Then vs now as featured in @guardian Paul: This photo was taken in the cupboard-under-the-stairs-turned-office at my parents’ old house. We had just been on Top of the Pops and Chime was in the Top 40, so the Sevenoaks Chronicle wanted to interview us.
30 years today we released our first album! We will share some stories today on the Green album but please RT/reply with your favourite track + any fond memories you have.

"@KNEECAPCEOL is an absolutely amazingly brilliant movie with an incredible soundtrack. So happy that 'Belfast' got in there in a major scene. If you haven’t seen it’s a must 🇮🇪" - @philhartnoll#Kneecap#Belfast#Orbital
In 1989, Orbital recorded Chime in one take; six inputs, straight to cassette.
From a stair cupboard to Top of the Pops, @petetong called it “one of the finest examples” of a new movement.
@JoeyBeltram flipped it in Energy Flash. The ripple hasn’t stopped.
