Electric Orange - Abgelaufen! (2001)

The third album from this band from Germany.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, clavinet, organ, keyboards, synths, programming, voices and samples.

This winter, I am reviewing the few albums from them I forgot to review back in 2018 for # 2 of this blog. I reviewed their debut album a couple of weeks ago and I gave that a good rating.

Abgelaufen is a different kettle of fish, music wise, than their debut album and most of their albums. 

I have always regarded this band as a space rock band. There is hardly any space rock on this seventy minutes long album.

The music here is electronica based krautrock. 

There is a lot of samples and some voices here. There is also a lot of Tangerine Dream like electronica here. 

The music is pretty pedestrian throughout. 

That said, there is some good pieces of music here too. This album is a mixed bag and a different side to this band. A band I really like. This album is not their finest hour.

2.5 points
