on social media, i decided to stop following most people i know. instead, i just like artists record labels magazines restaurants authors djs etc. this dj posted a track that showed up in my news feed last week. i had no recollection of who this eomac person was. i didn't have any music in my library from eomac. the track he posted was one that he did for a recent comp that also new unreleased music by kangding ray, who's one of my favorites. my interest was piqued. i began to dig. the track was great. the comp was great. i grabbed it. i hit eomac's discog page. i am really into full length records by electronic artists. a full length takes a lot of work, especially to make one that's really good, one that's fully rideable front to back. most are happy just producing singles. and that's fine, if you're a dj or a club goer. but if you listen to most of your music all day at home and at work non-stop, singles become too much work. i am presently trying to educate myself in reverse chronological order. by that i mean, i like to see what appeals to me among that which is current first. i can't really tell if stuff sounds dated if i don't know what's going on now, goes my thinking. i can't really feel like i can get a gague on what stands the test of time and what doesn't if i don't know the current climate. so, this full length right here, spectre, is from 2014. that's like iphone 5S territory. ancient history. so, not expecting much, i youtubed this. i was barely ten seconds in when bells rang inside my head. i need this, i thought. this has classic material written all over it. dig it.
