>There is a legitimate contrast between Orbital and, say, AFX. Orbital's >music is often (though not always) not as complex, and they don't really >"mess around" as much, not really taking as many chances. But despite >this, I believe they have something AFX doesn't have. We all know AFX's >purported attitude towards his music i don't >and frankly, it shows, brilliant >though it is. But there is somthing to be said for the "soul" of a >piece of music, and Orbital has it in spades. then how come i feel like smashing my stereo when i hear most orbital tracks? michael bolton puts emotion into his music. emotion means nothing at all, and i'm glad that you've got something worthwhile from orbital's music - but for a lot of us it is a heap of shit >They experiment enough to keep the music >interesting, and it's not like any of it would fit in on your local >hit-radio station i never heard anyting experimental in an orbital track myself, it is simply well-engineered feel-good simplistic rave music, which is played constantly on pop radio stations in britain. good luck to em i say, but it isn't fit to be placed alongside something with real atmosphere i wonder if many orbital fans buy transmat records cheerio! np - autobahn - kraftwerk
