Release Notes:
Spectral Sound, dancefloor imprint of Ghostly International, is five
releases old. Spectral Five is a synopsis of the past and an ominous
spectre of things to come. 4 producers, all hailing from the Ann
Arbor/Detroit area are here, some of the finest in the country, and
comprise the core of the label.
James Cotton, aka Dabrye/Tadd Mullinix, is the raw centrifuge, tearing
through I Seek with a vicious proto-industrial energy. All crap drum
machines and eerie, elevating synths.
Osborne, aka Todd Osborn of "Bout Ready to Jak" fame, and one of this
2003's "Next 100" in URB magazine, makes Shift his jackingest yet. Up
and down grooves, slapback acid funk; a pure floor seeker.
Matthew Dear, also of 2003's URB "Next 100" fame, brings polyrhyhtms to
bear in Plinko. Plinko can best be described as multi-directional
scatterstep beats, a recurring trademark of Dear (as heard on his
Perlon release as Jabberjaw), and dangerously descending bassline
stairs.
Flexitone (the return ofà), formerly of Planet E, is an alias of
Interdimensional Transmissions' Brendan M. Gillen. Moist is drippy
detroit techno, like a mysterious passage through a water-logged
digital filter, dividing house and glitch in half.
This is the State of the Union.
