Fundamentals Of Orchid Biology - David Tagg's third full-length album - appears here at the end of a hot Summer, with hazy flowery photography gracing a jewel-case CD-R that echoes not only the music and the title,but Tagg's previous long-player Waist Deep Seas Of Milk. While several of the sweeter ingredients of David's music recur here (live guitars, untitled pieces, the color white), followers of his output will no doubt notice the new things about it. Recorded completely live with a single guitar, vintage effects boxes and the patience of a hibernating bear, Orchid displays an impressive level of accuracy in Tagg's playing and execution. Warm clouds of light drones accumulate together and provide a pillow-soft backdrop for gentle melodic notes and distant swaying nuances. Possibly David's strongest guitar performance to date and an absolute must-have for fans of ambient guitar music.
