William Orbit - Pieces in a Modern Style 2 (2010)

William Orbit - Pieces in a Modern Style 2 (2010)

  Hard to believe but it was 10 years ago that music producer William Orbit put out the first "Pieces in Modern Style" album which remains today one of my favourite electornica albums.   For those who are skeptical let me assure you that this is not a dance album, it's more of a chill out album.  Imagine classical music (aka A Clockwork Orange) put to electonic filters not unlike Wendy Carlos.

  I am a huge Gabriel Faure fan and Orbit selected 2 of his classic numbers to re-interpret "Paradisium" and "Pavane".....

This is music that is just waiting for you to discover.....
