Orkidea - Pure Progressive 1 - Electronica - CD

It took a shade under thirty months for Pure Progressive to rock past it's one-hundredth release. That was time enough for the label to bring music from near enough every prog operator of note through it's doors and onto floors. Penner, Barone, O'Glue, Saint-Jules, Schossow, Driftmoon, label honch Solarstone (naturally) - you name 'em, they've all received their P.P. pin. If there was any surprise to be had it was that Pure Progressive's resisted a full-blown compilation until now. Time is time though and July 2020 sees Solarstone's progressive progeny emphatically score that notch. At the wheelhouse of it's mix/disc-deuce is none other than that flying Fin, Orkidea - a genre prognosticator himself who's recorded for the label many a time. Notably perhaps it was 'One Man's Dream' - their hundredth release, as well as his longstanding Solar-association - that saw him earmarked to mix-helm 'PP Vol. 1'. Either way he's seized both opportunity and reins to deliver a stupendously mixed first edition - and one that brings the best of his and the label's artistic cohort to your ears. Amongst them - well an embarrassment of progressive riches abounds. Genre forefathers like Way Out West rub shoulders with scene-starters like Oakenfold, whilst a host of respected outfits from it's dawn - Deepsky, Sunscreem, Desert, Slusnik Luna, Pink Bomb and others - see their works remix-reimagined
