In Iain M. Banks' fictional Culture universe, an Orbital (sometimes also simply called an O or a small ring) is a purpose-built space habitat forming a ring typically around 6 million km (3.7 million miles) in diameter. The rotation of the ring simulates both gravity and a day-night cycle comparable to a planetary body orbiting a star.
Its inhabitants, often numbering many billions, live on the inside of the ring, where continent-sized "plates" have been shaped to provide all sorts of natural environments and climates, often with the aim of producing especially spectacular results.
Orbital is the second album from British electronica duo Orbital. In the United States the album had the title Orbital 2 on the spine of the album: in the rest of the world outside the US the album was released without a title, and it is commonly known as The Brown Album to differentiate it from Orbital's similarly untitled 1991 debut album, which had a green cover. It was released in May 1993 and reached the #28 on the UK album charts.
Orbital were an English electronic dance music duo from Sevenoaks, Kent, consisting of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll. Their career initially ran from 1989 until 2004, but in 2009 they announced that they would be reforming and headlining The Big Chill, in addition to a number of other live shows in 2009. The band's name was taken from Greater London's orbital motorway, the M25, which was central to the early rave scene and party network in the South East during the early days of acid house. In addition, the cover art on three of their albums features stylised atomic orbitals. Orbital were both critically and commercially successful, and known particularly for their element of live improvisation during shows, a rarity among techno acts. They were initially influenced by early electro and punk rock.
Orbital is the first album from Orbital, released in 1991. It is often referred to as the "Green Album", to differentiate it from the band's second album, titled Orbital 2 (known as the "Brown Album"), which bears only the band's name on the cover.
Orbital is a Franco-Belgian comics series written by Sylvain Runberg, illustrated by Serge Pellé and published by Dupuis in French and Cinebook in English.
An orbital (also known as a circle line or loop) in the context of metro systems is a metro or subway line encircling a city or metropolitan area. Such lines relieve the loads on other lines within the orbital by providing alternative connections among the other lines. In other words, a passenger whose origin and destination are both outside the enclosed central area but on different lines can bypass the urban center and possibly shorten the journey by going around the (often congested) area enclosed by the orbital.
