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.
