Orbital, commonly known as the Green Album, or Orbital 1, is the debut studio album by English electronic music duo Orbital, released on 30 September 1991 by FFRR Records. Orbital self-titled their first two albums so the "Green Album" is an unofficial name to distinguish it from the second album. The Mutations EP refer to the album as L.P. C.D. M.C., thus titling the album after the "LP" / "CD" / "MC" on the front cover of the respective format.

The original European release includes live versions of "Chime" and "Midnight". Orbital was released in 1992 with a significantly different cover and track listing in the United States, incorporating remixes and non-album singles.[6] All tracks on the U.S. release had also been remastered using the Bedini Audio Spectral Enhancer (B.A.S.E.) to enhance their stereophonic effects.
All tracks written by Orbital.
Each format (LP, CD and cassette) included a track not included on the others. The unlisted outro track appeared on the CD version only.[7] The double vinyl LP version included a track called "Macro Head" between "Speed Freak" and "Oolaa",[8] while the cassette included a nine-minute track listed as "Untitled" between "High Rise" and "Chime (Live)".[9] The cover design was modified to identify the format, with the red circle on the LP, CD, and cassette versions including the text LP, CD, and MC respectively. Vinyl pressings had the track listing on the front cover, rather than on the back.
"Belfast" appears on the soundtrack to the film Human Traffic.
