Orbital was first associated with early 1990s Acid House culture: the group was named after the M-25 (the London Orbital), which The Guardian called "the Sunset Strip of acid house parties" (raves).
Orbital toured heavily between 1993 and 1996, playing many festivals, including the Fordham Park Festival (1993), Glastonbery Festival (1994 and 1995), Tribal Gathering (1995), Feile Festival (1995), the Earth Energy Festuval (1996) and Chelmsford Festival (1996).
Orbital's political conscience was evident from the opening track "The Girl With The Sunshine In Her Head", recorded using Greenpeace's Cyrus solar generator, and dedicated to photographer Sally Harding.

Orbital was held simultaneously in Melbourne and London and features five new media art works by Australian artists Nicola Loder, Megan Jones, Nigel Helyer, Margie Medlin, Brook Andrew and Raymond Peer.
The artworks presented in Orbital were selected to present diverse aspirations of the Australian physical and cultural landscape and explore major environmental and cultural issues facing Australia today.
The Orbital media arts exhibition was designed in the recognition that British visions of the Australian landscape have not only shaped the physicality of Australia but have also transfixed the imagination and vision of Australian culture in the British psyche.

 Fortean Times - Iain Sinclair interview
Well the thing with Machen is that he spent so many years in London, doubling up the labyrinthine element of walking around London and picking into its mysteries with perpetual dreams and obsessions of pagan gods emerging in the Welsh border landscape and alien visitations, and the Grail.
This is very true and, in biographical terms, the poet character is based on somebody I know who was born in the south London suburbs and spent his time cutting grass in London, then took himself off to Wales to try to spend the rest of his life immersed in Welsh themes.
I went the opposite way and came to London to write about it, and always felt that he was doing the job that I should have been doing and couldn't.

 Literary Encyclopedia: London Orbital: A Walk around the M25
It may appear that this autumn the London magi are entering battle over the Matter of England - the publication of Sinclair's London Orbital: A Walk around the M25 coincides with that of Peter Ackroyd's Albion.
Ackroyd's “biography” of the city clings to a classificatory, encyclopaedic format: London retains a claim to objectivity, where London Orbital foregrounds Sinclair's subjectivity.
London Orbital continues to both hold up and probe foul hands on the road.

A highway inspired "London Orbital": the 10-lane Thatcher-era orbital motorway -- the M25 -- that encircles greater London.
He took the orbital walk in daylong chunks, always in sight or earshot of the highway, in the company of various friends, journalist Bill Drummond, painter Lawrence "Renchi" Bicknell and photographer Mark Atkins.
At one point on the orbital walk, Sinclair actually pays a call on Ballard, whose home in Shepperton adjoins the M25, and who is stunned by Sinclair's arrival on foot.

Now comes London Orbital, the second big chunk of paper sculpture in six years, a complex womb of ruche and fold and pleat, designed to encompass his earlier work of crazed cartography Lights Out for the Territory (1996).
Both of them love London - Ackroyd with a native son's desire to lay his head on her stony breast, Sinclair with the wide-eyed romanticism of an incomer from the sticks.
On his epic progress around the M25 orbital road, Sinclair marks certain events - such as "the Brink's-Mat alchemist" Kenneth Noye's "road rage" killing of Stephen Cameron at the Swanley interchange in May 1996 - as "gates that act as circuit-breakers, disturbing the energy generator that hums continually around the undisciplined body mass of London".

Part of the reason is that Sinclair brings to the project an immense literary talent, an intense and lifelong interest in the history of London and some extremely interesting travelling companions.
And yet after the first trip one finds oneself being sucked in and thinking about some of the grey, ugly images, or being angered by the grasping and philistine approach of developers and copywriters and the cynicism and hypocrisy of government.
Anyone interested in the history of how a major motorway came to be built in the green belt surrounding London or seeking an analysis of the effect it has had on local communities in terms of transport, economics and the environment will be disappointed.

The London Orbital Multi-Modal Study (Orbit) is one of a series of multi-modal studies being undertaken for the Department for Transport (DfT).
The overall aim of Orbit was to examine the existing and future problems for orbital travel around London and to produce a long-term sustainable management strategy for the M25, which meets the Government's objectives for transport and solves, or at least ameliorates, the problems on the M25, both now and in the future.
The Study area is all of London, the M25 and an area outside to a distance of 15-20 miles.

 Letter from London
Designed to reduce the amount of traffic on London's already over-congested roads and to persuade more people onto public transport (where, no doubt, they'll feel 'secure under the watchful eyes'), this scheme will be facilitated by the use of a CCTV surveillance system capable of reading 90% of car registration plates.
London Orbital is something of a homage to the novelist, both in terms of his influence but also as regards the (now somewhat clichéd) realisation that, in the UK, we are living in an increasingly 'Ballardian' landscape.
It should be said that, while it was commissioned by Channel Four television, London Orbital is an anomalous work in the current context of British television: in the demands it makes on its viewers, its experimental form, its unapologetic use of durational structures (road-time, surveillance-time, boredom as transcendence).

 Literary Encyclopedia: Sinclair, Iain
More nightmarish than ever in its visions of an alternate, wasted London and the fractured psyches of its inhabitants, the novel extends Downriver's critical engagement with contemporary political reality, while also revelling in its own dazzling and vertiginous play with language, mixing the archaic with the colloquial, the poetic with the streetwise.
In a marked departure, this work was primarily set, not in London, but on the borders of Wales, his birthplace.
By contrast, Sinclair's latest work, London Orbital (2002), both returned to familiar territory and provided itself with a clear structure in its narration of a walk around the M25, London's orbital motorway.
