ORION 2.0: VIRTUAL HUMAN

I'm a big fan of the Orion band so obviously I bought this last opus as soon as it was released. I must admit that it is completely different from the previous albums but it is magnificent. The only criticism I have to make is that it is not longer. It is composed of 7 tracks (5 songs in English and 2 songs in French) for a total of 40'29 of music. The new singer has a very beautiful voice and all the musicians are excellent. My favorite track on the album is Silicon Cirkus and I find the bass solo amazing. Finally the arrangements are nice and the production exceptional. The global sound made me think of Steely Dan from time to time. In conclusion I recommend this record to all prog-rock / new-prog and prog/jazz fans. Congratulations to Orion 2.0
