MALKA 020EP
|
Spectral Empire are George Thompson (aka Black Merlin/Karamika) and Kyle Martin (Vactrol Park/Land of Light). With the release of Iron Muscle, they are celebrating ten years since their debut. They've used every home appliance and improvised noise they could find for the title track. Anything from kitchen drawers to DVD's and cutlery was sampled and then drenched in effects and manipulated in order to create what came out as a cinematic futuristic piece to dive into again and again, a soundtrack for an unwritten sci-fi movie, or just a dramatic soundtrack for your everyday lives. Includes Die Wilde Jagd remix.

NEK 012EP
|
Spectral Empire prove once again that they're some of the deepest producers working today. The UK duo -- George Thompson (aka Black Merlin) and Kyle Martin (half of Land Of Light) -- make their Nuearth Kitchen debut with two tracks of stunning depth and range. A stellar example of spy-thriller disco, "Goloko Dhama" induces an exhilarating paranoia not unlike that created in Can's epic "Mother Sky." "Sadhu" seems like it could be emanating from a Nepalese mountaintop after a morning ceremony. It begins with exotic tintinnabulation, distant bass ripples, and celestial temple drones and then gradually accrues a steely-eyed, tribal-disco propulsion, accented by sputtering 808s.
