Paul Hartnoll (ex Orbital) - The Ideal Condition
Just noticed there is no thread on this album even though I have seen it mentioned several times in Music Discussion.
| quote: |
| ACP Recordings presents The Ideal Condition, the solo album from Paul Hartnoll - his first major release since he and his brother disbanded their group, Orbital, three years ago. With arranger Chris Elliott, Paul set about reversing the usual process - whereby electronic music might mimic the sounds of traditional instruments - and presented his compositions to an orchestra. |

| In addition to the Metro Voices choir vocal contributions are also present from U.S singer songwriter Joseph Arthur (�Aggro�), Brighton�s Lianne Hall (�For Silence�) and South London�s Akayzia Parker (�Nothing Else Matters.�) From what Paul calls the �Boadicea moment� of the album�s opener to the �steam driven synthesiser� of �Simple Sounds� via the old school electro of �Patchwork Guilt� and the neo-classical coda of �Dust Motes�, The Ideal Condition is a vivid testament to the scope and sensibility of one of modern music�s most innovative and resourceful minds. |
Damn, it's been 3 years since they broke up already?! Time sure does fly. I'll check this out sooner or later.
