aaaand - I mean... come on.

clearly this release is for nothing other than added publicity for their new live shows
and it's a bit silly to be celebrating their 20th Anniversary if they "broke up" for a few years...

Can't blame them for doing what they love but I really wish they'd release some new material out of this. They ended Orbital at the right time IMO but you have to wonder if the Hartnoll brothers are afraid of vanishing into obscurity.

Yes the new release is just publicity for the tour, which is not really uncommon, but Work was a really bad attempt at representing what was great about the group (I started with that album and couldn't have imagined how great their classic albums were), and that new-ish Halycon greatest hits thing was trash. Hopefully this one turns out much better!!
