'Orion' is a wonderful, spacey, flowing space ambient album. It is the 2nd in a series of space ambient albums performed and produced by award-winning Australian synthesist, Jim Ottaway. If you like the early works of Tangerine Dream and Edgar Froese you will love this album. Space ambient music at its best! Keep an eye out for the other albums in the series... 'Aurora', 'Centauri' and 'Liquid Moon' (with more to come!). The album features 8 mesmerizing tracks ranging from 6:28 to 13:40 in length, all themed around stars, planets and all things that make up the universe.
