Brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll formed the dance duo of Orbital, which takes the name from the Greater London’s orbital motorway, the M25, and are from Sevenoaks, Kent, England. Their first album was released back in 1991 and since then have put out a total of nine albums full of material. The brothers have also helped create the soundtracks to the feature films Event Horizon, Pusher, and Octane.
The duo is about to take off on their UK tour, the upcoming dates, which starts October 18th, will take them from the Netherlands to Germany, to Sweden to Denmark to London before wrapping up on November 20th in Manchester.
