- I Am Kurious Oranj is a 1988 album by British rock band The Fall. The album was written as the soundtrack for the ballet "I am Curious, Orange", produced by contemporary dance group Michael Clark & Company, and themed loosely around the 300th anniversary of William of Orange's accession to the English throne. The album is also notable for its reworking of William Blake's lyrics for the hymn "Jerusalem" by Fall front man Mark E. Smith. The album's title is derived from Swedish director Vilgot Sjöman's films I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967) and I Am Curious (Blue) (1968). The title appears as I Am Kurious, Oranj on some parts of the packaging on the cassette and CD formats. The release of I Am Kurious Oranj came towards the end of a relatively successful year for the group, which had also seen the release of an "accessible" album, The Frenz Experiment, and a handful of singles in the UK singles chart. Kurious Oranj was critically well received at the time, as were the few performances of the ballet production. A later review of the album by Ted Mills of Allmusic, however, is more indifferent; he suggests, "For the first time tracks felt like filler, and indeed they were. " A live version of this album recorded during at one of the Edinburgh Festival performances of the ballet was belatedly issued in 2000, under the title I Am As Pure As Oranj. This is now out of print. This Morning with Richard Not Judy, a late-nineties British comedy series, had a regular sketch involving a creature called The Curious Orange, played by Paul Putner. He was a sentient & quizzical citrus fruit, as the name suggested - who, as the show progressed, developed a darker, somewhat sinister undertone. The track "Kurious Oranj" was played at the beginning of his slot, and has been credited as partial inspiration for the character. (Stewart Lee, one half of the comedy partnership who wrote the show, is an ardent Fall fan who has compiled a Fall compilation album and has regularly promoted the group in his articles for such publications as The Wire and The Guardian.)
