Ed e Tom escono dalla loro cantina con questo disco del "consolidamento".
La Old school la lasciamo a Fatboy Slim.
La Techno la lasciamo a Daft Punk.
Niente male però gli Orbital...
Che l'abbiano pensata così o meno questo è quello che traspare dai suoni del disco. Tralasciando la pessima "It Began In Africa" il disco è bello.
Contiene autocitazioni a-la Evan Dando (si sentono i suoni di "Song For Sirens" un po' ovunque), cose vecchie e nuove remixate insieme.
Mi piacciono "Come With Us", "Star Guitar" e "Galaxy Bounce". Nella prima c'è un bell'inserimento molto seventies verso la fine del brano.
Nel complesso è piacevole e non provavo questa sensazione fin dai tempi dell'inarrivabile "Exit Planet Dust" che i due volponi hanno ben pensato di ripescare qua e là, mescolato ad "In-Sides" degli Orbital (si chiamava così quello con la copertina tutta colorata?).
Non è amore ma un bel disco. Rendo l'idea?

Come with us
And leave your Earth behind
Bright and clear
We see the light
All universes at your side!
Please lead us to other suns' warm light
Behold
They're coming back
Behold

They're coming back
They're coming back
Come with us...

Here I go round again again again...
Think that I'll never come down again again again...
07 The State We're In (06:26)
I've been workin' baby for too long now
Just wanna get next to you boy
I've been searchin' baby, a way to tell you how
Gotta get through to you boy
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
You took it all of the time
There's no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
I've been workin' baby for too long now
Just wanna get next to you boy
I've been searchin' baby, a way to tell you how
Gotta get through to you boy
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
You took it all of the time
There's no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
There's no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
I've been workin' baby for too long now
I've been searchin' baby, a way to tell you how
10 The Test (07:46)
O-o-o-o-oh
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
yeeeh
Am I coming through?
Am I coming through?
Is this sweet and pure and true?
Devil came by this morning,
Said he had
Something to show me
I was looking like I've never seen a face before
Here we go now, let's slide into the open door
Pictures and things that I've done before
Circling around me,
Out here on the floor
I'm dreaming this and I'm dreaming that
Regretting nothing
Think about that
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon
Yeah I'm shining
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon
Lord, I'm shining
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
You know I almost lost my mind
I can't explain
Where I've been
You know I've almost lost my mind
I can't explain
Where I've been
You know I almost lost my mind
I couldn't explain
What I've seen
Im happy now to have seen it
To find that the images are fading away
I'm seeing waves breaking forms to my horizon
Yeah I'm shining
I'm seeing waves breaking forms to my horizon, lord
I'm shining yeah
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
You know I almost lost my mind
I can't explain
Where I've been
You know I almost lost my mind
I couldn't explain
The things I've seen
But now I think I see the light
Now I think I see the light
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon
Yeah I'm shining
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon, lord
I'm shining
Oh are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you
Oh are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
(Repeat)
You know I almost lost my mind
Now I'm home, and I'm free
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
(Repeat)
You'd better go to bed now
(Repeat)

Di questo disco non mi convince niente, è formalmente bello, ineccepibile, coi bassi profondi che entrano sui hi-hat... ma non c’è una sola canzone per la quale mi venga voglia di scavare nella pila di cd.
Di questo disco non mi rimane niente, anche se ascoltarlo in sottofondo in un bar mi farà piacere. Rispetto, ma non più di quello.

La verità è che non si può resistere a questi due geni, Tom Rowlands ed Ed Simons.
Quindi dopo i 2 milioni di copie di 'Surrender' venduti in giro per il mondo questo è un ottimo seguito, molto meglio dell'ultimo 'Push The Button'.
Di Jack_85
Fu amore a prima vista tra me e quel video sognante che è "Star Guitar".
Un album dove ogni traccia è semplicemente una perla se si è amanti del genere.
