Got a bit of a weird band here, in the good sense of the word that is! Maybe inventive music with many faces would be a better description. A new band called O.R.k. Amongst the band members you will find King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto and Porcupine Tree bassist Colin Edwin. That alone holds some promises. And those promises got redeemed with the album Inflamed Rides. Every track is brilliant and unlike the other, without creating chaos. Although all tracks are quite different, the album is coherent, a unity. The lucky ones that did see a recent gig in my neighbourhood , witnessed a short (they only have one album yet, played in its entirety) and highly impressive performance. I am gonna play you three songs from the album Inflamed Rides back to back now, for you to be your own judge. You will hear 'Dream of Black Dust' (an eye- and ear opener!), 'Funfair' and 'Black Dust'. Please enjoy O.R.k.!
