He did it on purpose.

It is. This is something completely new, the closest comparison has to be Venus 17 ep, but it's so much more than that. He is truly reinventing himself with these past two LP's. There is so much more than the mentalism of the teaser track (which is brilliant). Believe the hype, this one is special.

It's so good. This is top-tier Squarepusher. I won't say any more till more folks get to hear it.

My vinyl just arrived today (a bit early no?), the digital code does not work. I get a message saying that it will be available upon the official release date. I plan to listen tonight after work, the anticipation is killing me.

Almost everything. Just listened to these. Top notch, as usual for dgoHn.

(Parallax Mix) is it.

Dave Gahan is RDJ, confirmed.

(i tune my monitors to minipops, its mastering is impeccable.)

Not my favorite, but not at all underwhelming to my ears. Those perfectly timed rhythm changes and the luxurious vocal patches have me hooked. The "pahhh" sounds remind me of (mold), same thing with that one track on the Collapse EP. I like it because it sounds really neat.

I love their music so much, but they seemed to disappear as quickly as they appeared. I miss this music. At least we have that one LP. Anyone know what happened, or if there are some side projects or whatever?

Not as cool as T69 Collapse, but I still really like it. I get a SAW 85-92 feeling from this new one.

Just stream it from bandcamp.... they let you do that.

Beautiful album from beginning to end. I really love this.

Really? Of course, he is not them. Come on Pitchfork from 2009! He is a guy with a name and streams on youtube. Doesn't even sound remotely close to BOC. 2009 was funny.

Could be good. I like when they go all in on hypnotic sample heavy grooves. Them an Negativeland were always really great at that kind of thing. The Orb are best seen/heard live.

I remember when I thought it couldn't get worse than "The Alltogether". Then came Blue and Wonky (both ok records)... I have no idea what they are doing now. I hope the new tracks on 30 are a not just accidentally good and point to a "return to form".

The new tracks on the anniversary collection reignited my interest in new Orbital tunes. I hope they are a precursor.

Cro Magnox (a personal favorite of mine) was after United Acid Emirates. Camelot Arcade was also really nice. I like where Ceephax is and I hope he keeps doing it. Who would fill his spot if he went full IDM? It would be cool to hear what he did in an alternate reality, but I personally really enjoy his style in this one.

This is the first from Daphni that, in my opinion stands with Swim and Andorra. I love Caribou, drove halfway across the US to see them play (yeah, probably too far). After hearing this, I don't even care if Caribou is over (if they are). First things I heard from Daphni were ok but didn't seem like fully realized albums or eps, more like DJ fodder, this is not that. For me it bridges the gap between Caribou and Daphni and its perfect. I have a strong feeling Caribou is over and Daphni is it now, I'm good with it (if that's actually the case). I feel strong early Underworld vibes on this release, not to mention my first thought being "is this early orbital 2.0?". Strong recognition of past influence but also has a touch that is only his. Great album.

Shocked this thread has two (now three) posts. Albums great.

Just when I thought it was time to write off Orbital after the past few releases, this happens. These new tracks and reworks of the classics are very good. Was not at all expecting it to be this good.

Always wondered why they never got a "watmm page" guess you gotta be (or have been) on warp or rephlex to get one of those. Can't wait to hear part 2 of this "trilogy".

Yah, I could but $$$.

I submitted an inquiry with Songkick. all of the dates listed have different artists playing on official venue's calendars on the corresponding nights. Weird. Darn.
