>There was some mention of this album a while back; it's supposed to be >incredible, some sort of Ae/Reload/Plaid-ish thing, etc. However, what I >find confusing is who it's *by*; I always see it listed under "Spooky", >which would lead me to believe that it's DJ Spooky and is just mis-filed >for some reason, or that it's DJ Spooky sans "DJ", or that it's just some >other bloke who felt like calling himself "Spooky". It'd be great if >someone could clarify this mess... Spooky was around a long time before Dj Spooky, and definitly shouldn't be confused as such. I'm not too sure about Spooky's background, other than the fact they were part of the Guerrilla records camp. They put out a pair of excellent cd's. The first, Gargantuan (on Guerrilla/IRS), is more on a ambient-house tip. Nice use of vocals and Pixie's samples. Very smooth and lush in the production side of things. Found Sound goes more for an electro feel. Some of it reminds me of some Autechre tracks, lots of metallic cling-clang noises, with melodies and synth pads that remind me of Insides era Orbital. >Also, it seems to be out of print, yet it's still in everyone's catalogs... I finally managed to find this the other day, so it's floating about here and there. If you find any of the ep's, grab em... Does anyone know what Spooky's been up to lately????? cheers q ------------------------- quentin rogers http://www.teamlounge.com xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx ----------
