Orbital "Satan Live" Promo Postcard December 1996

"Daddy?"
"Yes son?"
"What does regret mean...?"


It's Orbital again with a revamp of their number 31 hit from 1991... altogether now... "SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN!!!!"

By the end of 1996 Orbital were probably as massive as they would ever get, with their most successful album yet "In Sides" and a reputation as one of the best live electronic bands in the UK if not the World. So why not build upon that success by releasing one of their most popular live tracks as a single? Ker-ching. Number 3 hit, and their joint biggest single (alongside the aforementioned "Saint" later that Spring). Of course releasing this in the New Year of 1997 didn't harm it's chart position (see the earlier entry for PSB's "Drunk" for more sneaky Iron Maiden-esque release tactics). Tons of live classics over 3 CD singles. Thank you very much I'll have those.
