Worst track on Orbital's Work: 1989-2002

illuminate.

i'm sure it has more tracks than that tho.

aye. redo poll to include the remaining 4 tracks?

ysi me the rest of the tracks -- wtf

Illuminate is pretty shit

I hate Satan too

If you hate Satan, he hates you. And if you love Satan, he hates you.

What are you on though, it's awesome. The later live single release was better than the original. Also seeing Jools Holland slightly stunned after they performed it on Later... was something of a treat.

and it's on youtube!: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FG6tRSpWqJA

the version on this is 'Satan Spawn' tho isn't it? can't remember what the difference is. agree that 'Satan Live' is best (not including my shonky mash-up of the original with Ragga Twins 'Illegal Gunshot').

Never liked "Are We Here" much.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

shit, i voted for chime by accident thinking this was the 'best track' poll. duh! please discount.

Mentalists

I mean, I don't hate "Illuminate" but it is CLEARLY the worst song here!

Style is shit (that horrible brass sound) apart from the Dollar sample

buncha contrarian wiseguys on ilx shockah

"that horrible brass sound" is a goddamn stylophone!

You're gonna tell me you don't like "Ohm Sweet Ohm" next.

The "Now I'm aching for you" section of "Style" (is that the Dollar sample? I don't know) is one of the most brilliant pieces of music ever.

shit, i voted for chime by accident thinking this was the 'best track' poll. duh! please discount.

...so that 'chime' vote was me. anyway, this pole was pretty meaningless cos only 9 bloody people voted!!!

pole = poll

i've got stefan betke on the brain obviously

I'd be thinking Style was awful for years and then I went back and listened to it again a few months ago and realise it was actually quite magical, possibly my listening over the intervening years plus no longer having to hear it as the follow-up single to InSides has helped matters.

Everyone should have voted for Illuminate really though.

an instrumental of Illuminate would be fine

"Illuminate" isn't an instrumental, though.

that's the problem, unless you mean it was conceived as a song to the extent that as an instrumental it would sound too sparse/lacking, which may be so but it's not like people are voting for it on that basis.

on a slightly related note 'Frenetic' which should've been here and probably would've come second had it been unless deemed forgettable, being reworked to accommodate terrible bit at the start doesn't quite detract from the fact that the original 'Kinetic' is awes.
