orbital

well...

I kinda think Orbital were a bit over-rated. And, I definitely gave them more than a fair chance.

I've bought: In-Sides, the Brown Album, the Blue album, the Alltogether (x2cd), Work, the Middle of Nowhere, their BTM mix, and I've even borrowed a copy of Snilivision

honestly - the only album of theirs that I found to be really solid was "In-Sides". Other than that - I only ever seem to like maybe 2 or 3 tracks max per album

but I will give them - those 2 or 3 tracks that I like, are usually extremely good.

Like, I mean - "Belfast" is simply an incredible song. You can't knock that track one bit. The same could be said for Halcyon... and so forth

i'd have to agree with JtL completely. in sides would be one of my top 5 albumns i think, but other than the brown albumn which is good for me but still has a few questionable songs i agree with the albumns being ok with a handful of amazing tracks.

but this is going to make me listen to in sides in my car today on way to work. that is exciting.

I just read today that there will be an Orbital release soon, but there are no other details...

My money is on live DVD (that would certainly be nice) or some sort of rare tracks/remixes release. We'll see.

live'd be great - they were a fucking fantastic live act

Never really cared for the song, but "Satan" live is one of my fondest concert memories.

To me Orbital has always been more beautiful than anything else.

I got real big into them 3 years ago...I remember being a pretty big fan right when the Blue Album came out and they split up

My favorite is Snivilisation...it's one of the most interesting techno albums I own. I will say that Orbital are prehaps the best in the world when it comes to writing techno hooks and that's why Sniv can be such an experimental album in some ways yet still be pretty accessible.

After that, there's In Sides, Orbital 2 and Middle of Nowhere...the other three albums are sort of sub-par (yet still have some great moments, like "Tension", "Satan", "Belfast", "You Lot", "Funny Break"...and so on). DO NOT get the "Work" compilation. Almost every song is shortened to a three minute single version which is ridiculous considering the scope of some of these tracks.
