Orbital’s Blue Album 07-07-2004
I’ve long been a fan of Orbital and after The Altogether I was somewhat disappointed with what Orbital had been putting out. When I heard that their next album would be their last I was hoping that they could redeem themselves.
The Blue Album is definitely a good farewell as it touches upon the progression of their sound over the years. Tracks such as One Perfect Sunrise and You Lot are just pure Orbital of old but with a bit of an updated feel.
With the end of Orbital I totally regret missing them perform live. But at the least I have an extensive collection of their work over the years. Tracks like The Box and Halcyon and on and On are what got me into electronic music.
