专辑简介

"This album has a very polished feel to it – there’s an aura of maturity that emanates from it that puts it a cut above her (already fantastic) previous works. Any knucklehead with a Gameboy, an LSDJ cartridge, and a weekend can make something that at least sounds somewhat musical. chipzel, however, is to that weekend chiptune warrior as Van Gogh is to a kid with a sponge and some paint.

Spectra excels in many ways. In particular the percussion is very well crafted. Some of you may not be aware of the effort that can go into creating percussion instruments in trackers like LSDJ, but take it from me, that’s some darn good music-ing. The eponymous first track on the album showcases the expert way in which those drum sounds have been composed. What really strikes me, though, is that this album is a cohesive entity. Some albums are just collections of tracks with no general theme or purpose. Spectra isn’t a concept album, per se, except perhaps in the broader sense that many of the track names are related to astronomical or atmospheric phenomena. That being said, what makes the album cohesive is how the tracks flow well together, presenting each song as an extension of the one before while at the same time portraying its own identity."
