Yes.
Orbital 2 (Brown Album) - 1993
Snivilization -1994
In Sides -1996

These are their masterpieces, imho, and from the looks of the old Loopz forum, many others as well (though that's like sampling the UW forum in terms of dedication and obsession!). i agree that the others have more filler vs. killer. Orbital 1 (green album) is mostly a collection of singles and has various tracklists, so it's a bit harder to consider a unified whole (plus sounding quite dated in spots). I'd say that "Middle Of Nowhere" in 1999 was still quite solid (i, for one, can listen to it throughout, no skips). The last two, "The Altogether" (2001) and Blue Album (2004) are acquired tastes, and the case could be made that quality did drop post-In Sides.
