Orbital: In Sides

Yeah, this one is old. Yeah, you've heard it before. So what?

In 1996 Orbital were the kings of techno. I think they even had crowns. They certainly had subjects. Neon wearing, glowstick waving, high on ecstacy subjects.


The fact remains that In Sides is still an amazing album, and "The Girl With The Sun In Her Head" is one of the finest examples of electronic music from the mid-nineties (in my opinion). I think it even (almost) compares to some of the stuff the great god of electronica himself was doing in the late 80s (of course I am referring to our DJ, the great and mighty Richard D James, Aphex Twin).

Also in my defense, this album only cost me $10 from a used record store. The image above includes the price tag. It also comes with a bonus disc that includes the theme from the movie "The Saint" with Val Kilmer. Ah, memories. And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, be sure and tell her: SATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Listen and relive the 90s with Orbital:
