I got it for my mum for Christmas. I, of course, borrowed it for a couple days afterwards, and I was pleased with it. There are some dark and gritty beaty bits in it, but mostly it's symphonic ambience. To be honest, it didn't sound all that Orbitalish to me. Orbital makes me think of light and tinny music, mostly because of the top heavy nature of In Sides.

Absolutely disturbing. It made me want to run off to church and beg to be absolved of all my sins. Dan

Though I only heard it once over at a friend's place, I thought it was more in the "In Sides" vein ... some of it was rather ambient too. I liked it. It's not their best work though, imho.

Y'know, as much as people really didn't care much for it, I thought it scared the shit out of me. And for that, I give it thumbs up. (Speaking as a horror movie buff). It's a gross movie, but from a "Did it horrify you like a horror movie should?" standpoint, I really liked it. Though I feel sorry for SciFi fans that didn't know it was a horror movie that lost their lunch halfway through. -Stu
