[edit] Citations

--Tyler 23:30, 30 November 2005 (UTC) It would be helpful to attribute some sources to back up the claim that Orbital were among the most influential artists in the genre. While this is undoubtably true, it would be good to be able to cite polls, artists saying how much Orbital influenced them etc.

The two citations for Chimo Bayo need replacing. One has been removed from youtube and the other one doesn't prove he used head-mounted lights before Orbital did. (Chorleypie 13:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] this article won't be found when searched for.

it's really hard to find this article. a search for "orbital" reveals a lot of unrelated crap, as does "Orbital (band)" - the exact title of the article! what gives?! this is very wierd and annoying. i have to use the article for "Doctor Who Theme Music" to find it each time.

Odd; it comes up first when I search for it using either "orbital" or "orbital (band)". — JEREMY 17:57, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orbital and pentatonic music

Hello. I suspect that a lot of Orbital's unusual sound (their music is without fail very distinctive as Orbital) is caused partly by their extensive use of pentatonic scales, used widely in Eastern (usually Asian) music but not in Western. Could somebody with more knowledge in musicology than myself confirm this by listening to e.g. 'Nothing Left 2' or 'Impact: The Earth Is Burning'. If someone could confirm this to be correct, it would make a useful addition to the article. Thanks, JH1977 18:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

I added an image SelfStudyBuddy 09:48, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Had to remove the image, as it's not fair use to use a mag cover to illustrate the people on the cover. See #7 on WP:Fair_use#Counterexamples Rob T Firefly 03:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remix list

It'd be great if we could add an official remix list to the article, as I've heard that The Prodigy remixed the song "Halcyon + on +on," although I cannot find this track. Gamer Junkie 07:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
