Belfast



It’s hard to believe Orbital recorded this seminal tune back in 1954. Understandably so as it’s not true - it was actually made in I think 1990. The vocals however do predate in composition even that distant year of 1954, mentioned in the first sentence, and stem from a 12th century composition O Euchari by Hildegard von Bingen, a German Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, mystic and philosopher.
