===Orbital, Goldie, and the 1990s Peak (1991β1999)=== [[Orbital]] became the label's most significant long-term signing, releasing their entire studio catalogue on FFRR from their self-titled debut album (1991) through ''The Altogether'' (2001), along with all their singles between those records. The duo's sophisticated [[techno]] and [[electronic]] sound was central to FFRR's identity during the decade. [[Goldie]], the [[drum and bass]] artist and producer, released his landmark debut ''Timeless'' (1995) and follow-up ''Saturnz Return'' (1998) on FFRR before departing to focus on his own [[Metalheadz]] imprint. FFRR also handled UK and international releases for [[Mo-Wax]], including [[DJ Shadow]]'s ''Endtroducing'' (1996), co-branded between the two labels. International distribution deals for [[Andrew Weatherall]]'s [[Sabres of Paradise]] label ran through FFRR as well. Other notable artists on the label through the decade included [[Armand Van Helden]], [[Carl Cox]], [[Frankie Knuckles]], [[The Brand New Heavies]], and [[All Saints]]. Shakespeare's Sister's six-week UK No. 1 "Stay" (1992) was among the pop crossover successes Tong oversaw in his A&R role. The label had two subsidiaries during this period: '''Ffrreedom''', a sister imprint oriented toward pop-dance singles, and '''Double F Double R''', a short-lived pop-trance imprint active from 2001 to 2003.
