gee, i thought insides was really quite lame, with maybe one or two listenable tracks. if you want a MUCH better album (and i do mean album, as in "set of tracks that work together to take you somewhere") that is at least somewhat stylistically related to orbital, check out Everest by Off And Gone. to my mind, this is what orbital could be if they had a much better grasp of melody and sound design.

since everybody needs to get their 2 cents in on this one, my ordering would be: snivilisation, orbital 1, insides, orbital 2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Drukman jsd@cyborganic.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
