I seem to be in the minority, but _Snivilisation_ is my favorite Orbital album. Favorite -release- would probably be the Radiccio EP (aka Halcyon), which is obviously similar to the "brown album" (beloved by everyone) but wins for the strength of the material, a concise length, and that it also works as a pretty coherent whole. I did not care much for "The Box". Lost it on the harpsichord. I would have hoped Orbital operated on a higher level than to use a synth or sampler for a blasted -harpsichord- patch... However I did appreciate the percussion arrangement. --Mark
