orpheus - Horizon
Download MP3

After far too long a haitus, orpheus has dropped another gem into the collective, and we couldn't be happier about it. This tune is an emotional tour de force, inspired by the recent heart attacks sustained by his grandmother. This diffulicult subject material has been channeled into the usual orpheus devices (amazingly lush synths, tricky little beats, gut-wrenching melodic work), but busts them wide open to create something so huge it just had to be over seven minutes long. He's been called "some kind of god", and this tune might just convince you. Simply stated: check this out now.
