Details: Product DescriptionBR/DVD Combo.Amazon.caCan it really be 13 years since Orbital first blended the nave charm of synth pop with rave’s new ways? Now grandly remodelled as « the godfathers of British techno », early glo-stick anthems such as « Chime » seem as distant as lilac- hooded sweatshirts, yet placed alongside all their other unorthodox singles, things begin to make sense onWork. The brothers Hartnoll always had more to them than most of their drug-addled, often novelty contemporaries. With a swaggering sense of melody and their trademark clockwork rhythms, they made emotive instrumental dance music that feels as fresh today as it ever did. Admittedly, looking back on this best-of retrospective, some of the breakbeats do sound a bit clunky, yet the haunting, classical lilt woven through gems like « Nothing Left » and the heart-stopping « Belfast » are testament to their genius. The only disappointment here (aside from 2 Unlimited sound-a-like, « Choice ») is the pointless vocal remix of « Kinetic », now renamed « Frenetic ». One word: why? –Paul Tierney
