It just seems like the guys found a CD full of samples they'd never used before, and proceeded to throw them together in a big pile of crap. What the hell were they thinking 'remixing' a Tool song? Yee Gods, that's one of the worst tracks I've heard in eons. Middle of Nowhere was a masterpiece in comparison, and Orbital now have a new worst album (old title going to Snivilization, which I do really like, but it IS/WAS Orbital's worst) - Dan J. -----Original Message----- From: Mark [mailto:mef@ecst.csuchico.edu] Sent: May 3, 2001 5:40 PM To: Rob Salit Cc: idm@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: [idm] Orbital - The Altogether I hear you on this. This album is complete trash. I really enjoyed Middle of Nowhere, and was hoping for an even better progression from these guys, but they decided to take a right hand turn into the alleyway of no-talent. For any Orbital fans on the list, do NOT buy this record. Ugh. -mark Rob Salit wrote:
