    I remember this, it was on the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack. Stands very well on it's own.

    It was also on the Hackers soundtrack. That movie is what got me into electronic music. Awesome soundtrack even if the movie was a bit out there.

    First heard this in Hackers as a kid. I discovered Orbital much later. The OST also had The Prodigy, Underworld, Carl Cox and Massive Attack.

    This is probably mostly nostalgia, but I think it's an all right movie. Not great, but moderately entertaining.

    It's also a great window into 90s youth culture and mainstream perceptions of internet/technology before it really got big.

    If you like it the whole Brown Album by Orbital is similar, not with the lovely Opus III vocals, but beat wise. Classic.

    Can't upvote this tune enough. The sound actually orbits your head as you listen to it. 8D remix before that was a thing. Great song go meditate to, too.
