Milwaukee’s Black Orchid is a three-piece improvisation group (sometimes joined by friends) who’s music has never been easy to describe. “This … is a miasma of electro beats that seem to go nowhere and then spin back on your ears and go somewhere where you’ll never find them … I could see permanent psychosis being a direct result of Black Orchid music. The comparisons to Skinny Puppy, TG, Pink Dots, and others are only due to the nature of the music, not the music itself. Black Orchid have a sound all their own…” (Leech, Industrial Nation, Issue #10). We thought this says it all.
“Almost 13 years after the end of the phenomenon that was Milwaukee’s Black Orchid (originally known as Black Orchid), I was delighted to find so much wonderful material to work with for The Chronicles releases. I had almost completely forgotten many of the recordings and was surprised at how fresh some of it still felt. None of it sounded old school at all, and I was really pleased I had been able to capture so much from the band.
I was introduced to Craig (Raig Macher) by a mutual friend in July 1993. Craig had been working with Sven Korth as Shadow Orchid but Sven was planning to move to Seattle, which left Craig looking for someone new to work with. The first time Craig and I turned on our equipment Sven showed up and just couldn’t resist joining in. The session went so well that Sven delayed his move to Seattle. I managed to convince Craig and Sven to rename the band Black Orchid, after one of my favourite comics, and our recording history began.
