<br>BTW, You have to respect Orbital for bowing out when they did. Their sound was getting stagnant and it's nice to see someone not trying to milk it for all they can get (unlike certain 80s artists).

So what exactly was their story? I thought 2004's Blue was a pretty good album. Did they really bow out from magnanimous virtue or because Britain seems consumed in a wave of guitar pop again? It's only been about a year and a half. I wouldn't be surprised to see them return half a decade later when the tide swings back.
As for the 80s hangers-on, I kinda know what you're saying, but to me, they're all like old lovers. Yeah, the relationship might not be as fresh as it used to be, some of the heat is gone, there's plenty of wrinkles, we complain and bicker and know we're inevitably spiraling downward. But fuck it! I'm gonna enjoy the last hurrahs as long as I can. Echo & the Bunnymen, Heaven 17, New Order (surprise!), D-Mode, Kraftwerk, Morrissey...they've all released good, fun material the last couple of years. I still enjoy getting jacked up for them as well as the new bands.
