ORCHIDS

Orchids by Marco Minnemann is simply said one of my all-time favorite albums. Beautiful atmospheric melancholic pop. If you listen to this there isn't much musical fireworks happening and you might not even guess what Marco is able to by judging his drums on this one. And that is one of the reasons I love this album. It makes me feel a lot. The beautiful vocals by Fabio Trentini, Marco's ex-girlfriend (sorry I forgot her name) and Mario Brinkmanns synth work give me goosebumps. My favorite songs are Fields of Orchids, Don't Care, Doin Blind, Lose My Sin, Erase My Feel... Pretty much every song is good. I once spoke to Marco after a concert about this as it stands out in comparison to his other albums. He said he was in a weird phase in life when he wrote this. Maybe I am too that's why I get it so well.

In my oppinion this is the best album Marco has done so far.
