This experimental UK pop band was a spin-off from the Manchester-based indie mavericks The Fall, actually they were kicked out by little Stalin Mark E. Smith. Una Baines (keyboards/vocals) and Martin Bramah (guitar/vocals) both found themselves outcasts from that band as the 80s dawned. They put together the Blue Orchids with Rick Goldstar (guitar), Steve Toyne (bass), and Joe Kin (drums), producing a sound that echoed the less esoteric moments of their former employer. Lyrics were usually spoken or half-sung, leaving a sinister and enticing set of songs that deserved a wider audience.I especially love Una's organ playing!
"There is an economy of love and yearning in every chord, vocal or instrumental that breaks from the aching heart of the Blue Orchids' sound."
Barney Hoskins NME.
"Blue Orchids' pop is as exotic as their name... their sound is emotive yet economic, the effect subtle and striking."
Lynn Hanna NME.
The Blue Orchids are still working, have a look at their my space . You find additional info on Wikipedia .

A quick update on file services: you might have noticed that rapidsh*t.de has morphed into rapidsh*t.com, which thus far has proved fast and easy to use, with no delays, but still with the 100 MB limit. Btw, the servers @ rapidsh*t.de are full and as I understand it no future uploads will be possible there. Instead customers are re-directed to rapidshare.com.
The reason for the change is advertising revenue. Rapidsh*t.de was banned by Google Adsense (you can guess why) so RS registered a new domain and and set up new dedicated servers. So it's still an option for all these out-of-print / hard-to-find goodies you continue to offer. ;)
