I've always been a big fan of Orbital, but I'll tell you one thing that really annoyed me. Forget the whole MTV vs. underground thing. The pure fact that they recorded a track with overlaying vocals from Leonardo DiCaprio just made my stomach turn. I really wish they had thought harder before coming out with The Beach. Hopefully the forthcoming album will help redeem themselves.

<If there's one thing that annoys me, it's those people who hate Orbital simply because they've appeared on MTV. That's how the anti-Orbital argument always starts -- mention MTV first, as if some sort of commercial profile is indicative of a lack of artistic integrity, *THEN* get around to criticising their music (albeit in a unconvincing fashion). If Orbital ain't your cup of tea, then that's fine -- but don't
pretend to hate them just because they're not as "underground" as other IDM artists you like.>
