SOHO ORANGE-SOHO ORANGE-

As this is to be considered a true barnfind, nothing could describe this outfit better! Originating from Glasgow Scotland this is one of the true mysteries out there with Little or no information about the members of this Hard/Psych/Blues rock act. As the story goes this is a find of demos in a stowaway shed in the 80´s and brought to Life through the “Witch and Warlock” label on CD. So in a way,  the scottish play on…. 🙂

The production is fair to the songs which opens with a soft sorling Psych intro and then just ignite in to a Hard/psych/Blues eargasm!! The songs are strong and diverse from prestoner blues to harddriven psych and all things in between. No songs stand out as a first choice but no one falls off the wagon either. This is a treasure find amongs the obscure albums I´ve encountered!! Nicely played Lads!! 🙂

Whatabout the drummer?? As this is a John Dough in the that sense that nobody seems to know who is playing, I´m gonna go with the gut feeling and simply praise this fellow´s drive. The striking ability is English by Learning and reminds of Ginger Baker´s style of playing. The hit ratio is avarage and the technical skill is some where around the normal to expect. If anyone got news on this fellow I´d be happy to know. 🙂

There are some weird albums from this timeperiod but the fact, that this one didn´t even hit the presses is to me, a seroius riddle. There is both drive, impact and determination amongs the songs and with right guidence this got the potential to have been something special!! This is a good album!!

As there is no original copies you just have to settle for the reissues. Prices are fair for this rare goldmine and I certainly never encountered such a good album by chance before. Remarkable is the Word!! 🙂
