Do you like heavy, organ-driven rock with long psychedelic (sometimes Floydesque-sounding) jam-parts?....then this record might be something for you!
Originaly released in Germany on Bacillus/Bellaphon, the first pressing of this record is one hell of a rarity as well as a convincing musical-effort all the way.
You can't find that much info about Orange peel but what we know is that they were based in Hanau and released just one album and a single (which was released before with a slightly different lineup). Orange Peel still play concerts every now and then but it is said, that their sets don't include too many references to their psychedelic past anymore which is sad because they were great in what they did. Leslie Link, the band's guitarist is still regarded as one of the best guitar-players out of the Rhein-Main-Scene - today he owns a guitar-shop called "Link's Musical Instruments" in Hanau...specialized in everything around guitars.
It's also worth mentioning that Curt Cress, maybe the most famous drummer emerging out of the Krautrock-Scene, was a member of Orange Peel and played on this record.
Not much left to say for me at that point except that this is definitely an amazing album and deserves a listen!
Orange Peel are without a doubt among the best german acts from the 70ies i've heard so far and i ain't telling no lie when i write about the heavy organ-parts which shape the sound of Orange Peel....this features the feared teutonic-killer-organ!!!
...dedicated organ-afficcionados like BartBowles might shed one (or more) tear(s) of joy when listening to the beauty of this record ;)
Go ahead and listen!
Tobacco Road (what a nice cover-version we have here!)
