Orbital 2 is the second album from the British electronica duo, Orbital. It is known colloquially as the Brown Album to differentiate it from Orbital's 1991 debut album, titled Orbital. It was released in May 1993 and reached the #28 on the UK album charts.

On Orbital 2 the duo aimed to make more intelligent and atmospheric music than the dance raves of their first album. They used more complex rhythms and denser arrangements on the appropriately monickered pieces entitled "Lush" but still proving themselves capable of making quality pop music on "Halcyon + On + On", with vocals from Kirsty Hawkshaw of Opus III.
