Kirsty Hawkshaw's Orange

I was hunting around my harddrive last night and I found something that I thought I'd share. A while ago, Josh and I did a set at Corsica studios. The room was pretty empty so we just thought we'd abandon our previously planned upbeat set and wing it on the ambient tip. One of the results was this improvised version of Kirsty Hawkshaw's ambient classic Orange. If you don't know the original, it's probably one of my favourite tunes of all time, almost dangerous in it's ability to make me cry. You can find it on the album OUT and it should be an essential purchase for your collection.

This is our version:

Add this to my list of the very few songs that can make me cry, too. Thank you, Andy. We miss you terribly.

Love this too, I originally heard it on Sally's Photographic Memory:

I believe it was written as a tribute to Sally Harding. Thanks for this beautiful version.

Yeah Ben, that's where I first heard it too. Lovely compilation that, as well as a touching sentiment.
