Title: Slap in the Face
Product review: Let me begin by saying that I am not a fan of "Greatest Hits" packages and compilations. I don't believe a band/artist's "hits" define their worth in the business. The Orbital duo deserve much, much higher accolades than a "budget-friendly" compilation of their well-known tracks.Orbital is an entity whose magic lies in the whole rather than the sum of its parts. Albums like "Snivilisation" and "InSides" are perfect examples of how an idea can be spread across a handful of tracks to make one hell of an album. How you feel after listening to "Snivilisation" versus "InSides" or the "Brown Album" can be starkly different. Different albums, different feel, etc.To mix and match tracks from their entire catalog and throw them together would be a sin. I didn't care for "Works" and I certainly don't care for this "Platinum Collection" either. Albums will always trump "best of" compliations. ESPECIALLY when the band or artist in question has made some of the most beautiful albums in history.
