Despite making the worst possible first impression with its lead single (get ready for more AI discourse! ugh), everything else on this newest Orb album aside from that one track turned out to be much better than I expected, focusing primarily on my actual favorite parts of their previous two albums with lots of well-flowing spacey dance jams.

Going slightly off-format (though less off-format than youd think) to talk about some modern classical music and the minimalist movement, and one of the most mainstream-successful projects from this well-acclaimed 20th-century composer which I think is very nice.
