Initial pressings of IN SIDES contain a bonus disc with five extra tracks, including a 28-minute version of "The Box." "The Box" and "Out There Somewhere?" are contained on two tracks each. Orbital: Paul Hartnoll, Phil Hartnoll. Additional personnel: Auntie (vocals); Clune (drums). Since 1989, when they released their first single, Orbital's Hartnoll brothers have represented a less beat-heavy side of techno. Rather than rhythmic brawn and hyperkinetic RPMs, Orbital's music was driven by modern compositional style owing to Glass and Reich, with Eno's spacing thrown in for good measure, and electro-pulses providing the only things seeming beat-worthy. Theirs are sound sculptures consistently apart from their contemporaries--more melodic, more contemplative and soundtrack-like. 1996's IN SIDES, their fourth full-length release, is a fine representation of Orbital's sonic environment, and a great place to jump into the ways of the Hartnolls, if only because it's their cheeriest album. Bright melodies carrie...

Pros: "Out There Somewhere," a 24 minute journey into the talents of the brothers Hartnoll
Cons: "P.E.T.R.O.L." sorta ruins the mood of the record.

Pros: 'Out There Somewhere?' Hartnolls' discover time travel? Surely it can't be 70 minutes!
Cons: Rereleasing the album with 'bonus track' 'The Sinner' from their 'Saint' film CD Single? Oh well, more for us I suppose...
