Just came across it. Have no idea if it's any good. Would like to here reviews if someone knows this one...
"Orchid-Star was put together by Pete Ardron at the start of 2005, initially as a vehicle to perform music he had written for DJ sets, mostly for chill-out rooms.
The sound is lush and colourful with a strong world music influence Indian, Arabic, Celtic, African and more fused with everything from psychedelic chill and dub to drum & bass and funk. Part electronic, part live vocalists Myo and Samanta Ray, guitar & bass Pierre Luigi, electric fiddle Kait Farbon, full-size marimba Becky Dell, percussionists Jon Bongly and Becky keyboards - Pete, dancers Diane Everitt and SandRa and occasionally more.
Orchid-Star have featured an increasing list of guest performers from here and abroad, vocalists, instrumentalists, dancers and visual artists, giving a real variety to their shows, performing with anything from 3-10 people on stage.
Both core members and guests have diverse musical roots, several with classical training and members with backgrounds in rock, reggae, soul, funk, jazz, world and other fields, having played with people as varied as Tim Finn of Crowded House, True Life Confessions, Basement Jaxx, Soul2Soul, Hallucinogen and Stomp."

Just listened to the 1st CD so far.
It's really good.
I know LSD have been quite for a long time (& stupidly changed their name) but this is quite the album.
1. It's really varied
2. It's ethnic but not your copy & paste crap ethnic sample shite
3. It's easy to get lost in.
back to the old LSD feel if not the exact sound
Wait.....What? |

When did they change their name???  that is lame-ass. I always had the utmost respect for them because of that name...they must be trying to put on a better face to market or some business-world-bullshit like that 
but yeah, orchid star is fantastic!!! Beautiful sounds, really

I had the pleasure of listening to this album this week, and all I have to say is that it is FUCKING AMAZING.
Psychedelic. Emotional. Epic.
The only words to truly describe this album.
Best album of the year, and it's a nutkicker that it came out at the beginning of the year.
