Ian North - Rape Of Orchids

Review by Dan Sumners

The album "Rape of Orchids" by Ian North is a masterpiece of post-punk and new wave music. Released in 1980, this album is a perfect example of the innovative and experimental sound that was emerging in the underground music scene of the time.

The album features a range of sounds and influences, including punk, new wave, electronic, and even classical music. The songs are characterized by their intricate arrangements, catchy melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Man Who Would Be King," which features a driving rhythm section, soaring guitars, and North's distinctive vocals. The song is a powerful commentary on the corrupting influence of power and the dangers of unchecked ambition.

Another standout track is "Judgement Day," a haunting ballad with a beautiful piano melody and poignant lyrics about the end of the world. The song is a perfect showcase for North's songwriting skills and his ability to create powerful emotional moments with his music.

Comments

I cannot believe.
Ian North is an incredible talent. I love this song and My Girlfriend's Dead is brilliant.
Fantastic video! The sound leaves something to be desired, but overall a fascinating artefact from another planet :)
Had the opportunity to work on this music video back in the day!
This is total garbage.
I still have this -- got it free as a DJ and music journalist.  This was a misfit production from the start and didn't really fit in anywhere cool -- as such, it was very bold and appealing in its attitude.  I still like it and SEX LUST YOU.
TOP TUNE!
need to buy the reissue! I had the 4 ep vinyl. NEVER knew of the vid!
Great video, great song, amazing artist! I just got the reissued My Girlfriends Dead/Rape Of Orchids on CD.
