Great band. Any fans?

The Brown Album, Snivilisation and In Sides are all excellent. My favourite at the moment being Snivilisation.

I like Orbital a lot. They've made some of my all-time favourite house/techno tracks. I listen to ambient about 99% of the time, but if I want something more uptempto I'll usually go for Orbital.

My fave tracks (in order :) ) are:

1. Lush
2. Belfast
3. Midnight
4. Remind
5. Halcyon

The video for Lush is strangely moving. I think it's still on youtube.

Btw, if you like Orbital (esp. the first two albums) I think you'd like 'Accelerator' by the Future Sound of London.

I haven't heard that one yet, but I loved Lifeforms.

I loved Lifeforms. Accelerator is more uptempo, more similar to Orbital

My fave songs on Accelerator IMHO are:
Pulse State ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0RI8L6e7Y0 ), Calcium ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4iyPMWOZkY ) and, of course, Papua New Guinea ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCoCTkC0oL0 )

Here's the Orbital 'Lush' video btw :)

I love Orbital. Turning off Lambchop right now to listen to them. Thank you for the reminder. Snivilisation changed my life. Somewhat. :wink:

Okay, the blues are cute.
Yeah, I'm just getting into Lambchop, I decided to research my favorite Morcheeba song, sad I waited this long. But damn, I really like it.

Admittedly the only album of theirs I've heard is I Hope You're Sitting Down, their first one. I highly recommend it in case you haven't already heard it.

Yeah, I'm between good music download sites, so I'm using a friend's library, and he has that one and "Damaged" (2006)

I like both equally, so far. I particularly like"The Decline Of Country and Western Civilization" Kurt Wagner is just a fascinating vocalist.
