Times Fly (EP)

Times Fly is an EP by Orbital in 1995. The EP was too long in duration to qualify for the UK Singles Chart but its dealer price was too low to qualify for the UK Album Chart.

The EP features four tracks and the 12" version covers two pieces of vinyl with a track over each side. There are two versions of the title track, "Times Fly (Slow)", a downtempo track, and "Times Fly (Fast)", with a more drum and bass feel. The EP also includes "Sad But New", an alternate version of "Sad But True" from the Snivilisation album featuring vocals by Alison Goldfrapp. "Sad But New" samples then-current Prime Minister John Major discussing New Age travellers. In its original broadcast on BBC Radio 1 via ISDN, "Sad But True" featured extensive samples from John Major edited together into a protest message.

An even faster version of "Times Fly" called "Equinox" was published on the 1995 compilation 3rd Side of the Record: Compilation One. A version of "The Tranquilizer" called "The Tranquiliser Busy Tranquilising" was later published on the 1997 compilation Foundations: Coming up from the Streets.
