30 years after the release of the self-titled debut album, "Electric Orange" is now finally being pressed on vinyl.

The double LP comes on 180g heavyweight, orange-marbled vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

Dirk Jan Muller has had an interest in '70's German underground music since 1988 and his passion for bands such as Amon Duul, Tangerine Dream, Nektar, Neu and Can resulted in his collection synthesisers, keyboards, amps and various pieces of '70's musical equipment.

From his home studio he released a couple of underground tapes of electronic music which began to circulate on the cassette network ("Octopus's Garden and "Time Signals") until in 1992 a UK company called Electronic Dreams released "Time Signals".

Meanwhile Dirk began work on the debut Electric Orange album bringing in a number of other musicians and a wealth of instrumentation such as hammond organ, sax, flute, assorted percussion, samples and electric guitars and By March 1994 the German underground electronic label "Manikin" had released the album on CD.

Called simply "Electric Orange" it was a stunning mixture of early '70s Kraut Rock and psychedelic space rock styles but with a totally modern sound, updating the genre with new technology and production values.

The album rapidly became a sought after release, however it was very badly distributed and seemed to be doomed to cult status, that is until Delerium records discovered it and purchased the rights.

Even 30 years later, the Electric Orange sound is still fascinating and it was long overdue to finally release this jewel on vinyl.
