Review
“The U.S. version of Orbital's debut album serves as a good primer to the
group's early history, including standard versions of the early singles
"Chime,” “Omen,” “Satan,” and “Midnight,” in addition to two
B-sides which showed Phil and Paul's first stab at varying their
Kraftwerk-inspired sound. “Belfast” (from the “Satan” single) is a warm,
mid-tempo synth track inspired by Depeche Mode; “Choice,” at the other
extreme, is an aggro-house piece with vocal samples (e.g., “Wake Up!”) that
recall socially conscious punks like Crass." J Bush – Allmusic.com
