Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: Snivilisation is one of Orbital's most accomplished works. Partially consisting of experimental loop-oriented progressions and clamorous noise fills, other dominant tracks also purvey elements of drifting "technotic" bliss. The appearance of guest vocalist Allison Goldfrapp, who sang on Tricky's Maxinquaye album, adds to the appeal of two tracks. As audiences succumbed to the electronic symbiosis generated by Orbital's mystique, the group's political outlook became realized on bold tracks like "Are We Here." The track rallied rave culture as it scorned austere governmental policies which descended upon England's electronic masses. Combined with traces of Eastern-oriented influence, the album further heralds Orbital's outward affiliations applied within their technology-driven platforms. --Lucas Hilbert

This is a classic album. It's my favorite album by Orbital. I loved this album when I was more into electronic music years ago... But I still enjoy Snivilisation from time to time. It's stood up pretty well. Read the spotlighted review "Spoiled by Orbital" that I complemented in the comments section. I listened to this album while riding out of Death Valley not too long ago.

Unfortunately, I can't give this one a full 5 stars, I save the 5 star review for the stuff that really is the best there is. This is a great CD in it's own right, great to just put on for background music, but really appreciated when you listen to it with headphones and can hear everything. If you're collecting Orbital stuff, put this one high up on the list.

This album was worth the purchase for just the (Forever) piece, but the rest of the album is worth listening to.

I must be missing something because I don't like the two Orbital albums that I own. I was snaked into buying Orbital because I have some compilation albums each with a good track of Orbital thrown in. I thought I was going to get more of that kind of sound, like Halcyon. But I was denied. Nothing on this or The Middle Of Nowhere stands out to me as being good.

This is a materpiece! Orbital are so great! FOREVER is so out of this world. Sound futuristic to me. One of the best things Orbital has ever done. BUY IT NOW!
