William Orbit may be best known as one of the world's leading producers (with credits including Madonna's multi-platinum album Ray of Light, Blur's 13 and All Saints No. 1 single Pure Shores), but his solo work has been no less successful, with two top 5 singles and a gold-selling No. 2 album, Pieces in a Modern Style to his name. Throughout his career Orbit has continually maintained a balance between artistry and commercial appeal, with his Strange Cargo releases a perfect example of this. The Strange Cargo series represents a milestone in instrumental electronica, racking up 60 k UK sales across the three albums and still managing to sound as fresh and relevant today as it did when it was released in the early 1990s - which for electronic music is no mean feat! Currently only available as part of the Strange Cargo I-III set, Strange Cargo II is now set to be released individually both physically and digitally.
