I actually think this is their best album since orblivion. I like some of the vocals, but the extensive use of samples kicks ass. Orbsonia is a fantastic tune....I wish they would write more tunes like this! And definitely some prog rock elements in the opening track and the track with hillage. The only slow point for me is Beautiful Day (which strangely I have had stuck in my head), and the DDD disco song...I can't tell if its tongue in cheek or not. Still, production-wise its a great album, and alot of ear candy on it. Hopefully this will lead to Orbvs Terrarvm II. I mean stylistically, not literally...

Hey Orbsters -
I too have been feeling a bit sad as of late about the evolution of the music. It just doesn't seem to have that certain something that Orb songs always did, at least to my ear. Not sure if that's them moving a new direction, or me staying attached to an old one.
Regardless, I'll always give new tunes a try.
And even better, a very, very great friend arrived with a special gift for my new apt - one of the Orblivion clocks! Despite any disenchantment with recent Orb tunes, I was nothing short of ecstatic to have one of these! It is truly glorious!
