Merely the mention of their name does that....

Well I love Orbital but would say without any hesitation that 'The Saint'
is their worst work. Have you heard the b-side, though, 'The Sinner'. Now
that's more like it. I think they've got sick of years of relatively little
recognition outside of their own sphere so they now want to become well
known.

I can't see how Orbital could be described as a pop act before 'The Saint'.
Any tracks in particular that you'd call pop (other than 'The Saint')?

np: Funk D'Void 'Kincho'
