ODK are a progressive rock band from Atlanta. US. and they
have taken a broad step in my mind for instead of releasing the standard
metal/hardcore album that we seem to have an abundance of as one would
expect, they have released a very melodic progrock album entitled
Miranda.
The Quality of musicianship on show is excellent and the vocals are
perfect for this type of music. ODK are mainly an electronic
keyboard band, similar in a way to Depeche Mode, but with a much darker
feel to it. Much of this album has a Middle Eastern feel to it.
Miranda is an excellent CD and one I will be playing a lot.
However, I feel it's one of those albums you need to be in the right
frame of mind to listen too, mainly because the pace is quite slow.
Personally I would have liked to have seen a bit more pace on a few
tracks, just to give it that bit extra, but I am not taking anything
away from Miranda. It's still an excellent piece of music.
ODK have been working on a soundtrack to a fim called "
In The Flesh" and the film company Capetown Films is in search
of both US and European Distribution. The film maker has strong business
ties to Germany and it might be released there first.
ODK are currently working on the follow up CD to "Miranda"
and the current estimate is November of 1998.
