no love for the green album? kind of understandable but i still love it - probably because it was the first one i heard and it has that brilliant four track medley at the end: High Rise / Chime (Live) / Midnight / Belfast.

Whoa! Interesting. Really thought it would be in the bag for In Sides. Might listen to Out There Somewhere Pt 1 now and totally freak myself out again.

what would be the best album for someone who's only heard (and loved) Orbital 2 to get next?
― Ballistic, Saturday, 6 March 2010 20:19 (fourteen years ago) link
any of them except for The Altogether

HI DERE otm but I can't let an Orbital thread go by without mentioning that "In Sides" is super awesome A++++ so that seems a good pick for next

The Middle of Nowhere is closest in sound and spirit to that album but basically any of the three albums following Orbital 2 are equally great.

Yeah if Brown is really your thing go straight to Middle of Nowhere.

wth Snivilisation wuz robbed - The Saint OST, seriously?
― cee-oh-tee-tee, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 13:50 (thirteen years ago) link
I think Snivilisation is a lot of people's second or third favourite album but rarely their favourite?
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 16:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I mean it's 2/Brown by a landslide, I'm just saying Sniv is as-landslide the runner-up imobro.

The Saint OST, seriously?
Is that a ref to In Sides later releases having The Saint single tracks tacked on the end? Cause they shouldn't be there.
― ledge, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 20:05 (thirteen years ago) link
AFAIC that version of In Sides never existed

What genre is Lush 3-1 if you were being really strict about it?
― piscesx, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Most people would characterize it as Progressive House. It's just easier to call it techno though.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 20:46 (thirteen years ago) link
Mm okay yeah.
― piscesx, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 20:47 (thirteen years ago) link
bought "green" / "brown" / "in sides"
still making up my mind about them but having trouble seeing what made them so special in so many people's minds
― the late great, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 03:17 (eight years ago) link
is it that you think they're not better than stuff they're actually comparable to (e.g. for Brown Album i guess that would be... Spooky's Gargantuan?) or that that style generally is nothing special?
― Tim F, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 04:55 (eight years ago) link
Not sure where In Sides really fits into the context of history - 1996 was maybe the last year in which anyone could have made a symphonic home listening techno album with a straight face. It sort of triangulates Spanners, 76:14 and Spring Heel Jack.
