Orbital - The Altogether

The Altogether by Orbital

Orbital is what I call creative Electronic music there is something for everyone to enjoy. I will say I was happy with the purchase for the electronic piece (Mock Tudor). It starts out church organ like, but breaks into a high energy beat keeping the church organ theme which was excellent. The music is high energy, but not necessarily dance music. You can be sitting and enjoy it just as well. November 25, 2007

Poorly defined songs

I really liked "Funny Break" and "Illuminate", lovely synth melodies and vocals. But didn't quite understand the rest of the album, and eventually got tired of it. The final impression I got is that the two brothers felt the same while recording most of it.
I strongly recommend the pre-middle of nowhere work (including it): Featuring Alison Goldfrapp on vocals. March 7, 2007

Listen for Yourself

And you will find a unique album that honors what orbital once was and what it has morphed into. Orbital has always been about experimentation, and everyone who complains about this album should remember that. I (being an American) didn't know who David Gray was until I heard "Illuminate". That song in particular comes out of nowhere and hits like a ton of bricks. It is truly unique, an 80s movie soundtrack sound with Gray's rock solid vocals, the result is amazing.

Listen for yourself. I give them credit for experimenting, and I think they pulled it off.
