ORBITAL - "Adnan's" from the IN SIDES album
Written by Paul and Phil Hartnoll

This was another track that was written in one day.

Originally written for War Child charity record and they wanted all artists to record their tracks in one day. The first original version was called "Adnan"

The version on In Sides, is the extended version. The precision sounds were all recorded in a friends work shop using saw and hammers. There is for example, a sound of sawing through a pipe and also hitting a pipe.

909 is heavily used.

Has a cold war vibe to the track

Orbital watched the news about a family evacuated from the former Yugoslavia. The father had to stay behind to work, and his 16-year-old son decided he had to go back and stay with him. He felt he couldn't leave him on his own. After a few days the son, Adnan, got blown up and killed.
