As Chuck Eddy noted, not too many scores for ballet companies toast William of Orange, let alone have it done for them by the Fall. Oddly enough, that's exactly what happened with Michael Clarke's dance troop when the band performed live with them for their tour. More strange is that this one of the the group's most consistent sets. With the Fall though, this is a mixed blessing as one of their enduring qualities is all the weird shit that hits you when you least expect it in always surprising and new ways.
This start off with'Hip Priest,' revived from Hex Enduction Hour as 'New Big Prinz,' now a stomping, shout-along where Mark yells 'check the record, check the record, check the guy's track record!' (who's he talking about here, eh?). Brix weighs in with a majestic theme song which has her mewling out the title(s)- must have been fun to see the dancers leaping and prancing around to this. Mark takes a page from William Blake and launches into 'Jerasalum,' one of the band's best rock tunes ever, starting with a stammering beat then steading into a strident, driving rhythm where Mark casts some aspertions on the government and the people who want to milk it for cash. When I saw the band do this live around '89/'90, me and my friends were inspired to dance around like an Indian tribe, attracting more attention than the band for a while! For some reason, I've literally fallen asleep twice while listening to 'Kurious Oranj,' which is a shame as it's a funny toast to the 'hero' as he makes 'Hitler laugh in pain' and 'paved the way for the atom bomb' (as if you'd expect a reverant tribute from the Fall) all to a choppy reggae beat. The first side closes with a sharp stomper and another good shout-along 'Wrong Place, Right Time' which actually has a nice cello-like passage smack in the middle.
The second side starts out with a weird kind of remix of everything we've heard before with 'Win Fall CD 2088 AD.'. After that, we hear the relatively civilized 'Van Plague' and 'Yes Oh Yes.' 'Bad News Girl' is one of my favorites here as it starts out slow and mournful then revs up at the end with what sounds like a toy piano jingling around. 'Cab It Up' ends things off by stealing the opening lick from the Stooges 'T.V. Eye' and making another solid rocker from the crew.

I Am Kurious Oranj is the eleventh studio album by English post-punk band the Fall. It was released on 10 October 1988 through record label Beggars Banquet.
The album's release came at the end of a relatively successful year for the group, which had also seen the release of an 'accessible' album, The Frenz Experiment, and a handful of singles in the UK charts. However, there was internal strife within the band; Smith was increasingly dependent on alcohol and speed, and his marriage to Fall lead guitarist, songwriter and vocalist Brix Smith was coming to an end. Although she wrote many of the most acclaimed songs on the album, including 'Overture From Kurious Oranj', 'Van Plague?' and 'Bad News Girl', she was excluded from the writing and publishing credits.
I Am Kurious Oranj was intended as the soundtrack for the ballet I Am Curious, Orange, a collaboration with the dancer Michael Clark. The music was mostly pre-written by Brix Smith and bassist Steve Hanley. A live version was recorded during an Edinburgh Festival performance of the ballet, and issued in 2000 as I Am as Pure as Oranj.
Background[edit]
I Am Kurious Oranj was intended as the soundtrack for the ballet I Am Curious, Orange, produced by contemporary dance group Michael Clark & Company, and loosely based on the 300th anniversary of William of Orange's ascension to the English throne. The album combines studio recordings with tracks recorded live during performances in Edinburgh in August 1988.
The opening track 'New Big Prinz' (as well as its alternative version, 'Big New Priest') is based on 'Hip Priest' from the group's 1982 album Hex Enduction Hour; the original track was also used in the ballet as a backing tape. 'Jerusalem' is an adaptation of William Blake's hymn using Hubert Parry's original music (although Parry does not appear in the credits). 'Last Nacht' is a remix of 'Bremen Nacht' from the group's previous album, The Frenz Experiment.

I Am Kurious Oranj's title is derived from Swedish director Vilgot Sjöman's films I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967) and I Am Curious (Blue) (1968). It appears as I Am Kurious, Oranj on some packaging formats.

I Am Kurious Oranj was critically well received at the time. NME wrote '[The Fall have] retained the power to surprise, to provoke and occasionally outrage that only The Smiths could pretend to possess in the '80s.'[3] A later review of the album by AllMusic, however, is more indifferent, opining, 'As a cohesive Fall album it fails [..] I Am Kurious Oranj would have been more interesting to see than hear.'[1]
Track listing[edit]
As with other Fall albums released through Beggars Banquet Records, I Am Kurious Oranj featured a different track listing across the various formats on which it was originally released. In addition to extra tracks 'Guide Me Soft' and 'Big New Priest', the UK CD featured several alternative and extended versions of songs (tracks 3, 5, 7, 8 and 12). In 2013, Beggars remastered and reissued the album on CD as a part of the 5 Albums box set; the new edition used the CD mixes sequenced according to the vinyl track order, with extra tracks and alternate vinyl mixes added as bonus tracks.
