I love that the early Orbital stuff was just an unedited jam. It's a great philosophy.

Awesome! I'm still bang into my "oldskool", interested to hear this :)

Ravi mentions Orbital at Glastonbury on TV. I saw Orbital at Glastonbury in 1995. The same year as Jimmy Page and Robert Plant played. From what I can work out they played Glastonbury in 1994 and 1999 as well. 1995 was the last time I went. The first time was in 1984 as an 18 year old.
