Spectral Sound

Profile:
Sister-label of Ghostly International.

Official label communication:

"Spectral Sound was formed in 2000 as the Ghostly International label [sister-label of Spectral Sound] was moving toward more experimental and pop releases. Keeping the label's dance-floor roots growing, Spectral focuses on moody, leftfield techno/house and showcases the music of area artists like Matthew Dear, Osborne, James Cotton and Hieroglyphic Being. Spectral has also worked with some of America's best producers at the remix/reconstruction level, including Germany's Reinhard Voigt (Kompakt) and Pantytec (Perlon), LA's David Alvarado, Virginia's Bryan Zentz and NYC's John Selway. With releases as diverse as acid house workouts to glitched-out dub tracks, the Spectral Sound imprint strives to find the perfect balance between retro and future, art and dance.

The most annoying thing about Spectral sounds is this: If you appreciate all types of electronic music as long as it's quality, you'll have to buy everything from this label as they don't put out bad releases. After tracking down the 100 or so and counting releases, your pocket book is getting smaller. Don't forget to buy all the Ghostly records also, which is a sister label to this, and just as quality, though for me, I can do without the industrial type stuff. I'm not saying that the industrial releases are not quality, they certainly are, but I just don't really like that type of music. So yeah, the only downfall about this label and Ghostly, is that you'll want to buy all the releases coz they are so damn good. Matt Dear(Audion), Osborn, Tadd(Ghostly), Lawrence(he is Ghostly too), Kate Simko, Lee Curtiss, Daso, are all a good place to start from these Sammy V. owned labels.
