There are several versions of Orbital's beautiful Halcyon- the one here, the lp version, is a minute or two shorter than the original 12" mix (from the Radiccio single). Let's not be too fussy- I'll take any of the versions, they're all superb. The Halcyon + On + On version is little more upbeat, more up front, less reflective, less sad even than the Radiccio one. It's got a vocal sample, played backwards, from Opus III's It's A Fine Day (sung by Kirsty Hawkshaw). Live the Hartnoll Brothers like to chuck in Belinda Carlisle or Bon Jovi, and even the dreaded Darkness.
That's the technical stuff done. Now enjoy.
Halcyon + On + On
