Orblivion

Rolling Stone (4/17/97, p.78) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...sparse melodies that swim through galactic pulses, sonar blips and assorted computer sounds. Beats drift in and out picking up intensity then dissipating like steam....somewhat akin to playing Nintendo while listening to the Cocteau Twins..."
Spin (5/97, pp.111-112) - 8 (out of 10) - "...combines wry apocalyptic signifying with a headful of refracted rhythms. It also takes Alex Paterson back to his dance-music roots....If the Chemical Brothers are the miscengenated spawn of DJ Kool Herc and the Ramones, Paterson owes his debt to Grandmaster Flash and electropop pioneers Perrey-Kingsley..."
Option (5-6/97, p.120) - "...the Orb's best studio LP since 1992's UFORB, it places it's emphasis on the elements that make the project shine..."
Down Beat (7/97, p.64) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...ORBLIVION focuses on what they do best: the elaborate construction and deconstruction of grooves.... sophisticated and inventive, but also playful."
Jazziz (8/97, p.75) - "...ORBLIVION is...a seamless 72-minute trip that evolves and transmutes....Dr. Alex Patterson and company are intent on re-arranging your psyche like a John Coltrane solo..."
