Our Take

Orbital's latest offering, "Optical Delusions," is a sonic journey through the cosmos that will leave you questioning reality and reaching for the nearest glow stick. The legendary electronic duo, composed of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll, have once again proven why they are pioneers in the world of electronic music.

From the hypnotic opening track, "Black Hole," to the pulsating beats of "Quasar," Orbital take listeners on a wild ride through space and time. The duo's signature blend of intricate melodies, driving rhythms, and ethereal vocals create a truly otherworldly experience that is best appreciated with a pair of high-quality headphones and a strong cup of coffee (or your beverage of choice).

Standout tracks include the mesmerizing "Nebula Funk," which combines elements of funk and techno to create a truly unique sound, and the hauntingly beautiful "Dark Matter," which showcases Orbital's ability to mix dark, brooding beats with shimmering synths.

Overall, "Optical Delusions" is a triumph for Orbital, reminding us all why they are considered legends in the electronic music scene. So plug in, tune out, and let Orbital take you on a journey through the cosmos - you won't be disappointed.
