It might well be crap,Shopping was, can't blame Orbital for that though.

I guess it's a fairly melodic thing (havn't heard it yet myself), but
Chime turned out to be commercial, as did Satan in the UK ! (several
years later....) Horribly......errrr....catchy ? errrr.......fun ?

and the horrendously funny Mortal Combat, now that was a shock. I think
Orbital just do whatever they want, if they should make a tune that
might be considered commercial now and again, so what ? I think the
intention is the main thing, from what I can pick up about them they
seem quite anti-corporate because they have in the past been frustrated
by lack of artistic control over their work. If they just wanted the
money there would be Orbital plastic dolls in your local shop by now !
Just my opinion ! ;)
