The Orbital Appreciation Thread

[stimpee]

Its easier for me to list the tracks that I dont like from each album because I like 90% of Orbital's output. However, this thread has caused me to listen to the whole of Snivilisation today. A vastly underrated album which has a far more subtle layered approach and makes use of samples far more than their other albums. The only tracks that don't really do it for me are Quality Seconds and Philosophy By Numbers. The rest are just amazing.

The building layers of Kein Trink Wasser are just brain orgasm. The way Crash n Carry gets more hurried until the last 45 secs are just mayhem and push you to crank the volume up. Forever and I Wish I had Duck Feet are marvellous works of out there electronic mastery. While I prefer some of the remixes of Are We Here? to the one on the album (album version is a little long though i prefer the second half when the song breaks down and the new melody+goldfrapp vocal comes in), its still a great song and the sound really whips around the speakers, even better on headphones. Attached is just hypnotic. Before you know it, its over and youre left wanting more.
