William Orbit's new forthcoming album "Hello Waveforms" will be released 21st February 2006 on Sanctuary records.
His first solo release since 2000’s critically acclaimed ‘Pieces in a Modern Style’, the new album was performed and produced by William. ‘Hello Waveforms’ is ethereal, ambient, subtle and distinctive in style, fusing strong melodies with electronic synths to produce his definitive signature sound.
Recorded in London and America, the new album features a collection of collaborations and influences - the track ‘Humming Chorus’ is taken from Madame Butterfly, ‘Spiral’ features the Sugababes and Kenna on vocals, while Finley Quaye plays acoustic guitar on the dreamlike ‘Who Owns The Octopus’.
William has also reunited with his former Strange Cargo band member Laurie Mayer, who plays piano and synthesizer on ‘Surfin’ and provides vocals on the tracks ‘Bubble Universe’ and ‘Who Owns the Octopus?’.
Track listing is: "sea green", "humming chorus", "surfin", "you know too much about flying saucers", "spiral", "who owns the octopus?", "bubble universe", "fragamosia", "firebrand", "they live in the sky", "colours from nowhere".
Previews of these tracks are available on the web site both at the top of the page, and in the New Music section. Multi-track versions of "Surfin" and "Colours from nowhere" are also available in the OrbitMixer page (or via http://orbitmixer.com) which allows you to make your very own mix!

最近strage cargosのベストを中古で手に入れたので、新譜がリリースされるまで過去の作品を聞きなおしています。
water from a vine leafのunderworld remixが気になっていたのですが、born slipyで売れる前の彼らのchillout系の音も久しぶりに聞きなおしたくなりました。
