Why it's here
Chime made on a cassette deck for nothing; rave's first proper album
Orbital's Green Album carries the roughness of music made cheaply and quickly. 'Chime', recorded for almost nothing, still has the lift of a record discovering how far a home-built loop can travel. Around it, the album gives rave enough continuity to feel like more than a stack of singles.
