Orion is one of the oldest French progressive rock groups with a sparse career. After a comeback in 2013, The Survivor (2017) received rave reviews. Undoubtedly impressed by the success of Steven Wilson's To The Bone, the group took a turn towards a more immediately accessible music which they themselves call new prog. Thus was born Orion 2.0 and its Virtual Human. With new musicians, including a singer at ease in English (5 titles) as in French (2), this new album has its sights set on California, offering hushed compositions that benefit from seductive arrangements and an impressive production. A new Orion, to be enjoyed in a non-virtual way. cosmosmusic.fr
