Orbital 2

Perhaps valuable in its own right, but not my thing and very odd.

Impossible escoltar-lo sencer a casa posant-hi atenció. M'avorreix.

I always get Orbital confused with The Orb and William Orbit. Not just for the obvious reason - that their names are so similar but also because their brand of electronic trance music all sounds painfully the same. I present Exhibit one - this album by Orbital. Maybe if I was at a rave taking ecstasy it might be more interesting, but I am sitting in my living room utterly bored.

Very early 90s. Very shit

This site has taught me that I just don’t like electronic music 🤷‍♂️

Just feels very empty. Don’t care for techno music and definitely not a fan of 1 hour straight. Just as you finish a song you think it’s q gonna get better; it always remains the same boring level which I’m not about.

The album opens with a weird intro track where the line “when time becomes a loop” is repeated for a whole minute it’s a great use of sampling but it really drags on the theme of time is carried on in the next song planet of the shapes with the line “even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day” then the words just stop for most of the track and honestly it’s quite boring most of the tracks are either lyric-less or just have one repeating sample throughout the album is mindnumpingly boring. 1/5

I recall the practice session my old band had when our keys player Brittany discovered the effect he uses on "Remind". On her keyboard the setting was called "Solar Flare". Everyone thought it was awesome and we briefly contemplated building an entire song around it but quickly decided this would be much too thin a concept for an entire song. Mssr. Orbital has concluded differently. I have no way of judging this on its own terms, and while it's pleasant enough to put on as background music, it's not that interesting and I wouldn't have picked it for myself. Just a two things to note. One, the CD takes 4 minutes to even get rolling - why did they think it would improve the listening experience to have you sit around listening to nonsense noise for 4 minutes before playing some music? Two, it's very monotonous - I think the artist may have been going for that, but on an hour-long CD it really wears on you.

Just a tough listen, I can see the appeal but it’s the worst kind of experimental electronic music. At its best it’s confusing and at it’s worst it’s impenetrably antithetical to what music is meant to be.

One word: Bad!!

Time becomes- a loop. Love the worf sample Planet of the Shapes - I don’t have much to say tbh.. Lush 3-1 - I was hiccuping which I think adds to the long Lush 3.2 - this is literally the same thing Gave up on individual songs, all blend into one. I could not just sit and not do anything except listen to this album. Ultimate background music. DO people still dance to this? 1/5

Maybe it's because I'm not into dancing or dropping acid and staring at strobe lights but electronic music doesn't speak to me. It's too repetitive and I find it uninteresting. Some of the sounds these artists create from the use of technology is cool and innovative but that's about it.

What the hell? I gave up…

Boring

No

Not my kind of music.

fart*

What is this???? I don't understand this at all. I disliked the repetition of words in the first track and that put me off the rest of the album. I'm not a stranger to eletronica but this is too out of left field for me.

Repetitive garbage

A bit more musical than some other electronic albums I've heard, and not just annoying noise. Expect the intro and outro which are so annoying, don't understand why you would want to annoy the listener at the start and end of an album, which makes it a 1 star not 2 for me.

booring

Thought I would like this. But I didn't, I think I'd need to a lot of eccys to appreciate it. So repetitive.

Just noise

Horrendous

Really dull with repetitive samples looped for 6 minutes and called a song. Maybe worked in the clubs back in the day but pointless as a home listen

Dawno tak nie pokaralo gatunkiem z gatunku tych najtrudniej przyswajalnych, czyli chodzi o odmiane elektroniki zwana powszechnie techniawa, orbital 2 jak sama nazwa wskazuje bedzie drugim albumem studyjnym grupy o nazwie orbital, ktora jest duetem braci Hartnoll, ich imiona to Phil i Paul, jak przystalo na standardy listy orbitale musza byc oczywiscie rezydentami wyspiarskimi, bo jakze inaczej moze byc, nie jest to pierwszy i pewnie nie ostatni album elektroniczny podczas tego forsowania listy, ale jest to jeden z tych pickow od ktorego zupelnie sie odbilem podczas odsluchu, techniawa, ale nie wiksiarska, tylko inteligentniusia techniawa, dla wysublimowanych gustow koneserow muzyki elektroniczej, ktorej nie potrafie zrozumiec, cecha charakterystyczna brzmienia duetu na tym materiale bedzie bogaty sampling, juz pierwszy trak rozpoczyna sie sampelem z star treka time becomes a loop, ktory oczywiscie jest zlupowany przez prawie dwie minuty z letkim jego opoznieniem przy loopie, takie przesuniecie sampla w czasie okresia sie jakp phasing, z tego zabiegu kompozycyjnego mocno czerpia braciszkowie, przez co juz po pierwszych 5 minutach odsluchu mialem dosc, a nie jest to dobry omen, gdy plyta ma godzine i piec minut dlugosci i 10 trakow, kawalki lushowe kojarza mi sie z trancowym klimatem, ktory kontynuuje swa obecnosc na nastepne piosenki, bo kawalki wydaja sie byc ze soba zespawane tak jakby orbital drugi byl jednym wielkim songiem, ktory jest do konsumpcji w calosci, na co trzeba miec mocny zoladek muzyczny, cale szczescie, ze to juz ponad 250 piczek, wiec zahartowanie pozwolilo dosluchac albumu do konca i z czystym sumieniem jestem w stanie stwierdzic, ze nadal nie rozumiem tego gatunku, a rzadkie przepadki, jak z juno reactor, nie objawily sie jeszcze na liscie, songiem ktory najmniej mnie zabolal byl impact, ktory jest takze najdluzszym utworem plyty, a sample sa calkowicie niezrozumiale i niezbyt obszerne przez co nie tak odczuwalne, wiec leci na plejke lofikowych, zeby jakis slad po tym orginalnym elektronicznym projekcie orbitalowym nie zaginal, okladka faktycznie wyglada jak cos co mogloby byc orbitalowe

This is barely music.

Vile.

Qué aburrido y largo y hasta molesto. Y nada chistosos sus Tracks con las frases repitiéndose. En algunos puntos me sonó a cuando bajamos FrootLoops y jugábamos a hacer rolas de electrónica.

Niets voor mij

How were these guys so influential?
