“It’s probably apparent that BIC songs tend NOT to be 3-minute singles! I love to let songs ‘go’ and see what happens. Even as a teenager, I used to turn up the volume as songs faded out to hear what was happening. “Orion” had sort of a “Kashmir” vibe to me; mostly due to Whitney’s middle-eastern style vocals in the middle section. I wanted to expand and play-off that with the guitars on the outro. We also had her ‘talk’ the verse lyrics to intertwine. When it came time for the video, the director felt that it would be difficult to hold interest in a 7-minute plus song, and add a lot more editing time with the ‘green screen’ footage. I don’t usually bend, but I gave in here as it was the best call. When it came time to finalize the running order of the vinyl, I was happy we had an edited version due to time constraints of both physical albums and CDs. I still enjoy this extended version and wanted to ensure it was released!” … Michael Ciravolo (Curator - BEAUTY IN CHAOS)
