Product Description

CD Description
Though history will probably remember him best as part of New York's "illbient" Soundlab collective, Spooky tries to bea man of the past, present, and future simultaneously on this album by allying himself with the futurist movement of the early 20th century. He's joined on FILE UNDER FUTURISM by the avant-garde Freight Elevator Quartet, whose mixture of string instruments, vintage modular synthesizers, and contemporary sampling techniques makes them perfect for the task ofcreating retro-futurism.
While the skittering breakbeatsof the self-titled opening track sound undeniably of-the-moment, the musique concrete feel of "Interstitial A" and the title alone of "RCA Mark II Synthesizer" are redolent of older, more academic modes of electronic music-making. There's a purposefully hard, angular feel to most of this album, separating it from the more organic ambience of Spooky's earlier recordings. However, it's all in the service of a modus operandi that links contemporary technology/aesthetics with forward-looking visions from the past to find the common ground between the two and use it as a propellant into still-uncharted territory.
