Orbital - Optical Delusion. 17th February.

This is so bad.

The vocals aren't even the worst bit.

Cautiously somewhat optimistic about this one (not listening to the singles out already). One thing's for sure, the artwork reminds me of the lovely psychedelic kitsch of In Sides

As did the last album cover (and it's title). It all harks back to the era when they were at their peak, but unfortunately lacks anything anywhere near as good in terms of the strong, quality tunes they were putting out at that time.

I just watched the video all the way through. I take it all back. This is fucking hilarious. Crying. 

A tissue

A tissue

Aaaahahahahahahaha hahahahahah hahahahahah wtf

Seriously, this is fucking depressing!

Wtf Orbital!!

I'm going to listen to some Humanoid to calm my nerves!

Orbital doing an Orbital parody? IMHO their last consistently great album was from 1999 after that the albums got worse and worse with a standout track here and there, f.i. I really liked "Tiny Foldable Cities" from "Monsters Exist". But these new singles are truly scraping the barrel. Sad.

The video is somehow even more hilarious  than the music. I actually think this might be the funniest thing ever. Well done boys.

right?

I listened to his video while being high and i was laughing my ass off!

ill just pretend that was his real intent!

Rock City's just down the road from me, so I'll be going there.

Sleaford Mods will probably perform Dirty Rat with them.

Haven’t read this thread but I love that Sleaford Mods track I’ve heard on the radio lately. Just great. Obviously not in a chin/beard/cock stroking way. It just hits the spot mate. 

You dirty rat!!!! 

Anyone seen updates regarding the reissue campaign of back catalogue?

I've heard nothing new about that yet.

Dirty Rat... I like the song and I like Sleaford's voice. It's just that cringy old-man-yells-at-cloud politics and that dumb-ass video that make hairs of my neck stand up. If he was singing this in a language that I don't understand it would be fantastic.

Mentioned September of 2021:

“We’ve got a brand-new album coming next autumn after Thirtysomething. Then we’ll start a series of reissuing each album properly. I’m not sure what extras we’ll include yet, but tracks like the nine-minute Untitled, which was only ever on the cassette version of our first album, will find its way onto vinyl.”

^^ Nice, never heard or even knew about this one until you just mentioned it there:

The gated vocals that start at around 1:20 really remind me of something but I can't quite place what.

Cant believe I know exactly what I think you're talking about but...

One of my favorites trance tunes from my high school days.

This might be the original source?

Nice one, it was indeed that top track
