for lyrics to Squirt. By the way, in case you're wondering...that's
a picture Alex took of his blender, (looking down into it). Simply wicked.
This
CD is the first bit of ear candy to be released in the Omni Era. It kicks
off with a two second intro. There's this jet like sound that pans in stereo
from left to right and then silences with the word SPARTICUS. Click here
to hear I Am Sparticus.
The CD
goes right into Squirt (Sparticus Mix), which is a remix song from
Sparticus's favorite techno band- FLUKE.
Alex added his own drums, sound effects, bass drum rhythms, and vocals.
Alex recorded his own version of the same lyrics, while remaining true
to the drunken, crazy, yet awesome sound that Fluke leader Jon Fugler did
for the vocals of the original 1997 classic Squirt. This track is
so wicked!
Since Fluke is the style of techno that Alex is taking Sparticus into for
Omni, he thought it appropriate to open up the Omni era with a remix of
Fluke. If you like this track, go to Fluke's website to buy their best
CD Risotto. They're on the same record label, Astralwerks,
as the famous Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim.
The end of Squirt (Sparticus Mix) bleeds right into the beginning
of Lodestar, an early version of a track from the new album, Omni.
This is a great, relaxing track. Futuristic drum'n'bass with harps and
vibra bells, mixed with Alex's spacey, echoed vocals show just how incredible
Sparticus is. For Omni, he wants to emphasize the fact that techno can
make songs, not just dance tunes to play in clubs. It has evolved
way past that, as explained through Lodestar.
Then, as a throwback to N->R->G, a track from that album was taken
directly off, unremixed or resampled. The acclaimed The Technique -
1st Movement closes things down at a pulsing 135 beats per minute.
The CD ends with the same two-second intro track. This is one tight CD! |
