In Sides
''In Sides'' is the fourth album by British electronic group Orbital, released in the UK on Internal on 29 April 1996.

''In Sides'' saw the band continue the process, begun on their previous album ''Snivilisation'', of moving away from making music for the rave scene towards more intricately crafted melodies and reflective, downtempo tracks. Gathering widespread acclaim not just from dance music magazines but also the UK's more traditional rock music papers such as ''NME'' and ''Melody Maker'', the album is considered by many reviewers and fans to be among Orbital's best work.
