Korai Orom 1996. Hungary

This is the album that sits between their debut and 1997, both of which I've discussed here already. 1996 is the stepping stone from one to the other. It's a bit more zoned-in than the debut, but it's more measured than the kinetic 1997. It's also a bit less dance-y than the latter. I'm finding that Korai Orom is a band I must listen to while chilling at night. For dedicated, focused listening, their music tends to drag. In this way, Korai Orom needs to be approached in the same manner as Tangerine Dream or any similar type of electronic music. When hearing in this light, 1996 gets a +1.

Ownership: CD: 1996 private. Jewel case with tri-fold booklet. This is a situation where the jewel case isn't modular since it has a pre-printed logo on the front piece (the one that usually breaks). So it needs to be handled gently.

6//97 (first listen); 1/6/21 (review / new entry)
