Spectral Sound may be Ghostly's younger sibling, but its aesthetic is just as finely honedand its releases sound much better on the dancefloor. Spectral Essentials: One represents artists from Spectral's early days (James T. Cotton, Hieroglyphic Being, Jeff Samuel) alongside the labels new guard (Kate Simko, Seth Troxler, Lee Curtiss) for an all-in-one survey of the labels overarching vision. Highlights include the African-inspired vocal house of Bodycode's Imitation Dub, the ping-pong funk of James T. Cotton's Oochie Coo, the mind-bending tonal curlicues of Audion's I Gave You Away, and many more. Spectral Essentials is just as its name implies: an indispensable compilation of artfully executed dance music, full of style and body-moving substance.
