What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

David Tagg releases his third album and it's called 'Fundamentals Of Orchid Biology'. I'm well drawn to the name... Anyone seen Adaptation? Great film.... The wife loves orchids as well so we occasionally have 'em dotted around the house until they inevitably die. I think perhaps she could do with reading about the fundamentals of orchid biology but I guess that's another story. David makes some oh so very delicious warm sounding ambience which is so lovely and warm sounding it's sending me off in some hazy non drug induced music coma. Him and Milieu seem to have created a cottage industry of this sort of gear and here's more of the same drifty floaty bedtime music which makes you feel all womblike. This is as good as anything I've heard from the ambiencemeister! Lovely.

What the label says:

Fundamentals Of Orchid Biology - David Tagg's third full-length album - appears here at the end of a hot Summer, with hazy flowery photography gracing a jewel-case CD-R that echoes not only the music and the title,but Tagg's previous long-player Waist Deep Seas Of Milk. While several of the sweeter ingredients of David's music recur here (live guitars, untitled pieces, the color white), followers of his output will no doubt notice the new things about it. Recorded completely live with a single guitar, vintage effects boxes and the patience of a hibernating bear, Orchid displays an impressive level of accuracy in Tagg's playing and execution. Warm clouds of light drones accumulate together and provide a pillow-soft backdrop for gentle melodic notes and distant swaying nuances. Possibly David's strongest guitar performance to date and an absolute must-have for fans of ambient guitar music.
