I worked at Blockbuster Video when this came out. We had a listening wall where you could buy CDs and listen to then. This was on a mix. I was BROKE at the time so evertime I got off work I would go to the wall and vibe befor walking home. My manager ended up buying me the CD a brand new portable CD player with wicked skip protection and some wicked KOSS headphones. She must have spent 350.00 bucks. I cried like a b. It was super nice. I wore the same clothing everyday to work. She took me to Walmart and bought me 4 pairs of khaki cargo pants. Some people give a F... Most fun I've ever had at a job. We had a family there. I worked there through school. I was one of the first employees and literally the last to leave the building. RIP Blockbuster Video. 😢 Great F-ing track!

[@jay-pv4jk]

Great story thanks

[@missbearlockholmes]

I hope you are prospering now, and I hope she is, too.

[@luke144]

@missbearlockholmes 🙏🌞🙏 prosperity is a matter of perspective, but I'm doing pretty damn good according to me lol! She died about ten years back. Good lady. She saw I had nothing and no one. She stepped up. Real Christian style. Didn't even try to get me to go to a church just helped out.

Never knew this was Tilda Swinton! This whole album changed my life!

Unbelievable. Her cool points are off the scale.

[@obbekjaer]

In Sides was such an iconic album. The girl with the sun in her head was always my favourite but The Box is right there as well

[@_Scintill8tor]

Same, I love this album so much. I think I heard it on the Belgian radio station "Studio Brussel", back in the day, I was just amazed by the melodic sound!

[@dauntevivone3578]

Checking IN SIDES out too !!! Thanks for the heads up...

[@leslieelaine5968]

"the girl" is Tilda Swinton

[@TheFos88]

Oh man yes, In Sides, Brown, Middle of Nowhere, Wonky... Hell Blue. Monsters Exist is alright. Pretty much their whole discography is amazing.

[@MaximusNYC]

@@leslieelaine5968 "The Girl With The Sun In Her Head" is the first track from In Sides.

[@tonedee290]

HELL YEAH BROTHER

[@lianyu5117]

I hear it since over 20 years,since my neighbour showed me

[@OTOss8]

Why is this a different pitch/key than the album version? It's one of the best songs and videos of the 90s, seriously great stuff and thew fact that stations played a 5 minute song with no lyrics is a testament to just how great this all was. Very special bit of work. Cheers.

[@bens4295]

Feels like its about 5-8 BPM sped up? Thoughts?

[@MrWeezeloner]

Well this sounds like it is Part 2 of the Box. I just verified. It is Part 2. I wonder if there is a video for Part 1

[@LoKimLinProject]

Omg seen this millions of times and just realized that's TILDA SWINTON!!!!

[@chrissiddall8525]

'Monsters Exist' briefly popping up there on screen in 96 and then as a whole album mumblety mumble years later.

[@madscientist057]

This song started my journey into electronic music, and what a journey...

time passes quickly, but this work of art remains timeless

[@bunberrier]

Yes, it does feel like this when I look around at all the plugged in people

[@marcpec11]

20+ years on and I still haven't found a DJ/band/group that has hit me as hard as when I first found Orbital. I'll be listening to them when I'm in a nursing home.

[@TheFos88]

Yessss. Orbital and Shpongle are hands down the most unique, original, and important electronic groups in the world in my opinion.

[@user-ro9re2lf9b]

I love the moment where the TV says "monsters exist" and she turns away in horror. It's a reference to how media can corrupt minds, and how newcomers like her can recognize it. We need more of that in this day and age.

[@actionvestadventure]

Holy crap, Tilda Swinton huh? Still have a vhs recording of this video when it was shown on MTV's AMP. Always appreciated the patience it must take to do these kinda videos.

Brilliant video that never did get played enough on MTV back when it still was good.

[@trevorrandom]

It got played a lot on a channel called BOX back in the day trust me 😁👍

[@alexc.c.4025]

That´s why we recorded this video and so many others on VHS and played them on repeat back then. =)

[@geraldthesaint5457]

It used to play a lot on MTV Brasil

[@brucebruce5205]

I only ever saw it at like 2 or 3 am

[@blinkspacestudio8892]

I cant even imagine how long it actually took to shoot this vid omg she must have been taking a step every 10 or so mins wow. I really wish more artists would make music like this. its so full of emotion I swear it tears me up at the end. Her FACE.

[@akunakii3782]

reminds me of Johannes Vermeer, Girl with the Pearl Earring, painting

[@raynfallz]

I just read that it is Tilda Swinton. Mind blown !!!!

[@krzysztofkosobudzki8228]

@@raynfallz You're right, It`s young Tilda Swinton :) From the Wiki ... " The stop-motion promotional video for "The Box" stars actress Tilda Swinton as "The Traveler", a person (or an alien) unstuck from time. The Traveler phases into existence, witnesses human life in public transit and traffic, as well as its effects on nature, seen through detritus in a river and a plant sapling growing through a brick wall. They return to their origin point, giving one final sad glance backwards before disappearing"

She was a performance artist who used to lie in coffins for days

What an amazing golden age of electronic music.

[@pikminologueraisin2139]

the classic clip

[@TheFos88]

I've been absorbing Orbital's music for years and never knew they made a video for "The Box". This was as awesome and thought provoking as the track itself. The fact that their music speaks volumes without actually having words (unless samples of course) has always captivated me, and very few groups can emulate the Orbital effect.

[@sea80vicvan]

Brilliant tune and video. Orbital were a gateway to electronic music in the 90's that many of us happily took. It still holds up today, like the best music.

[@JonMichaelDeShazer]

Happy 25th! If only I could adequately express the impact this song has had on my life in words. Thank you for writing such a beautiful song.

[@MrTridac]

This is one of the best pieces of electronic music.

[@paulpowis5914]

Love the hint of Persuaders ❤️

[@Radical_Retro_and_Rags]

I remember seeing this on MTV. There was a really 90s trippy show called AMP TV "Alternative Music Programming" I believe. It played all very electronic / very progressive ahead of it's time music.

[@topher2179]

I have been looking for this video for years!!!!!!!! I can finally rest in peace reconnecting with this little piece of nostalgia. I feel like I just reunited with an old friend. This whole time I thought this video was a different british electronic group, to no avail could never find it. Its so hard to describe to anyone the awe inspiring feeling I got first watching this gem on MTV during after hours. I was completely mesmerized. Thank you Orbital for influencing my journey and inspiring me to create my own music. Hope to do a remix with you gents one day. Cheers from Texas.

[@dogsgobooom]

I’m watching thinking wow, that looks like a young Tilda Swinton. Also that chair creak at the end! There is a brilliant b-side /remix of this with an extended chair creak intro.

[@douglasmercer2501]

That's cause it is Tilda

[@Lee_303]

Unmm, with current events. When she looks at the screens & sees "monsters exist". That's real.

[@DarenPage]

I remember getting hyped for this release back in the mid 90s. Sat in a girlfriends bedroom and this masterpiece gets its first airing on Radio1... I instantly loved it, my ex hated it.

[@Jcole000123]

I couldn´t believe the date said 15 April 2021. This is one of the greatest albums ever made in electronic music. This song is a MASTERPIECE!!! And the video, damm! 🔥🔥🔥

[@suuhl]

It blew my mind when I was in London two years ago, and accidentally spotted Millennium Mills while passing by on a tram. A flood of vague memories poured over me, almost as if I knew it from a dream. Took me like 5 min to remember that I know it from this video. Cut to me frantically scrambling for mobile data reception to show it to my bf. It really left an imprint on me as a teen.

[@bianchetfam7960]

The single most emotional electronic/dance band EVER!

[@Legionnaire7777]

Music for the soul 👍🏻

[@MrGunny128]

Been looking for this one for sometime (since 1997). I worked at a parts department in a car garage and it would be playing on the audio system they had when I was on lunch breaks. I had a vague notion it was on The Saint soundtrack. Feels good to find something that I've been looking for, for so long!

This song is the reason i started listening to The Orbital and the reason i listen to them to this day. Stuck in one moment, most likely forever

[@jasonwood6814]

This song was an awakening for me! It helped with so many issues I was experiencing and cured most of them, horizons were certainly explored in full after hearing this. It cleared the brain fog I had for years and gave me a direction, a path I still follow to this day.

[@q-bit7773]

[@nathanbutcher7720]

groundbreaking to introduce a Balinese gamelan pelog into electronic music, but then gamelan does rhythmically lend itself to drum and bass and jungle, so it's a wonder we haven't heard more of it

Glad I found this again, haven't heard or seen the video in years. This blew my mind back in the day, I was only 15 or 16 at the time and it would not have been on my radar as I was into mostly rock and metal. Still am but hearing this again now I can see why it appealed to me in such a big way and opened me up to more stuff like Orbital. It really was a golden age for music and everything else back then.
