Yet, instead of catering to the curious, they presented their most self-indulgent album to date with In Sides. Packaging the 24-minute symphonic track "Out There Somewhere?" with the loopy psychedelic flight of "P.E.T.R.O.L.," they created a most unusual and intriguing collection. Despite their best efforts, though, "The Box" still packed the same insistent rhythm that made "Belfast" such an indelible club staple, while a bonus disc featured live versions of "Satan," "Halcyon," and the duo's streamlined themes from The Saint. --Aidin Vaziri Amazon.com: The Hartnoll brothers remain the great hope of ambient techno--sleeker, smarter, and way more dynamic than the rest. The duo's third full-length disc is a sonically splendid variant Snivilisation (1994). --Jeff Bateman Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of my top ten albums...EVERI almost despise techno. If fact, I do. I don't have any smarmy philosophies as to why-when I listen to it, I cringe. I guess it brings me back to the time I decided to eat an incredibly powerful sugarcube at a rave headlined by Josh Wink. It wasn't the raver kids, it wasn't because I feel that techno DJs have little to no talent nor was it that I consider neo-hippie douche bag scenesters late 90's fist-magnets...wait, yes it was. It was a time in history best forgotten. Hair gel was your only ...

Rating: - Music You Can TasteAt the risk of having my reviewer rank dropping (as if I really care that much) for having a completely non-empirical review, I have to say that this CD set is the heart of a musical movement. I usually try to be analytical when reviewing something, but this goes past my ability to do so. This CD has a beautifully blended combination of highs, lows, pitch, pace, treble, and bass. When I listen to the first CD in the dark, it makes me wish that I was synaesthetic...and indeed does make my ...

Read More Rating: - The cover art is a fitting gateway into the surreal funBy this time, the Brothers Hartnoll who make up Orbital had matured to take on serious environmental themes (references to dirty water and solar power abound). Trademarks like reversed female vocals and unconventional sounds alongside more cliched ones (like TR-808 drums) had been refined to high levels, and so onwards, they adventured. Some of the tracks are still too long for my tastes: they work well if you're zoning out, but if you're paying attention to changes, you'll need to be patient. ... Read More
