The Orchids - Lyceum - VINYL LP

Only Love Remains is Yemen Blues' boldest offering yet. The eleven-track album embraces the strengths of all four accomplished musicians and the richness of their individual cultures - the traditional to the modern and the sounds of the East to the West. Co-produced by the band and New York-based Yemen Blues' bassist Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz, known for his avant-garde work with John Zorn and Yo-Yo Ma, Only Love Remains is simultaneously a very direct and visceral emotional connection and an enigmatic spiritual quest, both enlightening and questioning.At a time of dangerous political, religious, and cultural polarization and xenophobia, Yemen Blues and Only Love Remains lead by example, creating a color-blind, all-embracing celebration of gyrating togetherness with love firmly at it's pulsing core.

Martin Bramah, lead guitarist in The Fall, was the final original musician to leave the band and inarguably the most important factor in the band's original sound. His hazy psychedelic vision featured which so readily on The Fall's debut, Live At The Witch Trials, continued through his work with Blue Orchids with fellow Fall castaways Una Baines and Rick Goldstraw). Initial releases rose to notoriety with two caustic and intense 7Inch singles, The Flood and Work, along with their more varied, indie chart-topping debut LP, The Greatest Hit (Money Mountain). Personal issues within the band made progress difficult. The EP Agents Of Change, introduced changes to their sound (in part due to their work with Nico). But after it's , Bramah sightings were elusive - a solo on an album by Una's band The Fates, a 12Inch single with mesmerising songs performed, oddly, in a sort of reggae style. A short second stint in The Fall. A series of archival and new releases started up in 2015 a new studio album, followed by another new album nearly every year thereafter. This year's debut by HOUSE Of ALL, a 'side project' featuring four other former members of The Fall, was a hit within days of it's announcement, in no small part to it's immediacy - recorded in three days - and a healthy dollop of scandal... The spectre of retrospective threat to MES's hegemonic rule of The Fall. Magpie Heights is an unexpected addition to Bramah's canon. The Face Of Time harkens back to the psych-garage of The Magical Record Of Blue Orchids, As My Vision Cleared makes a case for Bramah's unique stylistic sense within the realm of lysergic folk balladry, a kind of dark glam in Tableau Vivant... and seven other wonders.1.
