From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dark Orange was an Ethereal wave band from Germany and is probably best known for their gothic rendition of Paul Simon's "Sounds of Silence".
The band consisted of Katrin Wegener on vocals, Christoph Leffmann on bass, Dirk Ritter on guitar, and Malte Neumann on keyboards. Dark Orange's last release "The Sea Is My Soul", taken from their third album "The Garden of Poseidon", was released under the alias 24 Hours and drastically remixed by Mark Tibenham.
Dark Orange went relatively unknown to American audiences, until 1998 when Cleopatra Records released "The Sea Is My Soul" (as 24 Hours) on the compilation "Heavenly Voices".
Malte Neumann would go on to be the keyboardist for grunge band Selig,who's first album cracked the Top-40 of the German album-Charts in 1995.
