Peel Session is an EP by Orbital. It is the commercial release of a session first broadcast on the John Peel show on BBC Radio 1 on 10 September 1993.

The session comprises four tracks, arranged in two medleys. The first medley features new versions of tracks from the duo's previous album Orbital 2, also known as The Brown Album. The second features a remake of "Semi Detached", the original version of which appeared on the various artists compilation Trance Europe Express, which segues into a new ambient music track, "Attached". The latter was itself remade for Orbital's next album, Snivilisation.

Samples of laughter heard in 'Lush (Eurotunnel Disaster '94)' are taken from Mike Leigh's 1991 film Life Is Sweet.
