There is a reason why Orbital has remained at the top of the acid house scene for over 30 years. Made up of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll, this duo encompasses an unrivaled sense of creativity and level of expertise when it comes to production. Throughout their legendary career, Orbital has stunned listeners with tracks like “Chime”, Satan”, and “Belfast”. They have also toured across the world, showcasing their seamless mixing abilities.
Hitting a huge mark in their musical journey, Orbital proves they are still at the peak of their game with the release of their tenth studio album, Optical Delusion. This project features mind-bending anthems, that blend elements of techno, acid house, and other genres together. Each song contains unique production and there are a variety of collaborations with new-age talent.
For example, “Day One”, featuring Dina Ipavic, has a driving industrial bassline and a mesmerizing break in its second half. These elements pair perfectly with Dina’s transcendent vocals. In “Dirty Rat”, Sleaford Mods delivers powerful lyrics that grow the overall intensity of the song. His voice is layered over an electrifying fusion of acid house and techno. Arguably one of the most captivating collabs on Optical Delusion is “Are You Alive?”, with brother-sister duo Penelope Isles. As soft beautiful lyrics embrace an uplifting vibe, Orbital engineers an instrumental overflowing with crisp percussion and ethereal synths.
Taking its audience on a wild adventure through different vocals, frequencies, effects, and overall sound design, Orbital continues further cements their spot in EDM history with Optical Delusion.
