derek's essentials #10: orchid - chaos is me

orchid - chaos is me
"ebullition records", 1998 (?)

Crazy chaotic screamo straight from the heart. The songs here are cathartic, complex and just beautiful in all the chaos. Very very powerful short bursts of expression. The album is only 20 minutes long so it's not that big of a download.

"..and the cat turned to smoke" is fucking epic, BY FAR the best thing they've ever done.

I agree but most of their other songs aren't interesting.

ORCHID are amazing. Just listened to this -- on youtube -- for the first time in a good 7 years the other day. All that early screamo ish stuff/Robotic Empire (Robodog) and so on .. slap-a-ham .. all that stuff is just amazing. Who's going to be the first to talk about a Yaphet Kotto album...

i enjoyed the hell of this record and the jeromes dream split, but other than that i thought they sucked.

Emo music with post-rock build-ups bore the hell out of me. I like this type of music to be chaotic.
