    Recaptures the formula that once, a decade ago, made them great. [Apr 2001, p.111]

    If you didnt get 'U.F.Orb' or 'Orblivion', this ain't going to change your mind. If youve never heard The Orb before, though, this is as good an introduction as any.

    Cydonia is a stillborn relic, flawed throughout by chronically stunted ambitions.
