I think everyone has heard Orbital whether they know it or not. Their song "Halcyon + On + On" has been used in numerous movie soundtracks and is their most popular song. Everyone (I think) has seen the utterly pointless Mortal Kombat movie and have heard the song played at the end. Let this be a refresher:
Paul Hartnoll is one half of Orbital and released a solo album in 2007. "The Ideal Condition" isn't drastically different from any of the Orbital albums so fans of the group won't have any difficulty get into it. It's a short album with guest singers appearing on tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8 the most notable one being The Cure's Robert Smith. While it's not an amazing album it has enough on it to warrant repeated listens. Here is the Robert Smith track, not my favorite but I couldn't find much else:
Orbital have recently announced that they have reformed and will hopefully release another album.
