Description

Available is a copy of the self-titled album from THE ORIENT EXPRESS. This album originally dates back to 1987.
This is a reissue of this vinyl record issued by Sundazed in 2024. Furthermore this is a test pressing of the record as provided to Sundazed by Citizen Vinyl, their pressing partner... Sundazed then included a copy of this test pressing as a promotional incentive for ordering a certain quota of merchandise.
This item is brand new + unplayed. The record itself does not come shrink-wrapped by it was provided to me under the ausprices of being a brand-new test pressing, no needle has ever rested on the vinyl. Photos should attest to the overall condition of this release... branding is very Citizen Vinyl oriented, no artwork or overt acknowledgement about the band actually featured on the record.
Sitar-laden raga rock-xotica! Light the incense, turn on and tune out to this acid folk blend of electic oud, minitar and melodica - its genuine organic blend of both Eastern and Western sounds make this band truly sound like no other. Unlike the sitar-sploitation albums of the era, this early example of raga rock exemplifies their all-original compositions, effortlessly mixing the popular sounds of both Eastern and Western stylings of the mid ‘60s. Like the train whose name they bear, THE ORIENT EXPRESS travels easily from West to East and back again, maintaining their individuality and integrity all the way. The mystical aura of “Birds of India” and “Caravan of Silk” leave visions of hookah-smoking caterpillars dancing in your head. “Train to Bombay” and “For A Moment” deliver some of their most westernized arrangements that reflect the band’s knack for hook-driven pop. Their wide range of Indian-tinged psychedelic tunes to French pop and Middle-Eastern classical music make this album a mind-expanding venture. Instead of mixing cliches of each form, they have deeply explored each music, and exposed the profound similarities between their cultures... at once creating a highly original music and a timeless one.
