It's very selfish to expect Orbital to keep making albums in the style of whichever one you like best. You're entitled to dislike The Box but don't slag it off because it's not like the stuff they did years ago. From the sounds of it, it seems Orbital have become big Portishead

How dare they use a Zither! Someone else made a record with one of those on it, so no one else can use one now or it means they're copying! I'm with Fresh on the male vocals though. I hope there's none of that on the album. Perhaps, Fresh, you should change your name to Reactionary ;) Cheers, Tompa ________________________________________________ Jonathan Thompson <jon.thompson@gda.app.ge.com> GDA Hotpoint Ltd Peterborough UK ________________________________________________
