Classic Tracks: Orbital – Chime

"I was in a happy mood, I wasn't consciously thinking about what I was going to do, and so I just knocked up this little refrain by sampling three things from an easy listening record of my dad's, containing instrumental cover versions of popular hits." And that record was? "Uh, well, I can't really tell you. I know what it was, but I've never cleared the samples! And to be honest, I can't even find them. I've bought that album twice in second-hand shops, and I've listened to it so many times, trying to hear where 'Chime' came from, and I can't tell. It was literally random sampling and then homing in on a chord and going 'that's nice'. Then I got a 303 going, along with a big, fat bass line on the DX100, and after that I added 909 and [Alesis] HR16 drum machines."
