Vapor Transmission is the second album by American Industrial rock band Orgy. It was released on October 10, 2000.
The first 1000 pressings (as well as the Japanese release) of the album included a bonus track known as "The Spectrum", which starts at the 6 minute mark of the last track "Where's Gerrold". Some packages of this album included an enhanced CD that contained a demo version of the song "Stitches," a remix, and a video for the single "Fiction (Dreams in Digital)". The aforementioned single received significant radio play upon release, reaching number 6 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. A second single, "Opticon", had more moderate success, and was featured on the soundtrack to the 2001 horror film Valentine . According to vocalist Jay Gordon, the song contains a drum sample from "The Stroke" by Billy Squier. "Suckerface" and "Eva" were also released as promotional singles.
Vapor Transmission largely continues the style heard on Candyass . However, while the electronic effects remain prominent, heavily distorted guitars are slightly de-emphasized with a strong focus on melody.
