Released by: Pink Hampster Recordings
Source: CD
Orchid-Star's debut, "Birth”, released on
Liquid Sound in 2008 along with ‘reBirth’ - remixes by Youth,
Tripswitch, Kuba, Subsonar and band leader Pete Ardron is regarded by
many as a psychedelic chill classic. Its follow-up "Faster” retains all
the trademarks of the first but is a significant progression. It still
takes the listener to exotic, mysterious places but this time the live
element, both instrumentally and vocally, and the personalities of those
involved, are altogether more obvious. Living up to its name it is as
much a treat to dance to as to listen - a joyful and passionate
celebration of life and spirit.
Psychedelic world-fusion - Indian, Irish, African, Latin, Middle
Eastern, Balkan Gypsy – driven by a mix of DnB, trance, progressive,
funk, dub, ska with just the occasional downtempo groove, wrapped in a
rich and vibrant orchestral-like production. Atmospheric and visually
charged throughout, it's a seductive piece of work, which grows on you
with each listen
