It goes to extremes to avoid the hooks of their early work, and there's barely even a hint of dance beats. When they do appear, they're mutated, bassy, ​​more to pass through the body than to move to. Considered as music to "listen to," it's mostly pretty dull (though the 17-minute "Slug Dub" is worthy of the Augustus Pablo records and stoned achievements that inspired it). But then Orbus isn't meant to reward attention--it's an album to sit down and dream to. --Douglas Wolk
