.O.rang (or 'O'rang) was an English experimental music project led by former Talk Talk members Lee Harris and Paul Webb, with a shifting cast of guest musicians. .O.rang's music exhibits more culturally diverse influences than Talk Talk. Webb has commented "We used to be in a reggae band when we were younger... The Talk Talk thing was always very Westernised, and we were listening to other kinds of world music." Among other elements, the project draws on dub, Krautrock, post-rock, and world fusion music.

  • .O.rang est un groupe anglais formé à Londres par Paul Webb et Lee Harris après la dissolution de Talk Talk dont ils étaient respectivement bassiste et batteur. Le nom du groupe dérive du malais "orang" qui signifie "homme", mais aussi singe comme l'atteste le nom de l'orang outan bien connu. Le nom du groupe a subi des mutations au cours de son histoire : il apparaît écrit Örang sur le premier album, Herd of Instinct, puis .O.rang sur le second, Fields and Waves. (fr)
  • Gli .O.rang sono stati un gruppo musicale britannico di genere Post rock, formato dagli ex-componenti del gruppo Talk Talk, e , nel 1994. All'attivo due album ed un EP, oltre ad un album rimasto incompiuto, Loudhailer No.19. Il nome del gruppo deriva dal malese "orang", che significa "uomo", ma anche scimmie, come evidenziato dal nome del ben noto orangutan. Il nome del gruppo ha subito modifiche nel corso della sua storia: è scritto Orang sul primo album, Herd Of Instinct, poi .O.rang sul secondo, Fields And Waves. (it)

  • .O.rang (or 'O'rang) was an English experimental music project led by former Talk Talk members Lee Harris and Paul Webb, with a shifting cast of guest musicians. .O.rang's music exhibits more culturally diverse influences than Talk Talk. Webb has commented "We used to be in a reggae band when we were younger... The Talk Talk thing was always very Westernised, and we were listening to other kinds of world music." Among other elements, the project draws on dub, Krautrock, post-rock, and world fusion music. The group's first album, Herd of Instinct (1994), was recorded similarly to Talk Talk's later albums: guest musicians played hours of improvisational material, then the performances were edited down and pieced together. However, in contrast to Talk Talk, the song structures were not planned before being recorded. Paul Webb explained, "it was recorded before it was written." Guests on the album included former Bark Psychosis leader Graham Sutton and Portishead singer Beth Gibbons (who at the time applied to become the group's singer, before Portishead's growing success removed this possibility). After several false starts, a second album - 1996's Fields and Waves - was recorded. This album was more Krautrock-oriented and more structured in terms of composition, as well as being more focused around the core duo of Webb and Harris. A third album (with the working title of Loudhailer No. 19) was projected for release in 2001, but remains unreleased. (en)
