Orbital - Never (incl mp3 link)
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/12678-never/

Just saw that there is some new stuff from Orbital. I'm sure some will give it the collective 'meh' but there may be others who like it.

I'll give it some time to sink in.

Re: Orbital - Never (incl mp3 link)
The first minute seemed very Casiotone, but then, Orbital always sort have sounded that way, analog with heart.
Around 2:15 and through to the end, it's got some bite and beats. Like it. Closer in feel to 90's Orbital, but not the aggro excess or weird experiments/cheekiness of latter albums or even last year's double A-Side "Don't Stop Me/The Gun is Good" (which seemed forced, imho).

Looking forward to this record for certain!

agree with holden. the first 2:15 or so is a bit meh, but then it kicks in and its a decent tune. video is cool too.

Very odd feeling watching the video and recognising almost all the roads from my time in East London/Essex.

Re: Orbital - Never (incl mp3 link)
like it - more reminiscent of early albums where less is more. streets ahead of that 'gun is good' bollocks. no pun intended. there's a nice warmth about it, which is a classic orbital feel.

great they're not resorting to terrible collaborations in search of inspiration. maybe uw should take a decent sabatical?!

Re: Orbital - Never (incl mp3 link)
THis reminds me of there track 'Style' the way it gives an almost cheesy sound to build into an anthem. However im finding the first 2mins a thing of beauty.This is the right direction
