That would be its use in the song DI-1-9026 on Foetus album Nail. The first of his recordings that doesn't sound like a Karlheinz Stockhausen fever dream or John Cage on Benzedrine (we use to call them Bennie's in my day)

Also Trevor Horn

That one song on Songs From the Big Chair has about a million of them. Features forming with a change in the weather and what not.

As a counter to the orchestra hits in pop songs, the most powerful orchestra hits in a modern large orchestra scored piece I can think of:



As an unpleasant character is he was in life, Stravinsky was a powerhouse of orchestration technique and timbre - especially in his early career.

As an aside, I always loved the tuning of the big orchestral bass drum at the CSO. That's some heavy subsonic stuff going on there - best listened to on a system that can reproduce that kind of infrasound excursion in the flutter of the drum head.

Cabaret Voltaire used orchestra hits in the mid-US-80s to good effect, in good songs, if you enjoy that era.
