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.

six months pass...

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.

AFAIC that version of In Sides never existed

and by "Heavens!" i mean WATERFALLS OF BIDDY (HI DERE), Tuesday, 14 September 2010 20:06 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

Mm okay yeah.

five years pass...

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?

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.
