J. WALKER - "SPECTRA!" LP

 EFFICIENT SPACE:  

Spectra! represents a lone, anomaly release by illusive producer and recording artist J. Walker of Perth, Western Australia. Recorded and produced in 2016, Spectra! comprises a collection of 12 instrumental works, composed in response to an imagined brief investigating refined shades and pigments of colour.

Whilst stylistically somewhat comparable to library music recordings from Europe released throughout the '80s, Walker’s compositions never step too closely toward facsimile. Instead, they maintain a unique sense of identity, one closer akin to a born-too-late contemporary interpretation of the sentimentality and lost moods that allowed library music it’s point of difference and charm in the first place.

Recommended for fans of the Coloursound Library and Joël Vaandroogenbroeck.
