[edit] Album name
The correct name of this album is "Orbital 2" which you can verify by looking at the CD case, any retailer, and any discography. --Mperry 20:41, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'm afraid this is certainly not true. The name of this album is Orbital - the same as the first one. Triangle e 13:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- The evidence doesn't support your assertion. The album is listed as Orbital 2 at online stores[1][2] and general music review sites[3][4]. Although according to All Music Review, the second album is untitled[5]. This is also mentioned on the official Orbital web page when talking about the album where they say, "Known as Untitled II or Brown Album".[6] If we want to follow artist intent then this album might not be Orbital 2 but it also wouldn't be just Orbital either. But I don't think they care much as in the last FAQ question on the album page someone asks about Orbital 2 and they didn't bother to correct.[7] All Music Review ends up calling the album Orbital 2 as well, listing it in the discography as such[8] and going so far as to write a review with using that name[9]. Finally, on the spine of the case of my CD, which I bought only several months after the release of the album, it says "Orbital 2" (I can provide photos on request). I have a hard time believing that Orbital had enough creative control to include what they wanted for the inlay (see FAQ link above) but didn't have control over the text on the spine. --Mperry 18:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know in which country you live in or at what point you bought your copy of the album but the album, as it was originally released in the UK (where I am from) was just called Orbital - the same title as the first one. I own the original album, as bought at the time, and it is definitely the case that it was called Orbital. Whether, subsequently it was renamed Orbital 2 in other countries around the world to avoid confusion with the first album I do not know, but the original release of this album WAS called Orbital. It is referred to as The Brown Album and Orbital 2 in other publications to avoid confusion - but that does not detract from the fact that the album is still called Orbital.

- My copy was purchased in the US. As I already stated, I bought my copy several months after the original release in 1993. Please provide references for your claims. --Mperry 00:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- There are two major chart statistic books in the UK: [10] and [11]. Both of these are highly accurate and list the albums with their correct titles. I have a book by All Music called "The All Music Guide to Electronica" and it's riddled with mistakes throughout so I don't trust any of their publications. Triangle e 01:01, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
