Blue Room

Blue Room is the title of a song by the British group The Orb. It was released as a single on 08 June 1992 on the Big Life label. The full length version is 39:57 long although edits and shorter remixes have also been issued. The Official Charts had recently extended the permissible playing time of a chart-eligible single from 25 minutes to 40 minutes and so Blue Room became the group's first Top 40 hit reaching no.8 on 21 June.

The group, Alex Paterson and Kris Weston, famously appeared on Top of the Pops on 18 June 1992 playing a chess-like game instead of 'performing' the song in any way. The single reached its chart peak a few days later.

The Orb performed at Glastonbury Festival on 28 June. The setlist included Blue Room. (bootleg recording here) A 17:34 edit of Blue Room also featured on the ensuing album U.F.Orb released on 06 July.
