Well, as for Gargantuan, you might be out of luck since it is
discontinued since 1993. I know of two new Spooky EP respectively
called "Clank" and "Stereo", both on the Generic Label.
Ref: - Clank EP, Generic Recordings, genrd001,1995, A&M Records London
- Stereo EP, Generic Recordings, genrd002, 1995, A&M Rec. London
Very hard to find, but worth every second.
You might also try these two On-line record shops, they have a very
good techno catalog:
- CD Europe:
http://www.cdeurope.com/
- German Dance and Techno: telnet://musicexpress.com/
Hope this helps

I think 'Gargantuan' may be out of print. It's on Guerilla. Since that
album, they've released three EP's ("Clank," "Stereo," "Shunt") and an
album ('Found Sound') on Generic/A&M (UK). I should think that Ear/Rational
Music (
http://www.xmission.com/~ear/) can get some or all of these for you.

You might try Newbury Comics...

Oddly enough, I've just listened to a Spooky EP just before I read your
post. On Generic Recordings, it's called the Clank EP, was released in
1995 by A&M records and includes: Clank, Oblong, Thai and Relief. For
more info write to 'Spooky, Freepost CV 744, Bedford Street, CV32 5BR.
Freepost will be in the UK only I reckon, so add the required postage if
you're outside.

Spooky's GARGANTUAN lp is absolutely blinding. If you do not own a copy of
this lp then go beg, borrow or steal the sob! Little Bullet Part One has
to be one of the most perfect songs ever created as well as every other
masterpiece on the album. Skip their new one and GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS
CD!!! Sorry for the over emphasizing but GARGANTUAN is ESSENTIAL.

That is too weird.
I was just on CDNOW this morning reading the exact same thing and
wondering where the "BUY" button was... After extensive searching for
gargantuan, I found nothing. I WANT THIS ALBUM!
If anyone has a source, let me know, I'll bite.

Isolation tank has the new CD "Found Sound" plus 3 of their Cds in stock:
"Clank" Cds, "Shunt" Cds and "Fingerbobs" Cds. All of Spooky's stuff is
amazing. If ANYONE finds the damn "Gargantuan" CD, please post to ALL of
us! If anyone can also find the Spooky releases for "Stereo" Cds, "Little
Bullet" Cds and w/ Billy Ray Martin "Persuasion" Cds, please post as well.
CDEurope and German music Express have all of these listed in their
catalogue for hell of expensive prices, but they arent in stock.
Lastly, to comment on "Gargantuan", it supposedly was picked up by a
label in Europe, but I have no idea who..
