my post was a little extreme but you've gone round the bend
and why would you replace it with a track the worst track from in sides
that's true but it's essentially the same track as Crash and Carry, but better

as a drummer all the tiny snare rolls in "sad but true" give me a visceral thrill

This album provided substantial levity and brightness to my days in high school, when little else did. Even now, it still acts as an emotional salve when I put it on.

really opened the doors for me to realize what electronic music was capable of. I still very vividly remember driving down the highway at the age of 17 and when "I Wish I Had Duck Feet" came on and it just blew my mind. nowadays its all about the last 2 tracks for me but obviously the whole thing is very much classic. crazy they haven't repressed it yet!!

It really is such a good album.
I'm curious as to what (if any) external sources what feels like such a leap forward from the Brown Album in terms of production and sound design. Snivilisation feels like such an archetypally mid-90s electronic album to me (in the sense of Bjork's Post) but it's hard to think of anything that pre-dated it that might have provided the template for it except in fairly loose or sparing senses (A Guy Called Gerald and other early jungle for "Are We Here?" for example). Though I suspect they listened to the first two Black Dog albums a bit.

Rapidly heading towards being 30 years old. Holy shit.

man how did they come up with this stuff. like "Are We Here?" dropping the main hook 10 minutes into the track, completely turning it from this crazy jungle build up to what sounds like an actual pop single, without really losing any of the stuff from the first part. that's such a cool way of thinking of a 15 minute epic.

my favorite song of theirs I think

the first version I ever heard was the "They Did It" remix

just like the original post, i was not ready to hear this album at the time. always thought InSides and the brown album were masterpieces; but this never caught on with me. and it is kinda of like an awkward in between album - but also very good. can't believe i didn't realize it's brilliance until 25 years later.

At least where I grew up, I remember hearing Are We Hear in DJ sets but *just* the early bits. I was extremely confused when I later saw the video for it and it was practically a different song.
I agree with the favorite song of theirs bit tho.

Kein Trink Wasser is my favourite Orbital track

I rank In Sides over it but I think it’s their 2nd-best album
― castanuts (DJP), Thursday, 13 April 2023 14:30 (one year ago) link
yeah I agree with that, here's how I break it down to an extent
In Sides > Snivilisation > Brown > Green > Middle of Nowhere > others
