'O'rang - "Herd of Instinct" (1994)













'O'rang was a band led by Lee Harris and Paul Webb, formerly of Talk Talk. The group's first album "Herd of Instinct" was recorded similarly to Talk Talk's later albums: guest musicians including Matt Johnson of The The, Beth Gibbons of Portishead and Graham Sutton of Boymerang and Bark Psychosis played hours of improvisational material, then the performances were edited down and pieced together. However, in contrast to Talk Talk, the song structures were not planned before being recorded. As Paul Webb explains, "it was recorded before it was written."

'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."
