Orchi

"Samir" is a direct, powerful and intriguing album, twisted and unpredictable, passionate and modern, where Il Paradiso degli Orchi mix and reinvent once again their PROP(K) MUSIC with a trip through prog, rock, pop, psychedelia, Mediterranean hints and oriental scents, all being the soundtrack to the protagonist's thoughts.
"Samir" is also the result of a collective work, in which all six musicians of the group took part, creating something strongly personal to give substance to PdO's progressive rock model. Five tracks for about forty minutes of music where the band concentrate their imagination and move, compared to the previous records, towards more powerful sounds: epic and symphonic moments alternate with irreverent ideas and scratcy arrangements, made with an anarchic and punk attitude that often recalls the best Frank Zappa.
