Orbital: Wonky – review

Title aside, Orbital's first album in eight years doesn't induce the comeback cringe. It's that rare thing: a reunion album that's neither dated nor desperate. The 90s electronic titans use vintage analogue synths, subtly retro-fitting their sound in a way that, ironically, brings it bang up to date. Further mod cons include a sensational dubstep reading of live favourite " Satan " ("Beelzedub") and the deployment of Zola Jesus on the so-so "New France". "Wonky" comes with a kiss-off by MC Lady Leshurr , recalling Basement Jaxx for exuberance. In between, there's plenty of trademark liquid contemplation.
