As I haven't bought the Sun in years I wouldn't have seen this otherwise.

So cheers Steve.

So, where does it say the following - I've searched...?

But if you go to their website, it still says: “2004, the final year for Orbital.”

why damnit? doesn't that sound like we're in for some changes? or worried that it's not going to be as improvized?

No, it's not that. I think a computer will give even more room for improvisation and variations, which will be interesting and probably very nice. But the old machinery did have it's charm.

But the thing that bugs me the most is that i just explained to a friend why orbital was really live. She isn't really into electronic music (it's all done by computers etc...) So when i said that the music was all mixed live with sequencers, mixers, keyboards etc i had a strong point. And now my position has weakend in that argument. How am i going to explain now that it's still live?

On the plus side, they can't spell "February", so all is not lost! :lol:

I always hear the argument from people that all electronic musicians do is press buttons. To which I usually respond "& all a guitarist does is pluck a string, anyone could do that. Or perhaps I'm over simplifying things a bit?"

It gets a lot of them to at least rethink their standpoint.

Yeah, some people just don't get it :P
If someone plays a melody on a piano it's ok, but when they use a synth it's suddenly not real anymore.

I don't really care how you make the music, as long as it sounds good. It's not the physical work you put in, it's the choices you make to create the sound.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up my view on it too.

Lots of people are making soulless garbage music regardless of what instruments they're playing. It's the work, thought, creativity & message behind songs that matter to me.
