William Orbit’s original Pieces In A Modern Style, which featured synthed-up arrangements of popular classical works, was a rare switched-on album that brought something new to the genre.
And Ferry Corsten’s trance remix of Orbit’s Adagio for Strings arrangement was transformational – reimagining the somber piece as an upbeat dance track. Sacrilege!
Now Orbit is returning to the classics, with Pieces In A Modern Style 2. It’s an ambitious two disc set, featuring works Grieg, Faure, Bach, Tchaikovsky and others.
Here’s a preview of Orbit’s Pieces In A Modern Style 2:

The things you mentioned + using a joystick to select Ableton clips + the dumbass desktop wallpaper (on a CRT monitor?!) + the disgusting hovel + shitty generic music. This is a perfect video for preventing further sales of the Spectralis!
Yeah – the smoking next to $5,000 worth of gear is an immediate d-bag indicator.
Ouch! You guys are brutal – If it helps, nobody takes to me right away, but I am quite cool, I can assure you. Manfred Mann and Michael Jackson are "generic"?
You should check my other videos so you get a better idea as to what is actually going on. This is not the normal setting for this thing – There were issues getting it to follow the MIDI clock from the X Station, so I had it listening to a Beat Extractor for a few hours and it seemed to follow it, but I still need a decent MIDI clock device that will take the clock signal from the laptop (Ableton) and send out a good, solid MIDI signal, so if you want to direct any criticism in that direction, please do so. The problem is in the X Station. It does something to the MIDI clock signal from Ableton that the Spectralis won't recognize totally.
Where I come from the D-Bag title is generally reserved for those who make major judgement call about people they don't know from Adam, and as far as smoking around the Spectralis goes: The guy who invented the thing smokes like a train in his studio as well, and if I want tot smoke around all $35,000.00 worth of my gear or use it as a boat anchor, I will do what I want with it. I'll leave the world of being told how to live one's life according to others… to others.

Maybe there's a little jealousy about the hot gear……..
