FINAL FANTASY - Spectrum 14th Century EP
Stay posted for the 10" release of showtune-transformed Lukashevsky rags, Final Fantasy Plays To Please (pushed back to who knows when), but 'til then, full attention can be gladly paid to these 14th Century fakeways of the lordliest order. Birdcalls and faded-in mathy stabs in fifteen yield to distant swells of orchestration on opener "Oh Spectrum", using a nifty tympani transition to reach "Blue Imelda"'s steel-pan sweetening. "Cockatrice" mixes what might well be sandpaper and sticks as its base, intermittently breaking into thumb-piano pauses. Life on Spectrum ends with "The Ballad Of No-Face", whose pith could even be matched with a dead-end mag meme.
