Round and round again

Article Abstract:

Dance music group Orbital, made up of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll, has released its fifth album, entitled 'The Middle of Nowhere.' The group's electronic music attracted considerable attention in the late 1980s, but some critics feel that this music has failed to progress and now lacks interest. In fact, the new album shows moves in a number of new musical directions. 'Style,' the first single from the album, has a vocal sample from early-1980s pop group Dollar.
