Is this album any good? I absolutely love Orbital from what I've heard, and that's a nice bit... but I haven't heard anything from this album, but I've read a lot of shining reviews... I think I'm gonna try and hunt this one down next, but is it any good? |

yep you do love Orbital:) "forever", "science friction" and "attached" are like the mellower tracks on ICBYD.... generally its a bit more laid back than the more thumping "brown" album . "Are we here " is good but the remix 12" has better mixes than the LP version. All in all, its about on-par with "in-sides" but lacks the punch of "Brown". Far better than their most recent efforts, which , when you've been into Orbital since 1990 like me , show no progression or imagination. buy it :0) |

yes yes yes yes, I love Orbital... they're one of my favorite electronic groups... I plan on getting all their albums, but yes, I think I'll get this one next... or try to anyways... :) |

a very good idea,Funkmaster! |

and the picture on the front cover is interesting. they like playing on words (thier song titles) and imagery. Which is a sign of a kind of playful anarchy IMO. Bit like aphex. I don't think they take themselves 2 seriously, as , say , Moby .... or ...hmm.. dare I say... BOC? |

orbital's amazing, that's all there is to it, although i was disapointed with their new album....i wish they would go back to their original style. |

Yeah, I was dissapointed with Disc 1 on The Alltogether, but then I think that it's a good thing. I mean, I'm glad Orbital is trying new things on all their albums, and not making repetive albums after another, that's the great thing about them. As for Snivilization, yes it's pretty good. My favorite track is 'Forever.' I would suggest getting if I were you. |

I need that one and the Brown album, and I'll have the big four I guess... well, the big three at least... whatever... :) |
||||||||

|
|
first 4 albums everyone should own next 2 are weak last couple of remixes of funny break & Illuminate have been excellent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, my big four included the brown album through to middle of nowhere... but then I said three cause middle of nowhere is kinda hit and miss for a lot of people it seems... I like it though, but it's not close to being as good as In Sides I don't think... |

|
the box EP and times fly are well trippy. and the peel sessions EP is also excellent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are we here is one of my favorite songs, hands down. i can't imagine the remixes being much better, so i guess i'll have to track them down. (mmm... good music to look forward too.) i've only got snivilization, times fly ep, and the brown album but i love snivilization almost all the way through. kind of interesting that most hardcore orbital fans don't like it much... is it that much of a change from... the yellow album, insides, or middle of nowhere? |
||||||||
|

|
|
I only own In Sides and Middle of Nowhere... I love In Sides, and Middle of Nowhere is pretty damn good... but it's more dancy... and can get tiring I already find... |
||||||||

My best friend has snivilization and he says it sucks. The only bad orbital, in his opinion. I haven't listened to it yet...probably should. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Snivilization is a great album IMHO. I don't like 'Middle of Nowhere', for me it was the disappointment of the year.... |
||||||||
|
|

|
Snivilization is a good album. Not their best, but by no means their worst. Its prolly their third best, IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's their second best album (In Sides), if not their best. there are so many great tracks on it; Forever, Science Friction, I Wish I Was A Duck (not sure of the title), Sad But True, Crash And Carry....and it goes on and on...9/10 Do yourself a favour and BUY IT!!! |

"Snivilisation" is never off my stereo. Everyone needs it. GO GET IT! }:> |

all albums before "in sides" are classic and "in sides" is a masterpiece with no analoge in the histiry of electronic music, i think. I hoped orbital were trying to release the pressure after "in sides" with the next two albums, cause i didn't like them a lot. but i've just read in their official site that they're going to release a "retrospective collection '89-'02" with only one new track on it... ? i hope this doesn't mean what those kinda things usually mean - "we have nothing more to say, we have no more ideas, so we should make some money with our old stuff, cause it's great..." |

Brown album is AWESOME! it changed my life back in 93 and got me into the whole electronic music / techno thang but back then Orbital were probably considered more techno than electronica, that's why so many people were disappointed by Snivilisation as it wasn't very upbeat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I looked at the track listing for that album, and it's stupid... they have songs like The Box, and I think even The Girl With The Sun In Her Head shortened down to like 3 or 4 minutes... what's the sense in doing that? It's stupid... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and well, if Snivilization is less upbeat, I should like it methinks... I do like most of there dancier stuff, but I'm more fond of more laid back music, like BoC and stuff... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Illuiminate is a great track on their new album... good ol' ultra catchy melody just like the old days... who remembers chime on top of the pops? |
