Análisis (en inglés) - :
Comprising recordings made just after 1997's {^Orblivion} (and subsequently trapped in major-label-restructuring limbo for nigh on three years), {^Cydonia} is a hodgepodge of {$Orb} styles and sounds, a quality production that nevertheless meanders too far and duplicates too many ideas first heard on {$Orb} records ten years in the past. Much of {^Cydonia} (the title is a reference to a region of Mars where astronauts reportedly found evidence of ancient civilization) aligns to the slightly spacey, slightly noisy {\dub} heard on {^Orblivion} and 1995's {^Orbus Terrarum}. Thankfully, the album also has the exquisite pacing and smooth transitions of the classic {^Orblivion} -- a spritely {\Indian dub} piece ({&"Promis"}) leads naturally into the lazy-day ambience of {&"Ghostdancing"} and on into {&"Turn It Down,"} a paranoid production with the conspiracy-theory airs of earlier {$Orb} work. Also, the trademarked {$Orb} sense of humor is in full effect on {&"Egnable,"} wherein an English-as-a-second-language instructor grows more and more confused (and incoherent) over carnival-music backing. As expected from the title, {&"A Mile Long Lump of Lard"} is another classic {$Orb} production, with plenty of thick, shuddering {\industrial} percussion. The biggest shock for longtime listeners is {$Dr. Alex Paterson}'s recruitment of two female vocalists ({$Aki Omori}, {$Nina Walsh}) for a pair of songs apiece. The opener, {&"Once More"} (led by {$Omori}), is a hazy {\electro-pop} number that brings {$the Orb} back to the sunny pastures of 1990s {&"Little Fluffy Clouds."} Despite a few interesting tracks though, {^Cydonia} suffers from a pronounced lack of imagination and focus: {$Paterson} is the only track-to-track constant in the production credits, and longtime co-producers {$Thomas Fehlmann} and {$Andy Hughes} make a few scattered appearances next to a parade of newer names. Despite a few tracks staking out some promising new territory merging {\pop}, {\trance}, and {\ambient-dub}, {^Cydonia} has few pleasures for the fans and not much to grab onto for those new to the band.
