Orbital "Orbital II" (AKA "Orbital" AKA "The Brown Album") (1993)
I almost thought the version that I'd found to stream online was some
kind of joke. It just seemed to be a looped recording of Worf from
Star Trek TNG eventually repeating the same 5 words over and over
again. Turns out that is legitimately the first track of the album.
The whole album is bookended by two spoken word tracks.
The rest of the album is loop-based music. Repetitive, yet quite
layered and melodic electronica. I can sometimes find the repetition in
electronic music to be uninteresting, but here it works to create a
musical trance that ensnares you and carries you along.
