The Church

In the live recording of "Tantalised" featuring The Church with the George Ellis Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House, the band was in a creative resurgence following the release of their album “After Everything Now This” in 1992. This performance likely took place during the early 2000s, a period when The Church was exploring orchestral arrangements and deeper sonic textures, which was a departure from their earlier post-punk sound. The collaboration with an orchestra showcases their willingness to innovate and expand their musical horizons. Notably, "Tantalised," originally from the band's 1982 album "Priest=Aura," exemplifies their knack for blending atmospheric and melodic elements. The choice of venue, the iconic Sydney Opera House, reflects their status as an esteemed act in the Australian music scene, and the orchestral accompaniment adds a unique dimension to a beloved classic.
