Fires of Ork (PW07)
by Pete Namlook and Gier Jenssen

The Fires of Ork is a 5-track disc. Two of those tracks, Fires of Ork I & II, are "ambient" 4-on-the-floor themes for darkened dancefloors. A subtley eerie synth melody is accompanied by the phrases, "Burning with the fires of Ork" and "deep thunder rolled round their shores..." These are the words of the lead replicant Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer, sp?) paraphrasing William Blake in the film Blade Runner. Nice tracks, deep bass pumps are around 120 bpm. I'd say that these are similar to some of the more beaty Patashnik tracks. However, Gebirge is 20-minutes long, spacey and less beaty sort of like Polar Sequences, but different (i don't yet own Substrata so i can't compare). Another track, The Facts of Life, also samples from Blade Runner. The track Talk to the Stars is also pretty nice and has a female voice whispering to you. This track is similar in mood to the two title tracks. Hope this helps. I think it's about time Geir and Pete got together to make Fires of Ork 2
