When the sense of space and time disappears… Psychedelic sounds merge into an endless tapestry of sound, nothing can really be categorized here. It doesn’t have to be, better switch off your head. Only rarely do records like “ada” appear that offer seemingly endless opportunities to dream away – because there is so much history in them: “The new album is something like the essence of over 30 years of Electric Orange,” explains Dirk Jan Müller, who started the long-lasting project back in 1992 in Aachen and later developed it into a great band.

Electric Orange are clearly rooted in the Krautrock of the seventies (and also use some of the equipment from this era), so many tracks are reminiscent of the well-known legends of the genre: Can, Tangerine Dream, Amon Düül – a mixture of everything the band members love. In this world, every groove is even better when you play it for minutes on end. Electric Orange’s music is constantly evolving, spherical sounds come in and go out again… or are replaced by experimental wah-wah guitars. Space sound effects? Movie samples? Yes! Electric Orange reveal an expansive world and then lead the listener through it; their music is both driving and dreamy at the same time.
