Orbital - The Middle Of Nowhere

umagarrafavaziaparaopresente

Review by Thales Serra Negra Teodoro

The Middle of Nowhere, the fifth studio album by British electronic duo Orbital, is a sonic journey that takes listeners on a mesmerizing ride through the depths of ambient techno. Released in 1999, the album showcases Orbital's signature style of intricate beats, layered melodies, and hypnotic rhythms, while also incorporating elements of rock, funk, and classical music.

From the opening track "Way Out," with its pulsing bassline and soaring synth lines, to the epic closer "Meltdown," which features a haunting vocal performance by Alison Goldfrapp, The Middle of Nowhere is a masterclass in electronic music production. The album's standout track, "Style," is a funky, guitar-driven number that features a catchy vocal hook and a driving rhythm that is impossible not to dance to.

Have always been an orbital fan, appreciated their music from day one but did not end up buying all their albums, just the top 2 or 3 and time went on. Recently, i decided to revisit orbital and got this album off ebay. Its been a week and i have played it through and through 20 times or so already. Its a masterpiece and sounds better and better with each repeat play. Orbital has blown all the lids on this one...its hard hitting, easy to digest and high quality from start to end. No fillers...rather one wants it to go on an on..thank god for the repeat button on cd players!!

This is absolutely my favorite Orbital song. I bought this album when I was around 14, and I love the whole cd, but Know Where to Run is one of my favorite songs of all time.
