3 stars THE UNREVIEWED ALBUMS ADVENTURE (2/10000)

The second album (actually an EP) of this adventure, according to Wikipedia:

.O.rang (or 'O'rang) was an English experimental music project led by former Talk Talk members Lee Harris and Paul Webb, with a shifting cast of guest musicians. .O.rang's music exhibits more culturally diverse influences than Talk Talk. Webb has commented "We used to be in a reggae band when we were younger... The Talk Talk thing was always very Westernised, and we were listening to other kinds of world music." Among other elements, the project draws on dub, Krautrock, post-rock and world fusion music.

So yeah, let's see what they have to offer:

-N'Hoojek is the first song on this album, this song has a really African-based percussion and Arabian-like vocals, it sounds like they are in a ritual making a sacrifice, hahaha. Anyways i actually liked the song, very interesting.

-Charabanc D.I.P is the second song on this album, it's an ambient based song with a lot of different instruments, it reminds me of China for some reason, an interesting song, something Pink Floyd would make.

-An Ocean Head is the next song on the album, it's a more electronic song. Very weird song I have to say, but not bad at all.

-Core is the final song on this album, and uses the same formula as Charabanc D.I.P, it's very ambient, but not bad, it has some interesting ideas when using the different instruments.

This EP uses a lot the atmosphere and the ambient to make music, which is not bad, it's actually a very good EP, not a masterpiece, but not a terrible composition. If you are into experimental music, you should hear this EP, it has interesting things to offer, and maybe you would like it.
