Explorations: Halcyon On and On


Original video located here. Accessed 18th July 2016

Song title: Halcyon On and On

Artist: Orbital

Year: 1993

Why I like this song:

I've heard some good things about Orbital's 1993 album (the Brown album) so I thought it warranted a look.

I already knew of Orbital as my brother had The Altogether album and he thought highly of it. But apparently much has gushed about the Brown album so it warranted further investigation.

Turns out, the rumours were indeed true: This was a thing of beauty and has aged remarkably well, sounding just as fresh as was twenty seven years prior. Which is indeed a difficult thing to accomplish. Very danceable and very hypnotic at the same time - just as the above track demonstrates.
