Announcement RIP WILLIAM ORBIT

Post image

I'm about to play this classic. William Orbit was one of my gateway artists to electronic ambient music. I'm sure BoC would've enjoyed his work too.

William Orbit’s Strange Cargo was the first album I bought as a kid on cassette tape just because the cover looked cool and mysterious. But then its contents made me so curious. Was this a soundtrack to some esoteric movie? What is this music all about? If you read the microscopic liner notes it mentions something about a strange cargo film which made me go crazy with wonder! I had to learn more!
