Snivilisation

Snivilisation is the angry Orbital record, sampled politics laid over the prettiest melodies they ever wrote. It's the sound of a group who could have coasted on euphoria choosing instead to make an argument, and the tension between the beauty and the fury is what gives it force. It sits at forty-eight because it's less consistent than their top-tier records, a couple of tracks serving the message more than the music, but the peaks stand with anything they made.
