I fucking love the way that 'Forever' transitions into 'I Wish I Had Duck Feet'!

This may just be my joint favourite Orbital album these days, alongside The Middle of Nowhere ... I'm listening to again now and it still hits my pleasure centre in the same way as I did when I first heard it.

I have played the first two tracks from this album (you're right about the transition) more than a thing else in their catalog, and that's saying something.

That moment roughly 9 or 10 minutes into 'Are We Here?' ...

“sad but true” is the greatest song of all time

picked up a copy of this on vinyl over Christmas, a bit of a score as you don't see them around too often. SBT is great but Kein Trink Wasser is even better

"are we here" covers so much ground in fifteen minutes, feels like a world unto itself

I know it's been mentioned in this thread but holding out until 2/3rds of the way through to drop the "main melody" is absolutely genius, I can't think of another track that manages to hold out quite like that one
nowadays I think "Attached" is the one that sends the most shivers down my spine. still sounds terrific even 25 (!!) years later

'Attached' might be my favourite these days

They really were unbeatable from Orbital 2 until The Middle of Nowhere. I listened to Snivilisation earlier cuz of this thread and I couldn't pick a highlight - it really is a strong listen end-to-end.

Reading back over this thread I was disappointed to see that no one picked up on my Orbital = Dali comparison.
