William Orbit "Strange Cargo III" (1993)
William Orbit is now a well known name in music, with production and
remix gigs ranging from U2 and Madonna, through Blur, Finley Quaye, P!nk
and Chris Brown. But back in the day he was just starting out as an
artist in his own right.
Orbit had been in a group called Torch Song, making music from their
home-made studio... learning on the job essentially. The group
disbanded and Orbit started on his solo career.
The book opines that this album sounds like it could have been recorded
yesterday rather than decades ago... I'd have to agree. The trance-like
soundscapes and well-aged synth sounds are as fresh as anything out
today.
