What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

More goodness from lo:AF courtesy of SPECTAC from Ireland. Those with memories may remember I was extremely keen on their album (Rabbid) from ages ago. This is another of those 3" CD jobs in a 12" sleeve packaged in incredible artwork. Initially it's classical sounding gear with some small electronic twinkles...but then it kicks in with some beats and we think it sounds a bit like a more souped up Plaid. Lush electronics for you who like that kind of thing! Maybe check

What the label says:

“Horn” is the third release for Dublin’s own, Paul Morrin aka Spectac and his debut for LOAF. Fidgeting between sharp-edged percussive sound and melody saturated riffs, “Horn” comes across as a piece full of tenderness, intricacies and streams of warm caressing patterns. Imagine a patchwork blanket lovingly handed down through your family, generation to generation, with each little patch more intricate, textural and inviting than the last. Spectac is quite the veteran of the Irish electronica circuit. In fact he actually started making waves in Dublin in 1993 under his PSR-400 moniker, using only guitar pedals, broken turntables and scrap metal. Spectac has not con?ned his creative output to the Emerald Isle, far from it; he’s actually released music around the world, from Poland to China and back again, delighting many with his compositions and execution. After a debut live show supporting Lee Scratch Perry, he quickly notched up several European festivals and a varied range of fans to boot. But not content with showcasing himself to the world, Spectac returned refreshed and has been key in set-up “Front End Synthetics”, a record label dedicated to Eire-Tronic-Eire (excuse the pun). Their roster includes Planet Mu’s Ambulance, Rod and Spectac himself (check out his debut album “Rabbid”.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
