A rework of a rework, The Sinner can be found as a b-side to Orbital's single The Saint and on bonus discs of In Sides. It's sort of an extended dub mix of a-side The Saint, which is a updated version of Edwin Astley's theme music for the 60's TV show The Saint. Confusing, yes.

I was a pioneer in my school, i introduced this band to so many......I had all the albums, some were special order. fu#king loved them, then someone stoled all my cd's. Until I hear you again on you tube.this music makes me feel powerful, love the feeling I get from listening to their music .nothing else i listen to does this, funking fantastic. Orbital music should be are world's national anthem, what alien would fuk with us after listening to this. They would be paralzed with dance fever.

Every sound on this track is perfect. There's just so much to love about it. The build up is sublime. I own the CD Single so am glad to have it available on YT. Highlights for me: 2:36 section, 303 + two note high synth, with the 303 peaking thru at the start of this section and at the end of every second bar. 7:07 section introducing the oboe/flute that builds superbly to 8:18. Such tension! I would LOVE to see the Hartnoll Brothers take us thru a YouTube guide of how they selected the sounds for this track and from which synths/modules/machines they came from. Plus, who mixed & mastered this, because it's bloody brilliant!

First electronic song I heard on cassette in my dads car when I was about 5. Loved it since then.

This is probably my favorite Orbital song. It's also super underrated.

Hockenheim: 4 and a quarter miles of torturous tarmac. Part show business through the stadium, part magical mystery tour into the forest.

Really like this track. Takes the focus off the whole Saint thing and into its own song in a definite solid Orbital style

Reminds me of the old ITV F1 hotlaps from 97-99.

Kraftwerk were quite inspired by this for their "Tango" track, which the played live quite a few times, but was never officially released.

Val Kilmer came up in conversation recently, and this quickly led my mind to this song. It is one of my all time favourites. I then went on a hunt online and ordered the CD single, since my vinyl copy is somewhere in my parents basement on the other side of the ocean and I no longer have turntables (I know, blasphemy to not own turntables anymore). I am paying more for shipping than I am for the CD, lol

You got that right, Cengizhan. This a pure magnum opus! I love it so much!!!! Orbital roxers the boxers. I will enjoy this song til the end of my days.

The Sinner is a classic example of what Orbital can do when they are let loose and not constrained by the "rules" of The Saint remake (which is still quality).

Damn. Now i know what all those tribal folks back in the pre history times were talking about. Big heavy drums really do make you feel powerful.
