THISISNOTANEXIT have been by the electronic rumors Inbox again, this time showcasing George Thompson and Kyle Martin A.K.A. Spectral Empire, with these two tracks only previously available on a very limited edition 12”.
Spectral Empire create some seriously dark, epic, soundtrack-esq music but still seem to be able to work a groove in there. Elements of it reminded me of very early instrumental Skinny Puppy but with more of a contemporary House backing. ‘Innerfearence’ comes across like a post-punk, New York Disco, take on Vangelis’ Blade Runner soundtrack, racing arpeggios and sweeping analog synths share the space with New Wave Disco drums while ‘The Minotaur’ is a deep industrial Electronic march that keeps from being to rigid with waves of freestyle synth noodling.
