Reviews (page 7 of 8)
This was quite strange, not the biggest fan of this kind of music
The opening and closing track completely killed this album for me. I got into it during the middle and was enjoying it, only reason its not getting a 1
Wow this has aged really poorly, sounds really dated Not the absolute worst music I've ever heard, but not for me at all
Besser als David guetta Hat seine Berechtigung
2/5
4/10. Okay, this album was really long, and fairly annoying. Not so annoying that it distracted me from homework, but it made it a bit less pleasant. The first and last songs were both kinda cool, and even more annoying than the rest of it.
It's just hard to listen to for an hour. 4
A lot to like here but I have limited years of my life and I can’t afford to spend them waiting several mins for a song to begin or listening to “time becomes a loop” a billion times.
Máquina. Largo. Aburrido. Machacón.
Didn't love it...pretty basic EDM
not really a positive or negative response to this album. fine but boring. enjoyed one song
4
electronica. vibes. weird.
First track annoying. Hope it gets better. Songs overall are ok. Good for background music except the first and last songs. Both annoying and unnecessary. 2.5
My kingdom for this list to put a DECENT electronic album on here. The first two minutes of the album saying "when time becomes a loop" was foreshadowing for the repetitive waste of time bullshit that would ensue here. Absolutely not dude, I don't get why this is on here.
DNF. Not high enough for this.
I tapped out at that song that just repeated itself over and over and over and over
So annoying......ugh!
Meaningless repetitive electronic noise
Am I on some sort of purgatorial loop? Odd.
While my dislike for this may be irrational, I'm holding on tight.
I'M ON IT
This one was hard to get through with some songs needing to be skipped.
It doesn’t offend me, but it does bore me. Do people really like background music? Yikes
I tried to like them in the 90's, that mission failed miserably. Again, an album no one in the USA has ever sniffed. I read up on them today to reacquaint myself with the band, apparently they are "musical visionaries" but from the first ANNOYING song to the start of the second I was ready to throw in the towel. Who sits around and listens to the repetition they are serving up? Talk about mindless, this is how you torture people in Guantanamo. Over and over with the same thing, mundane breaks, then a drum machine, repeat. All the songs are too long and to repetitive. Had to take the headphones off as I was getting a brutal headache! Soulless. No hits. No audience (snively listener counts, outside of "Halcyon" at 52M). Songs were repetitive, boring & uncreative. Drum machine hell. Dated. I went through this one on Fast Forward. 1 star, it sucks and sounds like so many other boring ass electronic albums. I hope to never hear this one again.
This is just noise, and not even good noise. It is not at all for me, and I struggled to get through it.
Pretentious bullshit with no payoff
But why?
Just kinda went by, then the last song was annoying so take a 1 Will I listen to again: 0%
Nope. Nothing about this appeals to me. None of it. Listening to this was damn near painful. Shouldn't be on the list.
Boring.
Exercising my right to use a one star rating on this album. Not because it's inherently horrible, but because I genuinely feel like it lacks bringing anything meaningful to the list of greatest albums of all time. The first time I heard an album on here described as being pivotal to the London underground rave scene of the 90's I thought, ok cool, let's have a good listen, I know I'm not going to love this but it's kind of neat to tuck into something different and hear how it adds to the conversation on what makes music interesting and unique. Now that I have received several albums described as being pivotal to the underground London rave scene of the 90's I'm at my limit of what feels genuinely worthwhile to listen too in this ultra specific category. Im sure these underground London raves in the 90's were a pretty wild time, but perhaps it's time we move on and give room to some of the thousands of other deserving musical micro-cultures that existed in the last 50 years.
If this project has taught me anything, it’s that I can’t stand electronic dance music. Especially when it’s from the 90s. While this one starts off with some interesting use of samples, it quickly devolves into the same tedious dance beats that I just don’t care for unless I am in a club and have consumed copious amounts of drugs. To top it all off, by pairing tedious, repetitive beats with long songs and a long album it makes this feel like it goes on for an eternity. The sequencing on Lush 3-1 into Lush 3-2 is just plain bad; the former ends with an awkward fade out only for the exact same beat to suddenly start again in the latter. And apparently they do know how to sequence tracks well as I didn’t realize when Lush 3-2 transitioned into Impact. There’s a 5-star review that admits Walk On is annoying, which I find baffling because Walk On sounds identical to the rest of the tracks on here with the exception of the deep, didgeridoo-esque drone (that I did like) and a metronome-esque ticking in the background (that was mixed well enough to not be annoying to me). Well I made it to the end. Fuck that was tedious.
Couldn’t get through it. Yeesh
STOP! SERIOUSLY JUST STOP IT! All this electronic shit sounded dated in the 90s. Its even worse now 30 years later! Fucking ZERO STARS
Must have been rad at the time but not anymore.
Fuck hvor er det ligegyldigt blip båt musik
The album started out weird for a few songs. Then it turned okay songs but a bit repetitive. After that back to weird and then it was over. I kind of ge what the artist was going for I think but it didn't work for me at all.
Crap
Annoying as fuck right out the gate. 'Time becomes a loop' on a loop. How clever. Y'all come up with that at recess? Oh now track two starts with a voice over loop. This is going to be a long hours and five minutes. Ugh. Yeah if you use the same BPM on every track it makes it easier for DJs to mix and sample in da club. I am sure if I was on the right drugs this would be enthralling, but then so is is the back of your hand in that state. Otherwise it's insipid and pedestrian. But yeah put it on the list, representation and ribbons for all I guess.
Not my thing at all. Sorry.
Exhausting to say the least. I knew I was in a little bit of trouble when I saw it's regularly referred to as "the brown album." Maybe it's the mood I'm in or maybe this just isn't for me, but all I can't help but feel that this is the soundtrack to various black sites and torture chambers across the world.
I can appreciate the way that songs build, layer upon layer, like a drug-infused onion. It’s the kind of thing that any teenager with the wherewithal and appropriate app could have a go at making. But I’m not in a 90s club, nor am I high, nor am I inclined towards this kind of music without very specific circumstances. In essence, I am a bore and I am not entertained. Also the album being bookended by some banal attempt at pointing out you can make music out of looped phrases is unnecessary. Is the idea to make the rest of the album look better? Don’t know, but I didn’t like it.
Unless your deficient in the head or a goldfish how can you enjoy this repetitive dross. No lucid creature should want to wallow in this excrement. "IMPACT" - Was moderately provocative as was extremely orgasmic followed by some gibberish and then back to spanking me with some long-winded sampling. In conclusion, if I wanted a concept of a lovely dream being ruined by naked pictures of my Grandma then this is just the thing.
Some of this intrigued me but much of it just started to grate on me.
Another wasted hour. 1 star or F-.
The same beat for an hour.
I know this list randomly picks the records for you, but this makes 2 pretty mid (albeit different) early 90s electronica albums in a row for me. I really couldn't tell you a damn thing about this album that qualifies it as required listening. Atmospheric, sure, but this thing goes on for way too long...
Absolutely brutal. 1/5
Sigh. Another mediocre British band. Exceptionally annoying, repetitive music. That first track was painful, the rest of the songs were maybe a little better but all started to sound the same after a while. I genuinely don’t understand how this album made the list. (1)
I eventually had to give up. 10 songs and over an hour run time… I knew I was going to be in for a bad time, but I didn’t think some of the repetition choice would be so rage inducing. Fuck this album
me cague encima
It boggles the mind how such high-energy music can be so utterly boring.
I thought this album was the worst I’ve encountered in this project. “Halcyon” (the only track I had heard before, courtesy of the 1995 film Mortal Kombat) saved it from that distinction. That track is excellent. Otherwise, I’d only listen to this album again while under the influence. 2/10.
Two men discovering random electro tracks for the first time and wanting to cause pain. Help.
what is the significance of this album?
Techno
Another one of those boring electronic albums that were made for mainstream listeners, safe and basic. So many classics from that era, and here we are with Orbital and Sabres of Paradise
absolutely not, gave up quick
Soulless and boring
Not for me
Just had a hard time with this - the collection is more suited for a modern bar reception area as background comfort.
What?
I’m rated this based on that first track that really pushed me off a cliff. The rest of this was fine enough for a bump high, however I can be spiteful when annoyed.
Chinese water torture. 1.5
2.0/10
Number 2
I am not into this at all.
Yeah electronic music is horrible to me.
Time is indeed a loop if you listen to this shit.
i can't understand how the hell this album finish in this List.
Well, that was a stinker. 2/10
Boring machine noise
Saved? ❌ Would listen again? ❌ Would recommend to anyone? ❌ Would buy on Vinyl? ❌
Fell asleep. Tried to listen again. Realised I was right first time. Sometimes it's better to listen to your body. 1*
Well, this is definitely a first. The first time I’ve wanted to skip every song on an album because of how weak it was. These songs are like a light breeze blowing past you when you’re seeking mayhem. Like this album can’t settle into any musical category perfectly. It’s too pussy for Prodigy. Not catchy enough for Daft Punk. Not weird like Mr. Ouizo. Not even trippy enough for Josh Wink. This is pretty much your parents music if they listened to electro trance dance euro vision whatever this is
Fucking no thank you.
I struggle to listen to Orbital tbh, if I was in a club then ok, but not at my age, it’s not going to happen….
So dated, it's far to awkward to listen to and take seriously.
It was just a load of irritating noises. I did not enjoy it one little bit.
After an hour of relentless, monotonous, rhythmic noise finally ends, the silence that follows is eerily deafening. And you realize the full measure of the audio torture you've just endured.
Godawful, bit dancy but more annoying than anything else
fever dream type shit
I liked the lush one bu that was thr only one gave a little taste of pink panther in that only song because of the electric and the voice but the others are social experiments I think my mum can do better tbh
maybe matthews mum would like this but not me
🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤯
I do enjoy electronic music but why the hell is this on the list? This is background music of the most boring kind. I think Muzak might be more interesting. What a waste of time listening to this was. Ugh, so lame.
Pretty boring other than that one song in cky2k
Rubbish. The songs are far too long, not as clever as the writers think and they seem really old fashioned. It has not aged well.
1/5
So I should love this; ambient techno from the early 90s brings me back to the height of the rave scene. But it doesn't, it's actually pretty awful. I was never a big Orbital fan to begin with, but I figured they would have some deep cuts on their albums that were worth a listen. At the very least, I would find the music pleasing to have on in the background. Having listened to first one and now two of their albums from start to finish, I'm thinking they're actually a bit overrated. It's very dull, badly constructed telephone waiting music. I can't even forgive them for being "ground breakers" as other artists had already done this over a decade earlier, with far better results. If there's anything cleverer than just stacking up and layering samples going on, then it's way over my head. My overall feeling was that this was what it sounds like when someone uses all the built-in samples in a new DAW and randomly adds them to see what they all sound like, i.e. disposable garbage-music. "Little Fluffy Clouds" was kind of epic back in the day, and I assumed that this was an album by the guys who made that. It's not, that was "the Orb", similar name I guess. So after that blunder, what was Orbital's most famous track I wonder? Well it seems that was "Halcyon", so I held off my judgement in case that was amazing; it wasn't, it sucked just as bad as the rest of this album! There's very little mainstream music that sounds quite like this in the 2020s, and to be honest, I feel that's a good thing. We've moved on from repetitive, poorly made ambient techno and I hope it never comes back into fashion again. One star.
Nothing like starting your day with the buzzkill of being assigned yet another UK electronica album from this generator. And then that buzzkill being immediately confirmed by the album starting with the worst "song" you can possibly imagine
Couldn’t finish it
This is so boring. Why is it even on this list? Maybe it was influential to something grander? I don't know or care.
Couldn’t finish. I’m sure it’s someone’s vibe but it’s definitely not mine
Try harder
I tried. I just can’t.
Supongo que sería revolucionario. Supongo que cambiaría para siempre la historia de la música electrónica. Supongo que merece la pena. Pero no me aporta absolutamente nada está música y creo que a nadie en estado mental estable. Así que musicalmente sólo puedo decir que no tiene más contenido que una canción infantil repetida en loops.
Hate
🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
Techno to put people to sleep. Honorable mention to the Star Trek TNG reference, but not enough to get this one out of the sewers.
Didn’t find enjoyable at all. Felt like someone a got a computer with garage band like software and just started to experiment with sounds to see what would annoy the roommates the most.
Repetitive and annoying. It was tough to stick it out to the end. I wanted it to be over halfway through the second song. Apparently this is 90’s rave music. The only way I can remotely think this might be enjoyable is with some strong drugs. Repetitive and annoying. Repetitive and annoying. Repetitive and annoying.
ew
Some interesting sounds but not my thing at all. Not terrible just can't imagine ever wanting to sit down and listen to this or have it on in the background. Fave tracks:
DNF. the only bits that didn’t bore me annoyed me and the majority made me feel a mix of both emotions. not great
Dogshit
Nope. I'm noping out of this. Not for me.
0.5
This album is pure F'kin' torture! It's a crime against humanity. It should be against the Geneva Convention to even have to listen to this. Call it Audioboarding. (1.2) ½★
If the 1001 albums project has taught me one thing, it's how much I do not like 90s electronica. This album filled me with dread from the get-go with a song that's just a looped bit of Star Trek dialogue. While I like Commander Worf as much as anyone, this wasn't his best work. Overall, I just found this album (and style of music) too repetitive overall. Which is sort of the point for music designed for clubs, but when listening at home, it doesn't work so well. Sorry, but not for me. 1.5 stars.
Musik från en klädbutik i england på 90-talet
My favorite so far from the “Nintendo 64 snowboarding game choose your character music” album. Even still, total shite and why is this here?
is this a fucking joke?
shite
To quote one of my past reviews, I hate electronica and no album is going to change my mind on that.
I could make a better album with a sample of the demo mode song from the 1980s Casio keyboard using garage band on your iPhone during an airport layover … this is just utter nonsense. And, I literally have no words for all you asshats that have given this a 4 or a 5. Are you serious? What the fuck are you even doing here? Go back to your room and let the adults do the talking from now on.
I have never hated an album more.
This is certainly unique and different, that's for sure. Was not a fan
Not gonna lie, this just sounded like sound effects to me
I’m thankful they let me know from the opening song this was an album intent on annoying listeners. Also thankful cds only had 80 minutes of space. A child could make more interesting music.
Sleepy boring music
Well, I was due for something to be my first 1 rating. I just did not enjoy this at all. Electronica is already a genre I really don't gravitate towards, and these songs felt incredibly repetitive and boring. The only reprieve I had during the album, was when one song ended and a new one began, because there'd at least be some kind of new musical component to be a breath of fresh air. However, as with each song preceding it, that breath of fresh air turns stale rather fast when it's repeated in the exact same unending way for the following 5 to 10 minutes. I'm sure these songs were great in the club/rave scene in the 90s, but it's just not my jam.
Tostón. Solo se salvan los tres primeros minutos de Halcyon.
I enjoyed the didjiradoo by of Walk now but very little else. Orbital perfectly capture a genre i dont like. The music makes me feel anxious not exhilarated. The looping jokes on the opening tracks also wear thin very quickly.
Starting off a record with a clip of Worf from Star Trek should really appeal to me, as I am a nerd. But my goodness that opening track was annoying. And then it was followed up with 9 minutes of "Withnail and I" plus an incessant beat. By about a quarter of the way through, I was considering allowing myself a DNF, but the completest in me decided to stick it out. Suffice to say, I suspect being completely off your tits on amphetamines in a field is probably the optimum way to experience this album. I however, was completely sober making leek and potato soup. By the time the didgeridoo appeared I had well and truly had enough. This album was basically my idea of hell. 1/5
Im at album 600+ and I everytime I hear some crap like this I double guess the ability of the "curators" or "editors" of this list that they are clueless. There is no space in a top anything list for electronica. It just sucks. I imagine the dj of this group engenieering the first song and feeling like that was going ti be a mindblowing intro when in fact I almost blew my brains not to keep listening to that crap. Id give this album a 0 stars
Snore-bital Poo
I appreciate that it takes all kinds of music to make the world go round, but this was utter garbage! Didn’t make it past Where Time Becomes a Loop, over and over again!
479/1001 🌗🌑🌑🌑🌑
Not my genre
The one thing I dislike more than concept albums is bullshit electronica records
I did not like this album. Repetitive and annoying at parts. Feels like something a 10 year old could have made with a mixing app.
NOPE
First album in this challenge I have not been able to listen all the way through 😵💫
Well. It's an album. Did it deserve inclusion? Nope. But, the author thought otherwise, so there we go. A thoroughly unenjoyable listening experience.
Just not my jam. Some of it was catchy but it was too repetitive to be interesting.
Where tolerance becomes a loop Where tolerance becomes a loop Where tolerance becomes a loop Where tolerance becomes a loop Where… Input translation: tolerance not achieved…
Yeaaaaaah, that’s a no for me dawg.
👎
Almost had a panic attack listening to “Where Time Becomes a Loop” on the subway to work this morning. Like yes work is stupid and repetitive and maybe I just shouldn’t go anymore? Anyway, after that it became the soundtrack to a future Blade Runner remake set in India.
Electronic garbage.
Wow, this is incredibly repetitive and unbearably boring. I can usually find something worthwhile in every album, but I had a hard time finishing this one.
I don't get starting and ending your record with annoying repetition. Yeah, let's rate this sandwich filling when it's on the stalest of wonder bread. I didn't know wonder bread could even get that stale. As for the filling, I still don't know what I'm supposed to do with a techno album. Am I supposed to have a dance party at home? Am I supposed to do drugs to it by myself? Or is it just a promo for a show? If so, who buys this? Is this background music for people? Does anybody actively listen to this by themselves? I get raving to some of these tracks. I don't get putting this in a CD player and consuming it end to end. Maybe I don't do enough drugs or go to enough house parties.
I just couldn't get through more than one track on this one. Each attempt to do more was met with a skip button or my headphones coming off in frustration.
I think the title "Halcyon + ON + ON" describes this album perfectly. You're happy for about 20 seconds then the song manages to drag on for another 5 minutes. Orbital is a sick band name. Too bad this is terrible. The music isn't even really all that danceable so why is it considered a great dance album?
Spécial… pas sûre d’apprécier
I’d rather listen to AI slop, garbage music, than this.
Anaemic techno made only a year after The Prodigy dropped their seminal debut Experience, which may be an unfair comparison, but as far as electronic music goes that record was light years ahead and tons more interesting. This just feels super light-weight and bereft of ideas.
No
Hated it
Honestly I struggle to justify either a 1 or 5 rating generally, but I just don't get this one. Every song sounds the same and there's such little variation. This is background music in a store.
Nothing on the album stood out to me. I believe the 90s rave music has its place, but it's not for me. Mostly it bothered me that some tracks had to have the volume all the way max to even hear them. I can recognize that Orbital was likely influential in their genre, but didn't enjoy this one.
Nmg
Next time I’ll just put a stethoscope against an outdoor transformer
I guess I have a hard time believing anyone would actually listen to this album. It might work as rave music, or as background music, but other than that? Definitely an album I won't listen to again.
Listened to the first track. Couldn’t take it…
Have am ens done commercial flop in my life and I will be
No. 1.4.
I’ve never really dabbled in recreational drugs. Whilst I think recreational drugs would have made this album much more enjoyable I think the come down of realising I enjoyed this hot pile of shit would be worse than the high.
sounds like 90's 2D videogame music. The songs are way too long
wtf
Nope. Really didn't like this. So tired of electronic music. It's so repetitive and boring.
*1993 English electronic album. *Good for coffee shop background music, but that's about it. *Just sounded like a DJ practicing. No real ebbs or flows - just the same sound on each track. RATING - 3/10
Just a bunch of noise
There’s a time and place for a rave, today wasn’t one. I might get with this on 1 of any given 5 days.
Not a big fan of the electronic sounds, too basic
Enough with this electronic bogus!!! I don’t want to do it anymore!!
Nope. Do not dig this.
Can’t say I liked this one very much. The whole album was a too conceptual, abstract, and repetitive for my taste but that doesn’t make it bad. The band was certainly doing something different from what was popular and, based on the little I know about electronic music, doing it pretty well. It was a weird album to start this journey with.
Für mich nur irgendwelche Geräusche. Konnte dem Ganzen nichts abgewinnen.
Bad. Bad, not good. OH that's where they got the name from.
What in the actual fuck is this??? They can Orbit around deez nutz!
I saw the cover and immediately knew it was going to be more random Brit-electro dance music that was on in the background of annoying dance clubs in the '90's. How do these albums keep getting added to this list? Side note, was this sort of cover art and font the stock for albums in the '90's? I feel like it was used a lot.
I think that this is not for me. It’s too scientific and repetitive. It’s like annoying and irritating.
Good as background music or if you want to find sleep.
I hate this type of electronic music.
More electronic garbage sausage.
That was a hard one. Samples are weird, and it’s missing dynamics. I now know what wa a the use of the special sound effects vinyls found during crate digging… he used the car horn section generously on one of them songs. I laughed!
ABURRRRIIIDOOOOO
Why is this on this list?
Shitty rave music.
Does this guy get paid something every time he recommends an electronica album? How many more of these shi**y albums must we try to endure?
Couldn't do the entire album. If any genre is susceptible to becoming obsolete its electronica/techno. These synth they're using just sound fucking awful. Its also not old enough to justify IMO. They definitely had access to better shit and just chose these cheap sounds and made boring songs with them.
Didn’t do much for me. I poked around on their other top songs. It’s actually a pretty nice listen - Belfast, Chime - but an hour of this is kind of brutal. Give us more BANDS.
Lol! Yes! Mortal Kombat! Oh that took me back. Well besides that little surprise, this was a total grind. It's been a while since I gave a 1, it was just a matter of time. No disrespect electronica but not my thing.
I had an ex girlfriend who had a saying, that was maybe sort of mean but she thought it was nice, which was "Cute for someone" meaning hey this person is not attractive to me but I'm sure could be for someone. That's kind of how I feel about Orbital 2. It's a 5 for someone!
Techno for the sake of techno. As the album drives on and one “song” blends into the next I find myself as fatigued as I would be if I were dancing to this music in a dark club and my energy were waning. By the final tracks I’m just wondering if we can skip ahead to the part where we eat shitty food and go home.
Awful
hate this (but the album's cover's cool ig?)
Electronica is just tough for me. This was a long and difficult album to get through. Started to give me a headache. No more electronica.
1.5 My first listen to this album came right on the heels of a massive Spotify outage, so when I initially heard the first song, I assumed there must be something still wrong with the platform. Nope, as it turns out, it really is just two minutes of a dude repeating “Where time becomes a loop”. Somehow, the album doesn’t get much better from there. I genuinely try to keep an open mind with every new entry on this list, but as someone who isn’t really into club techno, this gave me nothing new to appreciate about the genre at all. Most of these songs are annoying, too long, and just assaulting on the senses, and not in a fun, punk rock kind of way that gets you amped up - pissed off maybe, but not in a way that I think was intended. I was constantly having to throttle the volume down on this while listening, not just for my benefit, but also my neighbors', and as a result, I was over this pretty quickly. There’s one bright spot on this album, if you can even call it that (“dimly lit” may be more accurate), and that’s Halcyon + On + On. It’s certainly not great by any means, but it’s by far the most tolerable track, and I’d even go as far as to admit that it has a bit of an angelic, ethereal quality that might work for me at the right time and place - however, today was not that. Appropriately, this album is also commonly referred to as “The Brown Album”, presumably because it’s shit. Maybe it’s fun if you’re in the club and on molly, but I don’t see this becoming a part of my Wednesday musical rotation anytime soon. Also, wtf is on the album cover? Are those kidneys??
Just a big bag of NOPE
I cannot express how annoying the intro and outro songs of this album were to me. And I did not care for the rest either.
Shit
Very few albums of this genre stand up to listening as a whole because it's, by it's nature, repetitive and better suited to dance to than to listen to on the commute into work. This is not one of those few albums. It's a long old 65 minutes, with only a couple of tracks standing out as worthwhile listens now (and even they are too long). Maybe this was revolutionary at the time, but somehow by 1993 I doubt it.
Such run of the mill electronic music. Sounds like bad video game music. How is this on this list? Makes me question the value of this list.
I’m 72 albums in and this is the first one where I seriously considered not seeing it through to the bitter end. It just bored me.
Lol. The only thing worse than the hip hop albums on this list is the electronica
Repetitive. Unimaginative. Boring.
Far too repetitive to be anything but annoying. I’m not on MDMA, so this was not enjoyable at all.
It sounds like 2 computers competing
I'm always impressed by how bad an album can be. This one is absolute crap. There's really nothing more to say.
Awful. Need to be super high to tolerate this
Boring
Oh look, another electro album that is boring and puts me to sleep. That's like 3 this week. When will it end? I've had like 1 jazz album can we please put something new on here? 2/10
Like a screensaver from a 1990s PC came to life and became a DJ. The repetition is too much for me.
Вщ не выкупил
Fairly heinous stuff. Actively sounds as if it’s trying to be headache inducing. At least I’ve never heard of this album or the artist, which means the masses have forgotten its existence. Swear to god, whoever made this list has a special hard on for electronic music. I think it’s actually impossible to defend this album without seeming pretentious. A quote from the second track strikes me as ironic. “Even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day”. Makes me think of whoever made this. Even someone just fucking around (and I really mean fucking around) in the studio can create something that resembles a song. These things on this ‘album’ resemble songs, but, reader, do not be fooled. They are actually experiments in sound. What’s the difference, you may or may not be wondering? A song is music. This is annoying. And another thing. If you’re going to fuck around in the studio and make ‘songs’ (experiments in sound), at least have the courtesy of keeping it short. This is over an hour. This is a one star for me. Pretty easy one star. 1/5
1/5
edm early 2000’s - seemed simple,
Pants
Techno I know I can't stand
Mortal Kombat music for gym bros.
Electronic music. Predominantly instrumental.
Not my thing.
Starts out nowhere and then quickly does more of the same. Someone should tell them that having a drum machine, synthesizer and a computer doesn't mean you're a musician. Brian Eno proved years ago that you can make brilliant music this way. But obviously it isn't a given.
Well it's certainly electronic music. I'm sure I'd enjoy hearing the songs at a rave individually, but as a whole album listen, it's hard to not get bored.
Бля ну это какая то космическая шелуха
Meh
Trash
The deeper I get into this project, I understand that I'm a closed minded prick and I love it...
Not terrible... but definitely not a genre I can sit and listen to a whole album in one go. Bored to tears.
Mayonnaise music
I was trying to give this album the benefit of the doubt thinking that it just hasn't aged well but really I think this was bad when it first came out. The first track just sets the tone, "time becomes a loop" just looped... I mean really?! I love electronic music but this is just hot doo doo.
Horrible techno. Almost unlistenable at times. Didn’t finish the album.
Not a lot going on with this one
Not as bad as snivilization. Still unlistenable!
This gave me vertigo 1/5
Very typical techno, call me a snob but I don't hear much musicality going on. It's a pretty awful listening experience actually, especially in the cold light of day. Maybe you had to "be there" in every sense.
The incessant use of soundbite loops got very irritating. By the time the album got interesting I was already too disinterested.
Fuck off - Kevin and Perry Go Large without the jokes
Where shit becomes poop.
do not understand how anyone can listen to this thru the whole album
As bad as this is it's just more of a waste of time.
Aaaaaaaand done.
Reminiscent of a 90s video game soundtrack. Only made it halfway through the album before giving up. Why is this significant enough to be on the list?
Not my scene, just background musak. nothing here to get me interested.
not for me
I have seen a comment saying that Orbital belongs to the big trio of electronic music, together with The Prodigy. I hope that was the first an last time, that someone put those two bands together in one sentence. Orbital orbits the wrong star, I'm afraid.
How is this on this list. Just a bunch of random sounds on an obnoxious drum beat.
Just noise how can anyone like this would give 0 stars if I could
The first and final songs were torturous. It felt like something they would subject prisoners to in Guantanamo Bay. All the 'songs' inbetween were a collection of irritating and repetitive noises. How could anyone enjoy this?
la electrónica debe ser lo peor que nos pasó como sociedad
Elevator music
This is straight dog water
I think I just don't really like electronica
This is a waste of time.
Beep Boop Beep Boop
Music like this is so boring, utterly forgettable
nope
these fucking guys again!?
Annoying, simply horrible, grating on my nerves.
I like electronica/tech/beats in general and dislike this specifically. Whole album just blurs into one, the kind of background music at a bar/club in a vampire movie.
Got pissed off with this quite quickly. Not as clever as it thinks it is.
This hurt my head.
Ya I could set up a sequencer and record an album of 💩 like this, but I have mercy.
Zzzzzzz
A very strange album. Did not notice and music, just noise
Why do I get stuff like this the day after a 5 star album? This? Dread. Detest. Abhor. Hate. Despise. Confirms that I HATE electronica.
Electronic music in the 90s really had some brutal stages. This was quite awful as an album to sit through. Time is a loop. Yikes. The only thing this album would be good for is listening while trying to zone out or play video games. But to listen to. No thanks. 2.4/10
der elektr. Kram ist nix für mich
Repetitive electronica crap.
Nou sorry maar het is praktisch allemaal hetzelfde, maakt me nerveus
Not quite sure how this can be called music. As bad as throbbing gristle 2/10
id kill myself if i had to listen to this whole album.
Trash
shit
Pleasant enough mechanised background music, but there was nothing to latch in to here. I suspect it makes more sense in a chemically-enhanced state, but it is veering into library music by the time you get to 'Monday'. It lacks soul.
Nah.
No!
Hier val ik dus echt bij in slaap. Tracks van tien minuten zonder enige vorm van variatie, waarom? Als het dan toch zo achterlijk lang moet duren, heb ik liever George Harrison en Eric Clapton die staan te improviseren of zo. Niet dit soort beresaai gehakketak.
A skipping record…wonderful.
I am soooo not impressed. It’s just not good.
What a silly album. Just fun noise. Glad they are popular somewhere, but this is not one of the best 1000 albums made.
Couldn't do it
More of this electronic bullshit…
I walk into a club. I hear this music. I walk out
No thank you.
I legitimately never thought I'd find a genre that I dislike more than country, and then this project showed me EDM. Maybe I'd like it more if every song was 2 minutes instead of 8+? Monumental waste of time and incredibly boring
NO.
Didn’t finish. I think drugs are needed to enjoy this
Nope
Thank for the headache.
This is not music
Terrible.
what the fuck was this
They get another 1 just for Snivilation
I cannot listen to this. Skipped every song. For me, this is bullshit. 0/5
I absolutely didn't like this one. I'm not really into electronic music, but I like some things. But this... it may work on a rave or something like that, a live setting. But on a record, it just doesn't work. Like some other albums I really don't understand, why this one is included on this list.
30 minutes in and it feels like I'm listening to the same song over and over again. Not for me. 1.5 stars
This felt like I was inside someone else’s acid trip and not in a good way
The Brown Album. Shit is brown. I know why we must listen to this, because there isn't a word that explains something that is too dull to be boring. So we need a literal example. Why did this dull duo get TWO albums in this list?
Nope. Video game background music. Not an album. I’d give it a zero if I could.
Don’t like electronic
This is the worst genre, and the worst album in the genre (so far anyway). I actually hated it. 0 stars
Terrible
Awful. Way too much EDM on here anyway, but this was the absolute worst. Generic repetitive nonsense. I get why some EDM is here but not this. There is no way this was groundbreaking or unique. Complete ass.
Yeah this wasn't my cup of tea really at all. It's aight, kinda just sounds like someone's unfinished beats they decided to publish.
🤨
