.O.Rang

.O.rang (or 'O'rang) was a band led by Lee Harris and Paul Webb, formerly of Talk Talk. Their music was recorded similarly to Talk Talk's later albums: guest musicians were brought in, hours of improvisation were recorded, then the performances were edited down and pieced together. However, in contrast to Talk Talk, the song structures on "Herd of Instinct" (1994) were not planned before being recorded. As Paul Webb explains, "it was recorded before it was written." "Fields and Waves" (1996), after experiencing several false starts, was recorded with more control. .O.rang's music exhibits more culturally diverse influences than Talk Talk. Webb notes, "We used to be in a reggae band when we were younger... The Talk Talk thing was always very westernised, and we were listening to other kinds of world music." A new album (working title: "Loudhailer No. 19") was projected for release in the early 2000s, but has yet to materialize.
