Cool contrast between bass and flute/flute synth. "Psycho Harmony" (4:34) a more primal, worldly, David Sylvian-like groove (though, not uncommon to HolgerĬzukay, either) with Eastern percussives et al. "Phenomenon" (6:07) another kosmisches groove with some cool infinity guitar over the top-and dobro! (8.75/10)Ħ. "Shingle Robe" (7:17) very cinematic-and Australian Outback sounding. "Season of the Bitch" (9:32) great groove jam with sax and, later, wah-guitar soloing. "Dilectric" (7:30) groovin' with some aliens. MÜLLER and BITTNER are also regular members of the band SPACE INVADERSĪdditionally Dirk Jan MÜLLER is driving an electronics project named COSMIC GROUNDĭirk-Jan Müller and his band of Kosmisches groovemasters are back again with yet another highly engaging,Įnjoyable, and entertaining album release. Soon after second guitarist Josef AHNS left the band as well they decided to carry on as a quartet furthermore and once a year from now on a new album was produced, one of them including live recordings from Roadburn Festival in 2012. And then at the beginning of 2010 the band released the new production 'Krautrock From Hell' where the line up saw a change according to the drums while Silvio FRANOLI was substituted by Georg MONHEIM. In 2009 ELECTRIC ORANGE decided to offer the first DVD release 'Live On The Psychedelic Network Festival 2007' featuring a complete show from 2007 in Würzburg as well as other recordings from a period between 20. The song titles are often provided with funny and thought-provoking puns. Hereby they are keen on experimenting with all sorts of rare, obscure and vintage instruments.
The band offer an irresistible blend of hypnotic and tribal beats, soaring organ and synths, spacey guitars, recitatives, samples as well as analogue effects. The sound is decorated with cheerful electronic elements adapted from Tangerine Dream or Popol Vuh as well as provided with obsessional rhythms in the vein of Can or even Kraftwerk - all you might expect as significant for a contemporary krautrock sound. Besides some temporary flirts with house/techno elements the band actually delivers modern trippy krautrock adapted music, where Tom RÜCKWALD handles the bass guitar since the year 2000. Up to now both musicians had uncounted collaborations during their development and produced a huge amount of material on MC, Vinyl and CD-R. ELECTRIC ORANGE is a german neo krautrock band, mainly based on two masterminds Dirk Jan MÜLLER (keys) and Dirk BITTNER (guitar).
