For a first album after a long period Give me a break. I don't like the album as much as II, isn't that good enough? I'm well aware of Orbitals appearance at Ravestock, I've even seen them play live before and talked at length to them. What's that got to do with my liking the CD? I don't hate it, I just don't think it's anywhere as solid as II. 80% of the music I listen to is beatless. Orbital makes GREAT dance music. I wanted a CD of beats and I didn't get it. Is that so hard to understand? BTW, the female vocals on track 9 (no, it's not Bjork) are REALLY good. -- Brian Hostetler http://sparrow.bio.indiana.edu/brian/me '...most of it is radical hip drug culture overload.
