Orbital became one of the biggest names in techno during the mid-'90s by solving the irreconcilable differences previously inherent in the genre: to stay true to the dance underground and, at the same time, force entry into the rock arena, where an album functions as an artistic statement -- not a collection of singles -- and a band's prowess is demonstrated by the actual performance of live
Asian sounding synths, great beats, great vocals. Luckily, the single holds up. The Who Are They? mix is like a different version of the last half of the album mix, with some new bits and pieces added in. The Do They Here? mix is very menacing-sounding, with the drums being all chopped up. I didn't care much for the They Did It mix (and since it's wasn't done by Orbital, that's ok). The big surprise is the What Was That? mix, which is like a very relaxes and happy version, without most of the beats. The Criminal Justice Bill is a reference to a law that they tried to pass in England during the early 90's that tried to outlaw repetitive music and gatherings of more than 10 people with loud music without a permit (it was aimed mostly at raves, as many people didn't understand what went on, and assumed it was all drug-taking and freaking out). As a result, a Criminal Justice techno song would be short and quiet, and so the Crminal Justice Bill mix is 4 minutes of slience. The Industry Standard Version is a radio edit, but I noticed some vocal lines that don't appear on any other versions. This is definitely a must for Orbital fans.
