Orpheus - The Cosmic DJDownload EPHere we have a little time capsule from the beginning of the millenium (remember that?). This is an EP constructed entirely from MIDI sounds, and is an excellent display of Orpheus' writing talents, especially within the context of a limited sound palette. The music is perky and poppy, playful and bouncy. Everything is decidedly more linear than the usual Orpheus things and the drums sound more like samples of accoustic drum hits than the squishy-tight snaps that are usually favored. Above all the melodies are catchy and fun, ensuring that you will be returning to this EP for a while now. The Cosmic DJ: space has never smelled so tasty! (??????)
