Reviews
6 out of 10 - "...Orbit's ambitious ambientisation programme works well when it gives this music a sense of space and cinematic visions in your head....he's made a richly ambient, evocative record from apparently staid and stale old material...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...11 disparate...classical pieces from Beethoven to Henryk Gorecki done in vaguely ambient style....as with all the best indulgences, there's an all-pervading sense of joy and freedom...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...modernist lullabies for club babies....quite lovely, often mournful, generally unpretentious sweep of music you've never heard before properly...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...sweet and becalming....The pieces drift by, cloudlike, accented by wind chimes, the rush of helicopter blades and other effects....little curios for anyone who's interested in the process of reinvention - or in just chilling out.", "...a hypnotic suite of dreamlike mood pieces that....simply drift along with Orbit's mesmerizing flow....spinning variations on classical composer's themes...", "...paralleling the spacious, sprawling aaspects of classical music with the same characteristics of modern-day electronic/ambient music, Orbit makes a connection that is sublime and powerful...", "...a new-age take on European art music....The album's best piece is Orbit's interpretation of Beethoven's 'Triple Concerto'. It is blended with electric guitar, shimmering bells, funky beats and other sounds to create a rich, atmospheric collage...", "...well-chosen classical pieces....His pieces are mostly drawn from moderns such as Cage, Gorecki, Barber, Satie and Ravel, and work best when mined for their luxuriant melancholy...", 4 out of 5 - "...His ambient-electronic interpretations of immortal composers...reveal his true roots....His sensitive renditions...are both understated and instructive..."
