    the term classic house , melt was used on their press release mailout.. and if you do a google search for orbital news similar to what i wrote, you'll find im not the only one who used it.

    :rolleyes:

    if reading "classic house" next to orbital did in fact put you into a state of confusion worthy of a mention then i apologise.

    the orbital I know never played house

    the only way they could be in any way shape or form construed as playing house is when all dance music was played under 1 roof and everything was referred to as "house music"

    Rumblings about progressive house don't seem to bother the Hartnoll brothers, aka Orbital - probably because they've been progressive and house all along. "As far as I can gather, progressive house means Guerilla Records," says Paul as they relax in Phil's garden in Finsbury Park.

    "It's just a new name for genuine house," adds Phil. "Like, many of the people who were making house music originally are people who are doing that style of music now. But because there's nothing you can really describe as house now, suddenly it's called progressive house."

    i can clearly understand why any genre related controversy would ruffle melts feathers more than Orbital themselves....
