>> i never heard anyting experimental in an orbital track myself >They sounded pretty experimental to me when I bought their green album >when it was first released (1991?) it didn't to me because i was checking out dj pierre, trax records and detroit techno 5 years earlier >Nowadays they may not sound that >way... the same way a Kraftwerk album doesn't sound very innovative if >you pretend that it was created in 1997 instead of 1978. doesn't it? DOES TO ME. ralf and florian is completely innovative even now and it's 25 years old, and as for the rest, well if only people were making music that original today. >> it is simply well-engineered feel-good simplistic rave music... >"Well-engineered", "feel-good" and "simplistic" don't preclude something >from being fresh or innovative. i didn't say it couldn't be, and i don't want to carry on putting down orbital because they are really on a different tip for the reason i outlined above, basically orbital do happy fluffy music, and that is half the reason i don't get into it, the other half being their production techniques cheerio! np - the groove - global communication
