... I happen to be a fan of IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) as exemplified by
Orbital. Has anyone here listened to In Sides, their seminal album? Or The Box, their 27-minute single from that album? Reviewers criticised it for being too progressive. Is it? |

I've have only heard one song: Pants. And the only reason i did, was because it was named pants.  ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

 Nice track, but came after their progressive period (1995-1999).

In Sides. 
Great album. Haven't heard their other albums though. |

You're not alone here; I'm very much into IDM - I haven't heard the Orbital album you mention, but I do know 'Snivilisation'. Personally, I'm more likely to listen to some of the Psy-Trance coming out these days, plus a great deal of the good chillout sounds being produced by the likes of Harold Budd, Peter Merneger, Hoopy Frood et al. -------------

I have a couple of Orbital's early albums - one has a green cover and the other is brown and both have the same title. The brown album contains Halcyon, a superb piece with some captivating wordless female vocals, and the green album has a stunning track called Belfast which is beautiful and impossible to dance to. I also had a copy of Snivilisation, but I loaned it to somebody (along with FSOL's Life Forms) and never saw it again  . I'm surprised that more fans of Tangerine Dream and similar acts aren't into IDM.------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'
