Oribital are commercial pop electronica anyway.... Only "In Sides" was a
really great album from them - anything else was just useless crap. Please
note that I did not see them on MTV (I simply don't have such option in my
country).I do not like them because they are making music for masses not for
themselves in the first place.... Though in "In Sides" they've shown what
they're really capable of... And then decided to switch to normal money
making music. Alas, they lost it and never seem to find it until now.
Certainly it is only my humble opinion...no offense

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.>
