Album is relaxing but mediocre

Music producers rarely get mainstream recognition, even if they are solo artists in their own right. Sure, everyone has heard of Babyface, but what about Howie B., who has produced music for U2 and Bj?¶rk? And who knows the name Butch Vig, who worked with Nirvana and is now a member of Garbage? Then there's William Orbit. When Madonna asked William Orbit to produce her Ray of Light album, you could scarcely mention Madonna's name without bringing up the man behind the music as well. Orbit went from being virtually unknown to a heavyweight in the music industry in just a few short months. While he is still continuing to collaborate with Madonna, he has also since produced music for Blur, All Saints, and most recently began working with rap-rockers Limp Bizkit. In the midst of all this, he has also worked on re-igniting his solo career. Orbit has now delivered his first album since his newfound fame, the ambitious project entitled Pieces in a Modern Style.
