They sounded pretty experimental to me when I bought their green album when it was first released (1991?). Nowadays they may not sound that way... the same way a Kraftwerk album doesn't sound very innovative if you pretend that it was created in 1997 instead of 1978.

"Well-engineered", "feel-good" and "simplistic" don't preclude something from being fresh or innovative. (FYI, I have lost interest in Orbital since the Brown album though. I'm not sure why, and don't know if it has anything to do with lack of innovation. I know that I have always enjoyed Hardfloor - even though I can spot their formulaic sound a mile-off.) -- Q-Force qforce@holon.net http://www.holon.net/qforce/
