774. Snivilisation by Orbital

Things I know about Orbital: they make some form of dance music and were quite big in the 90s. 

Things I learned about Orbital upon us picking this album: they have at least one album with a terrible title.

Things I learned whilst listening to the album.

1. I quite like spoken word samples taken out of context played over modern dance music.
2. I don't like this approach being repeated on most of the albums' songs.
3. A dance track without a decent drop isn't much of a dance track.
4. Orbital are not a fan of basslines, preferring very technical treble to dominate.
5. Philosophy by Numbers is an interesting track, which I enjoyed, but would love it to have a proper horn section rather than the electronic equivalent.
6. The piano loop on Kein Trink Wasser is great, but doesn't really go anywhere.
7. I am not going to rush out and listen to any more Orbital albums.
