vinyl that is made of plastic (PVC), that is made of oil. They must have missed the point completely !

Always said the box was my favourite off the album all because I can't pronounce this title!!

What sequencer did you use?

[@Eightball69]

They were still using MMT8's at the time I think, I could be wrong

[@KarlHamilton]

@@Eightball69 Yes, live. But not sure if that's what they used to compose it.

[@robinschroder7594]

I believe for Times Fly EP they moved to a Mac running Logic, before that it was Atari ST and C-Lab Creator (??) - recalling an interview in Future Music many years ago, they were sat on Brighton beach in the photos, that’s all I remember!

Надо больше подобного звука, сложного, ритмичного и насыщенного, в 1991 ваша музыка была в авангарде, почему все забросили, Autechre продолжают работать и у них свой сложный почерк, но интересный, вы могли бы тоже пошуршать🤔
