Description

Artist : Spektre Title. Casting Shadows Without Light Genre. Respekt Recordings Source : WEB Ripdate.

Casting Shadows Without Light. Vocals – Ben Renwick. Too many different styles. Too many "songs" and not enough true Spektre techno. And what's with that "science-speak" shtick? I would answer, this is an artist album, Spektre's first true artist album, and it's a damned good one. It's varied and well-structured, not just a thrown-together collection of singles. The techno vibe is dominant with a significant tech-house overlay and a dash of electro. And, yes, the closing. Remixes Part 2. Artist: Spektre. Other versions of this album.

Album · 2010 · 10 Songs. Casting Shadows Without Light (Continuous DJ Mix).

Entitled Casting Shadows Without Light, the two-disc package shows the British duo fully embracing the album format. On the first disc, each track flows into the next just as it would in a DJ set, creating a listening experience that's meticulously paced from beginning to end. For DJs eager to use these tunes behind the decks, the second disc consists of 11 unmixed, extended selections from the album. Earlier this week, RA caught up with Spektre's Paul Maddox to talk about influences, the creative process, and the challenges of tackling a debut album  . The aesthetic for Spektre has always been about dark, spooky atmospheres, so we thought Casting Shadows Without Light summed up that idea nicely. What kind of challenges did you face recording your debut album? How was your creative approach different?

I dislike that they used a Lisa Gerrard sample on Distant Fever, but neglected to credit.

If you've read other reviews of this album, you've come away with plenty of negatives. Tries too hard. Too many different styles. It's inconsistent. Too many "songs" and not enough true Spektre techno. And what's with that "science-speak" shtick? I would answer, this is an artist album, Spektre's first true artist album, and it's a damned good one. It's varied and well-structured, not just a thrown-together collection of singles. The techno vibe is dominant with a significant tech-house overlay and a dash of electro. And, yes, the closing track is DnB and serves as a fine stylistic punctuation mark for the whole program.For those less interested in the home-listening, journey aspect of an artist album, Rich and Paul have obligingly provided a second disc of full-length extended mixes. Of the vocal tracks, "Casting Shadows Without Light" is the stand-out for me, and "Memory Effect" is probably my favorite track overall.
