notes
ORGONE by definition is a cosmic unit of energy, the creative force in nature.
The band ORGONE is many souls with a cosmic connection, a natural creative force.
The musicians of ORGONE have played together for the past 10 years; self schooled, shaping their musical voice as a solid unit of guys who hang, spin records, and jam out their shared inspirations. Orgone and it's members have recently played and toured for the Pharcyde, Little Brother, Pharoahe Monch, Black Sheep, Too Short, Nice & Smooth, Plantlife, and the Breakestra. Whenever they've had the chance between gigs, they've gotten together to play the stuff they all hold close to their hearts and share a deep love for, putting their own gritty take on tunes by the likes of the JBs, the Meters, Grant Green, Booker T. & the MGs, Funkadelic, & Mandrill, just to name a few.
With a rooted sense of funk, R&B, reggae, and rock, and an intimate understanding of each others playing, ORGONE can take a song or spontaneous jam and twist it into something new and exciting every time they play it. ORGONE slides through style and dynamic changes seamlessly and effortlessly, continuously injecting whatever they play with their own heavy brand of raw funk power.
Their debut self titled cd "ORGONE" and live show is laced with the aspects of dj culture, afro beat, soul, jazz, and experimental funk wizardry.
Down home, transcendental, tough, gritty funk... ORGONE is a road trip from New Orleans to Memphis: New York soul jazz to the new West Coast funky jam band scene. Wanna ride?
Recent Hype:
"Sounding much like a cross between The Dap-Kings and Breakestra, L.A.’s Orgone keeps the hotness of the recent retro-soul revival coming; lead singer Fanny Franklin fits in very nicely between Sharon Jones and Amy Winehouse. As befits the band’s name, Orgone’s sound is quite organic, rooted in soul, funk, boogaloo, and jazz, with a classic appeal that’s nevertheless contemporary...the entire album is one non-stop groove. If smooth, soulful funk with jazzy arrangements makes you sweat, you just found your new favorite band."
- XLR8R
"By the time the listener gets to the nasty, distorted, finger-popping, ass waggling "Crabby Ali" -- where the deep brewed, second-line New Orleans old-school funk goes head to head with the gloss of L.A.'s Tower of Power styled horn charts -- it feels like the party's just getting started."
- All Music
"Orgone recalls acts like Fela Kuti, Trouble Funk, and War, but with a heavy dose of disco, as on Killion's "Dialed Up," where the deep groove and diva vocals are so authentic, they could be samples."
- The Onion / A.V. Club
"Their music is terrifically unfussy, big slabs of grizzled R&B, greasy as fatback and thick as a very particular kind of smoke. At their best, they recall the majesty of Sly & the Family Stone; opening track "Who Knows Who" is all bleary horns and broken-heart vocals, "It's What You Do" is a tight, itchy jam. There's still a riot goin' on, and Orgone is at the front of the crowd."
- eMusic
"It’s easy to imagine The Killion Floor both igniting mass partying and stoking libidos for more intimate gatherings."
- OC Weekly
"Orgone has provided all the elemental power to drive the funk/soul revival to new levels with The Killion Floor...Orgone will invigorate your groove spirit and get booty out of its little box and out on the dancefloor."
- KEXP, 90.3FM (SEATTLE)

Very Good Sound !!!
author: JayjazzI hope this band prepare us a new album !!! i heard a great version of "funky nassau" by them ... mmmmmmh i want a full album like this one track !!! If you know "The New Mastersounds" band .. this really the way of Orgone !
Down Right Dirty Low Dance Instrumentals
author: Slick RickyA DJ told me to get this album because he said the band was the true soul behind Plantlife and Breakestra. Orgone is nothing like those bands. This CD is packed with oldschool instrumentation and southern fried rhythms. Truly timeless addictive soul funk. This is a classic must add to any collection.
Awesome funk trip
author: JustinWhen I saw a couple of these guys play with Plant Life and Breakestra, I knew I had to get the CD. Awesome musicians, funky tracks; this CD absolutely deserves 5 stars. Fans might even recognize 'Downtime' as being the instrumental used by Plant Life for their 'Bottle Of Hope (Save The World)' track. A must-have for funk fans!

A wonderful combination of simple harmonies and complex grooves.
author: John HübinetteWhat can I say? Orgone is one of my favourite bands, and this CD is amazing. Incredibly tight and groovy tunes. You get it all here. Funk in all flavours! A wonderful combination of simple harmonies and complex grooves. If you are into funk, there is no chance this CD will disappoint you. Perfect background music for a party or a road trip. You WILL dig this. You will. :)
this is one hell of a band
author: RELIX magazine: ...an ultra-funky intertwining of infectious grooves with melodic phrases, even when they are at their most experimental. Despite the music’s complexity, it remains uncluttered and spacious...If you are into classic funk like Parliament Funkadelic, the Meters or newer acts such as Galactic or Deep Banana Blackout, you should find Orgone intoxicating. In addition to the funk, R&B and jazz elements, the band exhibits an adventurous rock ‘n’ roll twist, best exemplified in the super funk of "Hot Karl," which also boasts some scathing guitar work and a hidden track that’s at the end of "Dub Karl."...This is one hell of a band.
