Nope
Annoying electro, babble
Oh my God, weirdness out of control.
When this came out, I was already deep into Autechre, Aphex Twin/Polygon Window and Coil. This as wimpy compared to that. Still is.
Drugs necessary.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Nope. Nope nope nope.
Artistic but not my jam
Boring.
insufferable: i wish i could give it 0.
This was painful to put myself through. I like electronic music. But man, this one just went on and on and on, it was so repetitive with nothing interesting going on. Half the time the thing that was being repeated is just annoying to listen to anyway. I was so relieved at one point when I noticed there were only two songs left to listen to. But you can imagine my disappointment when I realized that those two were 15 minutes and 11 minutes long respectively. Nearly 30 more minutes of uninteresting and sometimes unbearable music. Awful. Absolutely awful. But at least it was *sometimes* good. Very rarely. 2/10 Top 2: 1. Forever 2. Quality Seconds
WOrld leader speaking sitten kustaanpäälle... Hyvä ensimmäinen biisi.. Toinen biisi.. Sirkus vanha ääni edelleen.. kummallisuuksia ihmisille selittävä.. kehottaa katsojia KATSOMAAN!! tämän voi ajatella kuin vertauskuva metaforia herra musiikintekiä haluaa meidän katsovan musiikkia jonka aikoo esittää.. Sitten itse musiikkia muljutetaan menemään ääntä kuuntelijaan.. IDM... EDM... kirjaimen VISSI ero!!! Tämä albumi saa järkeä ja ÄLYKKYYYTTÄ kuuntelijaan sen verran tykytettyä 1h 15 min ettei kuuntelija heh vahingossa kuuntele uudestaan.. Musiikki konsepti albumi tästä.. Kuuntelet merkitsemättömiä ääniä joille on hankala tanssia.. ei toimi EDM... IDM.. heh toimii siis.. siitä +1 star... Tulet hetki hetkeltä viisaammaksi.. Noh ei nyt saatana oteta +1... No dilution of ratings.. Objection and love.. Dont buy warrants unesessary dilution of stlck dont do it.. buy options.. good no dilution.. short with 15x leverage tsmc..
The budget of a lot of countries couldn't afford the amount of acid necessary to make this an enjoyable experience.
Y'all are tryna make me hate electronic music or something and I do not appreciate it. Put this one back in the 90s.
No thanks.
Bleep bloop. Nope. Dont like this!
I thought I liked Orbital, I didn't like this.
Normally love low fi music and it helps me focus but honestly couldn’t do it today. Might be the caffeine, but my anxiety was hightened listening to this album. Ultimately many of the notes put me on edge. I know that this is a me problem… but there’s just some lowfi/house music that sets my brain off this way. Not a big fan.
A load of crap
Did not like. Peu de paroles quasi que des sons un peu electro calme. Même pas réussi à finir l'album
Album qui n’est pas dans mon style, et ne le deviendra pas. J’aime bien les sons ambiants et atmosphériques mais la c’est trop.
Repeative beats, Techo club
Horrible. Barely more enjoyable than the sound of Stevie grinding metal at work. Really hoped they would turn into a Metallica tribute act when I saw Sad but True. Not enough words and too many weird noises for me.
Nope
FO. Fuck Orbital.
trash 🗑️
Bleep blort. I am techno music from the 90s. I think I am futuristic and cool. Dee deet blort. I make a bunch of noise that I think is music. This is how I recycle garbage. It sucks. 1.4/10
I can’t believe how many of these albums this list continues to include.
Absoluut niet mijn genre. Sommige nummers waren wel oké als achtergrondmuziekje, maar andere waren zelfs dan irritant voor mij
I set the expectations bar low and this proved twice as boring as the worst electronica. I was driving ffs! While waiting at the lights I started nodding off.
68 of 1001 Snivilisation - Orbital Favorite Track : NONE Rating : 1/5 More electronic "music". Not for me. This is just sounds. It can't even be classified as music.
Hipster hotel lift music. Apart from - ahem - Quality Seconds, which sounds like someone sat on the sequencer. Terrible cover artwork, too.
This makes more sense hearing it in a field rather than sat at home streaming through the AirPods. Even then I'd need some pretty strong drugs to get through this shit at 3am in the morning. If it wasn't for the GUSHING of the techno fan boys, this could quite easily be a mixtape from a dodgy early '90s pirate station.
I'm not that into electronic music, unless its Ronald Jenkees, but I'm surprised this was on the list because I found it fairly boring. Was okay as background music I guess, but I can't say anything good about it.
video game soundtrack ngl skippable
3 1 stars in a row. Save me. I just had this "band" a recently and here we are again. Was there a third? Maybe. It probably sucked too. I could barely limp through this. Please, no more of this stuff. I know there's electronic music that I enjoy, some a great deal, this isn't it. This is the worst.
I like electronica and it’s one of the highest rated genres for me on this generator, but I couldn’t finish this album. I also really like “Halcyon and On and On”, their most famous song, so I probably just like the commercial stuff, but this was just too long and boring for me. I don’t understand the appeal of this at all.
music to eat 20 benadryl and robotrip to i'm on track 6 and it started becoming insufferable to listen to about 3 tracks ago I made it to Kein Trink Wasser and have never been so relieved to hear normal piano sounds aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there are the wubs again, ok that was maybe the one decent song so far, kind of a bop, despite the wubs genuinely a miserable listening experience from front to back, there is not a person on the planet who i would recommend this to, actually fried my brain, i am stubborn enough to listen to the entire thing, but no one else should, whoever decided this should be on the 1001 albums before you die list must have meant for it to serve as a point of comparison against the midtles (the beatles) yeah hey jude is not that bad now, the sun will shine a little brighter tomorrow maybe now that I have experienced this
No, man. I’m sure that they’re excellent live, but I felt bored. I wanted to like it.
The average track length is 7 and a half minutes. God, fuck the 90s sometimes.
Yeah I’m not listening to this😸
1.5
Just don't like techno beats. Not for me.
I enjoyed nothing about this album
This is one of those records, for me, that shows that someone who isn’t that talented musically, but good with technology, can make a record and sell it as music. Nothing stood out, nothing wowed me, this could have been video game music for some children’s game.
Sticky hands will always be the coolest thing there is. 3 Ok the last song is absolutely unlistenable, fuck that 1
Edm
I tend to like instruments albums but this one didn’t do it for me. More annoyed while I listed than I thought.
Thank God that album is done. I must preface this by saying electronica/techno isn't my favourite music, but this album was very dull and almost painful to listen to. I am not one for long drawn out songs with no lyrics, I find I tend to loose focus. A few weeks ago I got the album Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield, which is two instrumental songs, ranging around 22 mins each, and that album managed to keep my interest because Mike kept changing tempos, and adding in layers of sound and different instruments. All Orbital did was maintain the same slow shuffling beat throughout the whole 1hr 15min album and changed up a few spacey sounds and bangs/pops. The vocal samples that are looped throughout the album sound like they were taped from late night documentaries and infomercials. Maybe if I was tripping on ecstasy I may be able to tolerate this droning nonsense, but I doubt it. Favourite song: if forced to pick one, Crash and Carry. It had a not bad beat (the first song to actually have one on the album), and it only droned on for 4mins Least favourite songs: Forever, I Wish I Had Duck Feet (the end of Forever, into the start of I Wish I Had Duck Feet there is this God awful wet rustling/rain sound that is awful to listen to), Philosophy by Numbers, Are We Here?, Attached 1/5
The worst kind of relentless album
Jesus fucking Christ, there is entirely TOO MUCH electronica on this bloody list. I really do feel like if you've heard one electronica record, you've heard them all. Why are there so many?!? I hate this.
First album to feel actively annoying
Too long and weird.
Honestly I hated it
Utter shite
С трудом дослушанный альбом. Серый как его обложка. Скучный как справочник по физике. Есть треки минут на 11-15, чья длина необоснованна. Не тот случай, когда за 15 минут композиции успеваешь прожить что-то. Новизна на момент релиза?! Спорная. В этом же году вышли альбомы у Nine Inch Nails и Prodigy. Не совсем корректное сравнение, но все же факт, что электронная музыка уже была развита к этому моменту. Кое-где звучание даже неплохое (или есть отдельные неплохие партии), но в единую картину для меня это не собралось. 2,4 из 10.
1/5 not my tunes at all
Are there any actual musicians here? This is just a bunch of repetitive sounds with some melody trying to peek through. I could have it on (very softly) as background music, but I wouldn't go out of my to listen to this style of music ever. It's soulless.
Not for me. Sounds like the electronic equivalent of elevator music. Tracks are too repetitive and not distinct enough to stand out
Música electrónica que no me gusta
In places this sounds like it was made on 'Music 2000' on the PlayStation 1. it is also unrelentingly dull and uninteresting. Just so, so boring. 75 minutes long too. Such a slog to get through. Urgh. To give some credit though, Orbital do have cool glasses. 1/5
Boo
Totally nothing special. Are these albums there only because they're Bri'ish?
Nope.
This is just not good. Like experimental techno music. 3/10.
unsettling repetitive noise. had physical symptoms of anxiety while listening. pass.
I couldn't get through the first three songs. Not my cup of tea.
Vaya basura de disco, no pinta nada en la lista.
ugh no not for me
Lo escucho poco canciones largas de tecno de las mejores quality second
It was just plain weird. It was very out there and used a ton of non-traditional sounds. Just didn’t work for me. A 1 maybe feels a bit harsh, but it’s closer to a 1 than a 2.
None for me thanks.
1.5 | Techno!!! TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO!!! Como por qué está este disco aquí? No entiendo de nuevo... incluso el otro disco de electrónica que ha tocado, a pesar de tampoco tener quiza tanto sentido en la lista, al menos proponía algo ligeramente distinto y era un genero no tan conocido. En este caso hay... un disco de EDM... largo como suelen ser, con música bastante bien hecha, pero bastante estándar. Canciones de receta para un rave que no proponen nada distinto, siendo que ya era 1994. Cumple su función supongo, lo escuche en la regadera y trabajando... fue música de fondo correcta que no impresiona en nada, algunos ritmos de trance bien hechos que si tuviera 20 años menos y más químicos serían buenos. El disco brilla ligeramente más cuando baja el ritmo y tiene un par de canciones tranquilas. Aun así nada que ver, nada que proponga y hay muchísima música electrónica que merece más la pena. Disco competente sin chiste.
En los últimos meses he estado escuchando metalstep, que para mi es música de videojuegos o de películas de acción y supuse que eso me haría apreciar la electrónica desde otra perspectiva. Sí y no. Sí, porque ya no es un cero automático de calificación y puedo ahora apreciar ciertos momentos. No, porque fuera de música de fondo o supongo que bailando, no le encuentro chiste. Buscando un poco de referencias encontré que esto es techno/ambient techno y he ahí mi respuesta. Ambient es música de fondo y no es lo mío (cof cof Eno cof cof) y techno, en palabras de un spot de radioactivo hace ya muchos años "it's repetitive, it's boring and it fucking sucks". Ha sido una racha complicada de discos y este no ayuda a la causa. Otro disco que no tengo al menos una canción que recomendar.
Early electronica. Not a fan
Electronisch spreekt mij niet echt aan, kan wel goed begrijpen wat mensen hier goed aan vinden
Aunque a veces puedes entrar en ambiente con la electrónica (más ahora que estoy en la playa) llegamos al punto de 'la electrónica es música de verdad?' No soy ajeno ya que anduve en raves y haciendole de DJ en algunas ocasiones pero al final del día son beats de bites, nunca he visto a un grupo de músicos tocar electrónica para grabar o en vivo
El lado interesante del disco es que viene de la época en la que los raves eran perseguidos por la policía y el disco intenta tener algo de protesta al respecto. Fuera de eso, definitivamente no es mi género ni mi estilo y la verdad es que ni en una fiesta llegué realmente a disfrutar este particular estilo de EDM.
Not a fan
I like my electronic music to sound like it was made by someone on 4 hits of acid and doesn’t know how to use traditional time signatures. (Aphex Twin).
One of those situations of what to do when the artist makes reasonable music but one of the members is an unethical scumbag. There’s enough other good art in the world so I choose to skip this.
Add notes(opshunal)…
