now this is what i call music, this is one of orbitals best work to date.
very nice sound and some of the best tracks i have ever heard like out there somewhere.
one of the tracks is about a town not that far from where i live "milford haven" in pembrokeshire in wales.
orbital rock.

Arguably the best Orbital album perhaps because it is the most musical and most complex. While this album relies and the standard "loops and layers" approach employed by Orbital on all of their albums, this one is not weighed down by the addition of unnecessary vocalists like their later albums - the music is left to stand on it's own. The 2 part compositions "The Box" and "Out There Somewhere?" are the standouts for me. Like other reviewers, I'd have to agree that of all my electronica CD's, this one gets the most play.

This might actually be the album in my record collection I have played the most in my life! When this was released, it absolutely blew me away. From the day I heard this, there was absolutely no way back from electronic music. I remember the first time I heard it was in a car, driving high in some Norwegian mountains in spring. An album that gives me more nostalgic memories than any other record I own. An absolute masterpiece from beginning to end. When I first time heard "The Girl With The Sun In Her Head" live with the Hartnoll brothers on stage, it gave me tears of happiness... An album I will continue listen to until I pass away... Recommended!
The use of the Welsh phrase for "dirty water" as a track title provides a thematic link back to their previous album "Snivilisation" where one of the tracks was titled "Kein Trink Wasser" - German for "non-drinking water".
Yeah, the title of the fifth track means "dirty water" in Welsh. It's a reference to a major oil spill off the south-west coast of Wales - a tanker called the Sea Empress was wrecked there in 1996.
