Notes
The fourth album introduced another slight direction change. The Soundtrack album as some people refer to it held 6 long tracks each with a theme. Paul stated "In Sides was meant to be a dance album" but Phil added "But when we come in the studio to record , we dont switch off from our lives". The mood of the boyz when they created "In Sides" appears to have been a frustrating depression. Their moods have transcribed brilliantly onto their tracks.Highlights are "The Girl With The Sun In Her Head" which was dedicated to Sally Harding who tragically died in December 1995. Probably the most uplifting track they have created and one of my personnal favourites of all time. "P.E.T.R.O.L" which was a spooky jungle track and was used in the Playstation game "Wipeout". "Dwr Budr" which again is one of my personnal favourites of all time, was composed with the thoughts of the infamous oil tanker disaster off the coast of Wales (Dwr Budr = Dirty water in Welsh). The track features reversed sampling of the Mysterious Auntie which on top of the moog synths sounds moody and eerie. "Out There Somewhere" which totals 24 minutes of excellent theme music. This is the proof that soundtracks is what Orbital do best.
