Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. =) I don't think I'd characterize Orbital's 'satan' track "limp tarted up disco", and I'm not necessarily a fan of everything Orbital has ever done. For "limp tarted up disco music" music look at 90% of the "dance" music covered in the Musik and the various DJ magazines. These magazines generally have some of the worst taste in dance music. I guess it's what's popular in the dance community though, so whatever. Maybe I'm a limp, tarted up disco fan for liking the Satan track....oh well, time to listen to my WHITEHOUSE records I guess - the ultimate tarted up disco music! =) T.
