    Orgy rocks!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 25, 2002 | 1 out of 2 found this Vapor Transmission review helpful

    Orgy is 1 of the bands that is known by mainly every single country (except the countries that can't afford cds or cd player). I like how they used more techno based music than Candyass. I think every 1 who luvs rock should go out n buy Candyass & Va...por Transmission. This is 1 of their best cds! Read more Less

    I love this second LP! I thought that Candyass was good. This album is just as good, if not better! I still love them despite that this cd wasn't as popular as the last LP. The songs have a new wave of even more distant futuristic feel than the other... earlier songs without losing the originality and personality of what they had done previously. With made up words and dreamed up stories, it's 'differently divine.' I have been a fan for almost four years and I am still not bored of them yet. Read more Less

    Not true. I love both albums equally. Orgy is very underrated.

    I like how theve changed their sound. The only problem is that it sounds like Jay Gordans(Orgy vocalist), and Elijah Blues(chers son) side project, Deadsy(Listen to them, they kick ass!)

    Josh's Music Reviews

    Computers have become an increasingly popular theme for pop-culture decorators in the last few years (i.e. The Matrix). On their sophomore album, Orgy have definitely taken this sci-fi image to new lengths - the CD is completely covered with the futu...ristic, man/machine hybrid pictures normally associated with pure techno and rave music. Aside from aesthetics, though, the album's content also fits well with the motif. The opening track is a computerized voice going through one of those "launch initiation" sequences in pretty much every movie ever made that involves a spaceship (except maybe Apollo 13), and their current radio single features a talking synthesizer saying "dreams in digital." The only way it could get more computerized than this would be to have R2D2 singing along. The computers serve as more than just an image though; they are a metaphor for today's genetically homogenized, force-fed pop culture (I know, I always complain about other people telling me what metaphors really mean, but I'm just giving you my own impression here). The aforementioned single which launched this album is called "Fiction (Dreams In Digital)." If the title doesn't tell you anything, try lyrics like "your pixel army can't save you now." Of course, I can't say that one song makes a theme for the whole album, so here are some more examples: "you've been driven by your faceless personality" (from the song "The Odyssey"), "there's a time and a place we hide behind" ("107"), "can you find yourself with the bright lights flashing?" ("Where's Gerrold?"), "And we make this new religion to escape what we've become" ("Re-Creation"). The list goes on almost indefinitely. True, these words alone may not sound very computer-like, but it all fits into place perfectly when you're listening to the music. Synthesizers play a heavy role in the sound, sometimes as a sinister backdrop ("107"), sometimes pulling you through the heaviest of it all ("Fiction"). Songs like "Opticon" and "Dramatica," with their ‘80s drumbeats and keyboard sounds, give it all a pop feel, which in context seems more sarcastic than anything else. The lambasting of pop culture isn't just limited to the computer metaphor. There is also derision of celebrities, the tactic used by many others for the same purpose (ironic, since many of those bands are the very ones being mocked). "Suckerface," probably the most direct of these assaults, is filled with lines like "raised by the queens your mother paid - so how does that make you a human god?", while "The Odyssey" is a little less direct with the line "your image is your invitation." Not as creative as the computer thing, but it works toward the same purpose. The point is, Vapor Transmissions is a good CD. Wether you prefer to listen for the socially-conscious lyrics or the driving instrumental work, you should be well satisfied (unless you just don't like this kind of music, but that's a different story).
