Album: Orbital 2
Artist: Orbital
Genre: Electronic-Dance

Opening with a looped Star Trek sample, Orbital's second album progresses through eight tracks of warm, unrepetitive techno in what sounds more like a DJ mix album than an LP, with no bows to mainstream sensibilities. Here, the duo's acknowledged inspiration from Kraftwerk, present before but... [+] Expand

The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld
Artist: The Orb
Community Score: 8.67

Much like the early Orb-related project recorded as Space, Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld simulates a journey through the outer realms -- progressing from the soaring ambient-pop of "Little Fluffy Clouds" and the stoned "Back Side of the Moon" (a veiled Pink Floyd reference) to "Into the Fourth Dimension" and ending (after more than two hours)...

From the opener "O.O.B.E." through the bass-heavy gait of "Blue Room" and "Towers of Dub," the flow is more natural and ranges farther than most would have expected. The... Read More

The Collection The Collection
Artist: Paul Parker
X-101
Artist: Underground Resistance

The companion release to the six-track X-101 release by Tresor in Europe, Underground Resistance released this two-track EP on its own label in Detroit. The A-side features "G-Force," an experimental track comprised of a strange tone that sounds as if it's being pulled or stretched. It's not necessarily pleasant to listen to and is intended for...
