专辑简介

As we all wait diligently, with our hands neatly tucked beneath our thighs to prevent ourselves from pulling out all our hair, Caligo is shaping up. The teasers are out, the tweets are flying, the buzz is spreading, there’s really nothing left to do besides twiddle our thumbs and wait for maybe one more single. The first single, “As I Need You,” was premiered on Annie Mac’s show last Friday. Featuring bright and beautiful female vocals, the tune is a brilliant modern take on neuro that incorporates a heavy amount of liquid elements, as well. The piano backing track is a wonderful melody accompanying the dark and sinister bassline; and as the track moves back and forth between “evil” and “good,” it leaves a heavy impression on the soul. It’s difficult to say what the rest of the album will sound like, but it’s good to know at least that the musicality that Jon Gooch has cultivated over the last decade and more is still as strong as ever. As for the rest of Caligo, well… it’s going to be first released on Bittorent, featuring a “pay what you want” option. It’s an interesting move, but according to Spor, one that made obvious sense. Bittorrent seemed an obvious choice. The way we communicate as artists is constantly being questioned, and the ground we live on is in constant shift. Having the Spor album live as a self-sufficient shared container via Bittorrent, something that’s everywhere and nowhere at the same time, replicating and spreading – embodies the nature of Spor. It’s my underground self. Vinyl lovers needn’t worry – the album will still be released in physical form later on. It will be released on Bittorrent on March 9th and digital stores on March 11th. Physical copies are still to be determined. As for what else Spor is up to, he’s got a huge mix coming out on BBC1 in the next few hours (1am GMT). Spor, Jon Gooch, Feed Me, however you want to address him, has made no attempt to hide his counter-culture attitude, and everything about this album is a testament to that belief system. It’s something to be admired, and it would be nice if others were to embrace it as much.
