Orbit, "Hello waveforms" is great but you should take time to produce a second CD of pieces in a modern style.PS: It's the perfect gift for classic music lovers, you can't expect them to have it and they'll love it for sure Being a fan of classic music as well of a fan of electronic music, this album blew me away, I often play this CD when I want to create a relaxed atmosphere and I know for a fact that 4 friends of mine have bought the CD after listening to it here with me.Xerxes and Cavalleria rusticana are sublime achievements of production.Mr.
Much more sophisticated than the average listener might appreciate.Consider it a staple for anyone serious about electronic music.I believe anyone rating this poorly is looking for a pop appeal that you just won't find here, thankfully. Tonight, I am taking the five minutes to stop and write how unique, amazing and consistently refreshing this album is everytime I go back to it since the day it was released.Highly Melodic, very electronic and overall lacking the percussive elements most have come to know when listening to Orbit. I have been working in electronic music for almost 20 years years. I have a massive library of music for almost any reason, mood and itch.
I don't know who Maxine Kubabi is. Some of them worked out well, others not as well as one might hope. An "ungainly meeting of the sublime and the absurd." What a sublimely empty and inadequate statement.You have to know something about a genre before you can be an effective critic inside it. that's greasy kid stuff.What Orbit has done is to realize some old, familiar works in an electronic medium, using smooth and musical strokes.
so: you were disappointed that Orbit didn't create more of the kind of schmaltz you personally like. But he deserves kudos for taking a risk and for making some of it work.Why would anyone who *likes* electronic music complain that it doesn't have live instrumentation. "Reverence". Yanni, anyone.For those who actually like electronic music, and like Beethoven's Opus 132, please, give that track a listen. "Second rate Vangelis". She's certainly untitled to her opinion.
That's like complaining that jazz has no rock and roll in it. I don't think you'll be disappointed. You should be able to specify why you don't like something in some detail, rather than resort to crabby nebulousities. He's taken many big chances.
More ambient than anything else I have heard though.Recommended for William orbit and curious georges I have been a fan William Orbit since Water from a vine leaf and I have to admit while this ins't exactly a electronica per se it is still amazing to see what he has done with our classics. The listening experience depends solely on the listener.
But, I love it. It's not full of upbeat electronics like originally thought it would be. It's great to listen to while just thinking.relaxing.reading.it's beautiful. If you're looking for something to pop in late at night to dance to.this is not the album. This album is eery and some of it is painful.
