REVIEWS

  • ALTERNATIVE PRESS (US)

    "Every time SPEC. threatens to become precious and repetitive, Chartier and Deupree make some microscopic adjustment to the groove that leaves you respecting their ability to make infinitesimal variations in a music that "moves" so little. "

  • AMBIENTRANCE (US)

    "somewhat like ear-peering through a special audio-microscope to hear the daily lives of digital electrons at work and at play."

  • BLOW UP (IT)

    "spontanee microcombustioni, movenze spastiche, increspature molecolari che combiano in modo esemplare il puntillismo ritmico di deupree e la pacate modulazioni vetrose ripiche di chartier"

  • CHICAGO READER (US)

    "a fascinating assemblage of skeletal beats,"

  • GROOVES (US)

    "Silence is also played beautifully here, becoming an anxiety-producing pause between what sounds like a roulette wheel spinning again and again"

  • THE WIRE (UK)

    "Carefully explored fridge drones, whines, clicks, fax noises and a kind of tinnitus techno, turn a potentially neutral listening experience into something more characterful and inventive."

  • XLR8R (US)

    "...those interested in the particulate sound of Ryoji Ikeda or last year's 20' - 2000 series will enjoy SPEC., which is as much a testament to the absence of sound itself, alternatingly quiet and ear-shreddingly intense..."
