MORR 025LP
|
2002 release. LP version. Limp are inspired by intelligent electronica and Chicago rock, and are also self-confessed admirers and recyclers of "rock and pop elements from the '80s and '90s" (a universal red flag for any conscious human being) and innocently cite stadium largesse and touching pop moments of mainstream-compatible alternative phenomena as a way as to quell any critical protest in its infancy. Orion displays the fresh and differentiated influence of four musicians with their own electronica projects (Manual, Aerosol, Syntaks) in this perfectly-balanced interplay of classical instruments and digital aids. Ostensibly relaxed and dreamy, simultaneously as epic and stratified as Mogwai or selected snippets from Slowdive to Boards of Canada, Orion is not afraid to exploit incredible melodies for minutes on end. Contrasts blend and forget about their origin to lend the six tracks a continual narrative structure that sneakily conjures up vivid images.
