Out There Somewhere Part 2

My most played Orbital album to date. Thats not to say that it is the most complete Orbital. I would probably rate Snivilization and Orbital 2 as more complete albums. My main gripe is possibly the length of the album and the lack of memorable tracks.

However, with that said, I will say this... Out There Somewhere Part 2 is quite possibly the best track Orbital has produced to date. An amazing ending to the album with interlaced loops that work perfectly. The last 5 and a half minutes to the track are Orbital at their best. Oddly enough it sits in one of my least favorite Orbital albums. The track along with Adnan's and the Box part 2 simply saves the album from sub-par status. The bonus CD is not memorable.

Should you buy the album, yes but simply for the above mentioned tracks (In my opinion they are worth it). If you want to hear Orbital on all cylindars, listen to Track 8, you won't be disappointed.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the earlier versions of the album came with a 28 minute version of the Box on the bonus CD. Great track, good luck locating that rare bonus CD. April 7, 2007

Simply the best

With In-Sides Orbital proved that they matured as a band... From catchy loops and experimenting with synth just for the sake of experimenting they grew to the point that they were able to express themselves musicaly. One hint is that In-Sides contains longer duration pieces, like somehow Orbital got tired with haiku music and wanted to prove that they can compose, start and finish a comprehensive track. Never before or after Orbital was able to achieve that perfect balance between form and substance. Needless to say this is my favorite album, not only of Orbital but of all techno/electronica artists. It is simply more musical than mechanical which is seldom a case with techno music...

It's OK

This is the best Orbital album. I used to like them, but now realize I don't really like them anymore. Good everyso often, but my tastes have changed. January 3, 2007

Everyone talks about The Box, but for my money...

'Adnan's' alone is worth more than whatever this CD is selling for. Of course as a bonus you can have The Box, and the 2nd/bonus disc too! Pure hypnotic genius. A must have! December 1, 2006
