5.0 out of 5 stars
An Unsung Classic, 17 Jan 2001
By A Customer
I was lucky enough to by this album on vinyl in 1995 almost as soon as it had been released Warp.Having really enjoyed the music from the likes of Black Dog and Aphex Twin I was interested to know more about the works of Speedy J as he had contributed a particularly outstanding track to Warp's excellent Artificial Intelligence vol 1 complilation. When I bought G-Spot, I couldn't help being somewhat dumbfounded and a little awestruck by its' brilliance. Initially I noticed the album was alot more upbeat and direct than 'Ginger', his debut album on Warp, but on further listening, was still as diverse and interesting, warm yet coldy electronic as its' predecessor. It was more progressive, and more considered, constantly inventive, ploughing subtle 303 acid textures into the melody and building really beautifully crafted ambience to the whole soundtrack. I listen to this album even now 6 years later and would rate 'Ping Pong' and 'The Oil Zone' as the best tracks, but this is a real listening 'album' which needs attention to from start to finish. There's no duffers here. This is on a par with Aphex Twin's selected Ambient works which I would thoroughly recommend even though nowadays you are likely to associate this type of music as a background for chopping coriander and recipe summaries on 'Gary Rhodes' or something!!! Which is all a bit tragic really.
