Ya Orbital are great, chime has to be one of the best records. It is repetitious but as a great hypnotic quality. Satan and Belfast are also great works. Orbital will always command respect for there work.# But there musical direction is completely different from the APHEX TWIN, Boards of Canada,etc, there moving in more a main stream direction. |

Funny Break is possibly the worst thing they have done to date ( apart from The Saint which is atrocious ) . And probably the worst record i've heard this year . It's shite . |

velocity - surley emma bunton's 'what took tou so long?' is worse. i think there are other records that are alot worse than this. it is bearable. i have a smidgen of respect for the orbital brothers, but unfortunately there latest release 'funny breaks' was not what i expected and suggests that they are moving towards the mainstream side of things - which is not always a bad thing, but it is slightly different to thier earlier stuff. |

Orbital have always bean mainstream . That's what was so good about them . They got a lot of folk into electronic music that probably wouldn't have done . But the fact remains , it sound's like a shite ' papua new guinea ' . For a band that are continually recieve applause for being innovators in modern electronic music , i recommend that they start making innovative music instead of safely re-treading the past . 1992 to be exact . |

good point there Velocity. I liked orbital a fair bit until I heard Aphex for the first time, then I found their stuff to be quite average to be honest. I dont think theyre bad, ( now theyre no good IMO) but , yes, their earlier stuff made sense, but now its all watered down baloney IMO. I have to say the same for the Orb, I think Cydonia is very very 1992 rehashed, and even more mainstream sounding now. Not many of the 'old dudes' really have it any more IMO, I think most of em have run out of interesting ideas here in the year 2001. I now some of you will argue this point, but some of you might not have been into electronic music that long, so it all sort of sounds good now, but if you've heard ( such as in my case) all these guys's stuf since they released it from 1989 on, it can really sound plain boring if they come up with something too similar from those days. Nothing is more sad when artists or bands start rehashing such as most old rock acts a la Rolling Stones etc.... I'm starting to find the same thing happening to the Orb and Orbital ( as much as I liked them way back in the early 90's). Windlowlicker Ep might not be one of RDJ's best releases but it still sounded like nothing else he or anyone else had done before, (Windowlicker and Nannou) thats where he deserves credit and still stands alone amongst the old skool boys... And I highly doubt he would come up with something similar to Come to Daddy Ep or Richard D.James album if he were to release something now... |

Orbital blows unless seen live. The Orb is the greatest ambient/dub group ever! Never call Orbital the Orb. Sheesh |

i think there is much more new sound on Cydonia as the new Orbital crap. However I saw Orb on a show last week, and they did not want to push the new tracks at all. :-) All the classic stuff was played instead. Nice, huh? |

I always thought that an artists point of view is to create an image or sound for their liking. Who gives a fuck as to whether it's "bringing back 1992 style" The artists point has been made. |

Snivilisation is the greatest album ever, along with LP5 by AE. Orbital rock at what ever they do, whether it be dance like their early stuff, IDM like Sniv and In Sides, and now whatever weird thing they are doing now. |
