Available on LP, CD and digitally on Friday November 8, 2024, ‘A Beginner’s Guide’ is the perfect introduction to the groundbreaking musical world of Orbital. For both the new and the initiated, ‘A Beginner’s Guide’ provides the key moments in the seminal career of the UK electronic music duo composed of brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll.
A one-stop-shop for Orbital which spans the breadth of their 30-year plus catalogue, ‘A Beginner’s Guide’ traverses everything from their early chart hits ‘Chime’, ‘Belfast’ and ‘ Halcyon’, fan favourites such as ‘Lush 3.1’, soundtrack moments like ‘Beached’ (their collaboration with film score maestro Angelo Badalamenti) and more recent cuts like ‘Ringa Ringa’ and ‘Dirty Rat’ (with Sleaford Mods). The CD version features five further tracks (including ‘Doctor?’, their breaks-flecked version of the Doctor Who theme) in addition to the eleven featured on the vinyl version. Both formats are housed in newly commissioned sleeves inspired by the designs and illustrations of 1970s technical manuals created by Julian House at Intro, a long-term Orbital collaborator, plus new sleeve notes.
Since reuniting with London Records, Orbital have released the 2022 anthology ’30 Something’, which contained reworks, remakes, remixes and re-imaginings of their many landmark tracks, and last year’s critically acclaimed studio album ‘Optical Delusion’ which gave Orbital their first UK Album Chart Top 10 album since 1999’s ‘Middle Of Nowhere’.
Earlier this year Orbital reissued their eponymous 1991 debut album, known as ‘The Green Album’, to great acclaim (‘Game-changing’ ★★★★★ Mojo). The accompanying ‘Green + Brown Album Tour’ saw Orbital headline shows across the globe including festival performances at Coachella and a rapturously received Glastonbury, where they were joined by special guests Melanie C and Tilda Swinton as they celebrated 30 years since their landmark 1994 performance. The Green + Brown Album Tour continues into 2025 with European dates culminating in a London show at O2 Academy Brixton on April 5th.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
