When the sense of time and space disappears, psychedelic sounds merge into an endless tapestry of sound, nothing can really be categorized here. You don't have to, better switch off your head. Only rarely do records like ADA appear that offer seemingly endless opportunities to dream away -- because there is so much history in them: "The new album is something like the essence of over 30 years of Electric Orange," explains Dirk Jan Müller, who started the long-running project back in 1992 in Aachen, Germany and later developed it into a great band. Electric Orange are clearly rooted in the Krautrock of the seventies (and also use some of the equipment from this era), so many tracks are reminiscent of the well-known legends of the genre: Can, Tangerine Dream, Amon Düül -- a mixture of everything the band members love. In this world, every groove is even better when you play it for minutes on end. Electric Orange's music is constantly evolving, spherical sounds come in and go out again -- or are replaced by experimental wah-wah guitars. Space sound effects? Movie samples? Yes! Electric Orange reveal an expansive world and then lead the listener through it; their music is both driving and dreamy at the same time.

30 years after the release of the self-titled debut album, Electric Orange is now finally being pressed on vinyl. The double LP comes on 180g heavyweight, orange-marbled vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve. Dirk Jan Muller has had an interest in '70s German underground music since 1988 and his passion for bands such as Amon Düül, Tangerine Dream, Nektar, Neu, and Can resulted in his collection synthesizers, keyboards, amps and various pieces of '70s musical equipment.
