paul hartnoll feat. robert smith

Please

Here's a collaboration you probably didn't see coming. A post-Orbital Paul Hartnoll taking on some swish, anthemic electronica with vocal accompaniment from The Cure's Robert Smith. The result is a surprisingly organic meeting of two artists with rather different backgrounds. Smith's vocals glide with a characteristic, warm sense of melodrama that makes for a very human, expressive counterbalance to the staunchly mechanised backing track supplied by Hartnoll. The CD version comes with exclusive B-side 'Old School Tie' which finds Hartnoll back in instrumental territory, scaring up a brand of electronic wizardry that's perhaps a bit more adventurous than much of Orbital's material. Also included are Statik and KGB remixes of 'Please'.
