The Box (Orbital song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Box" is a single by the British electronica duo Orbital. They released it in 1996 and the single reached number 11 on the UK chart. Orbital claimed in a 2002 sleeve note that the single's video, which starred the Scottish actress Tilda Swinton was "by common consent, the best video we've ever done". The promotional video won a silver sphere for the best short film at the San Francisco film festival and got nominated for the best video award at the 1997 Brits awards. It also closed the Edinburgh film festival and opened the London film festival.
Part of the song was used in the Danny Boyle film, A Life Less Ordinary, but was not on the soundtrack CD.
The Box is available in two versions: The truncated version ("parts 1 and 2") on the album In Sides, and the fuller version comprising four distinct pieces available on The Box EP or CD single.
The last part on the CD single contains a vocal version of The Box, with additional vocals by Alison Goldfrapp.
