Orbital - In Sides (1996)

I know a bit old, but just magic:

Disc 1
1-1 The Girl With The Sun In Her Head (10:26)
1-2 P.E.T.R.O.L. (6:17)
1-3 The Box (Part I) (6:28)
1-4 The Box (Part II) (5:58)
1-5 Dŵr Budr (9:56)
1-6 Adnan's (8:41)
1-7 Out There Somewhere? (Part I) (10:42)
1-8 Out There Somewhere? (Part II) (13:26)

Disc 2
2-1 Times Fly (Slow) (7:58)
2-2 Sad But New (7:29) Vocals - Alison Goldfrapp
2-3 Times Fly (Fast) (7:53)
2-4 The Tranquilizer (6:27)
2-5 The Box (28:11) <-- Feels like you are watching a movie!

I think that "The Girl With The Sun In Her Head" really sets the tone for this album: mysterious, warm, playful, diverse. Listening to it just puts a smile on my face while tripping me out.

Obviously everybody remembers "The Box (Part 2)", but I just love the number of versions they did, plus the second disc has a 28min version, which sounds like a mini set, but its one fantastic song.

"Tranquilizer" seems to really define that early EDM sound that I crave. Lots of high pitched bleeps, beeps, and dings to satisfy any techy. The breakbeats with nice soothing tones in the background, together with the beeps really seem to come together and make you want to dance.

I picked this up recently, and I have just been so happy with it.

Awesome.

Snivilisation (and other earlier stuff) is also tops.

Is that a song or album?

The reason i posted a review of such an old album is because I've been slowly going through and listening to old school artist albums.

I started this thread a while ago, to find out more stuff to check out. Its a gold mine!

I know soooo many gems in there.

I was hoping people would add more, but the thread sort of fizzled out. If you can add, please do!
