Milwaukee’s Black Orchid – Chronicles One, Two, and Three

Milwaukee’s Black Orchid is a three-piece improvisation group (sometimes joined by friends) who’s music has never been easy to describe. “This … is a miasma of electro beats that seem to go nowhere and then spin back on your ears and go somewhere where you’ll never find them … I could see permanent psychosis being a direct result of Black Orchid music. The comparisons to Skinny Puppy, TG, Pink Dots, and others are only due to the nature of the music, not the music itself. Black Orchid have a sound all their own…” (Leech, Industrial Nation, Issue #10). We thought this says it all.

When asked to remaster the early releases, Producer J.A.Bohr found in the archives over two hours of Milwaukee’s Black Orchid which has not been heard since the live performances. Combining the best of the original releases along with these previously unreleased gems, ‘Chronicles One, Two & Three’ offer over 3.3 hours of incredible live recordings. Sounding cleaner, brighter and even more exciting than before, this is a must have for fans of experimental & improvisational industrial music, old and new.

Band members:

Sven Kort, Raig Macher, J.A.B.

Please don’t ask us what we played where, we have no idea anymore. You guess.

  4. What you posted made a great deal of sense. However, consider this,
    what if you typed a catchier post title? I am not saying
    your information is not solid., but what if you added a post
    title to maybe grab people’s attention? I mean Chronicles One,
    Two, and Three – Darkworld is kinda vanilla.
    You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they
    write news headlines to get viewers to open the links.
    You might try adding a video or a related picture or two
    to grab people interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion,
    it might make your posts a little livelier.
