Orbital have been wanting to make soundtracks for years and have
repeatedly said so in interviews. If they were offered the Saint, why
shouldn't they take it? Just because it's a Hollywood film? Since they are
so enamored with John Barry's music, I'm sure the prospect of making a
spy theme was what appealed to them rather than the enormous wads
of cash that they're undoubtedly earning. Selling out usually implies doing
something solely for monetary reward instead of for personal
gratification. By this logic, Orbital are far from selling out-- they are finally
getting to do what they've wanted to do for some time.
