General Information about William Orbit |
[ Hide ] |
|
William Orbit (born William Mark Wainwright, 15 December 1956, Shoreditch, Hackney) is an English musician, composer and record producer, perhaps best known to most for his work on Madonna's album Ray of Light, which received four Grammy Awards, sold 4 million copies in the U.S., and sold 20 million copies worldwide. He has also co-produced several unreleased Madonna songs originally recorded for other albums that were never used. In addition, he produced 13 by Blur, and remixed some of the songs on the album. He has three Grammy Awards. In addition to being a producer, Orbit is also a composer and multi-instrumentalist who has specialised in keyboard electronica and much of his work also features accomplished guitar and bass guitar playing. He has also recorded several largely instrumental solo albums on I.R.S. No Speak under the name Strange Cargo which features vocals by Beth Orton, Laurie Mayer and Joe Frank, among others. "Water from a Vine Leaf" was a chart success from the album Strange Cargo 3. Orbit was the musical force behind Bassomatic in the early 1990s. Their hit in 1990 was "Fascinating Rhythm". Orbit also produced a version of Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" (the original version of which was used as the main theme of the soundtrack to Platoon). "Adagio" was lifted from the successful album Pieces in a Modern Style which was a compilation of classical re-workings. Orbit's version of the track was itself remixed in 1999 by Ferry Corsten and became a big club music hit as well as reaching #4 in the UK Singles Chart. He founded Guerilla Records in 1989. In 2006, Orbit's album, Hello Waveforms was released on the Sanctuary label. Subsequently he produced two tracks — "Louise" and "Summertime" — for Robbie Williams' 2006 album, Rudebox. At this time, he also mixed several tracks on Laurie Mayer's most recent album, Black Lining. The 4 May 2009 saw Orbit's return with a new album, My Oracle Lives Uptown. "Purdy", appeared mixed by Chicane in Ministry of Sound: Inferno (2009). Orbit has enabled an internet radio (streamcast) which allow listeners to hear more than 10 hours of his music. In the playlist are variations of his well-known tracks, as well as previously released material. Alongside current solo works, William Orbit is currently working as part of the art collective Luxor, alongside former English National Ballet dancer Anna-Mi Fredriksson and the artist Pauline Amos.

Not so much The Wire as The Quagmire, plot thickens in Ashcroft affair
If the Lord Ashcroft affair were a TV show — not so much The Wire as The Quagmire — we would be well into the fourth series by now. It’s complicated. It’s arcane. Some characters have died (at least politically). Others are mysteriously absent most of the time.
