"Halcyon" is a song written and performed by Orbital. The song features a backmasked vocal sample by Kirsty Hawkshaw from "It's a Fine Day" by Opus III (1992) (Hawkshaw played the mother who was 'under the influence' in the video, which was shot in the Hartnolls' home). This original form of the song is relatively uncommon; it first appeared on the Radiccio EP, and was only in the U.S. release as a single under its own name.

dbpprop:abstract
  • "Halcyon" is a song written and performed by Orbital. The song features a backmasked vocal sample by Kirsty Hawkshaw from "It's a Fine Day" by Opus III (1992) (Hawkshaw played the mother who was 'under the influence' in the video, which was shot in the Hartnolls' home). This original form of the song is relatively uncommon; it first appeared on the Radiccio EP, and was only in the U.S. release as a single under its own name. It did not appear on a full-length album until the compilation Work 1989-2002, although only in its shorter "single edit". The music video for "Halcyon" is available on the official Orbital fan site. "Halcyon" is 11 minutes and 7 seconds long. On Orbital's second eponymous album the track "Halcyon + on + on" appears, a slightly more upbeat and melodic remix of the original song. In contrast to the original, the remix is far more widely known, and has featured on several movie soundtracks. The title of the remix is inspired by a contemporary advertising slogan used by the Ariston washing machine company ("Ariston + on + on"). "Halcyon + on + on" is somewhat shorter than the original, at 9 minutes and 27 seconds long. In live performances, "Halcyon + on + on" was itself frequently remixed with clips from Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth" and Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name". In June 2009, Orbital released a two CD greatest hits compilation Orbital 20, which included a number of new remixes, including a "remodel" of "Halcyon" by Tom Middleton.
  • Halcyon — песня написанная и исполненная Orbital. В своей начальной форме, это меланхоличная дань снотворному Триазоламу, вызывающему привыкание, которое, как сообщают, принимала мать братьев Хартнолл. Оригинальная форма данного музыкального произведения не обычна; ее полная версия не появилась до выхода альбома Work 1989-2002. На песню «Halcyon» был снят видеоклип. Тесно связанная песня «Halcyon + on + on», значительно более быстрый ремикс дополненный вокалом Кристи Хокшоу «Это отличный день» записанный Opus III и воспроизведенным в обратном порядке (В клипе Хокшоу сыграла мать которая находилась «под воздействием», снятым в доме братьев Хартнолл). В отличие от оригинала, ремикс значительно шире известен, и стал саундтреком к нескольким фильмам. Данный ремикс впервые появился на коричневом альбоме Orbital. На название ремикса повлиял рекламный лозунг того времени, использовавшийся стиральными машинами Ariston (Ariston + on + on). Длительность «Halcyon + on + on» 9 минут 24 секунды. В живом исполнении, «Halcyon + on + on» часто миксовался с клипами Белинды Карлайл Heaven is a Place on Earth и Бон Джови «You Give Love a Bad Name».
