William Orbit - Barber's Adagio For Strings (Original Version)

Just to clear the air a bit from what spread between Tuesday and Saturday night

When, in '95, the album "Pieces In A Modern Style" was released, William Orbit was hailed as the driving force behind a "new" appreciation for classical music. His synthesisers rendition of Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings," which was very logical and convincing, even drew parallels to the sacred works of electronic transposition of classics once done by the great Wendy Carlos. Nothing could be further from the truth: Orbit had simply unleashed his old passion for classical music (the album featured Vivaldi but also Cage...) and quickly returned to his work as an established trendy producer of consumer pop with electro undertones.... He even blasphemed over his stunning work featured on this memorable album, remixing alongside other accomplices in a techno style this track and Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante defunte" included in this record.
