Customer Reviews

Like Orbital meets Ennio Morricone (with some vocals)
Cards on the table - I love Orbital, I've grown up with them from "Chime" onwards. I was a bit worried about what this would be like.
It's quite mellow and most tracks have vocals. There's only one track that I sometimes skip, all the rest are excellent, some of them really beautiful. It's not Orbital, there's only one track that sounds a bit like the Orbital of old, but that's not a bad thing.
My only complaint (a minor one) is that there are only 9 tracks and it's only 40 minutes long.
Track 1 is "Haven't We Met Before?" and is a beautiful electronic track with lots of orchestral atmosphere.
Track 2 is "For Silence" and is a lovely vocal track with soaring strings, my favourite vocal track on the album.
Track 7 is "Patchwork Guilt" and is the hardest and most Orbital-like track on here.
Have a listen to previews of the three tracks above - if you don't like any of them you probably shouldn't be buying the album.

ORBITAL BROTHER PULLS AT THE HEARTSTRINGS IN A MAGNIFICIENT WAY!...A REAL SUPRISE AND AN INCREDIBLE MEISTERWORK.
Seeing as orbital probably wont be getting back together in a hurry- they're brothers, and possibly to maintain some sanity/resepct/love after nearly 15 years composing together, they headed off in different directions.- this was a REAL SURPRISE for me. I read the inlay notes and was expecting a load of live orchestration without beats, but....UNBELIEVABLE is the only word that struck me.

The acid test for me is always the "jaw drop" moment, and maybe knowing that orbital as an entity probably wont ever exist again, 30 seconds into the first track, i sat there with my mouth open like a child.

I have to agree with one other reviewer here, in that it almost seems to be better than anything orbital have ever released. There are many moments here which really hit my soul and get me goosey. Like the first track, the last one, patchwork.... In fact the whole album. Even IGGRO which initially seems to jar, fits in with the modus operandi of the album. In fact, i sequence my own compositional works the same way when giving them to dj's and for soundtrack work etc; the idea is the listener WONT WANT TO take it off UNTIL ITS FINISHED :-D

A tremendous achievement and such a welcome and refreshing mixture of relief, amazement, and respect. I'd love to work with paul hartnoll..

Superb
Superb album , 'Patchwork guilt' is a lesson to all how to make electronica however i dont think 'Aggro' should of been put on the
album it really upsets the flow.
