Orbital's In Sides wins big with me precisely because they work hard
at making pieces of music that go somewhere. Drop all your attitude
and preconceptions, and LISTEN again, check the layers, development
and humanity of their work, then come to me complaining about MTV.
Orbital wins big in being something even people who don't like
electronica actually recognize as being music.
My mom, whose composed music the hard way (with pencil and paper) all
her adult life loves "The Box."
They also win big for being homely regular guys when they take the
flashlight glasses off. Gives us homely regular guys hope in life.
ON NOW: Grado SR60's, rocking to Assembled 19. Grado Headphones are
the shit. Believe that.
