Orbital, true to their name, have floated free from most of electronic music's conventions -- they make strikingly blissful techno that's just tough enough. The group, a duo of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll, has said The Blue Album will be its last record, and it's leaving on a high note. The centerpiece is "You Lot": It features a theatrical monologue on the dangers of genetic engineering, which dramatically sets up the track's sweeping, swooping melody. It's intellectual, yet it freaks like a bunch of caffeinated monkeys. Orbital have always made music for both head and heart. They will be missed.
