Atom Heart - Orange (monochrome stills)
Recorded and released in 1994, this is
certainly one of Atom Heart's classic
albums.
It can clearly be located in Atom's
"ambient" period, that may be seen as
the transition moment right in between
his club oriented works (1990-1993) and
the birth of his "rather interesting"
label (1994).
Without hesitation "Orange" can be
classified as an "ambient" album in the
most traditional sense, even though,
like always, Atom had given it a slight
twist, which made it simply a bit
different from what was out there in
1994 (and probably therefor makes it an
album that is still worth listening to
nowadays).
That said, Fax Records, which released
the album back in 1994, decided to
release this limited edition re-issue on
AW. Atom himself remastered the album
just recently which makes an even better
soundtrack of today.
"Orange" contains 5 tracks, all of them,
except for "Rainecho", can be described
as slowly moving, repetitive, abstract
textures and within themselves contain
different sections or "scenes". While
some tracks carry either a neutral or
positive feeling ("One Atomsecond")
others ("Ode to BG") are rather dark,
slightly hostile compositions that
remain us of Atom's "industrial" period
for example. "Rainecho" then, is the
only rhythmical track on this album
which perfectly fits within the
previously described abstract worlds of
"Orange" and just gives the entire album
the right flow.
