"ORANG is a labor of love studio project from ex-Talk Talk members Lee Harris and Paul Webb. Each plays numerous intruments of all sorts, and there are plenty of guest contributors adding bits i.e.: Beth Gibbons, Matt Johnson and others.It's extremely difficult to describe the music here, they are not so much songs as pieces. Each piece is a stirring soundscape
Each track is involved, exotic, more timeless than contemporary.
Brings to my minds ear pictures of a undiscovered tribal-like country of natives, caves, brush, waterfalls, heiroglyphics, and ...?Some people will love this album, others won't see the point for it's existance. Some of it is calming and relieving other parts are frantic and tempest-like. The overall instrumentation and feel is more organic than digital/electronic.Of the two ORANG albums, I like this one just slightly more, but they are both excellent, yet very esoteric works."

Excellent release from former Talk Talk band members
