ORPLID (Germany)
German folkore - Orplid pay homage to their German mother language and evoke old traditions, legends and myth, the music is deep romantic and flowing like a crystal steam. Music with a soul, based on accoustic guitars and truely unique vocals. Flute, mouth harp and femal vocals also support the solemn atmosphere Their debut release, "Orplid" has been re-released by Prophecy Productions, including three bonus tracks. The second album "Nächtliche Jünger" was released in 2003.
ORPLID's third album "Sterbender Satyr" (release date March 2006) is as successful a mosaic of language, music, and representing images, as were their earlier releases. Apart from almost purely acoustic, mostly guitar-based songs, however, their new release sees Frank Machau and Uwe Nolte increasingly aiming for more ethereal soundscapes.
This is reflected in the use of minimalist electronics (often directed by sequencers) and corresponding drum-machine sounds -- a conscious reference to the so-called Cold Wave scene of the early 1980s. "Our music has grown more complex and more abstract," Frank Machau comments on ORPLID's development in the last years. "I think, though, that despite the additional stylistic means we have stayed true to ourselves in many regards."
