Re: Orbital - Halcyon

This was actually the song that got me into Orbital many, many years ago. Still love it and I went bonkers every time they'd play this live.

I got this on a mixtape from a coworker in another state. I'd helped her out with a bunch of stuff so her way of thanking me was sending me a mixtape. I believe this was the second song on side B.

Mix tapes were the shit. I remember in the 80s I had three tape decks, two EQs, an amp. that had some cool distortion and blend effects and one turntable. The good ol' days.

Re: Orbital - Halcyon

I remember hearing this at the end of the Mortal Kombat movie which came out just before or right around the time Hackers came out. This is one of Orbitals best tracks, although they do have some other great ones (Adnan's = ).

You can't have manslaughter without laughter.

"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

An understatement, of course.
