I might agree if not for Close Encounters and Majestic, which have not aged well imo.

To me, Orbus front to back is a timeless classic. Opinions, eh?

Close Encounters is one of my favourites from the album. There was a point where I got sick of it but then some ambient remix of it rekindled my love of it, and the whole album for that matter.

Also sometimes cheesiness can can flip inside out and become fresh again right? To my (admittedly very limited knowledge) there's not a lot of stuff like Close Encounters or Majestic being made these days so if someone put that out now, it would probably be seen as quite refreshing in a sort of retro throwback sort of way.

I think I love both of these albums about the same but for different reasons... the mood of them is just polar opposites (obviously intentionally).

Also, Glasgow 'Slam' legends Orde Miekle and Stuart McMillan on co-writing credits for Close Encounters raises it to another level.  I never did read anything from Kris Weston on working with Slam... he seems to have burned almost everyone else the colab-ed on that album.
