Orbital - Snivilisation

Snivilisation is one of Orbital's most accomplished works. Partially consisting of experimental loop-oriented progressions and clamorous noise fills, other dominant tracks also purvey elements of drifting "technotic" bliss. The appearance of guest vocalist Allison Goldfrapp, who sang on Tricky's Maxinquaye album, adds to the appeal of two tracks. As audiences succumbed to the electronic symbiosis generated by Orbital's mystique, the group's political outlook became realized on bold tracks like "Are We Here." The track rallied rave culture as it scorned austere governmental policies which descended upon England's electronic masses. Combined with traces of Eastern-oriented influence, the album further heralds Orbital's outward affiliations applied within their technology-driven platforms. --Lucas Hilbert Amazon.com

Great Orbital CD

Unfortunately, I can't give this one a full 5 stars, I save the 5 star review for the stuff that really is the best there is. This is a great CD in it's own right, great to just put on for background music, but really appreciated when you listen to it with headphones and can hear everything. If you're collecting Orbital stuff, put this one high up on the list. November 26, 2007

Snivilisation by Orbital

This album was worth the purchase for just the (Forever) piece, but the rest of the album is worth listening to. November 25, 2007

I Must Be Missing Something

I must be missing something because I don't like the two Orbital albums that I own. I was snaked into buying Orbital because I have some compilation albums each with a good track of Orbital thrown in. I thought I was going to get more of that kind of sound, like Halcyon. But I was denied. Nothing on this or The Middle Of Nowhere stands out to me as being good. August 5, 2005

MIND BLOWING

This is a materpiece! Orbital are so great! FOREVER is so out of this world. Sound futuristic to me. One of the best things Orbital has ever done. BUY IT NOW! May 8, 2004

Great. Gets better the more I listen.

This one really grew on me but at first I was a little disappointed because I was comparing it to 'In Sides' which I just love, so based on other reviews this was my second Orbital album. `Forever' and `Are We Here', among others, are great tracks, you can listen to them over and over. Overall I give it 4 out of 5. It is definitely a good CD to have in your collection. January 22, 2004
