Topic: Snivilisation


In the News (Thu 17 Dec 09)

  
  Blue Skies Falling
Snivilisation represents the beginning and end of my Orbital albums, so I won't be writing about them for quite some time.
Snivilisation goes easier on the sound-bites than its forebears and the first song Forever begins with a synth-driven melody over a chorus of voices proclaiming on human suffering and human damnation.
Because the voice samples on Snivilisation are more extensive and deliberate than on earlier albums, they create the suggestion of a conversation, but more, the songs (like Crash and Carry) without vocals seem more machine-driven than they would have in earlier albums (where voices were just part of the progression).

In Russell Hoban's Riddley Walker, "snivilisation" is the post-literate word for "civilization." Orbital's metier is techno, the first post-literate kind of music-not in the sense that it's lost its capability to use words, but in the sense that it's used technology to move past verbal language.
Words appear from time to time on Snivilisation, but they're mixed so low you usually can't make them out: They're used for their sound, not their content, the same as Orbital uses any other kind of noise.
When Orbital abandons beats altogether (as on long parts of the closing epic "Attached," a sequel of sorts to the earlier "Semi-Detached"), the rest of the track is often so richly layered that it's difficult to notice.

 Mike's Blog: Orbital - Snivilisation
The problem with Snivilisation is that it's not much when it comes to individual tracks.
This was more passable in the days where CDs were the be all and end all, but now many of us have well over 2000 songs on a device the size of a wallet and when we have it on shuffle, we get random tracks flying all over the place.
So having decided at some point during my delays at the station that Snivilisation should get a chance, I was pleasantly surprised.

 Snivilisation - Orbital - Music Records Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
To a large extent they have cojoled previously disinterested individuals into believing that with a bit of imagination, anything is possible, even within the realms of a genre prone to large-scale anonymity.
Snivilisation is wrapped in a grey cover with an oh so clumsy animation that hides the fact that on the inside there is music on a grand scale.
It is hard to beat 'Forever' as an opener, flitting as it does between cool keyboard strokes and fluid spacey noises.

 Amazon.com: Reviews for Snivilisation: Music: Orbital   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In 1998 I purchased Snivilisation, In Sides, and a handful of other seminal electronica albums, little knowing that I would spend the next five years searching for a musical experience as fulfilling as Orbital's best work.
So I pulled out Snivilization again, only to be reminded anew of how stunning it is, and how it makes most of the work by others in the field seem peurile by comparison.
When I found 'Snivilization', I noticed on the back a song "Sad But True", which I listened to and as I suspected before purchase was the original version that "Sad But New" was mixed from.

with the bar set high due to previous successes, the hartnolls' released their third album, 'snivilisation,' which entered high in the english charts.
'snivilisation' was a slight change in progression for the band, but orbital found a way to combine the terror-ific beats with its angelic sampling and tender keyboard rhythms.
'in sides' picks up on where 'snivilisation' left off by taking the listeners on a new journey.

 Snivilisation by Orbital CD
But their piece de resistance is the brilliant SNIVILISATION, an album that thumbs its nose at the rave establishment with a fiercely experimental attitude.
One look at the Bosch-like androids reposing amid the CD jacket's kitsch planetoid ruins any assumption that this is just a "techno" record.

 Orbital- Snivilisation, Select Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It's modern electronic music using the studio as a compositional tool- how's that for a sexy movement title, New Wave Of New Wave!- and 'Snivilisation' is as wonderful an example of it as you're going to hear at present.
Orbital were always deeper than that, but 'Snivilisation' marches on from what has gone previously.
The title refers to an assumed condition of life in the modern world, an illusory state of civilisation that masks the domination of a vicious and corrupt ruling class.

 Orbital - Snivilisation ( 1994) | The iHigh.com Network   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Their first two major releases, both self-titled, have become classics but didn't make much of a splash at the time.
The album is a jab at the world, at least the Western world, making known the lack of confidence Orbital has (or had) for any kind of future in this culture.
And that is an art that will surely survive the passage of time and should remain even when this Snivilisation finally does die out.

Snivilisation: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more
The political commentary inherent in 1994's Snivilization extended even to the Top 30 single "Are We Here?," whose criminal justice bill mix voiced Phil and Paul's concern over what the bill might lead to -- silence.
The shuffling, quasi-Eastern jungle rhythms of "Are We Here?," a beautiful piano run to begin "Kein Trink Wasser," and the glorious ambient climax "Attached" also reflect the fact that Snivilization is Orbital 's most varied LP.

 Orbital- Snivilisation, Tobias Peggs Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A lot has been made of the society conscious vein flowing through 'Snivilisation'.
Interviewers have forced the Hartnoll brothers to produce 'society's gotta change' sound bites and heralded their left-field stance.
Critical scrutiny on a 'proper album' as opposed to a 'collection of tracks' (a criticism levelled at the previous 'Green' and 'Brown' albums) has tended to bypass the important issue.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : Orbital
I personally rate Snivilisation as their most average LP.
It seems a logical continuation of the sound of 'Snivilisation' but as the title suggests, minus the techno philosophical paranoia and with a little more beach and sunshine!
The album lacks the smooth transitions, track to track that made 'Snivilisation' such an enjoyable listen from beginning to end.
