The Fall - "Kurious Oranj"

In 1988 The Fall released an album titled 'I Am Kurious Oranj,' which came during a high period of their career, after previously releasing 'This Nation's Saving Grace' (1985), 'Bend Sinister' (1986) and 'The Frenz Experiment' (1988). But this album was an unlikely foray into ballet. No Mark E Smith and co didn't change careers, but they did provide the music to Michael Clark's ballet 'I Am Curious Orange.' It was more like a 'Fall' album than a soundtrack.... I would say it was more of a concept album. However, it was also performed live with the ballet at the time. The ballet was based on the 300th anniversary of William Of Orange's ascendancy to the English throne. I don't know too much about the ballet... but getting The Fall to write the music for it was a win/win scenario. Michael Clark got the perfect musical soundtrack and we got a fantastic album, once again, from The Fall.... regardless of any knowledge of the ballet.
