Not at all in my case. I wish Orbital would do *more* tracks like "Forever" and "Attached" from Snivilisation. These two tracks are simply magnificent. The rest of the album just doesn't match the brilliance of these tracks for me. When I said I only liked half of Snivilisation I guess that wasn't really true...I like most of it. It just doesn't seem to (overall) match the brilliance of their previous work. Also a couple tracks on Snivilisation are throwaways (for me) and I'm not really used to that from Orbital. Tony
