Orbital is the band that got me into the good musics. I heard "Know Where To Run" on an Oor (Dutch musicmagazine) cd and I was like WOAH, this is TOTALLY different from any chart song (yes I was one of those
)!!! This goes on for 9 minutes and it has some REALLY cool changes in it!
Well and then I immediately bought Snivilisation (my local record store is crap and didn't have anything else by Orbital). It changed my life. The first half of that album is genious. Orbital's melodies are godlike. Forever has such a great build-up, it gives me chills. Followed by "I Wish I Had Duck Feet" and then... Sad But True... gorgious.
My local LIBARY did have other Orbital releases though, so I borrowed In Sides (and The Orb's U.F.Orb). It was very good, but only a few years later when I bought it, I REALLY understood the music and I still do. It is MAGNIFICANT. In Sides is in my album top 10 because it's LOOOOONG and it DOESN'T bore. It's one of those albums with melodies you've always wanted to hear... Orbital does it.
The Girl With The Sun In Her Head is seriously in my top 3 of best songs of all time (number one is Juanita by Underworld, number 3 is "Neon Ray" by Lunatic Calm).
I thank Orbital for their music. It's something never to forget.
