Google led me to the group on FB it originated from. The uploader is aware of the problem with the link but is currently following Orbital on their tour in Australia.

https://www.borndirty.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18549 final artwork is done, everything is in that dropbox link (quite complicated with the three (four?) different versions you can make, extended/overburn or alternative options with fades or various tracks even)
― StanM, Monday, 11 March 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
the "OMT050 - Timeless Soundtrack Live 1990-2018" folder contains a .torrent file that may be even better than getting everything via dropbox

I think I gave their last album maybe 2 or 3 listens and I haven't felt the need to put it on since. I'm still listening to Wonky a lot, though.

finally giving the OMT050 set a proper listen and its really great. it starts with "Out There Somewhere" so you know this is really a "for the fans, by the fans" sorta thing. bounces all over Orbital's career, often blending 2+ performances of the tracks together (mostly to get the transitions they want), almost sounding like one really long show in a sense. sound quality is pretty good for the most part ("I Don't Know You People" sounds fairly poor but that's it) and the track selection is really nice...first half is nearly all stuff from Sniv, In Sides, and MoN, including the full version of "The Box"...at least, everything up to the vocal part). I think the focus was to capture the performances where they add in new loops or drop in unexpected samples.
on the other hand lmao its 5 1/2 hours long

"maru" remix >>> anything on monsters existplaid melodism / orbital brashness seem to work well together, hope there will be more. imagine what orbital could do with "do matter"!

Get a Bandcamp, Orbital!
Not only was the set ace, it's astounding how clear & sharp the sound was, for a 30-year-old tape played through a TV. Wonder if it was a straight stereo output, or they recorded multitrack and Paul was able to polish it up a bit for this stream.
― Steppin' RZA (sic), Saturday, 1 August 2020 20:36 (four years ago) link
DAT I imagine. Chime famously recorded on cassette though.

Sure, but I mean what they were feeding to the DAT.

This soundboard recording of the first-ever Orbital gig is a must-listen, imo. Half an hour including commentary bookends from Paul.

Still on the web from 1992: a long listserv account from an enthusiastic Salt Lake City fan who realised the Communion tour would have to drive through his town to get from gigs in Boulder on a Monday night to San Francisco on the Wednesday. In lieu of his previous plan of spending $300 to drive to SF to see them, he phoned around the country until he found someone he could pitch on offering $3000 for Orbital, Meat Beat Manifesto and Ultramarine to stop and play a show on the way through.
When the opening DJ agreed, all this dude had to do was figure out how to book a venue, hire lighting and sound gear, cater, tech, promote and run a night of an international tour. In five days.

an Orbital poll would be fun but I don't think anything particularly interesting is gonna come out of it, their big tracks & hidden gems are pretty well defined and they don't have a real expansive back catalogue the way Underworld does

I'd be well up for a poll, 9 studio albums plus other stuff is a big enough discography, plus the rave orbital vs. prog orbital, fite! opportunities.
