Product Description

From Amazon.com

Snivilisation is one of Orbital's most accomplished works. Partially consisting of experimental loop-oriented progressions and clamorous noise fills, other dominant tracks also purvey elements of drifting "technotic" bliss. The appearance of guest vocalist Allison Goldfrapp, who sang on Tricky's Maxinquaye album, adds to the appeal of two tracks. As audiences succumbed to the electronic symbiosis generated by Orbital's mystique, the group's political outlook became realized on bold tracks like "Are We Here." The track rallied rave culture as it scorned austere governmental policies which descended upon England's electronic masses. Combined with traces of Eastern-oriented influence, the album further heralds Orbital's outward affiliations applied within their technology-driven platforms. --Lucas Hilbert

4.0 out of 5 stars Great. Gets better the more I listen., Jan 22 2004

This one really grew on me but at first I was a little disappointed because I was comparing it to 'In Sides' which I just love, so based on other reviews this was my second Orbital album. 'Forever' and 'Are We Here', among others, are great tracks, you can listen to them over and over. Overall I give it 4 out of 5. It is definitely a good CD to have in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars first Orbital album, Nov 19 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Snivilisation (Audio CD)

awesome cd. the best techno music you'll ever hear, period. Sad but True and Are we Here? are my favorite. I also like Crash and Carry alot, but not quite as much as the other two. Anyways, if you're a fan of music, and I mean any style, not just electronica, this is a must-have. Oh, and by the way, for argument's sake, this is a techno/ambient techno album, not a trance album.

3.0 out of 5 stars A mixed Orbital bag
I was eager to purchase this CD when it was first released in 1994, having bought and devoured Orbital's two previous albums. I'll be honest - I was disappointed. Read more
