Merely the mention of their name does that....

Well I love Orbital but would say without any hesitation that 'The Saint' is their worst work. Have you heard the b-side, though, 'The Sinner'. Now that's more like it. I think they've got sick of years of relatively little recognition outside of their own sphere so they now want to become well known.

I can't see how Orbital could be described as a pop act before 'The Saint'. Any tracks in particular that you'd call pop (other than 'The Saint')? Jon np: Funk D'Void 'Kincho' - Jon Green zcapn33@ucl.ac.uk They're back: "F**k the Millenium" see http://www.2k.org.uk
