As computer-synthesized voices cease their chatter, a groove comes from nowhere and takes you into the mystery world of Orbitronik. It's a place where anything can happen, at any time. Almost all tracks feature a real drum kit as well as machine-driven patterns and sampled percussion loops, allowing for the fading of one rhythmic element as another effortlessly takes its place.From the fertile minds of Brian Ladd and Scott Gibbons comes this work of electronic landscaping, one of the most intriguing to come along in a great while. With an impressive assortment of vintage analog synths, samplers, three Power Macintosh computers, and even a guitar(!), Orbitronik construct their music with precision and loving care. Nothing is wasted, no musical phrase left to wander aimlessly without a purpose. --Paul Clark
