Sound
The Winston Giles Orchestra sound has been compared to: The Flaming Lips, Lemon Jelly, Pink Floyd. Their sound is often described as a fusion of Electronica, Downtempo, Psychedelic and rock with heavy Ambient influences. Since the release of the debut album "Soundtracks for Sunrise" in December 2004, Australia’s The Winston Giles Orchestra have been presenting a new and unique sound that has permeated through to fans of all styles of music. Warm and emotive, quirky and uplifting, yet at times dark and brooding - The WGO’s sound has created a new beginning for those who enjoy real music - with more than a twist !
Ambient, lounge, chill-out, downtempo, psy-trance, electronic, psychedelic, rock: the sound of The Winston Giles Orchestra illuminates all these styles with its electronic approach and the use of fresh beats and samples, but also creates something very real and genuine by featuring real instrumentation from melodic guitars and synths to brass and woodwind.
The orchestra sound is filled with many different sounds and varying moods. Whilst the presence of beats and the influences of dance music lays a modern bed to the sound, familiar licks of rock and guitar based bands such as Pink Floyd and even Led Zeppelin present themselves, but are not obvious, rather woven into the modern electronic canvas.

Famous quotes containing the word sound:
“Midnight has come and the great Christ Church bell
And many a lesser bell sound through the room;
And it is All Souls’ Night.
And two long glasses brimmed with muscatel
Bubble upon the table. A ghost may come;
For it is a ghost’s right....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Faith in reason as a prime motor is no longer the criterion of the sound mind, any more than faith in the Bible is the criterion of righteous intention.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Monte Beragon: When I’m close to you like this, there’s a sound in the air like the beating of wings. Do you know what that is?
