Orbital - In Sides

In Sides was released in 1996 by the FFRR label in the UK and distributed internationally. It was the British duo's fourth studio album and solidified their transition from rave acts to respected electronic composers. FFRR was famous for championing prominent house and techno acts during the 1990s.

In Sides is primarily classified as techno and ambient trance, noted for its long, intricate, and multi-layered track structures. It diverged from typical 90s club anthems by offering deeply melodic, cinematic soundscapes. Tracks like "The Box" span over 20 minutes in their full-length album versions.

While "The Box" was released as a heavily edited single, the album track "The Girl with the Sun in Her Head" is particularly famous for being featured in a popular Greenpeace advertisement. The album is widely considered one of the greatest electronic albums of the 1990s by critics. It was praised for pushing the boundaries of IDM (Intelligent Dance Music).

Orbital consists of the British brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll. They are named after the M25 motorway orbital ring road that was famous for hosting massive illegal 90s raves. The duo is famous for their live performances where they wear distinctive glasses with built-in lights.
