His family posted in a statement on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbvPBoeDCAz\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> that \u201cWilliam passed away at home on 23rd July 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orbit began his career in 1980 with the electronic trio Torch Song. But in the early 90s, high-profile remixes for Madonna led to a production career that shifted the sound of rock and pop music in the late 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This list celebrates three masterpieces that Orbit guided into existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201813\u2019 by Blur (1999)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blur - Tender (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SaHrqKKFnSA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of Britpop\u2019s \u201cBig Four,\u201d Blur helped transform 90s pop culture in the U.K. However, the London band found its greatest success after a reinvention. They adopted the rawness of American indie rock, resulting in their 1997 noisy anthem, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/3-facts-you-might-not-know-about-song-2-by-blur\/\">\u201cSong 2\u201d<\/a>. Blur returned in 1999 with a patchwork masterpiece called <em>13<\/em>. Orbit directed Damon Albarn through a multitude of heartbreaking confessionals documenting the singer\u2019s breakup with Elastica\u2019s Justine Frischmann. The album opens with the Brit-gospel classic \u201cTender\u201d. Other standout tracks include \u201cCoffee &amp; TV\u201d and the utterly crushing \u201cNo Distance Left To Run\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2018Ray Of Light\u2019 by Madonna (1998)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Madonna - Ray Of Light (Official Video) [HD]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x3ov9USxVxY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Blur, Madonna was searching for a musical reinvention when she connected with Orbit. She\u2019d become a mother, adopted Jewish mysticism, and dabbled in Eastern philosophies, yoga, and the like. All of it coalesced into a hazy, electronic album that\u2019s equal parts banger and earnest meditation. It remains my favorite Madonna long player. Here, Orbit brings the experiments of the electronic underground to normie listeners. \u201cDrowned World \/ Substitute For Love\u201d is for the times you feel the tears must flow. \u201cRay Of Light\u201d still demands critical volume. And finally, Madge and Orbit go grunge on \u201cCandy Perfume Girl\u201d. Crank it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cElectrical Storm\u201d by U2 (2002)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix \/ Radio Edit \/ Remastered 2024)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RI4CVa7stlc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When U2 released its second greatest hits compilation, the band included two new tracks. The best-of landed between <em>All That You Can\u2019t Leave Behind<\/em> and <em>How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb<\/em>. Of course, U2 were no strangers to connecting rock with dance music. In 1991, they exited Berlin\u2019s Hansa Studios with their Bowie-esque masterpiece, <em>Achtung Baby<\/em>. But \u201cElectrical Storm\u201d proved the Irish post-punks still had some gas left in the tank. Through Orbit\u2019s lens, the track has echoes of Madonna\u2019s <em>Ray Of Light<\/em>. But the producer\u2019s glitching layers also help lift the drama to match both U2\u2019s sky-scraping earnestness and global pop ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Victor Fraile\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am sad to read this morning about the passing of electronic musician and producer William Orbit.
