yeah i for one love(d) orbital, first thing i got was snivelisation which
apparently was their big break in the US and that was pre internet. i
think in-sides stands out for me as the best, i got both versions of the
double-cd. i also really like the brown and green albums as well, almost
all absolute top notch tracks. i could definitely see Orbital as
braindance, its certainly lovely groovy cool music.
i kind of lost interest slowly tho on the stuff after in-sides, they have
had good tracks here and there but it just seemed a lot less inspired than
previously, probably they stopped doing drugs or something (ha)
