This bizarrely-packaged Orbital release found its way into a local used
shop, and I grabbed it...I was hoping someone might know its origin, or at
least something about it. I suspect it's some sort of promo item.
There's a CD, a videotape, and some plastic cards. Each is in a small
silvery translucent plastic bag of its own (mylar?), and the whole shebang
comes in a larger bag of the same material. On this bag, it gives the URL
of the Orbital site, the name and phone number of what I asssume is
Orbital's management co. (it looks like a UK phone number to me...+44 171
etc. etc.). It then has "Orbital TruPak:12" in about 96 point letters and
the Orbital and Internal logos.
_TruPak:12_
CD contains:
Chime (3:13)
Choice (8:09)
Belfast (5:13)
Sunday (7:12)
Impact (USA) (11:21)
Remind (7:58)
Kein Trink Wasser (9:25)
Are We Here? (15:33)
Times Fly (Slow) (7:59)
There's also a set of five license-plate-ish size translucent plastic
cards:
Orbital/Tracklist
Orbital/History
Orbital/Technology
Orbital/Live
Orbital/Discography
And then there's the video, which I have yet to see. (no TV, no VCR...ug.)
The video does not give a track listing, but says merely "Orbital/Live"
and has a NTSC sticker on it.
I'm not a proud owner of the green album, so I'm not sure it the first
three tracks are labelled correctly, but those are the times given by my
player...perhaps that is enough to figure out what they are. And the
discography card mentions nothing after _Times Fly_, so I strongly suspect
(gee, how brilliant of me) that this was made before _The Box_ was
released.
Thanks in advance.
