Orbital returns with an up to par release. Halcyon takes the "la la" vocals from Opus III's It's A Fine Day and changes them into something a bit weirder, then mutates the theme in Orbital fashion for eleven minutes. The Naked and The Dead begins with a starting bongo that disappears into a housey vocal. Finally, Sunday is a bit harder than the rest, but less exciting.

Summary: 9/10. Orbital fans will lick this up, non-fans will most likely find it as more of the same.
