ORPHEUS' THIRD ALBUMNote: One of the founding members of Orpheus has requested that his name be removed from this page, and his likeness obscured. As a courtesy to this individual we have partially complied with this request, despite the fact that his identity is a matter of public record. This individual has been designated (name deleted). We have not obscured his likeness, because the album art is copyrighted by Iris Properties, Inc., and is posted with permission.
Furthermore, this individual has asked that any audio clips of performances including his voice or his instrumental work, or of songs that he has written, be removed from this page. We have not, however, removed the clips of the commercially released songs below, because:
our posting of these short clips constitutes "fair use;"
similar clips of these performances are widely available on dozens, if not hundreds, of web sites; and
rights to these songs and / or performances reside with Iris Properties, Inc., not with the aforesaid individual, and we have posted
these clips with the permission of the copyright holder.
