“The In Between,” the third album from Orion Tango dives into the same improvisatory bandwidth as the heavier and jazz influenced side of King Crimson. The progressive fusion driven sound is fearless, tough, and driven on a turbo charged set of outstanding spontaneous explorations that are expressive.

“Abiogenesis” is the latest high-resolution surround sound single from David Delbridge. The dark ambient Instrumental provides another immersive Dolby Atmos surround sound experience. Following his debut single, “Heat Death,” this new surround track assures a return to the artist’s eerie world, this time with a tonal plot twist. “If ‘Heat Death’ was the end, ‘Abiogenesis’ is the rebirth, explains Delbridge. “Both tracks are decidedly dark, but here, the melody offers a trace of hope amidst the electronic gloom and doom.” The track was composed and produced single-handedly by Delbridge and exhibits the artist’s competence on a variety of musical instruments including: electric guitars,… Continue Reading
