For those not in the know, The Orchesography Box Set expands b>Wang Chung’s original orchestral project into a stunning 6-CD journey through orchestral versions, vocal variations, and inventive remixes plus two additional CD singles.

Featuring hits like Let’s Go, Dance Hall Days, Everybody Have Fun Tonight and the iconic To Live and Die in L.A., this comprehensive release redefines their sound for fans old and new.

Indeed, it beautifully bridges the band’s iconic past with a bold, orchestral future, celebrating the timeless strength of their songwriting.

Disc 1:
1. Dance Hall Days 2. Let’s Go 3. Everybody Have Fun Tonight 4. To Live And Die In L.A. 5. Overwhelming Feeling 6. Hypnotize Me 7. Space Junk 8. Electric Days 9. The World In Which We Live 10. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Reprise)

This incredibly stunning 6-CD box set opens on a slew of greatest hits all done as Orchestral versions, and which begins with gorgeously smooth Dance Hall Days and the criminally underrated song Let’s Go and then comes the massive worldwide hit Everybody Have Fun Tonight (complete with seizure-inducing video!), the atmospherically-charged soundtrack cut To Live And Die In L.A. and a song made even more beautiful here, the stunningly elegant Overwhelming Feeling.

Along next is one of their more hypnotizing songs, the aptly-titled Hypnotize Me and that is in turn backed by an oddity, a newer track of theirs that just didn’t land with the fans, albeit to be underrated, the rhythmically-grooved Space Junk, the beautifully performed/crafted Electric Days (an upside down world version of Dance Hall Days), the set rounding out on the propellent The World In Which We Live, closing on a newly quilted treatment of Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Reprise).

Disc 2:
1. Hypnotize Me (Orchestra And Vocal Version) 2. Let’s Go (Orchestra And Vocal Version) 3. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Orchestra And Vocal Version) 4. To Live And Die In LA (Orchestra And Vocal Version) 5. Overwhelming Feeling (Orchestra And Vocal Version) 6. Dance Hall Days (Orchestra And Vocal Version) 7. Space Junk (Orchestra And Vocal Version) 8. The World In Which We Live (Orchestra And Vocal Version) 9. Electric Days (Orchestra And Vocal Version) 10. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Reprise) (Orchestra And Vocal Version)

The second disc is chock floor to ceiling with Orchestra and Vocal Versions, Instrumentals, so everything you heard before just further enhanced.

Stand outs here for me, although they are all simply breathtaking to listen to and enjoy in this veritably acoustic string format, are Hypnotize Me, To Live And Die In LA, Dance Hall Days and both Space Junk and The World In Which We Live.

Disc 3:
1. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Orcapella) 2. Hypnotize Me (Orcapella) 3. To Live And Die In LA (Orcapella) 4. Dance Hall Days (Orcapella) 5. Let’s Go (Orcapella) 6. Overwhelming Feeling (Orcapella) 7. Space Junk (Orcapella) 8. Electric Days (Orcapella) 9. The World In Which We Live (Orcapella) 10. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Reprise) (Orcapella)

The third disc takes the songs to a whole other symphonic level, this time by rearranging all the hits in an Orcapella styling, which allows them to crystalize together very nicely.

Stand outs here for me, although there a just so many, are cuts such as the opener Everybody Have Fun Tonight, To Live And Die In LA, a resilient Dance Hall Days and both the beauty of Overwhelming Feeling and The World In Which We Live.

Disc 4:
1. Hypnotize Me (One Era Remix) 2. Let’s Go (Soda Pimps Remix) 3. To Live And Die In LA (Skintologists Love And Dub In LA) 4. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Reprise) (Aimes Remix) 5. Dance Hall Days (Kim And Buran 80’s Boogie Remix) 6. The World In Which We Live (Sands Of Rio Remix) 7. Overwhelming Feeling (Domestic Technology Spring And Bass Remix) 8. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Beats Remix) 9. Space Junk (Chris Coco Balearic Dub) 10. Electric Days (Extended Mix)

The fourth disc has a lot of remixes and extended cuts and is quite easily my favorite disc of the set.

Stand outs here for me are the all-embracing Hypnotize Me (One Era Remix), the stoic To Live And Die In LA (Skintologists Love And Dub In LA), the bursting alive Dance Hall Days (Kim And Buran 80’s Boogie Remix), and both the vibrant Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Beats Remix) and an extended mix of Electric Days.

Disc 5:
1. Dance Hall Days (Orchestral Version) 2. Dance Hall Days (Daniele Baldelli & DJ Rocca Vocal Remix) 3. Dance Hall Days (Kim & Buran Disco Mix) 4. Dance Hall Days (Psychmagik Remix) 5. Dance Hall Days (Orcapella)

The fifth disc is basically an EP showcasing various versions done in both Orchestral ways and as Remixes of Dance Hall Days. The song is just so nostalgic in so many ways and it is amazing how such a simple song can be so absolutely brilliant and indeed iconic all these decades later.

Disc 6:
1. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Orchestral Extended Remix) 2. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Rikky Disco Club Edit) 3. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Orchestral Version) 4. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Beats Remix) 5. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Rikky Disco Remix) 6. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Diskette Remix) 7. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Brassapella) 8. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Orchestral Extended Instrumental)

The sixth, and final disc is yet another EP showcasing various versions done as Orchestral, Remixes and Instrumental forms, Everybody Have Fun Tonight. And the same applies here as it did to Dance Hall Days that the song is just so nostalgic in so many ways and it is amazing how such a simple song can be so absolutely brilliant and indeed iconic all these decades later.

I mean, come on now, when they spun this jam at the clubs back in the 80’s, EVERYONE jumped on the dance floor! Even YOU! The song is pure summer encapsulated. It was also a song that once you heard got stuck in your head for years to come!
