THE ORANGE SHOW started out in 2001 on an expedition to the unexplored corners of funky jazzy proggy improvisation. Spirits were high and the mood was optimistic. no one on the mission expected to find much more than a few very similar environs to those dicovered by earlier parties lead by Davies, McLaughlin etc.. However a combination of freak storms, tragic accidents, attacks from monstrous creatures and such divided the company. Those who remained regrouped and were driven far underground.. However it was then, still only months after the expedition had set out, that they made a remarkable accidental discovery in the form of FRUIT ROCK, a rare geode possessed of many unique properties.... In his journal, Rev Donnel Steeds, who was the Theological Consultant on the trip, wrote of the discovery;
"..perhaps the most extraordinary thing about fruitrock, is that despite its apparent opacity, it is that it is virtually invisible... and when one holds it to one's ear, it emits an almost inaudible high frequency vibration that creates an irresistible sensation in the mind and body, akin to a kind of sexual or religious ecstacy.."
Since the find, in late 2002, whilst scientists and occultists scratch their heads in disbelief, The Orange Show have abandoned their original mission in order to document and develop new forms of fruit rock, of which there are now known to be dozens if not hundreds of varieties. They continue to publish their findings in the form of mathematical formulae derived from the structure of the fruit rock interpreted into music for easier absorption. "Obviously," says Dr Eden Lovenests, glamorous public relations executive for Fruitrock Holdings plc, "The big problem with fruit rock, like other minerals, is ABSORPTION.." she laughs, tossing her head playfully, as she runs her hands over her stockinged thighs, "No, silly boy, The Orange Show are not so much trying to make music you can be absorbed by but to make music you can ABSORB. It is not a question of whether you like the music, it is a question of how you can be made to listen to it against your will, so to speak, without resorting to illegal OR unethical means..."
It is not surprising that since this work has come to their attention, the media, music business, city council, pharmaceutical industry, supermarket giants and many other corporate and institutional monsters and authorities have tried and failed to put an end to it in a vast keystone-cops style fiasco, as well as stepping up their efforts to drown out THE TRUTH in a vast cacophonous ocean of LIE SOUP...
Will The Orange Show use fruit rock to save mankind from its own stupidity?
Will the forces of evil triumph?
Will we, in unleashing this discovery, open a pandora's box of forces beyond our own control and thus be the makers of our own demise?
