It’s hard to believe it’s been six years since the bros. Hartnoll last graced us with some new music. Thinking about 2004, when the legendary UK duo called it quits—techno was “dead,” indie was the new rave—it’s hard to imagine a time when electronic music wasn’t a smart proposition. Thank goodness 2010 is raving again, and Orbital are back with a new selection of their unique minimal-yet-catchy electronica. “Don’t Stop Me” pushes all the right buttons, from the gurgling analog beats to the chopped sample of The Buggle’s “Video Killed The Radio Star.” Expect this bad boy to go over gang-busters when wedged between “Satan” and “Chime” at Glastonbury this summer.

Orbital “Don’t Stop Me” (Radio Edit)
Boombox radio got me into Orbital, soothing shit
[...] premiered Orbital’s comeback [...]
Even when using samples from the Buggles \Video Killed the Radio Star\ this is completely lame. Orbital used to lead the way but now it seems as if they are stuck in a loop. Next single please.
@miws: Are you kidding? The beauty of the song is being very minimalist, yet still having an undeniably strong pop hook.
