WHITE ORANGE – White Orange (Caprice, 1980)

 
Instrumental
International relevance: ***

Partly formulaic, partly overwrought jazz rock by a one-off outfit on Caprice Records with a former Gimmicks member plus a slew of session players. Typical sterile turn-of-the-decade production and competent and mostly soul-bereft playing with the mandatory jazz funk and samba moves. Parts of it sounds like background music to a 'B' grade TV movie. Only for seasoned genre freaks who can't get enough of castrated fusion albums, but chances are even they might write this off as as pale and colourless as the fruit on the album cover. Not even the collector cognoscenti cares about this - it can still be found for next to nothing (which is still too much).
