'Conversations With The Iron Orchid' - released through Smart Bomb-Records/Manufaktur Distribution on February 20th 2009 - is the second album from CHRISTIAN DÖRGE using the BORGIA DISCO name (and it's Part 2 of the 'Static Snow' we-got-three-records-fatalism album-trilogy). Clocking in at nearly 80 massive minutes, the album combines psychedelic electronic music with something like the lyrical walk on the weird side... supported by vocal guests ZASU and STINA SUNTLAND (from SYRIA and THE ATOMIC NURSES), RALF JESEK (from IN MY ROSARY and MARY'S COMIC) and the fabulous BLUFF DADDY, this new record is a living-in-the-interface affair with no garage rock flag-wavers, no apologies, no regrets, following just the abstract. BORGIA DISCOs playing is tight and accomplished, the harmonies are warm, but disturbing (paradox??), and the lyrics are melancholic, literature-driven and burlesque: BORGIA DISCO sounds like the protagonists are right there in the room with you.
But wait, that's not all, there's more to this neon slideshow & coin-operated psych-show: The album comes along with the 5-track bonus-CD 'The Ghost Of Multiple Feature' and the glittering mini-album 'Atomic' (including more of the Glam Goth tincture).
All in all an excellent package. Dig deep. It's a project like BORGIA DISCO that keeps music interesting.
