Is it just me or are their last 2 albums shit? Im a huge orbital fan and I just got THE ALTOGETHER and the other band new one and I think theyre really bad. The old stuff was so kick ass up thru middle of nowhere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it's not just you... they are now truely shite.... a big pity as those first few albums were very coool... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I once considered them to be an essential listen. Now I don't even pay attention. Orbital II and In Sides are classic. Just focus on the positive and you'll be okay. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
GOo get their BACK TO MINE album...Fuckin classic pick of tracks...:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Best Album was Insides.... then Orbital II.... then MON (No-one seems to like this one... ?) What's the new one then? Works? Coz that's just old/new unreleased and single stuff......? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
orbital back to mine has one of my favourite tracks ever on it, i wonder if you can guess which one ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and would the first 4 albums be so good if the last 2 weren't so shite? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Halycon/On and On or whatever it's called is really great, especially the pretty part before the beats come in. It's beautiful. That's about the only Orbital I really like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes. Ophecks: yeah, Halcyon & On & On is awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I used to think orbital were brilliant[still do with there first 5 albums]but what happened,the altogether was shit,and even work[singles collection]is shit,frenetic is as cheesy as you can get.oh well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Middle Of Nowhere is excellent, but agreed, Altogether is pretty shitty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I must say im not thrilled with "THE ALTOGETHER".But they have written some brilliant stuff. "FOREVER","LUSH","IMPACT","THE GIRL WITH THE SUN IN HER HEAD","BELFAST" among some of my faves. So hopefully they will write some more brilliant stuff.I still think they are great for what they have done.Who knows?May be we will see a comeback or something. :-) |

And nobody mentioned 'snivilisation'? Can't get this off my stereo...}:> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I said their first 5 albums,including snivilisation,I love kein trink wasser,are we here? and attached,3 of their best songs [think I`ll put them on now] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Asche, I don't understand. You didn't like the Best Of but you liked all the other albums? The Altogether is undeniably their worst but I thought Meltdown, at least, was sweet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oops! sorry Mccabe! }:> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
work has crap versions of their classic songs.Meltdown is a good song,but the album is still not very good[cant remember the last time I put it on] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just listening to kein trink wasser,such an amazing song.anyone who hasnt heard it,download it now |
||||||||
|

Middle Of Nowhere is one of my favorite albums. I never bothered to check any of their other stuff cept for halcyon&on&on which is nice too.. oh and the track which is on the Pi soundtrack.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw them live last year though and they were wicked.. SATAN SATAN SATAN! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

No im saying i dont like The Altogether ( i like "meltdown" too) and i dontlike back to mine. |

Sean knocked one of them out with a drum machine. then he strangled the other with a cable. he killed them both. he told me this in my dreams |

a dream? |

if orbital would have continued their style for another 2 albums the critics and music scene would cuss them down, they had to change to stay different and give something new. who know,s it could have been a breath of fresh air, but it wasnt. meh |

snivilisation's great, though my version (are there different versions??) has the mix of "sad but new" that I DON'T like - how do I get the other one (without the obnoxious gurgling sound)? oh and In Sides is wonderful, gorgeous, beautiful, excellent. especially "The Girl With The Sun In Her Head" (brings me to tears most of the time I hear it) and "Adnan's" (reminds me that things are going to be OK.) |

First off, MoN was not a bad album by any reguards, and 2nd off The Alltogether wasn't completely bad because of disc 2. Your telling me you didn't like the songs of Disc 2? The reason why you probaly don't like their recent stuff is because the fact that they move on after every album. Meaning they change their sound every time. That's what's so great with Orbital. They can change their style so many different times and yet still make it sound good. Though, I wish just once they'd go back and revist there In-Sides sound, but that will probaly never happen. Which is fine I suppose, because who knows where they'll go next. |

i'm with you guys, loved the first 5 albums (and ep's) and HATED the altogether. i really do not understand what happened, though i thought MON was a dip in quality from in sides. on an unrelated note, how different is the UK version of the debut album from the US version? i know it has the original speedfreak, what else? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just have 4 lps: green ............................ 9.5 brown ............................ 10 in the middle of nowhere.... 8 the altogether .................. 7 (this one is clearly the worst, but is not that bad... i mean it has some funny stuff) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
insides or snivilisation? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love MON what is wrong with you people altogether was disappointing for the fact that it had no flow between the tracks like the other albums snivilisation is my least fav |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
insides is classic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

MON was pretty lame and the Altogether was truly awful. I can appreciate them wanting to evolve rather than reproduce ten Chimes/Halcyons etc but their output now just sounds dated compared to what's coming out these days. Their stuff just sounds messy with too much going on. The beauty of older tracks like Halcyon etc is their simplicity/minimalism. I hope they return to form some day as I truly loved them. |
||||||||

MON is beautiful, and I think they were pointed in the right direction on that one. The Altogether is really the only shitty album. They've let punk rock spew all over it, hired David Grey to sing a really gay song [ no offense to homosexuals ;) ], and Waving not Drowning is absolutely disgusting. Even when I try to like it I don't. |
