There was some mention of this album a while back; it's supposed to be incredible, some sort of Ae/Reload/Plaid-ish thing, etc. However, what I find confusing is who it's *by*; I always see it listed under "Spooky", which would lead me to believe that it's DJ Spooky and is just mis-filed for some reason, or that it's DJ Spooky sans "DJ", or that it's just some other bloke who felt like calling himself "Spooky". It'd be great if someone could clarify this mess... Also, it seems to be out of print, yet it's still in everyone's catalogs...

There is the old UK techno group "Spooky" (I own a cassette of "Gargantuan", released on IRS in the US) The credits really don't say who they are, but "engineered by nick hale and charlie may, written by may/forbes." So i'm guessing charlie may is a member of the group. Trance Europe Express 1 features a track "persuasion" by Spooky and Billie Ray Martin, but that appears to be a cover, so the credits don't help. DJ Spooky always has "DJ" prominently in front of his name, and usually follows with "That Subliminal Kid" At 02:43 PM 4/19/99 -0400, Daniel S. Pregman wrote:

Spooky was around a long time before Dj Spooky, and definitly shouldn't be confused as such. I'm not too sure about Spooky's background, other than the fact they were part of the Guerrilla records camp. They put out a pair of excellent cd's. The first, Gargantuan (on Guerrilla/IRS), is more on a ambient-house tip. Nice use of vocals and Pixie's samples. Very smooth and lush in the production side of things. Found Sound goes more for an electro feel. Some of it reminds me of some Autechre tracks, lots of metallic cling-clang noises, with melodies and synth pads that remind me of Insides era Orbital.

don't forget the beastie boys. bboys plus pixies make for a rather catchy duo:) when guerrilla went down, they followed with series of releases on their own genetics label, one of which was the brillant shunt ep (or was it the clank ep, damn it i lost both, whichever it was it was the silver one.) i had my copy stolen a few years back and have unsuccessfully been searching since. i am rather curious as well as to what happen to them. i remember reading an article where they talked about taking a loan to buy their equipment. wonder if the realities of running a small label caught up with them. b.

>confused as such.

I don't know what Spooky is up to these days, but when Gargantuan first came out, NME or Melody Maker gave a very favorable review, saying it's way better than anything made by Aphex Twin (who was just beginning to emerge, with SAW1). The same issue of the weekly had a tiny, grainy photo of RDJ above the dance 12" chart. I remember listening to SAW1 and loving it and looking at the picture and thinking who the fudge is this guy? I think that issue of NME / MM also had something about B12's Electro-Soma, how it makes Aphex Twin sound like Kylie Minogue. Still brings a smile to my face thinking about that line.

I have a record of Fluxus artists including an excerpt of a La Monte Young "ambience" recording. Also, closely related to the history of IDM (IMHO) is Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis of Wire, who put out a record of the sound of an art gallery where they'd been involved in some installations. The record is called "MZUI" after the art gallery and was on Cherry Red records I believe. There are probably quite a few (of the less vociferous) IDM list members with those "Environments" series records, which are basically recordings of ambient environments that came out in the early 70's and were repressed at least once a few years later. I've seen tons of those in record bins over the years... These records might not fit your definition of "found sounds" I imagine... I just got "Brain Song" and "3 Ways of Saying 2" by Hafler Trio a week ago and suspect that there is some straight field recording on these records since Andrew McKenzie has been into that... I do sit and listen to sound effects records, ambiences, record vinyl rumble, etc. They are kind of nice in the aspect that there are no "people" there making the sound: no "intention" to the sound for me to deal with as a listenner.

Andrew McKenzie isn't into that so much, but Chris Watson definitely is. He was in Cabaret Voltaire at the start, and later worked with the Hafler Trio. More recently, he has two CDs of field recordings on the Touch label: _Outside the Circle of Fire_, and _Stepping Into the Dark_.

This brings up an interesting question. I've been looking for something like this for a while, but I'm weary of getting whale songs 'with background music'...ugh, that would be horrible. Whales with Yanni or some such nonsense. So, Ross (or anyone), are there any disks/tapes out there that do, indeed, have real humpback whale songs without all the commercial garbage to make it sound 'pretty'? I'm looking purely for whale songs, here; maybe scientific recordings along the lines of those voyager recordings of deep space...a pointer in the right direction or a taped copy...I'd appreciate anything at this point. As for finding it funny on first listen, I remember laughing my ass off to Chill Out the first time...now, I wouldn't leave the planet without it. Essential. ---brian Ross Balmer wrote:

Thats the sort of stuff I would be interested in hearing. >> Well, I'd be happy to make some recordings of this nature for you. Consider the following possibilites: - waking up in the morning: brushing teeth, urinating, etc. - cutting the grass with a power mower - ordering a tuna fish sandwich at a local delicatessen - typing e-mails at computer keyboard, nearby cat purring Of course I'm half joking, but on the other hand I'm half not joking. You might consider Olejandra and Underwood's work for some found sound treatments. "The Children's Album" has eerily transfixing material like "Kids Playing Baseball, East Village, NYC." And you can't beat the innovative packaging: a piece of construction paper, a cut-out of a strange card depicting cartoony telephones used to illustrate a math problem (at least mine looks like that - each one is different, I believe, and made by hand). Much of the material involves random people singing strange little songs from their youth...not necessarily in tune. Oh yeah, if you're smoking banana peels and you listen to that track, you'll hear subliminal sounds of kids playing baseball. - Fred Church bigkumquat@aol.com http://www.thelocus.com/kumquat (where *free* postage-paid kumquat cd's wait patiently to be sent to *you*)

Hmm, yes half joke accepted. But you know what I mean, professionally recorded and compiled in an imganitive way. I haven't heard of the CD you speak of. The blurb that came with my Benbecula CD (still haven't heard anyone else's reports on this label) says that CD 3 will be in this vain, I guess I'll just wait and see.

Some of the VLF recordings I've heard are quite soothing. Just nature doing it's thing in the radio spectrum. My receiver came with two tapes of recordings so I guess in some way it's published. http://www.triax.com/vlfradio/ And, although not natural as such, the Connet Project. Sit down in a dark room, listen to this and my brain starts re-writing The 3rd Man. http://www.ibmpcug.co.uk/~irdial/coneline.htm There is also an Australian who likes to record the vibrations of 1/2 a mile of telephone wire. Can't remember his name or the label. Apparently animals scratching themselves on the poles makes quite good bass. Later............ Steve. NP: People makeing noises in the kitchen.

Hmmm... they should make a compilation of such tracks; they could easily include the first track from Mika Vainio's "Ydin"... sounds like ~9:30 of "Electric Razor vs. Ma' Beard" :))) (Has to be a hell of a facial jungle, tho - at this length... =P) -- Kurt B.

the MZUI installation - or at least an radio-relay performance of the piece - can also be found on WMO's Lewis/Gilbert/Mills "Pacific/Specific" CD. mr. e. now on: salvatore: head spinning freely (slowly): sound @ 1
