███▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ - RELEASE NOTES - ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███
█░ ░█
█░ "THE ROOTS OF ORCHIS are a group of musicians who are a ░█
█░ few steps ahead of the pack. While most of their high school ░█
█░ friends were twiddling around with hardcore punk music in ░█
█░ the mid-90s, they were experimenting with drum machines, ░█
█░ synthesizers and multiple basses. What began as the desire ░█
█░ to make "weird" music without vocals, turned into an ░█
█░ exciting new band. While their early influences are fairly ░█
█░ obvious (jazz, dub, early post-rock), they have quickly ░█
█░ developed into a group that has a sound of their own, one ░█
█░ which continues to evolve with each progressive release. ░█
█░ . . . ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Their third album, Some Things Plural, was recorded with ░█
█░ prominent engineer Rafter Roberts, and was released in ░█
█░ February 2002. THE ROOTS OF ORCHIS have definitely come up ░█
█░ with their most mature album. Some Things Plural is a ░█
█░ combination of beautiful electronic sounds and live ░█
█░ instrumentation. They use turntables, analog synths, drum ░█
█░ programming and samples, along with jazz-inspired drums, ░█
█░ multiple basses, and minimal guitars, breaching the ░█
█░ boundaries between avant rock, instrumental hip-hop, and ░█
█░ IDM." -Slowdance.com blip ░█
█░ ░█
█░ "On Roots of Orchis' 2002 offering, Some Things Plural, ░█
█░ they've finally hit their stride, and the result is enough ░█
█░ to make anyone who witnessed the band's earlier days be ░█
█░ thankful they stuck it out. The group still retains their ░█
█░ jazzy melodic feel, but they've fully integrated DJ ░█
█░ technology on this disc, and with ample helpings of ░█
█░ hip-hop-influenced beats the result is a much funkier and ░█
█░ captivating act than on their (still notable) past efforts. ░█
█░ At times sounding like a redirected version of Tortoise, ░█
█░ this once pensive and tangent-prone act raises the bar on ░█
█░ this disc, and the technological alterations give a twisted ░█
█░ backbone to their seven musical excavations. The lengthy ░█
█░ centerpiece, "Log Tammin'," wouldn't be out of place on the ░█
█░ first DJ Shadow disc, which says quite a bit for a band who ░█
█░ started off in the tradition of Tristeza. It's all ░█
█░ thoroughly enjoyable instrumental music that works with a ░█
█░ handful of different moods and showcases a band during a ░█
█░ particularly fruitful growth spurt. Roots of Orchis still ░█
█░ has plenty of musical territory left to cover in their young ░█
█░ careers, but this is a solid reminder that the band is ░█
█░ capable of really impressive work and musical growth over a ░█
█░ short time." -- Peter J. D'Angelo, All Music Guide blip ░█
█░ ░█
█░ I'm not seeing the IDM, nor the DJ Shadow really, but this is ░█
█░ a great instrumental album, with a whole range of influences. ░█
█░ Ranging from jazz to the odd spot of turntabilism, Roots Of ░█
█░ Orchis don't really fall into any one category or genre. ░█
